everything is not for everyone

[msportugal]

1.those nice lil ruffle tank tops with the spaghetti straps are not for everyone
2.tube tops are not for everyone
2b. those ribbed tube tops with the skirt around them that end around your butt (that make everyone look pregnant) are not for everyone especially if people mistake you for pregnant already and you are not
3. those slouch shirts that go super low in the front are not for everyone (tape your flap jacks)
4. white pants are not for everyone (especially if we can see your cottage cheese)
5. bare midriffs are not for everyone
6. open toe sandals are not for everyone
7. spandex outside of the gym, not for everyone
8. logos on every item you are wearing, not for everyone
9. pastel jerseys on men, not for everyone
10. tall marge simpson french rolls/phony ponies
11.stiletto shoes/boots (you know you have a bad back)
12.low rise jeans
13.visible thongs
14.shoulder pads
15.erased and then drawn on eyebrows
16.animal print
17.push up bras (get them tripple I's out of that wonder bra)
18.long shorts
19.daisy dukes
20.those pointy witch shoes (why are you putting on some shoes that add an extra 1-2 inches to those size 13's)
21.one trend on the top another trend on the bottom
22.pleated pants
23.micro minis
*don't get offended if you are an offender these are just my opinions

[cutebajangirl]

I totally agree. I am soooo careful about what styles I wear. I stayed away from the pointy toe shoes because I have big feet only to realize that because of how they are shaped I can wear 2 sizes smaller than I normally wear. :D

[msportugal]

it is really hard when you have larger feet, a friend of mine is 5'5 with size 11 feet she has to search high an low for nice shoes that aren't so expensive.

[bellydancer]

I'm an offender. :sekret: I'm a DD and I love my Frederick's push up bra. I don't wear it often but there are times when even ample twins want that little extra attention.

I'll add a few:

--going braless (if they hang, regardless of size, strap 'em up)
--ashy ankles and sandals (lotion, use it or step away from the sandals)
--silky straight weave when you have kinky hair (try to fool the people, dang)
--gold or platinum teeth (why oh why?)
--too tight clothes on thin women (buy the size 5, stop squeezing into the size 0)
--black eye liner used as lip liner (need I even say why)
--brushing down baby hair (if you're over 7 don't do it)
--don't do stilettos if you don't know how to walk in them
--wearing the wrong bra size. Don't squeeze D's into a B or C bra and don't put A's in a C bra. Deal with what you have. VS and Fred's do bra fittings for free.
--Jeans so tight they give you camel toe. :barf:

[msportugal]

deeda if it looks good go ahead i'm not mad
belly hee hee hee
tai i am an offender too i wear 40d maybe dd and i wear my wonder bra but only to the club or when i need extra support from a strapless bra!!

[Tai]

My push up from Fredericks only comes out when I'm wearing a good amount of cleavage or when I want the extra attention.

[msportugal]

you sound like me

[Leslie_C]

ITA, Im a D cup and was a DD at my biggest, those babies need some help sometimes too! Its not just the small breasted ladies that need a "pick me up" LOL
a good push up bra can work wonders, especially a strapless one...I refuse to wear maternity looking bras all the time! hahaha

maybe I dont have a true push up bra though, but I have a nice strapless one that lifts and separates so well that Im holding on to it for dear life even though its falling apart! Ive worn it all summer under tanks,etc. too bad I got it at Ross so it cant be replaced!

[msportugal]

don't you hate when you get something at Ross or Marshalls and you like it but can't get more. :mad: hey who made your bra i'm in the market for a good one, maybe they have and outlet here

Hollering @ #3,17 and 20

[msportugal]

:roflrofl::Roflrofl: EWWW! @ the last one!

[Leslie_C]

msportugal, I just figured out that great strapless bra I had thats on its last leg is a warners bra so Ill bet u could find it online or at a warners outlet. Im in orlando so Im going on the hunt. If I ever find it Im buying 3! Its the best strapless bra I ever had.

[msportugal]

ok warners strapless.

[sweetpineapple]

adding on...
hot pants are for no one, especially to the grocery store

[LEOLADYSW]

You guys are so right.

I have to be real careful with what I wear and how I wear it, because I am a larger lady.

I have found that the Leah Feldon book -- "Does this make me look fat", is the best book I have found [and I have read a lot of them] for advice on how to look your best, no matter what your size.

[blackhair]

Leo can you give me the 411 on the Leah Feldon's book. I need to order it in amazon. DId it help you a lot ?

[LEOLADYSW]

Oh yes. It is a great book. I try to follow the instructions and my look is vastly improved. I feel I look more slender, and elegant than I ever have before. I have read other books that were not nearly so helpful.

You can't do wrong to buy it. I would not be without it. Even slender ladies can benefit from what she has to say in this book.

[AnnDriena_]

I think a big no-no for many women is the trying to squeeze into smaller clothes because they think it makes them look even smaller, no matter what their size. It just makes you look larger. If you wear something in your size or one size bigger and it streamlined and well tailored it actually makes you look thinner.

[msportugal]

have you guys seen the "What not to wear" book that seems pretty good too

[alira]

-Blue Eye Shadow is not for everyone.
-Light-colored hair is not for everyone.

I have not read that particular book -- "What not to wear" yet. I probably will later though.

I am a firm believer in "investment dressing" [buying real quality classic clothing whenever possible. so I have read Leah Feldon's books [and many others on classic fashions for years now].

When I gained weight, and my look started getting frumpy, the "Does this make me look fat" book came out right on time, and It was my new fashion bible. I really needed it too!

I am not young, beautiful, and as slender as most of you ladies, but when I dress to go out, I turn quite a few heads still -- because I can still look stylishly striking and in good taste. :cool:

[honeydrop215]

see? stores need to stop with vanity sizing. ppl think a size 4 in one store is a size 4 universally, noooooo hun!!

[msportugal]

they need to stop vanity sizing and start sizing like the men by actual measurements

alira those are two good ones
