That's a fashion no-no !!!
Alicia There are several factors to take into consideration when you are buying clothes. One thing to think about is your lifestyle.
Jade In my case, I go for comfort. I like to wear lightweight jerseys in soft pastels. And since I spend a lot of time doing housework, my favorite outfit is my baggy pink sweat suit.
Alicia I suggest you stay away from any kind of sportswear -- that's a fashion no-no. Your clothes should reflect your true personality.
Jade Well, that's the thing. I'm not up on the latest fashions, but I'd like a big change.
Alicia Faux fur is in now. Why don't you slip on this imitation cheetah tunic top with these black satin pants ? I think you'd look good in this.
Jade Okay. But let me tell you, I have my doubts about this .. well, what do you think ?
Alicia Very flattering ! It's definitely you !
Explanation :
