5 Outfit Mistakes That Will Make You Look Messy

You're all ready for that job interview, date, or presentation—but if you're making any of these mistakes, you're not going to make a great first impression.

Here's how to avoid some simple mistakes:


Too Many Accessories


I'm really not sure why women think adding a ton of mixed bracelets and mulitple necklaces plus a scarf, hat and statement belt make for a cute look?
 By keeping your accessories to a minimium and wearing a simple necklace or a delicate ring appears feminine and polished. Too many gives the impression that you're trying too hard.

It was Coco Chanel who once said something along the lines of, “Before you leave the house, look in the mirror and remove one accessory.”




Not Cleaning Your Shoes

Ok, ok sometimes its hard to have perfectly clean shoes especially during the winter time with salt and snow. However its a simple fix, keep a shine sponge in your car, bag and home, that way you are always prepared. I mean how many times have you glanced down at a persons shoes? 





Missing a Belt Loop 

I know this seems a little petty but missing a belt loop simply looks messy. Paying attention to small details make a difference.


For Guys: Unkempt Facial Hair
Guys just because the trend is to grow a beard please note you do actually have to maintain your beard. Make sure your beard is neat and trimmed often, looking like you just came from a cave isnt attractive.



Wearing Athletic Shoes in Non-athletic Situation

Now this is a complete no no! Please please I beg you, do not under any circumstances wear running shoes out to a bar no matter how casual the bar! Unless you are at the gym / trail / park or woods those are the only appropriate places to be worn.

If you are running errands at least pair them with work out pants.  It's kinda like wearing a dress and throwing over a hoodie as a jacket?! Would you do that? NOOOO!

I kept this short and sweet with a couple of my personal no no's! Now you have the basics covered I'll post more tips here and there so stay connected and make sure you are following me on my social media for behind the scenes / news and updates!
