Fashion Dilemmas

Going overboard on outfits is one of my biggest fears that I constantly try to avoid at all costs.
We all want to wear the perfect blend of the hot apparel, the amazing shoes and the right amount of accessories. But how much is too much?
Sometimes you can just depend on a cute dress and the perfect compatiable shoes to seal the deal, but accessories are always where I get stumped. You don't want to look too overdone by piling on necklaces, bracelets, rings and headbands or people will start looking at you as if you had two heads, but really their thinking, that girl is on crack.
Guys have it easy in this area too. When getting ready for the day or going out at night, their biggest question is probably going to be, what cologne should I wear (if they have more than one) or belt or no belt? Not exactly a test to figure out their I.Q. and they most likely will not be put under the microscope as much as women are unless they pick a really bad cologne.
The KISS method is what I like to use as my reference so I never go overboard with my outfit choices or another easy solution is going to your girlfriends or boyfriend for their opinion.
What about certain occasions though? You want to look effortlessly fashionable, but not too fashionably inappropriate that it just doesn't coordinate with the occasion.
Job interviews for example. Some jobs are obvious for how you should appear to the employers if you want to get hired, but others are up in the air. I have a job interview with a jean store, but I can't figure out if I should go very classic business, like a straight work pant, or go in nice jeans that I bought from the store and balance it out with a nice top and accessories.
I think, in situations where you're left in fashion limbo like mine, you can go right in between. Although it's a jean store, it's still a trendy and recognized store that I would need to look visually appealing for. I casual yet cute dress with a headband or a necklace would look very nice without being overdone aka effortlessly fashionable.
