Fashion is my 'Frenemy'

Red high heels do very little for her reputation

Fashion is my life. But don't take it for granted. One day, your outfit can be your best friend. The next day, it can be your worst enemy. Or worse yet, your frenemy.

So you could call me and fashion 'frenemies.' As long as she doesn't bite me in the butt, I am good.

Be kind to fashion. Fashion is like a cat. If you pet it softly, it purrs. But if you start to poke on its tummy, it will claw you.

Here is how you and fashion can be best friends, because you really don't want to be frenemies. That would be like watching the movie Mean Girls over a million times. I know, it never gets old, right?

The only good thing about a frenemy is that she will not leave you alone. She needs your money, she wants you to buy her another fashion accessory. She'll be there to bail you out, then make fun of you.

Don't Let Fashion Share Your Secret, Gold-Digger

Wrong. If fashion tells the world you are a gold-digger, than it has shared your secret with the world. That's right. Fashion has gossiped about you to that man you were wanting to date. Instead of coming off like a gold-digger, perhaps you should add a nice leopard print faux fur. I don't advocate real furs, but faux furs are a woman's best friend.

Now, always accessorize with a small purse. One you can carry in the palm of your hand. Black goes with anything. Don't pick out that gaudy one with the bedazzler beads on it. Tacky!

Ladies, please wear the right shoes. If you wear those ruby red slippers, you will look like Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz. I warned you. It doesn't do anything for your fashion.

There is one eBay store that I would recommend for all of your fashion needs. Go here now and get your fashion on.

Rules of Fashion: How to Avoid the Paparazzi and Look Good Doing It

Man and woman fashion couple

Hi. I am Jean Carlo. I am French and I am a clothier. Fashion and the clothes you wear says a lot about you. Learn some easy rules of fashion here.

10 Tips From Jean Carlo's Rules of Fashion:

1. Never wear socks with sandals or flip flops.
2. Never try to go against the grain by "starting a new trend" - this will hurt your fashion reputation.
3. Never wear a tie with a polo shirt.
4. Get fashionable outfits that fit true to your size.
5. Have suits and dress slacks altered if you change in size.
6. It is better to have one great looking outfit than 20 tacky ones.
7. Belt buckles should be aligned with ties.
8. Never wear holes in jeans (this is tacky).
9. You can buy inexpensive pieces that look luxurious and expensive.
10. Never wear a tie and a shirt that are the same color (this defeats the purpose of a tie).

These are just 10 of my fashion rules. I have many, many fashion rules, and I will share them all with you over time.

Now, please check out this fabulous ebay storefront to get some fashionable items at reasonable prices.

Paparazzi Troubles? Not if you Follow My Fashion Rules

If you find that you have committed the ultimate fashion faux pas, it can be easily corrected. Knowing the rules is the key to staying out of fashion trouble with the fashion police (being the paparazzi). If you are not being chased by the paparazzi, count yourself lucky.

If you want to be "fashion forward," as described by Heidi Klum of Project Runway, then be sure to check with your trusted fashion expert before going out in public with a new look.

I would be honored if you entrust me as your fashion advisor.

Sincerely,

Jean Carlo
