Depends. But I did learn to walk in high heels so I can wear smart shoes now.

i think their advice can be quite good - a lot of women are stuck in a rut and don't know how to get out or where to start.
However, they dress all women the same way with no room for personality or personal preferences. They're trying to make a nation of mini t&S's.

Not from George by any chance? That is where I got mine and already I saw a woman in the playground with another one form there. Grrr. I hate it when you meet someone wearing the same thing as you.

this is a slight hijack but i dont' care:

i'm wearing a pari of gap westernbootcut jeans and they are a size 10 and bit on the leg and totally spilling out muffin topness at the waist....if i get a bigger pair my legs are totally unflattered and my muffin top becomes a whales tail (they slide down my hips so that all of my problem area becomes apparent.

i'm at my wits end with this.

and i do wear jeans and tshirts most of the time, but neither are shapeless iyswim.

cod....sort my jeans out pleease....

Heathcliffscathy · 29/09/2005 14:37

should say big on the leg....loose material at the back of the thigh

Only trainers I possess are a Diesel pair in cream and red that I got for a snip on ebay. Still haven't worn them yet as don't go with my "unsporty" body!

Heathcliffscathy · 29/09/2005 14:41

strictly speaking a whales tail is being able to see the top of someone's g string....what i mean tho is my trousers getting so low that my whole mum belly/hips combo is exposed....

hahabundle · 29/09/2005 14:41

is whales tail like lovehandles?

Heathcliffscathy · 29/09/2005 14:42

cupcakes · 29/09/2005 14:42
