Things Our Mothers Taughts Us About Fashion: Ancient Wisdom (:

Nothing gives us bigger yuks than the fashion victims starting back at us from the old photos of ourselves at what we though was our most alluring. This month, share your fashion mentors and the advice they gave you. Go here right now and post your stuff! We want pictures AND the wisdom of Moms, wacky aunts and crazy teachers everywhere!!!

I thoroughly enjoy over-the-top bad taste. As long as it’s on others.

“Today’s trends are tomorrow’s belly laughs.” Mary Marino

Would you take hair tips from Snooky? How about fashion advice from Queen Elizabeth? Even the royal jewels don’t provide enough wattage to outshine some of those matronly pastel ensembles. Two divergent personalities. Two strong personal styles. Either or Neither could be an inspiration or an abomination

Which brings us back to what momma said all along: wear what suits you, always wear clean underwear and don’t dress like a street walker unless you’re walking the streets.

I own this vintage Moschino belt. It’s circa 1985. Isn’t it a hoot?

Deliciously Bad!

1.    Never be bullied into bad fashion choices. Whatever they are (to you).
2.    Never allow yourself to be a (fashion) victim. Take full responsibility!
3.    Do not accept anyone else’s definition of personal style: define your own.
4.    Don’t dress like you’re cleaning out the basement (unless you’re cleaning out the basement).
