dawn As much as I dislike it I bought another damn tunic cut shirt. I will never learn. I am sure I will put it on and complain again!

becky
throwing stuff is therapeutic really!

I hem mine too but I am sick of it! I want change in the clothing industry (preaching to choir I know!)yeah others don't or they are good at lying. (looking at you dave)

The only pants that fit me are J-Crew X-Tall and Gap also has X-Tall (sometimes). So that's why I primarily wear skirts, because length is negligible. I have a 36" inseam.

I can't wear dresses, because the waist is always up on my rib cage, because I'm 6'1". Sometimes a normal dress will look kind of like an empire waist baby-doll looking thing, and I can rock it. But not the way it was designed to be rocked.

Tunic shirts are pregnancy shirts on everyone. I understand it's in style now, but I won't wear them, which is not to say it doesn't look good on you, because you are fabulous, I'm just sayin' I kind of agree with you. I'll be glad when they go away. Women should not look pregnant.

Idk...cawfee makes me wanna throw stuff and get fake bubbies. I actually haven't caught up on my RHofNJ, and I feel kinda bad...those ladies need all the support they can get! French pedi is happening TONIGHT. You've inspired me. :)

Pants suck. I learned how to hem my own when I was 15 because I got sick of paying the seamstress. I think cropped pants make short girls looks shorter but I still like them. But it's hard to find ones the right length without having to fix it.

I have a really long torso so I don't like high-waisted styles or cropped shirts. I also don't wear big prints, I think it overwhelms my shortness.

But I've come to realize no one else notices these things. We really are our own worst critics.

Oh yeah, You are being too hard on yourself. I really like the pink top on you. It's cute without being cutesy.

I have teensy "ahems" but still can't do the loosey goosey tops. They just accenuate the tummy. I try to fight it, but I'm always upset at my little pooch. Every woman in my family has it.
I keep trying on those maxi dresses and YUCKO, they are not cool with a little pooch.

I've found that slightly fitted tops that nip in the tiniest amount are usually flattering. In cooler weather, an open cardigan/button down/coat is great for creating a nice vertical (not horizontal) line...

Tunic cuts for me, too! My ahems are on the larger side as well, and I'm not nearly as fit as you are in the mid-section area, so the pregnant thing happens A LOT to me. That still doesn't stop me from constantly bringing tunic-y items into the dressing room, and then getting ANGRY at them. Also, those cute smocked skirts that look so fun and flirty for summer. They make me look like a mushroom walrus. True story. I love your turtle wedges and your RHoNJ french pedicure! I haven't had one of those in ages, but I kinda like it every now and then...I might just get that done when I get my toesies done the next time for old times' sake!

Oh girl I hear ya all the way around- but I live this Playful outfit on you!

There are lots of no-nos for me- short AND short-waisted AND too big chi-chis.

But I am glad you asked this because it goes hand in hand with a discovery last night. I love sheath dresses, especially ones with Mexican and Hawaiian prints. Unfortunately with aforementioned body, they make me look like a miniature version of Gilbert Grape's mother.

But last night- sis sewed elastic smocking into would be waist of my fave embroidered dress and Ta-da!

Sorry for the thread jack, but I am over the mooooon. So the answer is sheath dresses before I get my sis to tailor them for me.

Not wanting to look pregnant is NOT a crime! You’ve learned what flatters your figure, and you’re smart to stick to the styles that accentuate your best assets. End of story.

As for me, I look a fool in a babydoll dress. A FOOL, I tell you!
