so we can ll haev a nosey

i was skinny jeans poster,but no pics!

shame I canot add a pic

Oh I had to stop for a girl on a zebra crossing yesterday and I though "my arse is probably that big but at least I know better than to wear skinny jeans". God its like sticking a big arrow at your bum to draw attention to it.

Im sure if you are skinny they look fine but they just seem a bit 80s to me, which I guess is fine if you havent "been there" already.

I quite like the principal boy thing, makes me feel like Adam Ant, esp with my long coat swishing behind as I strut the pushchair down to preschool.

So Cod - what exactly should HEIFERS wear then...

Suggestions please...

I am short (5.3ish) fat (size 20ish) and huge norks...

I live in trousers...

legs ok (for a heifer)

but huge (enormous) stomach...

get the picture?

Suggestions welcome - and no tent comments please (done to death)...

I think skinny jeans look ok with long tops - not with short tops though. I wear them with long boots and long tops so the shape isn't too triangle and theres no fear of stretch over buttocks which always looks alarming. I'm a size 10 - always used to be a bit prepubescent before having children, so quite glad of a bit of curve now.

mmmm i did when asking for haircut advice!! not much point asking if you couldn't see me!

gorn now though

I 'did' skinny jeans the first time round (c. 1980-82). I had a pair with white piping down the leg. Thought they were the dog's doo-dahs. Have probably been too fat for them since... ooh... about 1983!

Still we all make style mistakes when younger. I once wore white jeans, a white top & white trainers - I must have looked like a walking tampon.

I've been reliably informed that I have the fashion sense of a bag lady

so I know I should wheel my trolley over to the style section ... someday.

Oh yes - some of the photos of me in the eighties are cracking. Specs a la Deidre Barlow and very dodgy hair style.

at MB - I only came on this thread to find out wtf FOCRED was meant to be - I can usually translate Codese, but that one stumped me.
Now I'm here I'll say that imo no-one older shorter or fatter than my DD should ever wear skinny jeans

I guess you could post a before and after the stylists get their hands on you...

I've posted a shoe one... do you want a pic of my calves and ankles?

I did post when I wanted hair advice

id say heifre( in all honelty) id lose wight! sorry
i ifnd being oevrwieght really resticiting adn so if i veer that way i try nad lso some
t i am not a skinny minny by any means but i try not to get over a 14 max

Well that's a lot of use then for me for the dinner and dance next Saturday then!

Um 3 dress sizes in a week.... probably not

You are right of course, far more choice when slimmer, but was hoping for a little bit more help from the stylie gurus...

Heifer you can wear stretch jeans or leggings under a kimono-style empire-line top eg so nobody can see your muffin top. Jeans should be worn with heeled boots but short people look good in leggings and girlie pumps. In fact a sparklier top, black leggings and any pumps might even do for evening.

thanks bucket..

Jeans and top sound ok for a less formal do - but this one will be quite a posh affair...

No way would I wear leggins outside of my house! sorry just wouldn't, but thanks for your help (at least you did help)...

I think skinny jeans can be fab with some of the longer line tops/too short for a woman over 30 dresses that are around just now. I'm loving mine, however I got a pair of those high waisted wide legs and love those too!

Oh and IMO still longer line tops with the high waist jeans, to cut the bum in half but if they are wide legs not too much volume on the top.

15yr old dd and her friends all look fab in their skinnies....,but then they are all a size 8 .
Their time will come mwahaha!

That's what I always tell DD - once I was as skinny as her - but she doesn't believe it'll happen to her
