• “Don’t overdo the piercings”. Unless you’re a rock star you can’t get away with too many piercings. My rebellion: Thanks again to my Mum who told me to take the spontaneous post-school celebrations upper ear piercing out straight away. I would have regretted it a few weeks later and I knew she was right in asking me to remove it immediately. I told you I do have some old-fashioned, classic ideas and I thank my Mum for them.
• “Don’t wear PJs outside”. My rebellion: I know the feeling when you just want to pop down to the shops. But remember the times you’ve bumped into someone you know and felt awful standing there in your PJs. Or worse, your ex-boyfriend and you want to show him how much better off you are without him. Think of that as you shrug into a crop top, singlet and jeans.
• “Don’t over bedazzle”. A little sparkle goes a long way. Don’t wear it head to toe. My rebellion: But there are moments where we can’t resist a good lot of sparkle, isn’t there? I keep those dresses / tops for a party or special occasion and work it like it’s the most natural thing ever.
• “Do wear clothes that fit”. Get them tailored or resist the temptation to buy the item in the first place.
• “Don’t give anyone a peek at your g-string”. Even if it’s got diamonds on it.
• “Don’t dress to young”. Age appropriate, classic pieces can be modernised with an accessory or hair style.
• “Don’t let everyone see your Visible Panty Line”. Sooo many underwear options out there!
