Guilty as charged! Crimes of fashion!

Crimes of passion we'll discuss later!

Ok ladies (and gentlemen)...

As much as we might wish it differently, we are judged on how we look. You never know when you might run into your future boss, future husband, that cheerleader you hated in high school, or anyone else you would not want to look schleppy in front of. Avoid these crimes and you might have a fighting chance, and i won't send the beauty and fashion police after you!

1. The dreaded VPL. Nothing says "tacky, cheap, i don't time to look at my backside, i wear granny panties" than the dreaded Visible Panty Line. It is the worst. This crime might be more of a fashion faux pas, but I think it is the worst beauty crime you can commit. There are so many great options to avoid this, various thongs, the boy short, guaranteed "no show" panties (check Victoria's Secret), and my personal favorite - going commando!!!

2. Wearing white lingerie with white clothes. Nude and very light pink bra and panties are the only colors that won't show up under white clothes. White lingerie WILL show up under white clothes. Avoid it! Besides, unless its your wedding night, I would avoid white undergarments. They will always get dingy and you don't want your "unmentionables" turning gray like an old gym sock.

3. Wearing a non-seamless bra under a tight top. Bra seams are a definite no-no. Not cute.

Law of the Jolie Femme: Bra and panties must match! I don't care who will or won't see them.

And: When your lingerie is showing wear, toss it out! Bras are NOT meant to last forever, six months is about the average lifespan of bra worn a few times a week. Good lingerie is an investment, and well worth it, especially for those of us who ask a lot from our bras!

3. The mom jean! Oh the dreaded and horrid mom jean. You must throw these out immediately! Any jean with a short, tapered leg, a high waist is a mom jean. Nothing will make you look more dumpy than the mom jean.

4. The velour tracksuit. This ship has sailed, and should have never docked in the first place. Don't do it...I don't care if it says "Juicy" on it or is covered in LVs. Hideous! Tacky! Cheap!

5. The scuffed shoe. There are two ways to really show class when you dress...a great handbag and a great pair of shoes. A great shoe and handbag can turn a black tee and jeans into a beautiful ensemble (on-som-blay). A cheap shoe and handbag will kill the most expensive designer clothes.

Okay, go through your closet! I will adding to this list shortly.
