12. FASHION DOS AND DONT?

1.      This is quite a broad topic because fashion rules change overnight and the do’s become don’ts while the don’ts become do’s. But my basics are:

Always dress your body type and shape, you can never go wrong in that

Ladies,There is a fine line between sexy and trashy. Looking sexy involves what to bare and what to keep under wraps. Keep a little mystery and choose one body part and show it off.

Dudes, enough with saggy jeans and showing off your boxers thats just plain tacky

Find your own sense of style and you do not have to copy someone else, what looks good in another may not look good on you.

13. any fashion advice?

Its not what you wear but how you wear it.
Dress for the occasion, the right outfits for the right events

Invest in staple, classic pieces that can be worn countless ways, and remade to different outfits
