I often blog about huge fashion mistakes I see out in the world. But I have a list of things that really get under my skin on a continual basis. If you’re guilty of any of these offenses, I suggest you think long and hard about your behavior…then go shopping for the right fashion fix.
1. Visible Panty Line (VPL)
If your underwear is showing through your pants, if they seem to make a rift in your butt cheeks, then, my friend, it’s time for some new panties that actually fit. Or, you could buy a more suitable style for the outfit you’re wearing. Don’t wear chunky, cotton underwear with dress pants. Don’t wear a super-tight thong with a tight dress. Wear the appropriate undergarments for every outfit and occasion. And if you don’t, I’ll judge you.

(Nothing is more attractive that a pair of granny panties that you can actually see through khakis.)
2. Muffin Top
If you have muffin top, chances are your clothes don’t fit. Here’s an idea: buy some that do. The best way for any woman to draw attention to her weight (be she big or small) is to wear clothing that doesn’t fit her correctly. Invest in clothing that fits your unique body properly instead of getting caught up on wearing a particular size. If you’re trying to look slimmer, smaller clothes will only do the opposite. There’s really nothing more unflattering than muffin top.

(No. No. No. No. No. Why are you doing this to yourself? Does that extra pudge feel good catching a breeze?)
3. Drawn-on Eyebrows
Your eyebrows help frame your face. They look weird when they’re not there...or when they’re constantly affixed in a surprised state…or when you’ve drawn them on with a pencil that looks a little wobbly and doesn’t quite match up to your hair color. Instead of plucking, see a trained aesthetician to help you find the right shape and thickness for you—there’s a real art to getting the right brows.

(I guess if you wanted too look like you were saying "EEEEK!" all the time this could be a good look for you.)
4. Fake Stuff Galore
Think of how mad you’d be if you came up with a million dollar idea only to have someone copy the idea and produce it with cheaper, uglier materials at half the price. Now you know how all your friends at Coach, Burberry, Louis Vuitton and Prada feel. Enough with the fake purses already, ladies—everyone you’re trying to impress knows they aren’t real. I can sniff out a fake from a mile away. Plus, at the end of the day, there’s been oodles of investigations done on the production of counterfeit goods that conclude they’re produced in sweat-shop conditions and that the profits fund unethical behavior like drug and human trafficking. Be classy. Save your money and buy the real deal. One well-tailored designer piece will look better than 100 badly, constructed, fake leather “Prada” purses.

(This purse is clearly not a Coach bag. If you think so, then you don't deserve to carry a Coach bag.)
5. Bad Jeans
Every time someone asks me to help them revamp their closet and wardrobe, I start with jeans. That’s because jeans can be dressy, they can be casual and they can be work appropriate. News flash: they can also be just plain ugly. There are still throngs of hideous jeans ruining the bodies of women that could otherwise look very presentable. Find the right fit of jeans for you—ditch the high waist and lose the tapered leg. You’ll look and feel much better.

(It doesn't have to be this way. Underneath those jeans there's actually a decent figure waiting to be found.)
6. Midriff Baring Tops
Whenever I see someone wearing a belly-baring top and I’m not at Yoga or celebrating Halloween I get a little uneasy. I don’t care if you have rock hard abs of steel, midriff baring tops make people uncomfortable. Showing that much skin is just wrong.

(Part time job at the strip club? With a shirt like this, I'm a shoe in!)
