Modest dressing in the sun

sigh

FG, how do you feel inside? Just curious?

How is your tongue?

fu fu skirts are the way to go :D

Mehnaq I was thinking of those suede ones, with the buckles.

No way in hell am I wearing skin tight leathers to my knees with a 50s skirt.

I don't wear heels, I think I own one pair.

Urgh, problems problems, oh and poeple I am having a drastic cut tomorrow. Wish me luck and stuff.

Keep toungues to yourself, this girl looks yuck to me, the magic is in showing just enough but not too much, she is showing too much (matties pic)

I think leather boots are overrated. I have a pair and wore them maybe 3 times with a knee length skirts and they just lost their appeal to me. What a serious waste of money. Leather stretches and these boots started to stretch along the zipper and I wasn't about to pay to have them taken in so that they fit properly .... now, I wear them in the winter under my trousers to keep my legs warm. That's their only use.

Oooh, you know what you can try, although it is a bit warm now for this look? 3/4 length pants with knee-high boots. It looks really good.

You people forget that I’m a fatty :mad: I can’t pull off all these looks like you people :mad: plus I have short legs so 3/4 lenghts don’t sit so well.

urgh

I may just sew a tablecloth together and call it improvising, or take up the burqua to hide beneath.

Bloody sunny weather :mad:

Hiccy, showing too much is not the issue. Dowdy frumpy chicks are the bane of human existence. Short legs demand short skirts otherwise you are walking torso and people will come by and give you some pennies.

Desis are such fashion victims..sigh

I need the money.

And besides, you are not necessarily dowdy if you aren't flashing.

I think short legs require slits. What you can do is wear a long skirt with slits up the sides or at the back (not too long or high of course) with your long boots underneath. How about that?

Or, I have also seen some girls who are short wear long skirts down to their ankles without any slits at all. As long as the skirt is fitted properly, it looks really good!

Or try flares. No, not disco flares but the kind I described above. Fitted with a straight/wide cut.

are u allowed to wear capris? u can try that with a long dheeli si Tshrit or kurta type shirt. wear it with sandles it looks so comfy and summery. :-)

What are capris?

:bummer:

Mehnaz, you want to come here and help me shop?

Hiccy asking what capris are is just not possible.

Capris are 3/4 length pants ... fitted or flared depending on where you get them. They range from below the knee to a few inches above the ankle ... depending on the style ... I think you would look good in them. If I can pull it off with my hips and backside, surely you can too.

You havnt seen neither my hips nor my backside. Not that they aren't great :p

lol, well there's one solution then to your problems. Give them a shot. :p

Hiccy spend this summer in the gym and flaunt it all next year :smiley:

Extra weight and bluges are our hugest enemy and problem. It’s just cos of that that you can’t find anything decent yet tendy to wear. If you got yourself in better shape you would surely wear jeans and trousers and slightly fitted skirts and not have to think about covering bluges. Invest just one summer and see the difference! I need to do the same :bummer:

Oh Hiccup, I can relate to your problem, Im not tall either. :bummer:

Here’s what to do, some suggestions after years of trying and buying.

Long tight skirts with or without slits are a big no no. You need to go with light flowing material, it can be with two layers of cloths too. The trick is so that the skirt is wide at the end, like this / \ but not so wide. Make sure the material is light and flowing. Dont go for hard stuff. The look great with summer sandles.

One more is the type of skirt that you tie with a bow around you. Its basically a large piece of cloth that you wrap around your hips and tie at the side of the stomach with a string, which is attached or with zip/buttons. Here you may use hard and strong piece of cloth too.

Another method is to buy long dresses, I know that some are sleeveless, you can wear a matching shirt one the top of the sleevless part.

Let me know if you need more ideas, I will take a look into my wardrobe for more ideas.

A Sarong :love:

^ so its called Sarong, we call it Wickelrock in german :)
