Anything loose and flowing - I am short and look like I am wearing a sack. Oh and collarless shirts.

Anything with even a slightly high neck makes my norks look cartoon huge. Anything too floral or girly somehow makes me look very butch and not at all girly Confused

Maxi skirts (frumpola).
Carrot jeans (the worst shape for my body ever).
Liberty prints - unflattering librarian look.
Anything sack-like.
Also tempted to add, anything viscose, polyester, acrylic.

trainers - i feel like a twat in white shoes.

All recieved wisdom insists that cropped jackets are the last word in flattering for my body shape.

So how come I look like a dapper little twat in them then?

Just saw the how Clogs and uggs make my legs look stumpy and florals make me look like an old lady draped in a taplecloth.

i tried on some skinny coloured jeans yesterday, it wasn't my finest sartorial hour.

long skirts rarely look good on anyone non willowy and past mid 20's

That long jumper and leggings look - tried it once and two people asked me when I was due (was not pregnant!). Blush

3/4 leggings. I don't have the slimmest legs anyway, but with those they looked like two tiny plump sausages. So bad it was funny.
