Diamonds4Me, Blue824 - Thanks for the advice and heads up. I''m not going to sweat it and wear what feels good and comfortable. Do you guys ever by Theory pants? They''re great for slenderizing if you aren''t built like a stick...that''s NOT me, far from it.
Blue824 - you''re right. I went thru the whole Neiman catalog and they''re still showing a lot of boot leg.
I had a chance to check out some of the latest runway shots. They''re showing slim riding type pants tucked into a high boot. Now who the heck is going to look good in that!
I don''t even think those pants are very flattering on the super tall super skinny! Who the heck ever thought it was a good idea to cut jeans like that?!Date: 8/27/2005 8:41:21 PM

Overall, it''s a trend that I don''t predict being around for too long. It''s one of those things that only looks good on 6 foot tall, anorexic-looking supermodels - not the average (and in my opinion, better looking!!) woman.![]()
YES! that is true, they tried to have those pants make a come back and I didn''t see them anywhere (except on my mom who had hers left over from like early 80s/early 90s hehe). Even on What Not To Wear they tell you to wear what looks good on your body and pick & choose trends. Never thought I''d reference them, but it holds true. If all of us rebel, the trend will die...hopefully!Date: 8/30/2005 10:21:52 PM

About 6 years ago I remember the fashion mags saying that the boot leg style was being switched to a narrower leg and it did NOT turn out to be true. The peg leg is just not flattering to everyone. I also remember when the fashion industry dictated our skirt lengths but a few years ago they started doing mini skirts they didn''t sell well. Now absolutely any skirt length is acceptable without looking''out of style''.
I''m boycotting the look. My slender thighs with man-calves are not made for skinny cigarette pants.Date: 8/31/2005 4:20:12 PM

OK, so we all agree not to participate in this trend? Just Say No to peg leg!
Thankfully..the one''s I own are not up to my rib cage. They''re all low cut like the current jeans are. I guess I''m weird because I do like themDate: 9/1/2005 2:07:16 AM

I''ve noticed a lot of skinny legged pants in US magazine lately...I''m really loving the low waist comfy pants! I don''t want to go back to highwaisted skinny pants ever again!!
Diamonds4Me: I have no idea how thin you are, but I''m also 5''7 with a 33" inseam and no butt. I ALWAYS ALWAY buy my pants/trousers/jeans/skirts etc. in the junior''s department because they fit my straight curveless butt so well. I cannot wear anything from Express and Limited at all because all their skirts and pants are cut too curvy and I end up with 2 halfmoon flaps in the hip area. I think I''m one of the few women I know that has the same size hips after 2 kids, who were both less than 7lbs, and required vacuum suction due to my non-existent hips!Date: 9/1/2005 7:28:44 AM

But I have to explain the reason I like them. I don''t have hips. I tried on clothes yesterday and everything in my size has the contoured hips. I felt like a stinkin'' Oompah Loompah.I had on my stiletto style boots yesterday and the legs of the pants just pooled around on the floor and they were regulars. I think they were a 32'' inseam. But because they had so much empty space in the hips and rear there was nothing to cling onto. I''m a hair over 5''7'' and with 3'' heels on I''m over 5''10''. My inseam is greater than 32''. I guess I''m just going to have to break out my sewing machine again.
And let me tell ya..everybody thinks that when you''re thin you have a closet full of really cute outfits and crap. HA! Ha..HA! (ok..mini rant here...). It couldn''t be farther from the truth! If I am lucky enough to even find my size its only in one pair and then they''re either sewed in with hips or they''re petite and fall above my ankles. At Kohl''s I was kindly told by one of the women that work there that the girls in the back room pick through all the clothes when they come off the truck so they can get the smaller sizes before they even hit the racks. So NOT fair. And some places around here get the knew stock in on Thursday mornings and they''re gone by that afternoon. Well..that just takes me out of the loop..there''s a little thing called a JOB. Catalog ordering is OUT of the question in the jeans and slacks department. They only go down to fours and those will fall off of me. Sorry..after yesterday it just really burned my patootie.
What''s back there, anyway. I don''t have curves..those that do are so lucky. And if you ever want to donate some to the ''curvless girls'' foundation..I''m first on the list! And be thankful that when you''re at the beach you aren''t referred to by the local drunk at the bar as a prepubescent 12 year old![]()

This thread is making me sad. First I''m padding my top, and now I''m thnking of padding my bottom. some people might just say: ''Eat a cheeseburger woman!'', but the thing is I gain weight in all the wrong places'' under the chin, on my upper arm, lower pooch and inner thighs. I never gain weight in the butt/hips area.
