Tell me what the worst fashion crimes are!
Bit of background as to my question: After 5 years living life as a slummy mummy (think jeans, a jumper, scratched boots and cheap supermarket hooded coat), I've decided it's high time I at least made an effort to be a bit more of a yummy mummy. I am still only 35 so think I could still wear some "younger" fashions.
The problem is, I have not got the best idea of what's in fashion. Have just got out of the habit of clothes shopping for myself, and haven't had money to spend on fashion mags up to now. My worst problem is that I have up to now bought things with a whingeing toddler in tow and ended up buying something out of desperation and never worn it again as I've soon realised I've just got it all wrong and it wasn't at all fashionable, and made me look either ridiculous or frumpy.
What are the top mistakes I could make? eg is it terrible to carry a black bag when you're wearing brown boots. Should you wear a long coat if you have a long tunic top/jumper on? Does a certain style of top scream "frumpy"? etc etc. You know the type of thing.......basically the type of fashion error that you might see on a woman in her mid 30s that make you snigger behind your hand and want to run up and accost her a la Trinny & Susannah?
