No, it isn't. You're confusing "frumpy" with "not trendy."

Adorable on her. Frumpy on a 47 mother of 2.


Unless that mother has the same build as the model (spoiler: I don't)

Aside: Burberry is too much brown. It's a lot of money for something that is so plain.

Even ill-fitting clothing that looks like it is trying to hide a flabby tummy.

Clothes that accentuate nothing.

Oh....And gray roots too.




None of that says insecure to me. Quite the opposite.

I'm not insecure in the least and those of who walk around judging other people based on the length of their toes are the ones with issues.


Agree about the footwear!

But having greasy hair, grubby ill fitting clothes isn't particularly comfortable

So, the backpack worn as a handbag is causing lots of dissension amongst the ranks....maybe a caveat?

- backpacks worn as purses are okay if you wear them on Wednesday and ask permission from Regina George first?

Just kidding.

And as for all the giant women with finger-toes. I apologize, you can't help being born with huge feet.

- brown, so much brown. You think it all matches itself, but it doesn't.
- backpacks.... There is never, ever an excuse for a grown woman to wear a backpack. Ever. I would literally prefer if you used a target bag as a handbag.
- merrills
- big droopy breasts. If they are cylindrical without a bra, wear a bra.
- the greasy low ponytail. Dry shampoo or a shower, it's not hard.
- baseball cap worn with a ponytail without pulling the ponytail through the hole in the back.
- too tight clothes that you are constantly pulling over your belly to adjust. You gained weight? So what, please
Just go buy a pair of pants that fit properly. It's okay, reAlly.
- drop earrings that are clearly homemade or bought At a farmers market.
- one cool or edgy item (it's usually a handbag) that is clearly borrowed or a gift because it's the only nice part of your outfit. Or the only part of your outfit that isn't hideous. If your parents or sister want to give you a freebee from Nordstrom, but a good bra, not a cool handbag, it doesn't pull your look together, it makes all your other clothes look like the shit they are.
- women with size 11 feet wearing open toed shoes. If your toes are the length of my fingers, please don't parade them around
- VPL. Again, it's okay to gain weight. But if you do, buy new undies.

Flame away, but women of DC, you have options in life. Never, ever, choose loose fit capris.


I am secure in my love for loose fit capris and wearing opened toed shoes on my enormous feet. Accessorized by my farmer's market earrings and my backpack. Frumpy and proud!
Even I have never seen that many women in DC wear brown.


There's me. I have a brown backpack purse.

OP here. ITA. The irony of the two threads is that some people are just arbitrary and won't like you for the way you look!
