Wide belts are not an option, either.<br /> I actually really like the look of the muted mushroomy colors, but they don't work for me at all (and I tried in the past). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-there-any-trends-which-you-love-but-feel-unable-to-wearing/page/3#post-203704 Fri, 20 Aug 2010 17:43:41 +0000 bj1111 203704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>for those of you who would like to see russ crowe's legs, i think he sports a kilt in romper stomper, an ultraviolent aussie movie a la reservoir dogs.</p> <p>at least i'm hoping i remember this correctly! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-there-any-trends-which-you-love-but-feel-unable-to-wearing/page/3#post-203698 Fri, 20 Aug 2010 17:35:33 +0000 RoseandJoan 203698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty boys appear to be the trend the forum is most undecided on EVER!

JL is always pretty (well, aside from a really unfortunate picture Inge sent me). But I like him best when he is less conventional. More grungy and more rockstar. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-there-any-trends-which-you-love-but-feel-unable-to-wearing/page/3#post-203672 Fri, 20 Aug 2010 16:43:09 +0000 RandomThoughts (Andrea) 203672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, and just to put myself out there, here's someone who is not classically, conventionally or really probably at all handsome yet I find him attractive: Willem Defoe. There's just something about that guy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-there-any-trends-which-you-love-but-feel-unable-to-wearing/page/3#post-203669 Fri, 20 Aug 2010 16:41:53 +0000 RandomThoughts (Andrea) 203669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I guess it comes down to how you are using "conventional". JL is pretty in the conventional sense, IMO. That doesn't mean -he- is conventional. (Not that I know jack about JL - I had to Google him to see who you were talking about.)</p> <p>Kinda like Johnny Depp. Dude's pretty but he himself is anything but conventional. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-there-any-trends-which-you-love-but-feel-unable-to-wearing/page/3#post-203666 Fri, 20 Aug 2010 16:31:12 +0000 chewyspaghetti 203666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brad Pitt scares me. If I were walking down the street, and he was coming in the opposite direction- I would cross to the other side of the street. I'm not much for conventional pretty boys either, Maya. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-there-any-trends-which-you-love-but-feel-unable-to-wearing/page/3#post-203571 Fri, 20 Aug 2010 12:36:12 +0000 Maya 203571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't agree at all. JL has gone through so many looks (including some really awful ones). Anyway I know I don't like pretty boys because my choices are regularly the subject of mockery and teasing by friends. Which is fine by me--more for me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-there-any-trends-which-you-love-but-feel-unable-to-wearing/page/3#post-203568 Fri, 20 Aug 2010 11:49:02 +0000 RoseandJoan 203568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Edit: never trust wikipedia Clive Owen = Gerrard Butler.

It must have something to do with where the waistband sits (and jeans are harder than skirts and dress pants for some reason) .....will have to investigate this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-there-any-trends-which-you-love-but-feel-unable-to-wearing/page/2#post-203544 Fri, 20 Aug 2010 06:05:51 +0000 Scarlet 203544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay for taking the leap, FiestyWife </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-there-any-trends-which-you-love-but-feel-unable-to-wearing/page/2#post-203230 Thu, 19 Aug 2010 19:24:11 +0000 FiestyWife 203230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm artic about a Becks/Pitt love child. Then again I was Team Aniston.</p> <p>I said I loved the super tight bandage dresses but my hips wouldn't...well they did. I tried one on at N.Rack this morning and I loved it. You did notice my hips but in a very va-va-voom kind of way. I wasn't able to take pictures and didn't buy the dress (the neckline was wrong) but I am now on a hunt for a great (and affordable) bandage dress and a place to wear it.</p> <p>It was this dress in women's and shades of purple: <a href="http://www1.bloomingdales.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=488570&#038;PseudoCat=se-xx-xx-xx.esn_results" rel="nofollow">http://www1.bloomingdales.com/.....sn_results</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-there-any-trends-which-you-love-but-feel-unable-to-wearing/page/2#post-203223 Thu, 19 Aug 2010 19:14:11 +0000 Carole 203223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't do the strong shoulder thing, either! I already fight the feeling that I look like a football player! Thought I couldn't do leggings, but am warming up to that. I thought I was never destined to have a moto jacket, but found the perfect fit at the Rack this summer, dying to wear it!</p> <p>I don't think I will ever be early to wear a trend, not enough confidence, I suppose, but seeing eveyone here post their pictures, helps me get the courage. Thank God for Angie and YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-there-any-trends-which-you-love-but-feel-unable-to-wearing/page/2#post-203218 Thu, 19 Aug 2010 19:07:38 +0000 Maya 203218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I said CONVENTIONAL pretty boys. I don't think JL is conventional at all (well, some times more than others, but I prefer when he's not). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-there-any-trends-which-you-love-but-feel-unable-to-wearing/page/2#post-203215 Thu, 19 Aug 2010 19:06:34 +0000 Angie 203215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also think that Jared Leto is conventionally pretty. You *do* like pretty boys, Maya! </p> <p>Ele, I have no doubt that the bloke is question was a MUCH better hybrid in person :0) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-there-any-trends-which-you-love-but-feel-unable-to-wearing/page/2#post-203212 Thu, 19 Aug 2010 19:04:47 +0000 Lynne 203212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Julie, how about incorporating the tartan in a different style of skirt? Like a shorter skirt rather than pleated kilt? Just make sure you choose the right clan and can live with the feedback! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-there-any-trends-which-you-love-but-feel-unable-to-wearing/page/2#post-203195 Thu, 19 Aug 2010 18:44:29 +0000 Ele 203195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha, what have I started... Julie, your thread has devolved somewhat :)</p> <p>Neither Becks nor Brad is really my type either (I'm not so into blonde men), but I stand by my initial statement- the Scottish lad in question was a definite looker. The accent and charm might have had something to do with it, though. </p> <p>Oh, and Jared Leto is so pretty! Tsk, Maya. