Post #4: A Few Unfashionable Tips from a Fashionable Blogger

As the weekend grows near and the leaves continue to fall far more quickly than they should, I thought I’d give you a few last Dos and Don’ts to get you through Fall Break.

DO: Stay in your pajamas all day. Whether you’re going home or staying at Colgate, take a break from everything…including standing in front of your closet choosing what you’re going to wear every morning.

DON’T: Always listen to what fashion magazines tell you. Just because Marie Claire’s September Issue claimed that “sweatshirts and jeans trimmed in leather or embellished with an array of beads and sequins” are “cocktail-appropriate”, does not mean that you should ever do it. When in doubt, dress more formally than you think you should.

DO: Watch the Devil Wears Prada and Gossip Girl…in your pajamas. Let watching gorgeous people in gorgeous clothing get you inspired for getting dressed in the weeks to come.

DON’T: Miss this blog so much that you don’t enjoy your Fall Break. The Mannequin will be back with a new post next week on a topic that is currently being left under wraps.
