“Don't wear white after Labor Day”
“You can’t wear colors that clash”
"You shouldn't mix prints"
I’ve never been much of a rules girl when it comes to dressing (well, when it comes to most things for that matter...dating books make me want to take up arson, a la Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451). My basic dictum...rules are made to be broken (if you want to have any fun).
There is, however, one personal dressing rule that I do follow more often than not. And that is...either clothing or grooming can be a little disheveled but not both at the same time. So it's tousled hair with a with a fitted, slightly rigid, outfit. And if the clothes are a bit of a pick-and-mix, I bring out the blow dryer and make sure there's not a hair is out of place. It’s my Chaos Theory...trying to find order in disorder.
Which brings up the question...what are you personal rules for getting dressed?

For me, personally, there's also generally the rule "less is more", simply because simpler styles suit me better. And one thing I dread are chipped toenails. Urgh!!! So, to avoid those is a big rule for me, too. There are some girls who are able to rock the chipped fingernail look, but it's quite horrible how many examples of the other look you come across in summer.