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-there-any-trends-which-you-love-but-feel-unable-to-wearing/page/2#post-203193 Thu, 19 Aug 2010 18:43:59 +0000 Angie 203193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now we're taking bj1111. </p> <p>Oh! Sorry Julie! Of course you can wear a kilt! You'd rock the look with your Office booties. Sans the Aunt Mildred cardigan though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-there-any-trends-which-you-love-but-feel-unable-to-wearing/page/2#post-203186 Thu, 19 Aug 2010 18:33:40 +0000 April 203186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, you are definitely not the only one left cold by the Beckham/Pitt idea. I find both of their faces completely uninteresting. I remember after seeing Brad Pitt for the first time in Thelma &amp; Louise, I was shocked that he became such a matinee idol. I still don't get it.</p> <p>EDIT: Maya, no pretty boys? &lt;cough&gt; Jared &lt;cough&gt; Leto? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-there-any-trends-which-you-love-but-feel-unable-to-wearing/page/2#post-203179 Thu, 19 Aug 2010 18:25:03 +0000 Maya 203179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ugh, I don't like conventional pretty boys. I think everyone thought I was gay growing up because none of the loverboys of my teens (JTT, Andrew Keagan...those sorts of guys) did anything for me. I have never found Brad Pitt even remotely attractive. I just don't get it. Then again, I am very selective and a bit eccentric in my choices...</p> <p>However, I do heartily enjoy the idea of men wearing skirts... I wish the Met would revive that exhibit. Sigh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-there-any-trends-which-you-love-but-feel-unable-to-wearing/page/2#post-203162 Thu, 19 Aug 2010 18:04:27 +0000 RoseandJoan 203162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*Chuckle* Angie I was referring to me in a kilt, I prefer my leading males more rugged of the Clive Owen variety ;)</p> <p>Anna, you need an aviator jacket, that is for sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-there-any-trends-which-you-love-but-feel-unable-to-wearing/page/2#post-203161 Thu, 19 Aug 2010 18:03:15 +0000 bj1111 203161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>russell crowe in a kilt...now there's a good lad. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-there-any-trends-which-you-love-but-feel-unable-to-wearing/page/2#post-203159 Thu, 19 Aug 2010 17:58:56 +0000 Angie 203159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Even in a kilt, Julie. Those boys don't light my fire </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-there-any-trends-which-you-love-but-feel-unable-to-wearing/page/2#post-203156 Thu, 19 Aug 2010 17:55:54 +0000 annagybe 203156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Julie I think if you find the most unkiltlike kilt you could get away with it. I really liked the Pringle ones for example.<br /> Regarding the aviator jacket, I loved the Topshop you linked to me, but I hesitated and it's already sold out! I've been stalking several websites trying to find something similar. Maybe as it gets cooler they'll be more selection. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-there-any-trends-which-you-love-but-feel-unable-to-wearing/page/2#post-203146 Thu, 19 Aug 2010 17:38:32 +0000 RoseandJoan 203146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Even the kilt Angie!</p> <p>Am I the only one imagining an actor with the voice of Mr Beckham!</p> <p>Ele, thank you for the encouragement about the kilt, if I was Scottish I would maybe try the look but I'm an English gal in Scotland so it may be perceived wrongly.</p> <p>Lots of people wanting to wear short shorts and I do remember the blog post Angie.</p> <p>Fi, I hope you are able to find an aviator jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-there-any-trends-which-you-love-but-feel-unable-to-wearing/page/2#post-203121 Thu, 19 Aug 2010 17:00:34 +0000 Angie 203121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marianna, you won the TJ Maxx competition with a "jeans tucked into boots" outfit. And that was by an impartial judge! You rock the look. </p> <p>@ everyone, please TRY the trends you think you can't wear and lets try to make them wearable in some way. I'm not promising a slam dunk, but there are ways to make things work.</p> <p>Am I the only one left cold at the thought of a Beckham/Pitt child? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-there-any-trends-which-you-love-but-feel-unable-to-wearing/page/2#post-203063 Thu, 19 Aug 2010 15:30:43 +0000 lynne 203063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Skinny jeans tucked into boots = stumpy legs for me. I know I should never say never, but for this I'd only do it 2 days after never. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-there-any-trends-which-you-love-but-feel-unable-to-wearing/page/2#post-203019 Thu, 19 Aug 2010 12:36:05 +0000 Maya 203019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, Sally, you remnded me. I wish I could wear wide statement belts. Actually I just really wish I could wear any belts without having to consider every minor fluctuation in my weight and bloatiness throughout the day. I have to say I still don't fully embrace belts, 6 months after Angue hogtied me in one. I have to go into wearing them fully aware that I will not be comfortable at some point in the day, which usually means I leave them off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-there-any-trends-which-you-love-but-feel-unable-to-wearing/page/2#post-202977 Thu, 19 Aug 2010 06:59:12 +0000 Sally 202977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wish I could tuck my shirt in and wear a belt. I am quite short waisted and it looks awful, even though I exercise a lot and am not carrying a huge amount of weight. Have to always wear my shirts out. </p> <p>Its not a trend I like now but I always wanted to pull off the muslin Stevie Nicks look when I was a teenager, but my ample bosom made me look like a voluptous milk maid and everything would hang from the shoulders and the chest. </p> <p>I also dont really suit double breasted coats...but think they are lovely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-there-any-trends-which-you-love-but-feel-unable-to-wearing/page/2#post-202966 Thu, 19 Aug 2010 06:14:12 +0000 Scarlet 202966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I want to wear platform high-heeled utility boots like these ones and stomp around in them all winter!
