Over the years, I’ve heard of so many fashion rules of how to wear or how not to wear this item or that item.   In breaking these rules, you’d garner a look that let you know that you’ve stepped out of fashion bounds and you have to step back in.  For me, I don’t really have many rules.  The only rule I’d adhere to is that the items I’m wearing look good on me and my body shape.  Other than that,  I don’t really pay attention to “You shouldn’t wear color with this color” or “You can’t wear this color after this holiday.”

I think one of the biggest unspoken rules I’ve broken is wearing flat shoes with dresses.  Especially dresses that are made for heels.   And I love heels.  I really do.  But I love my flats and sometimes, I love feeling comfortable as well.   I admit feeling a little  vindicated once I started seeing photos of Michelle Obama wearing flats and/or kitten heels to her much more important events:

I also used the wonderful Looklet.com to put together some other outfits that break some rules that I’ve heard of.

Wearing blue and black together in an outfit.

Wearing beige and black together.

Mixing Prints

Wearing boots in the summer

Should some of these rules be “enforced” or can they work given the person wears them right and with confidence?
