The fashion world is filled with rule after rule. Just when you feel like you’re “in style,” the trends change and you have to start the process all over! You have to spend more money and more time, just to feel defeated and frustrated.

How do you keep from making mistakes or just throwing your hands up at fashion completely?

What do you think of these fashion mistakes? Would you add others to the list? Share in a comment.

  • Fashion Mistake #1: 80′s Jeans

We love jeans. Just not jeans from the 80′s—the high-waisted version with the big back pockets, sometimes referred to as ‘Mom Jeans.’  Update with something that flatters you and makes you feel pretty. (If you’ve ever worn a pair of these jeans and you want a quick laugh, check out this SNL clip about Mom Jeans here.)

  • Fashion Mistake #2: Spandex = Thin

Marcy, a bright, animated woman, makes a good point when she says that spandex does not equal looking thin, if you’re not thin. Leggings are a great fashion trend for a certain group of women. If you’re not in it, there are so many other possibilities!

  • Fashion Mistake #3: No accessories, makeup, or hairstyle

Too many women walk out the door without any makeup or jewelry, and their hair thrown back. The fashion industry does keep changing the rules, but what if you took the rules back and finished off your look in a way that makes you feel good?

  • Fashion Mistake #4: Wrong hair color

Sarah, our rich, dynamic panel member shares how platinum blonde on the wrong Type of beauty just does not work. Any Type will look aged and harsh if they choose a hair color that doesn’t work with their features.

In every case, there are exceptions to these fashion faux pas. So, how do you know what they are?

Make sure to watch the video above to see what our 4 Types Beauty Panel recommends doing about these mistakes.

    I understand what Janna is saying but Dressing Your Truth didn’t come up with the term ‘mom jeans.’

    Whoa, Janna!  Mom jeans?  This was not an insult to motherhood at all.  That reference is made to mothers who don’t take care of themselves and wear shabby looking clothes while their children and husband look pretty well taken care of.  Mom jeans is not a badge of honor – it is a reflection on a woman who doesn’t understand the example and trend she is setting for her children by indicating that a mom should look shabby and wear worn out clothes – no matter the generation.  Why are moms looked down on so much?  Because we don’t set the example of what mothers should look like – true to their natures, beautiful and proud to be a mom.  I am a mother of 7 children in 9 years and never once did I wear mom jeans – I wore jeans..and other clothes…because I wanted to be the kind of mother that my children would respect and that my girls would aspire to be – shoulder pads and all!!  
    You really should investigate this program – it would do wonders for your outlook on fashion and honor your desire to be the best mom you can be.  You will be one of those grandparents one day and be very glad that you represented motherhood as an honorable and beautiful opportunity and that you dressed in a manner befitting that responsibility – not mom jeans.
