Brooklyn Decker gives you something to think about the next time you put on a too skimpy outfit

When the model with the body of death shows some modesty, should not the scantily clad bimbettes take note? Guess what folks? Brooklyn Decker does NOT bare all at the Guys Choice Awards. This post is for the babes out there who have a penchant for strutting around with their girls spilling out while wearing skirts so short that they need a bikini wax rather than a leg wax. Not to forget that their bodycon dresses are two sizes too small and they are wearing skyscraper heels that can't even walk in, let alone balance. Sorry sweets, you look cheap! Maybe even like a reject fresh off a screechy reality show casting call... it's not chic, it's not classy.

I'll Have What She's Having: A Riccardo Tisci for Givenchy harem jumpsuit If there had to be one major investment trend piece for my wardrobe this season, I would be hard-pressed not to consider the drop-crotch, harem jumpsuit by Riccardo Tisci for Givenchy that Juliette Binoche absolutely rocked in Cannes this week. Drop crotch, harem pants are by far a hard look to pull off but she did so flawlessly.

But when worn right, the look is amazing! Givenchy 'Jersey' sandals from mytheresa >> READ: How to wear a jumpsuit like Padma

Robert Clergerie 'Arco' Espadrille at Nordstrom

How to find a flattering shoe with a bit of 'lift' when you are a flats devotee. Hey Sharon-- love your piece on the best platform shoes of the season.
