Skinny Jeans

i didnt think i could either, but hell, i gave it a shot and love it. i agree though, not everyone looks good with short hair. i however do not think one needs to be "thin" to pull off short hair.

a friend that i havent seen in about 2 years saw some pictures the other day and said she almost didn't even recognize me.. i've gained so much confidence in myself the past couple of years and i guess it shows.. most of my guy friends tell me that they can usually tell a woman is confident by the way she carries herself and that is sexy in itself :)

It's funny you say that, Nae, because I have been told by a lot of people that they never would have guessed I was insecure bc I don't carry myself that way. If I dress "just right" I feel confident, which boosts my self esteem, etc. I have done a LOT of hard work in that area (insecurities) in the last year and I'm a far better person now. I don't NEED someone else's approval to make me feel good, although it certainly doesn't hurt! LOL

I just keep reminding myself that my appearance doesn't define me. My weight doesnt' define me. I'm a good person, fat or thin.
 
first of all, did i see somewhere you posted you wear a size 4-6????
i can barely squeeze my behind in a 6! (depends on who makes the pants of course)
 
The dreaded dress size LOL. Yet another killer of self confidence. :boxing_smiley:

I go by size and fit not number. I can be anything from a petite 8 to a junior 3 or a misses 1...they're all the same size LOL
 
regarding the short hair thing, i also thought that i'd look horrible with really short hair and i tried it once and i DID look horrible. :mad: but now, i have hair that's a little above my shoulders and (i've always had long hair) so i found the happy medium. but, in my opinion, the shape of your face is more important than weight when thinking about a really short crop. i know a few overweight women who can rock a short cut. it looked better than the long hair they previously had because they looked less "weighed down" (was that rude?) :confused: anyway,...natalie portman can pull off a bald head meanwhile, i can't even cut my hair above my shoulders! wtf???

and, i totally agree with you moonbeam -- about playing up your good ass-ets. it's totally the key with clothes, hair color/cut, make-up etc. btw, when are you are leaving for Vegas? j/k

(that dude must have been out of his freakin' mind!)

and are we talking about insecurities??? omg, where do i start?

LMAO...It's funny, sometimes I can get away with Jr's 4's. In fact for a while, that's all I was wearing. Then I started seeing some "regular" 4's that I liked, so I go back and forth. Right now, the jeans I have on are jr's 6's, I think. They are 6's, I just don't know if they are jr's or "reg". Either way, in the legs they are good, but the waist...not so much. They are big and bulky. Not sure whether to return them or not. LOL

I'm packing my bags as we speak LOL! Yeah, he was pretty much a jacka$$!
I guess you can't be nice to some guys cuz right away they think 'she wants me in the worst possible way' :yelrotflmao:
 
I have to wear larger tops because my shoulders are so darn broad. I have a 26 inch waist but my shoulders stick out more than my hips. Some of my tops I have to put on by stepping into them and pulling them over my hips because I can't get something fitted for a 26" waist over my 39" shoulders!

My basic measurements are as follows:

Hips: 34"

Waist: 26"

Bust: 34"

Shoulders: 39" !!!

I wear size 2-3 pants and small (size 2-4) sleeveless tops. But in jackets/sleeved tops I have to go up to a 4 or 6 due to the shoulder issue. I'm left with excess fabric around the mid-section. I'm too cheap to go to a tailor.
 
are you a swimmer? btw, your damn shoulders are like the size of my hips! LOL!

anyway, did you see season 3 of america's next top model? that chick ann had bigger shoulders but they did NOT look bad at all but she had a really muscular, beautiful body. and since you are in shape and becoming more muscular, i think shoulders will blend in with your body more and more. plus, you are still young. your hips might still get that "womanly" shape (hehe) - mine hit me at about your age or a few years later.
 
I'm not sure how I ended up with such big shoulders. To get back to the skinny jeans thing, something that narrow on my bottom half only makes my shoulders look larger. The boot-cut jeans help make my bottom half seem a little wider.
 
i have broad sholders too.. i have a hard time with those shirts with like quarter sleves.. they look more like sleevelss on me. luckily i also have hips that kinda even it out.

I've honestly never even tried on a pair of skinny jeans so I can't say they would look bad on me, but i just dont like the tappered leg look. like i said.. i have a realy hard time finding jeans that fit.. they either fit my behind and are way too big in the waist or would fit in the waist if i could get them over my behind. this makes me hate shopping lol.. that's why i love shoes.

Lol, that's exactly like me! That's what squats and deads do to you.
 
Given all the talk we had yesterday about hair length, I am thinking of cutting mine. I'm getting too old to have long hair. :)
 
hey, i say give it a shot! you can go hardcore and lop it off or you can do a moderate cut, see how you like and then go for more! yay! it's fun to have a new "do." :SaiyanSmilie_anim:

otherwise...
