rules for little girls

i've seen some unimaginable horror in my not-so-considerable-but-still-long-enough lifetime...i've done some of them, i'm sorry to say, and will probably do it again in the future....but there are some rules that ALL girls must adhere to...i mean ALL girls....i'm talking about fashion faux-pas...with exception of marilyn manson, lady gaga, bjork, aliens and pampered hollywood poodles, ALL girls must follow these fashion guideline...this guide is so basic, i'm not telling you how to dress, just how not to dress horribly that you look like you are from outer space or you had 7 gallons of tequila before you dress this morning...the rules are:

always stick to 3 colours at one time...more than 3 colours are permitted on certain occasions but that is another story all together...

never wear too much print eg leopard, jungle, tiger, stripes, flowers...this means no matching pantsuit, all made from red and white polka dots...that was never accepted in the 80's and will never be accepted now...accept that...the only acceptable occasions for full print from top to bottom are summer dresses or any dresses (usually flowers or some geometric designs) or masquerade or some sort...

never ever ever wear matching colours from top to bottom...like all read from your top, to your skirt, to your bags and shoes...you will look like a walking red colour palette...again, this is only permitted for some who can carry the look....

wear minimal jewelry...wear either bangles or bracelet or necklace or earrings or ring at one time...2 is acceptable, depending on the size of each accessory and other accessories such as brooches, bags, shoes and shawls...remember, less is more...

make-up...this is a sensitive subject...too much of it may project the poopie-the-clown look...focus on one aspect of your face, say your eyes or your lips and go all out at that section...heavy make-up is for night time while light or natural make-up is for daytime...never put too much blusher on your cheeks and always put some blusher on your forehead, nose and around your mouth to even out the pinkness of your blusher...if you want to make your eyes look bigger, use eyeliner, but, remember to practice wearing it first!...always always put on moisturizer and foundation before putting on make up and clean your face thoroughly with milk base facial cleanser before you go to sleep...this subject is a topic by itself, so let's leave it at that...

and lastly and most essential: be confident!...it's all the way you carry your look that carries the day, not the clothes...remember: it's you who make the clothes, not the other way round...if you are confident, no matter how crazy you dress, you will always look acceptable and unique...

if you follow these basic rules, you can never go wrong, or at least look wrong!...if not, c'est la vie!...wear whatever you want and make merry!...it's your life, after it's all over and done with ;-P
