Ever experienced a stain on your blouse during a client lunch or an unsightly deodorant streak across your little black dress? There are varied fashion faux pas that women can come across, but a little craftiness can help you escape fashion blunder embarrassment.
To help avoid those little ‘oops’ moments, here are some “quick-fix” tips to solve even the worst of fashion emergencies:
Food on your clothes:
There is nothing worse than throwing your lunch down your dress, but you’re not alone. Over half of women have left the house with a stain on their clothes without realising. Eat your treats with confidence, safe in the knowledge that you have emergency wipes and tissues for a speedy clean-up. Use a moist wipe to quickly cleanse the area, using water to rinse as necessary. Use a tissue to soak up any additional liquid and leave to air-dry.
Lipstick on your teeth:
Food, lipstick, red wine stains, teeth are a continuous source of potential embarrassment. Stealing a quick peek in a pocket mirror after eating, drinking or when applying lipstick will ensure your smile remains dazzling all night long.
Ladder in your tights:
Clear nail polish can be a real life-saver when it comes to keeping a hole in your tights from getting bigger and bigger. To prevent a small ladder becoming a stairway to heaven, dab a little polish on either end of the run to keep it firmly in place.
Scuff in your shoes:
If you’re part of the 38 percent of women who have got their heel stuck in a grate or pavement, carrying a small tin of petroleum jelly could help rescue your shoes. Rubbing your shoes with a little bit of jelly will fix up patent leather shoes in a flash and make them shine like new.
