Update on: How (NOT) to dress for a BBQ

Just yesterday, I made suggestions on how to dress for a pool party or a BBQ. Take a look at Amrita Arora's picture below - she seems to have followed my advice to a T - but with disastrous consequences. This is a great opportunity to show you how you can mess up style ideas.

My suggestions were:

Wear a maxi (in a solid color or in a light print) - She has maxi on alright but with an embellished neckline and a spectrum of color - What went wrong here - either have an embellished neckline OR a slew of colors - NOT BOTH.

Pile on kadas - sure she has done that, but she has used a kada as an arm band and some on her wrist. Either do an arm band or wear kadas, YOU CANNOT DO BOTH.

Wear metallic gladiator/sandals - two strap sandals are so 2005 - no matter which designer you wear. Ditch them please.

Additionally - she has done the following:

Maxi is too long - if you are going to team maxi with flats, have the dress end at your ankles.

Too much blush - very tarty

Red sunglasses - perched on red cheeks with a multi-colored maxi. Blinding effect. A solid black or tortoise shell pair would have been great.

Hair band/hair piece - too much going on. Keep it casual with a maxi - don't confuse your maxi for a gown.
