I'm laughing at the now 14, was a 24, poster who thinks you should tuck shirts into leggings! WTF?!

to OP- you have an incredibly proportionate body. I am your height and currently 155, 10 pounds over my ideal weight and trying hard but depressed that nothing is moving and my clothes don't look good. You look better than I do because I have muffin top/belly and thin/toned everything else...........numbers aren't everything!

I think you look great!

My issue isn't ever with the size of the wearer of the skinny jeans, it's the *fit* of the jeans on the wearer. Yours look like they fit really well.

I also think that the boots look good. Cognac boots are always a good choice.

My only minor quibble is the scarf with the earrings. I'd wear one or the other.

I am also a size but was once a size 24. I won't wear leggings at all now because I had to wear them when I was obese with longer tops and tunics. In fact,if you look at the fat lady clothing store catalogs and websites, this is a standard look. So for me if you can't tuck the shirt into the leggings or you need a shirt that flairs over your hips/butt it's a fat lady look.


But the #1 rule of legging wearing is that your top should cover your behind. Even for skinny people.

OP - If I saw you out and about in this outfit, I would think to myself "cute outfit." You look great!

You have issues. She looks great.


She does NOT have issues just because she doesn't agree with you. Many people feel this way - when I leave DC and go to the burbs, I'm always shocked at the obese people in leggings.

Yeah, you're missing that BWI and pound numbers aren't everything.
