10 Things You Shouldn't Wear (If you want to be stylish)

The following things, are things that you shouldn't wear, if you want to be stylish (not fashionable).
Why stylish and not fashionable?
Stylish, means what your wearing looks good, is "in", and can be (but doesn't have to be) fashionable.
Fashionable, means art, could be in, could be stylish, and could look good.
Of course, all of these things have exceptions, but, if you are trying to play it safe, here are a few things to stay away from. However, if you are a fashion (and style) experimenter, and/or have a good sense of style, and/or know a lot about fashion, or don't care about how you look, than you can, and possibly should, try these things, if you have not already.
The list:
You shouldn't wear (unless you are a fashion (and style) experimenter, and/or-
blah blah blah, and my whole shabang):
  1. Shorts with long sleeve shirts.
  2. Hat and a headband.
  3. Pants and leg warmers.
  4. Sweatpants and flip-flops.
  5. Red and green (unless it is Christmas).
  6. Black and orange (unless it is Halloween, but really, not even if it is Halloween).
  7. Long sleeve dresses.
  8. Knee highs over pants (however, really cute, if worn correctly).
  9. Basketball shorts and a tucked in t-shirt.
  10. High heels, if you don't know how to walk in them

Style by Uniform

I wear a school uniform. Tucked in polo, belt, plaid skirt, black pants, black shorts, white socks. All week. That gives me two days to wear whatever I want (pretty much). The strange thing is, I notice myself continuing to wear some of the same things that I wear all week. More black and more white. Tucking in my shirt. Wearing more polos. Wearing more plaid. Wearing more skirts.
Personal style is like a uniform. It's what you wear. You have rules about what you will wear (For example, no 6 inch heels, no school bus yellow, etc.), some people don't have many rules, and others have millions of them. Sometimes, on certain days of the week you dress differently (For example, casual friday), same with a uniform (at some schools). Whether your personal style, your uniform, is strict or not, simple or complicated, fashionable or not, you decide. With a school uniform, you don't get to decide very much, thats one difference.
REMEMBER TO VOTE! CHANEL OR DOLCE & GABBANA?
