Out: The whole "noticeable lip liner" look. Dark lip liner with much lighter lipstick so that it looks like the wearer was trying to show her little preschooler how to color. "Look Jimmy, sweetie, this is how you stay in the lines. See how Mommy does it so well?" If lip liner was meant to be noticeable, it would be available to buy in the color black.
Out: Plucking your eyebrows, plucking your eyebrows, plucking your eyebrows, plucking your eyebrows, and more plucking your eyebrows. It's okay to do it, just please have some self control and stop before you only have 4 hairs left. Also, I have seen many people with eyebrows in the oddest shapes, ridiculously high-arched "C" shapes, flat all the way across the eye until the inner corner where they dip down in an "L" shape, and (no I'm not making this up) an "S" shape. (I wonder, how is that even possible?) Eyebrows are supposed to have a natural arch, leave the alphabet for your cereal.
Out: Thongs that purposefully stick out over the top of your pants. You might as well just scribble "I'm easy" on your forehead. Hmmm... maybe you could write it with the dark lip liner you had to retire after reading my first rule... just an idea.
Out: I'm going to apologize in advance if you wear these because I know some people who do (including my own mother sometimes). Ankle-length jean skirts. They are so unflattering, no matter who is wearing them. Period.
Out: Skirts with sneakers. If you're trying to say "I'm cute and stylish, but I can be sporty too" I get it, ok, i get it. But you still look ridiculous.
Out: Clogs with socks that are showing. Clogs with socks=sure, why not? But if you are wearing a skirt, shorts, capris, or some other bottom that would cause the sock to be noticeable (basically anything but pants)... just please take off the socks so we don't have to see that they are Hanes or that you have not washed them lately. Socks are ugly, no one wants to see them, ever.
Out: Again, I apologize if you are guilty of this fashion offence. Running sneakers with jeans. When I say running sneakers, I am talking about those lightweight, streamlined sneakers with grip and (sometimes) shocks. See below for a picture of them. Anyway, in my opinion, these kind of sneakers should only be worn with a sporty bottom, like sweatpants or those Soffe shorts that every girl owns a pair of. When worn with jeans, they just look stupid. *Disclaimer: not all sneakers look bad with jeans. Cute, fashion ones are perfectly okay, just don't wear any that you would also wear for a track meet.
