Fashion Faux Pas's - On The Lighter Side

Many of us are quite confused about how we should present ourselves.

These tips are targeted to those "Old Folks" (over 40, WAY over 40 or hovering near 40).

Younger generation also beware!

We're all unsure about the kind of image that we are projecting and whether or not we are correct as we try to conform to current fashions. Despite what you may have seen on the streets and media, the following combinations DO NOT go together and should be avoided.

• A nose ring and bifocals
• Spiked hair and bald spots
• A pierced tongue and dentures
• Miniskirts and support hose or knee-highs
• Ankle bracelets and corn pad
• Speedo bathing suit and cellulite
• A belly button ring and a gall-bladder surgery or c-section scar
• Unbuttoned disco shirts and a heart monitor
• Mid-drift shirt and mid-drift bulge
• Bikinis and liver spots
• Short shorts and varicose veins
• In-line skates and a walker
• Thongs and depends

Please keep these basic guidelines foremost in your mind when you dress.
