Wearing too much animal print

Wearing mom jeans

Not embracing new trends

Buying clothes that don't excite you
- It's okay to dress appropriately for your age (whatever that means), but you must also be able to have a bit of fun and own pieces you're genuinely excited to wear. Otherwise, what's the point? Sources: (It's Rosy)
