Four Things In Your Wardrobe That Should Never Leave The House!

From Do's To Shoes Styling knows that every closet has it's skeletons, and some times this can mean hanging on to a few faux pas items that probably should have been given away when your read our blog on closet cleaning parts one and two. We understand that some articles of clothing are special, or simply too comfortable to get rid of; but with that said, there is a line that must be drawn of what is appropriate to wear in public!

Number one on our list of fashion don't list is slippers. Though Snooky on Jersey Shore rocks her slippers in the sunlight, we think it is important to point out that she is no role model - fashion or otherwise! Slippers (or any version of shoe that feels comfortable but looks like small rodents have nested within them) must remain an in-house item. As comfortable as they may be, unless you are willing to don such nicknames as "crazy person" or "bum", please slip 'em off at the front door.

The second thing on our From Do's To Shoes Styling don't list is your college/university sweatshirt. Unless you are off to a sporting event where your school is competing, living on campus, or going to your own sports competition, your sloppy hoody [that still smells like beer from that time you did a keg stand and it got all over you] should be at home. If you want to support your school, donate, get a bumper sticker, or blog about it. But for goodness sakes, leave your fabulous wardrobe out of it!

Coming in third place on our don't list is Crocs. It doesn't matter how comfortable they are, they will always scream "please don't ever, ever sleep with me!" as loud as possible. This gets only more true when you have those little ice cream cones or bugs jammed in the stupid holes they put on the top. They are ugly, they match nothing, they look adolescent, and they are impractical. While they may be immensely fabulous to walk around the house or garden in, From Do's To Shoes Styling can assure you that in public, people don't care that they are comfy, they only get turned off by the bad taste.  This type of footwear is a house hold item only!

The fourth and final don't on our list is sweatpants. Now this is kind of tricky, because there is such a thing as a fashionable sweat pant, and we give you full authorization to sport those sweats in any setting that isn't the work place or a gala of sorts. However, those sweats that have holes (our biggest pet peeve), fit six sizes too big, are torn at the hem on the bottom, or look like they have been around for 13 years; those are home pants. From Do's To Shoes Styling fully appreciates the value of feeling comfy in a good baggy sweat pant. We just ask that you enjoy that feeling at home.

Though we could go on and on with the many fashion flaws people have, From Do's To Shoes Styling would like to put out the word that these four items top the list. So the next time you go to wear these items out in public, remember...

Stay Chic,
