Hey Everyone, Girl Overload Here.

Fashion. Love it or hate it, for countless decades fashion continues to take over the world by complete and utter storm.

Here my personal current do’s and don’ts with fashion.

Do: Wear what makes you comfortable and what you want to wear. Don’t dress to impress others: dress to impress yourself. After all, the people who you think may mock your outfits won’t be around in two, five, ten years down the road, will they?

Don’t: Wear cheetah print. I know, I know, I may sound a little hypocritical with what I just wrote before. But just remember, cheetah print belongs on animals, not on human skin.

Do: Wear stripes. Stripes are very in vogue currently. This particular pattern was also very chic during the fifties and sixties, with Audrey Hepburn being the most notable starlet to don the pattern.

Don’t: Give in to fast fashion. Yes, fast fashion may be all the rage right now, especially with teenagers (and I am one, so I should know) but fast fashion is pretty tacky and wears out over time. Purchase good quality, long lasting pieces instead, that you know will be still worn by people many years to come. And yet again, people, may laugh at you, but dress to impress yourself, not others.

Do: Wear florals. Ah, yet again, another timeless piece. Florals have been in vogue for almost every decade now (except maybe the 80’s) and a classic, traditional, yet still stylish pattern that suits almost everyone.

Do: Read fashion magazines for inspiration. Read new ones straight off the supermarket shelves and also flick through some of your mum’s old magazines too. You may find some hidden gems in there.

Signing out,
