Leggings as pants. Now, I love my skinny jeans as much as the next person—they look great casual or glammed up, with flats, boots, or heels, and they show off all of my hard work in the gym. I can see why the world has fallen for skinny jeans, but I’m afraid that the leggings-as-pants movement completely escapes me. More and more often, I’m seeing girls leaving the house having committed an unforgivable mistake—forgetting to put on their pants. Regardless of how great your legs and bum are, leggings or tights as pants do little more than make everyone around you wish they could offer you a spare pair of trousers, you poor dear.

Killer heels. When I say killer, I mean killer. These are not your sexy stilettos or gorgeous wedges that I’m talking about—rather I mean shoes tall enough that you could crack a couple of vertebrae if you took a fall. While heels are great for slimming out the legs and giving a triumphant boost to your height and self-esteem, stumbling around in 8” heels with only a handrail keeping you from tumbling to the ground is in my books not at all synonymous with strong and sexy female.

An oversaturation of sequins. Yes, sequins can give you a sultry, shimmery look, but you can also end up looking like a disco ball or an ice-skating contestant. If you must go for an outfit that glitters and shines, try to limit it to one sparkly piece—or perhaps one sparkly accessory. While you might think that you look good enough to stop traffic, bear in mind that if you do, it might well be due to the fact that you and your sparklicious glory have blinded every driver in sight.

So, as as it happens when I am not actively writing, I am redoing my bedroom and on that note, I have just picked up the nicest new set of shutters! They were pretty pricey but really worth it.
