i am a size 14 and wear city shorts and as long as you get the top right and you have ok legs then you are laughing, they are my fail safe

flutterbee · 03/06/2006 22:47

They look awful Cod and you know it, you are just in denial because you have been tricked into buying a pair, I bet you have a wrap dress as well, another item that shows up every lump and bump of anyone who is more than a skeleton.

foundintranslation · 03/06/2006 22:47

Not my cup of tea but i would never do shorts anyway.

flutterbee · 03/06/2006 22:56

when you said "huups" I read it as humps and had a vision of you doing the black eyed peas song "my humps my lovely lady lumps"

just not mad on city shorts - today i noticed every woman in evry shop/cafe i went in seemed to have them on ...bit dresser-ish to coin an eighties favourite!

divamummy · 04/06/2006 15:48

what size is cod? seen lots of over size 14, is that mean over size 14 is big?

btw, i bought white and navy full length linen trousers from next, to wear around town.
i wear white linen trousers with beige wedge sandals, green top and cardigan set with beige suede handbag is that sound ok?

i will consider about city shorts, im only 5f6 and size 14. i only wear shorts or minskirt in back garden or beach, i dont have long legs:(

zoeuk1 · 04/06/2006 15:59

i think a size 14 is about average isnt it. maybe even a 16. i think you can get away with most things as a size 14. im a 10 sometimes 12 and there are some things i would never wear. eg. thoses really really low jeans with a short top that you see women wearing with a roll of belly hanging over the top of the jeans. why? why? im sure some people dont have mirrors.

LadyCodofCOdford · 04/06/2006 16:22

oh yes size 14 is the largest that a strappy tp[ shodu l go up to
i prfer tank type sleeveless t shirts
i am a 14 on top normally

I was wearing cord cut offs with trainers and trainer socks today cod and I smirked to myself as I put them on Wink

babyonboard · 04/06/2006 17:05

ooh i've got a nasty story to share..

a woman opposite me on the tube yesterday was wearing what looked like 70 denier tights..with flip flops! argh
she'd bunched the tights up around the toe post..awful, awful..

MissChief · 04/06/2006 17:07

just saw a girl, about 16, showing off (accidentally, I hope) her bottom cleavage complete with a road map of stretchmarks.. Those low rise trousers not a good look if you're overweight, esp if you happen also to be troughing away on a huge icecream

fairyfly · 04/06/2006 17:09

Cod do you consiuder yourself a style icon and i thing of perfect beauty?

motherinferior · 04/06/2006 17:11

I liked cropped trousers. I like my DP in cropped drawstring trousers even though he says they remind him of hobbits (cue "I feel the urge to go on a long long journey"). I just do. And I'm a shortarse of nearly 43 and I DON'T CARE.

is it simple vanity or mixture of that & being health-conscious though?

yes, tons of people are overweight and they are unhealthy because of it, not a good thing..even if they're a sizeable (excuse the pun!) minority. Btw, I'm not saying someone's necessarily overweight if size 16+ but there's often an obvious correlation.

shall i run for cover now?
