Women often stand in front of their closets and state they have nothing to wear. But the worst mistakes they can make are the following five fashion faux pas. The first one is so common and really so uncalled for that I wonder why it still happens. Visible Panty Lines, or VPL, yes the old “look everyone I have on panties.” Why women feel this is necessary to share with the rest of the world I don’t know. This can easily be fixed. Fashion experts feel that thongs are the answer to this but for those of us who feel uncomfortable with a string in places we would rather not think of, there are now full panties that do not show a line. Go one step further and remember that to wear white pants with anything else but flesh colored undies, the effect of thongs or no pantyline panties is lost.
I personally don’t think that everything the experts say is gospel so this is one I have mixed feelings about. When I was growing up no well groomed lady would leave her house for special occasions without hose. Now going bare leged is in vogue especially with peep toe shoes. I thought hose with no seam line on the toes or heels was invented for this. Ladies go with the crowd or be thought behind the times. But let me say I have seen toes that even when they had a pedicure were better covered.
Ill fitting clothes have no place in any woman’s closet. But most of us have tried to get a few more wearings out of that favorite outfit that just doesn’t fit anymore. Well, either give it away or skip some meals until it fits again. Large women try to hide in too much fabric. No, this does not work! It just draws attention to what you are trying to hide

Believe it or not, I do research my work. As a student I hated having to read articles to write a report. This now is a pleasure as well as enlightening. I had to chuckle yesterday when I started my research on just what the basics are and if the “experts” felt the same way I do. My finding was yes we thought the same. Articles of clothing were basic. But lord! The price they thought was good in this era of budget crunches was NOT! Let’s just take a look at what the expert thought.
Every woman needs a LBD (little black dress). This piece of clothing can take you from a casual outing to an after five occasion. You can dress it up with scarves, jewelry, or belts to make a statement. Here the experts quoted a budget price of $425 as a good price. Well rush out and buy me a dozen, LOL. I looked on line and found prices from $39.95 to $295.00.
Next was what most women know we all need, a white blouse. White blouses can be worn with anything from jeans to a silk skirt for evening and a business suite for work. The great fashion heads stated that is should be around $395.00. Oh Please! For between $39.99 to $89.99 you can get a blouse in a wide variety of materials.
Ok we all love cashmere. This soft, luxurious fabric is what dreams are made of! Well dig in your pockets for their approved price of $425.00. Cashmere can last a long time and is a good buy. I found and paid around $100.00 to $125.00 for a two ply sweater which after six years looks as good as new!
