Based on the pictures of you that I've seen here, I can say that you look great in wrap tops and in v-necks. And you've got a great pair of legs, so you can work short dresses and skirts, too. Don't let one disappointing outfit get you down. You are super cute and it seems to me that you really know how to dress to accentuate your best physical qualities.sulu-designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14997610829986070303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21080493.post-54116279739160955852007-09-12T11:00:00.000-05:002007-09-12T11:00:00.000-05:00I would say that with age comes wisdom. ;) I have ...I would say that with age comes wisdom. ;) I have figured that you learn what really suits you, as you get older, and you can tell just by looking at a garment or a pattern, whether you should try it or not. I am also rather curvy, and there are a lot of clothes out there that I can't wear, unless I want to look like a slut, or as thick and solid as a tree trunk. I have found it very helpful to spot people, who have the same figure as I do, and to look at what looks good on them and also, what doesn't. Learn from others' mistakes. ;) And remember, you're a lucky girl, a lot of "stick women" would kill to have your curvy figure!Lotta Breyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07649515952086707166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21080493.post-2899827965030947232007-09-11T15:45:00.000-05:002007-09-11T15:45:00.000-05:00Pictures or mirrors CAN distort a figure!

I'm never happy with my pictures and I think I look much better in front of the mirror.<BR/><BR/>You raise important issues here; I believe that clothes can make you radiant and gorgeous if you feel really good in them. The opposite is also true; so, it's more a matter of "what makes you feel gorgeous and self confident" and not as much “what people thing when they see a picture of you”, which, as we all know, often distorts reality.Tanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01073735708031525696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21080493.post-27537914588166448942007-09-11T13:49:00.000-05:002007-09-11T13:49:00.000-05:00Coming to really know my body and be happy with it...Coming to really know my body and be happy with it is a lifelong struggle for me. Just when I think I'm there, my durn body changes! I've been able to ignore a lot of facts because I was buying 'off the rack'. Now that I'm knitting, I have to be throroughly familar with the details. All the measuring, trying-on and photo-taking that comes with blogging about this hobby challenges my confidence.<BR/>I have learned that side views and lighting effects are my friends. <BR/>I started out trying to take pictures of all the details, then I noticed the best photos in blogs and magazines just show a FO looking good. Sometimes you can't even see the FO clearly.<BR/>One other thing I've learned is that if I post something that doesn't look good, I don't get many comments. Those things go to the back of the closet, and again I learn.<BR/>What is it about the button downs and pinstripes that works for you? Maybe if you can isolate the effect, you can reproduce the effect in another type of wear?Susan Lunihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17799333297406389634noreply@blogger.com
