2) YOUR BAG SHOULD MATCH YOUR SHOES – gone are those days when your bag and shoes had to match. This is the era of mixing and matching. So play around, have fun and wear bag and shoes that are coordinated but not match-matchy.
4) SEQUIN AND SPARKLES ARE FOR NIGHT ONLY– helloooo….. if you haven’t worn daytime-sparkles, then you definitely need to right-away. One: cuz it is the holiday seasons and two: cuz there is nothing more fun and badass than wearing sparkles during the day. It is like a relief to sore-eyes, that normally would see either black or blue or brown during the day. Of course going overboard and looking like a disco ball is still off-limits, but a little here and a little there, hurt no one.
5) NO STOCKING OR SOCKS WITH OPEN-TOE SHOES– give me a break chicas !!! If you know me well, you might be aware of my obsession with socks and sandals. I have always felt encouraged to try out new trends and socks with open-toe sandals was definitely one of my favorite. Not only does it keep you warm but also elevates the style-quotient. So don’t be shy, once you try this trend, you will go head-over-heels…..

I love your outfit! Black and navy are always so chic and classy together. I have been wearing that color combination for decades. I love how you busted all 5 of these myths. I am totally a socks/stockings and sandals kind of girl myself!
