So you haven't grown since you were 12?

I know I not only gained height but feminine curves as well since I was 12, so I'm pretty sure the clothes I had at age 12 would look terrible on 24-year old me.

I still don't think they have pretty shoes, but it's probably just a matter of taste

It's good to know they make other shoes beside those ugly huge plastic-looking things.

Today I'm wearing the dress I wore to the BBQ with a pair of flat sandals. Nothing more. I've named it 'the world's most uncomplicated summer outfit'

A topic that we talked about in the cup-thread was leggings. I happen to like leggings, a lot. Especially in winter, because by wearing a pair of warm leggings you can still wear a dress when it's cold. I told Astra that I think leggings can be worn by everyone ... Boy, was I wrong. This morning I saw a young girl, overweight, in a short dress with black leggings that ended about 15 cm above her ankles, which was the widest part of her calf and made her legs look even bigger. With that, she wore sandals with white socks

That made me think though: what is the best length for leggings? I usually wear them ankle length or just above the ankle (where your leg starts to thin, just below the calf muscles). I have pretty muscular and so bigger than average calfs (the fate of a runner), so I always feel knee-length or capri leggings look ridiculous on me. How do you girls (and guys?

) wear leggings?

EDIT: and also this: what do you think about wearing leggings with a sleeveless dress/tunic? I always think it looks a bit weird, but sometimes I like the coverage leggings provide (like when I'm to lazy to shave my legs

)

Looking like Quasimodo, I've never worried about trying to look beautiful. I just take what I can get... which is comfort.

You are going to keep trying, aren't you? I think the photo of the black dress showed of my curves quite well, so you can't say you haven't seen them

Kindred mind and probably appearance to a certain degree

Spoiler:

Comfortable shoes are very important in daily life (for me at least).
I usually pay a lot for mine. Often they are Clarks. They are not cool. However, they are comfortable and sturdy.

I remember the days when I thought like that but age brings wisdom

Now I'm into comfort with style, my crocs are the Mary Jane sort, not the big clogs.

In the summer (Georgia, USA) I live in Skechers. I have the same shoe, Rumblers, in white/silver, black and brown/gold. If I need my foot enclosed I wear a casual sneaker/trainer type which I have in olive, brown, tan and black. Notice a pattern? If I like the way something feels and looks I buy several in different colors and live in them. Same with clothing and bags. I don't find Crocs very comfortable but I have a narrow foot. I have a lot of flip-flops. I have them all over the place. I use them like slippers.

talking about shoes... Converse stores are everywhere! The brand is popular. It's like 1 in every 3 persons wears them. What do you think?

to converse. I have a black and white canvas pair, and an all black leather pair. Very cool (at least until I started wearing them they were...).

The Converse shoes have thick soles and give me a heavy/sturdy feel. I like them. I have one pair, a normal blue one, somehow when I tried them on they fitted well but now I feel like they are 2 sizes smaller. Nothing worse than walking in poorly-fit shoes.
