Yes!

I think so many of you ladies are being too harsh on yourselves! I am CONSTANTLY seeing skinny jeans look good on EVERY body type. I think its about finding the right pair.

As for me, I just do not do flip flops.

anything skin tight. i'm in good shape but i don't feel comfortable showing every nook and cranny on my bod to the world :)

One-shoulder tops/dresses. I HATE those things. Nobody can pull that off. It's completely tacky in itself.

So true! I think every woman can rock a pair of skinny jeans. All skinny jeans cut differently and it's simply finding a pair that will look good and be comfortable in at the same time!

^^ See that is my problem. Most of the skinny jeans are too constricting and I really do have very wide hips. It makes it very difficult to find a pair. I have yet to find one that fits.

Laurayuki can wear a one shoulder dress and look fabulous. Have you seen her latest outfit? The Alice Temperly dress. It is beautfiul on her. I think that one shoulder dresses are an acquired taste. I'm not a big fan of them either, but certain people (and I mean a very few) can wear it and look good. It also depends on the style of the dress overall.

Other than that... halter-style tops, knee high boots (muscular calves), baggy jeans, and flare jeans (I'm short and I think it's just too much fabric!)

What brand skinny jeans are you buying? I have tried a few pairs and they have not worked for me at all.

Jeneen · Jul 6th, 2009, 09:55 AM

Maxi dresses
Puffy-capped sleeves
The combination of jeans/pant with a tight fitted top (I'm a bit overweight right now!)

plumaplomb · Jul 6th, 2009, 11:25 AM

Strapless... I look all right in them, but I think I look better in something with cap sleeves, or a halter.

Can't wear skinny jeans..... they're just too hot and constricting!!

High heels -- I love drooling over them. I own many pairs of them. I'll slip them on at work to look nicer for meetings and such. But when I go out, I'm usually in low heels or flats.

Cropped jackets and shrugs -- I can't even bear to try them on. They just look so ridiculous on the hanger.

Flip flops -- shower, beach, or NO!!

Smocks. Anything smocked. I'll wear that stuff when I'm pregnant. Looks cute on some people but makes me look like I'm hiding a huge waistline.

ckie · Jul 6th, 2009, 07:31 PM

skinny jeans and mini skirts :(
yup i've got the thunder thighs

ColdSteel · Jul 6th, 2009, 07:50 PM

Shift dresses or babydoll dresses. I have a big chest and tiny waist. Babydolls make me look pregnant or like I stuffed socks into my top. Shift dresses tend to make me look either anorexic (skinny arms and wrists) or pregnant depending on which way the wind is blowing.
I really love the look of shift dresses. I have a couple with a teeny bit of structure, but the ones that are just plain shift-shaped look terrible on me.

I love skinny jeans but certain brands or fabric contents won't let me put them on over my calves!

True Religion · Jul 6th, 2009, 08:35 PM

I can't wear:
Button-up shirts
Turtlenecks
Fitted sweaters - they are always too tight in the wrong places
Shirt dresses, sweater dresses or tight dresses for the same reason as above
Fitted pants of any material, except for forgiving denim. They always seem to make my legs look like sausages... I can only wear wide-legged dress pants.
Any clothes with a line across the bust.
Most halter tops or tube tops - but I try to anyway!
Cropped shirts or sweaters
Vests
most graphic t-shirts - they don't fit right and I don't like the style

frenchtoast · Jul 6th, 2009, 08:52 PM

Anything strapless, maxi dresses (unfortunatly!! I've tried and tried to make them work), and anything with a line right above the bust ick looks awful on me, any type of tee-shirt, puffy sleeves, cap sleeves
