Can we have a "Summer style mistakes to avoid" thread?

A rhetorical question, in fact, as I have now started one.

My observations from 3 days of summer weather:

  1. Change your handbag. Saw woman in v lightweight summery outfit with clunky great across the body black leather handbag.
  1. Unkempt toenails - should go without saying but sandals and toenails au naturel look a bit grim if you are over about 8.
  1. Buy clothes that fit - hell, buy the next size up. Tight summer-y clothes which pinch a bit and make you feel - and therefore look - all hot and bothered are not a good look.

That's it so far, but I might make a perambulation of the office and come back with some more...

Cripes I am scared to go out now in fear of being arrested by summer fashion police! For having crabby feet, unwieldy hair, the wrong kind of sandals etc. etc. etc.

In my defence can I just say it is very difficult to dress just right all the time when pregnant, and I am likely only to be going to the local shop or playgroup anyway.

I will come quietly if I can go for a spell of rehab at Monsoon
