Colour mismatchingI saw a woman with a really beautiful yellow jacket, but then I realized that she had paired it with an ENTIRELY BLACK outfit.It made the jacket look cheap instead of chic. Why? Because bright, wonderful colours should not be paired with black. The contrast is just too sharp for something like that to work. It just looks 80s, and not in a good way.That yellow jacket should’ve been paired with a dark brown neutral, or a navy blue for a bit of flair, or even white, to balance the tones in the colour.I could even forgive black being paired with the yellow, but she was in an TOTALLY black outfit. Black shoes, black top, black pants.. Ladies, you think it’s a simple answer to your problems, and that it makes your cute yellow jacket be the center of attention, but it DOESN’T!It just makes your cute yellow jacket look like a cheap jacket, paired against a bleak background, instead of accenting a really fashionable outfit, and a sense of flair, had she worn it with navy or midnight blue instead of black, or dark chocolate brown, or white.Pigeon Toes + PicklesWhy is it that I see so many women in super high, thin, tottery heels walking like they’ve got a pickle up their butt? They’re walking PIGEON-TOED.Let me repeat it again.If you can’t pull of super high heels, wear shorter onesThat’s what I do! I can’t pull off anything over 2â€, and even that’s a stretch. I tend to stick to 1†or 1.5†heels because I KNOW I look like a damn fool in anything higher, as though I’m an awkward tween trying out Mommy’s Jimmy Choos.Wafts of smoke is just as bad as too much perfumeI’m not knocking on the smokers, but seriously… have you ever considered (other than for health reasons), the stench that smoking gives off?I saw an incredibly gorgeous girl get on the bus today. Stunning. Her hair was flawless, she accessorized to the T, and she looked amazing.But once she sat down beside me, it was just as bad as bathing in perfume. She was a smoker. And not just a light one, a VERY HEAVY one.I choked from the stench embedded in her clothing, and was ready to gag.I know, it’s your habit, it’s your thing, but consider cutting down to half a pack a day if you must, not 3 packs… It ruined the entire, gorgeous, almost flawless package.Miniskirt scratchingFB: La la la la la la…..*looking out the window*……….. OMG.. I JUST DID NOT WANT TO SEE THATCo-Worker: What? What?? *rubbernecks*FB: I just saw a middle-aged, platinum-bleached blonde in too short, too tight clothing, LIFT up her miniskirt to scratch her cellulite-ridden butt… with her butt FACING PUBLIC. At least if you’re gonna scratch your butt, make your butt face the wall, and discreetly scratch instead of flashing your ass to all the poor drivers just trying to make it through the day without that image burned into their retinas.Co-Worker: Yea. At least scratch your butt up against the wall or something, like an elephant. You know, we could have a sign on the walls of all fine establishments saying “Scratch Hereâ€FB:…. I need some chocolate.Accessories OverkillSaw a girl today.Bright platinum blonde hair, bangles up to her elbows, short brown pirate boots, black leggings (EWWW), a ghetto baby blue hoodie barely covering her leggings covered butt, a big huge blinging belt and rings on every finger, plus big gold hoops and sunglasses piled ontop of her hair.Yep.Electronics are cool….… but do you have to wear them ALL around your neck?I counted a necklace, a MP3 player, a cellphone, a walkie talkie, keys and a breast cancer badge (kudos!)… But she honestly looked like an stand for hooks, and while it may be very convenient to have everything right in front of you on your chest, it doesn’t mean it looks cute.Keep it to one, if you must, or just be more organized with your purse. No need to jangle all of that all around your neck, girl!
