the few times i do a makeover I totally teach my girls the rules to dressing for their body type. When you wear what's in and not what's in and right for your body you can make yourself look trashy, or worse fat. Remember last summer all these women walking around in maxi dresses that flared out from the empire waist? That was a horrible idea for anyone with big arms (bc most dresses were sleeveless), for short women because it made them look stumpy (needed to rock platforms or wedges). Or for thick/wide girls it just made them look even wider. It was rare when I saw a girl rocking a maxi dress that actually complimented her figure.
Like if you have a jlo booty and bigger legs maybe skinny jeans aren't for you, instead you should be going for straight cut. Yet I see a ton of girls with thunder thighs walking around in their skinnny jeans happily. I just have to SMH when I see them. It's worse when I know the person but unless someone asks me how they look I wont speak up.
Well isn't it just better to wear whatever you like? Even if others don't think it suits you, if you're happy why should it matter?
What if you're happy because you don't know how bad it looks untill someone points it out to you? Would you rather be happy, or look appealing to majority and be happy at the same time?
Would you wear a sleeveless sari when you have flabby arms and still be happy if everyone made fun of you?
very limited things actually suit me so i only go with style that i myself like in mirror.
Gina post some pix or why not all those who say every style suits me post their pix n we can rate them :)

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. One thing I wear might look dreadful to one person and lovely to someone else. If using my own judgement, I think it looks good why should I care if others don't find it appealing? (staying within the realms of decency) Everybody's taste differs. I disagree upon following guidelines on what suits you and what doesn't suit you, unless you yourself make those decisions.
Yes I would wear a sleeveless sari with flabby arms if I thought it looked good. I don't know right now because I've never worn one before. But if I did think it looked good I'd wear it with confidence. :)

Exactly--there shoudl be a balance between what you like and what generally looks good
Personally I LOVE skinny jeans. Others may not agree, but I think they look nice on me. if I'm told to wear what others dictated I'd be pretty miserable.
Thumbs up! and yes, big girls can rock skinny jeans too!!
I have seen lots of girls try things that are 'in' just because everyone is doing it, regardless of whether it suits them, their complexion, eye color, or body-type. I read girls asking what's 'in' in the bridal section as well and not really worrying about if it'll actually look good on them or not. We all remember the first time highlights were introduced, everyone wanted the same 'bleached' highlights... if you are fair you can carry it off..if you aren't it looks horrible. Same thing with pear and apple shaped bodies wearing patiala shalwars, short women wearing the long kameez's and flared bottoms.
Do you follow what's 'in or do you actually do what you believe looks nice on you?
Gina u r 100% right..our desi girls/women do not care dat wats really suits on their body,weight ect they only want to grab the fashion...i have question abut the kameez's length dat abut how much height should b to wear n carry the long shirt n flaired bottoms?i mean if i'm 5'2 then would the long shirt suit or not bcuz i think i'm not much tall so i am bit conscious...
There are skinny jeans that 'chubby' women can wear and that will flatter them instead of highlighting the 'trouble areas'. Why not wear what suits you instead of wearing what's 'in' even if it plays-up u're problem area's?
A long kameez if u're short will make u appear shorter, anarkali's on busty women will make them look bustier. I've seen brides wear mermaid style lehnga's (being a pear-shape) that's the worst style u could chose..
I don't look good in anarkalis - so I don't even own one. I compensate that by getting longer shirts made with a tailored flare - I am tall so I can pull it off.
