Ok. I have long skinny legs, no hips, and absolutely no waist. Size 10 on bottom and 12 on top. Will skinny jeans just make my top half look even more out of proportion? I always felt the bootleg bit 'balanced' my bigger top half. What could I wear on top to distract from this? Or should I just not bother?

bigger top half? You are size 12! Be off with you.

Arh, I am other way round Size 8 on top but 10 on bottom. I have hips and a bum. Would look to big in skinny jeans.

Will stick to my lovely pair of Seven's I bought in teh sale last week.

frannyf · 01/09/2005 13:45

I have no bum at all and my legs are TOO skinny. However I missed out on the nice small waist skinny women usually get. I need sympathy not mockery!

I want to look like a Ramone. [sulking emoticon]

I have skinny legs too, no calves (calfs?) to speak of.

I am thinking boots, then at least something is wider on the bottom.

frannyf · 01/09/2005 13:48

Yes but boots on skinny calves look like wellies.

oliveoil · 01/09/2005 13:49

lol, I have that problem, like bits of cotton in a toilet tube.

frannyf · 01/09/2005 13:50

Have you seen that site with xx different calf sizes? Didn't like any of the boots, but still...
(searching for link)

frannyf · 01/09/2005 13:51

20 calf fittings but not one nice pair of boots

dropinthe · 01/09/2005 14:17

I like that site-will store that one for Christmas as need some new kinky boots!

frannyf · 01/09/2005 14:24

Actually they have some nicer new ones in since I last looked. I think my problem is I can't do heels so that rules out about 80% to start with.

PSML at sperms and the Ramones. Haven't laughed so much in ages. Might try on a pair of skinny tomorrow - that'll wipe the smile off my fat arsed face.

hoxtonchick · 15/09/2005 19:50

hmmm, have seen them on people now & i have to say it's not a look i could carry off.... but i am wearing cropped jeans with longish boots today so who am i to talk?

zippy539 · 15/09/2005 20:02

I think cropped jeans with boots look nice - and, dare I say it colottes (sp?) with long boots - much more flattering than skinny jeans IMO.

I bought boot shoes the other day, love them. Great for under trousers, trousers have to hang over them. Look like boots but at half the price.

mugface · 19/09/2005 13:50
