Trend Overdose

One of the major fashion mistakes most fashion editors would often say would have to be this – trend overdose. From the word itself, that’s combining multiple trends in one look. BUT, and that’s a big fat but, they never said something like that when it comes to accessories.

Two months after fashion week, it’s but natural to expect a trove of trends from its participants and apologies coz I kind of found it hard to filter them accessory-wise. So in this look, I’m sort of committing this fashion faux pas and I’ll leave it up to you to decide whether it’s Yay or Nay! ;) Plus points though, if you’ve identified all three trends but I’ll simply break it down for you. :)

Newsboy cap. If it’s not yet obvious to you that I’m a hat lover, well then now you know. Lol. You’ve prolly seen this hat before in here but this topper was unexpectedly seen all over the street style stars during the fashion month. I can only be glad to dust it off from my drawer.

Statement Earrings. Sculptural is actually more of the trend now when it comes to these jewelries but I am loving these simple oversized gold hoops simply because it’s easy to be paired with anything.

Heel Sock Boots. Fall means it’s boots season and this one is a new style that was so hard to resist. Just the way they hug your ankles is so sexy. Style tip? Just like socks that need to be shown off, this is best worn with skirts or dresses. If worn with jeans, best to cuff it to show off the sock part. :)

Fashion Faux Pas

"A fashion faux pas is what happens when you're not confident with yourself."

Faux pas. A social blunder. In fashion, it is usually characterized by a cringing effect upon others when they see you. E-baydeals blog produced a list of the most common fashion blunder that men and women make based on a survey of 1000 people. I found the result rather interesting because I’m guilty in most of them so I thought I’d share it here. Haha!

So, according to the survey for women the top offenders in fashion are the following arranged in order:

1. Too much animal print.

2. Visible bra straps

3. Too tight clothing

4. Evening wear during the day

5. Tracksuits

6. Childish footwear

7. Scrunchies

8. Denim on denim

To be honest, I'm not in total agreement with everything in the list. I've seen most of them work in a lot of situations but not really totally defending myself in the gallery below. I'll just blurb a bit on the gallery below. But if there's anything that's seriously missing in that list? Crocs! Uuugh. I've never felt so strongly against anything like that in my life. 

Animal print. I'd say as I captioned this post last year, "too much leopard won't kill you." Haha, seriously. I think I've blabbed too much about this here. Check out another leopard action in there. ;)

Sunnies: Ray Ban; Bag: Jose 

Tracksuit. According to the same post, tracksuits become acceptable only when worn in the gym. But I did wear this to go to the gym. Haha. Does that excuse me? :P

Vest/ Top/ Pants/ Bag: Unbranded; Shoes: Melissa

Denim on Denim. I seriously think that this is a cool trend. Crocs should replace it at the bottom of the list. Hahaha!!! And by the way, this is a J-Lo inspired outfit. Haha!

Top: Unbranded; Pants: Forever21; Shoes: Marks & Spencer; Sunnies: Mango

I think I still can produce photos for each category in the list but I don't like long posts so this would do for now. In my opinion though, if you ever you find yourself in a fashion faux pas situation, just hold your head high and smile brightly. After all, to rephrase the quote above, fashion faux pas happens when you don't carry yourself confidently. *wink*
