It makes me think too much of the 80's (I've BTDT) and I think it is just very unflattering to my figure. Plus, I am a short mama and I think it would just make me look even shorter.

You mean the old skinny jean style. I actually tried on a pair the other day and had a flashback to about 15 years ago when I had to peel my pants off my calves everyday. I hope that manufacturers realize, some of us will NEVER again wear skinny jeans, and continue making all styles. I think people finally realize that different styles suite different bodies.

I think they're cute ... but there is no way my fatass would fit into a pair now.

Yes! Thank you, different styles for different bodies is so true. Have you seen them paired with PUMPS!!!! I said it, pumps! I saw a young girl the other day w/ skinny jeans, black pumps, a "flash dance" style off the shoulder shirt w/ a tank top being revealed under by one shoulder.

:hahaha: I really think that some styles should just stay in the past...I swear of all the decades of fashon, the 80's was the worst...I was a little kid and even then I thought that it was ugly. I much prefer the late 60's/70's style...but I have always thought that I was born 30 years too late...(sigh)

i hate them! blech...and what next?...zippers up the calves?

no i'm thinking pleated high waists with tapered ankles and several pair of socks scrunched together into chucks...with LOTS of pink and teal and grey tops.


oh i saw some the other day that were acid washed...they called them something else but that's what they were. acid wash. holy sheep i thought we'd learned the first time :rolleyes:

don't forget the tube top belt and knit tunic top with knit pants underneath in mix and match colors.

:joker: you know they are selling leggings again? even the ones with lace edges at the bottom. they recommend we wear them with "flats" ala pointy toe flat pumps. ACK!!!!

junior high revisited. and it's good fashion why?

i guess the fashion people just get bored and go back to what was hot before.

please...noone start making your bangs a fountain of hairspray mess on your forhead to go with said outfits!

:joker: dude they still wear it that way just north of here...complete with a poodle perm on the sides and back.


:p

someone post a picture - i 'm so out of touch

*lol* I remember how we used to "pinch roll" the bottoms of our jeans, like fold them over and roll them up nice and tight. Oh, the horror!! :eek:

Lawd..It's funny..I'm a child of the 70s and I was utterly appalled when they started redoing those fashions which I thought were horrible then and the low waisted jeans makes butts look funny IMO...now they are trying to make us fat girls feel bad by not being flashdance ready arrrrgh. OK PEOPLE...try something new..the fashions of the 70s and 80s were AWFUL. Ok..the 60s too. LOL.

How about nicely fitting jeans and flattering shirts for everyone...

I'm really kind of sick of skinny unrealistic people...can you tell???

maybe it's because you didn't live through them once already...hmmmm...;pot:

um yah I did. lol. didn't i?

oh well i figured maybe you missed out on it. i did that when i was in middle school...thought maybe you were an adult and adults didn't do the whole pinch roll thing. LOL! for example...how i can't bring myself to purchase ripped up jeans like the kids in school are doing....although..if i were a teen....

yah, in the 80's i was in highschool - graduated in 83 and then had college til 87 so I remember it lol

is it me or does the model with the black jeans on look kind of unhealthy? Seriously..skinny is all well and good, but when is anorexic looking a fashion statement..ugh..

um yea!!!

OMG EWWWWW
those pics are horrid.

I WILL NOT EVER WEAR TAPERED ANKLES AGAIN!!!!

My sister and I used to have to pull each others jeans off "ok, point your toes and pull back"

jeans and pumps.......BARF!
PLEASE PLEASE dont tell me they are bringing back the feathered bleach blonde fluff hair again too? You know, they style that requires a whole can of AquaNet??

I prefer bootcut jeans, they tend to balance out any size butt.

Even those skinny mini models would look bad if they were shown at a side angle. And seriously, wtf, skinny AND sliding off my a$$???

Oh, and I think skinny jeans were more early 90s. I DISTINCTLY remember zipping up the calves of my jeans over my LA Gear, double colored laced shoes and turning on Beverly Hills 90210. Where is the puking emoticon??? LOL

I love them, but unfortunately they are unflattering on me. I'm more of a "bootcut" jean person. I even wear "ballerina flats" (like above) with them. :smirk:

Yep, 80's fashion is definitely in this year. Cannot step out of the house without a million leggings, huge belt, Blondie and Pat Benatar wanna-be sightings. :hahaha:
