Stop That Now! Or, What the Hell Have You Done to Your Feet?
It's time for another round of Stop That Now! - my findings of fashion don'ts that must, in the name of all things good, be stopped immediately.
Today:
Why your bottom third is just as critical as your top third.
We ladies spend A LOT of money on our face and hair. We're constantly searching for the next great coif. (Drew! No, Cameron! No, Kate! OK, yes, let's go with Kate.) We'll try any face serum that promises to erase lines and make us look 13 again. And we own every color of lipstick ever created. Even the ones that look hideous against our skin tone.
So much time and money has been spent on our top third, that sometimes it's easy to forget there's a bottom third that also requires a bit of love and effort. Like this lady:
Cropped pants, black socks AND hot pink Crocs? It's like I died and went to rubber-clog hell. OK, here are three quick tips to upgrade (if possible) this look:
1. Capris and socks NEVER go together. Never.
2. Black socks only go with black pants that are full length, and then only with black shoes.
3. Crocs go with nothing. Unless you're three years old. Then they delightfully go with everything. That's your window for Croc wear. If you're not in it, then you can't wear it. Them's the rules.
Now, toss that outfit into the garbage can so conveniently positioned next to you and get shopping for something a bit easier on the eyes.
