I've got LOTS of freckles and during summer, the occasional bruise or mosquito bite. Thank goodness for self tanning lotion and cropped cargo pants! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chouette22-made-me-think-about-my-legs#post-318634 Tue, 22 Mar 2011 01:29:47 +0000 catgirl 318634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm, sounds like we'll just have to treat all my injuries as YLF badges of honor - or accessories! Love you all for your great stories and spirit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chouette22-made-me-think-about-my-legs#post-318611 Tue, 22 Mar 2011 00:49:40 +0000 jen321 318611@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have scars and bruises too that I sport in the summer! If ever you are going someone fancy or special you could always use that leg spray makeup. Heard good things, but haven't tried it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chouette22-made-me-think-about-my-legs#post-318607 Tue, 22 Mar 2011 00:30:02 +0000 lyn* 318607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My legs are definitely all banged up too! That's what I like being able to wear leggings in the winter </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chouette22-made-me-think-about-my-legs#post-318604 Tue, 22 Mar 2011 00:27:35 +0000 Isabel 318604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beth, I will believe your goat story if you believe my karate story !!!!! ( I can't wait to tell my mom about the goats, HYSTERICAL )</p> <p>Inge isn't it crazy that a non-full shampoo bottle can leave such a large bruise ? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chouette22-made-me-think-about-my-legs#post-318587 Mon, 21 Mar 2011 23:44:13 +0000 rae 318587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My legs are banged up, too! Bruises, scars from cat scratches, scars from insect bites... and there's just no way to hide them come Summer. Honestly, I wouldn't worry about it one bit -- and if you still feel self-conscious, my answer is to make the rest of your outfit extra fab to draw the attention away! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chouette22-made-me-think-about-my-legs#post-318585 Mon, 21 Mar 2011 23:41:06 +0000 chewyspaghetti 318585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am another pale skinned easy bruiser, and I have a piece of asphalt from the parking lot at the Griffith Observatory permanently lodged in one kneecap (Ah, youth!). I don't care- I'm not hiding my legs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chouette22-made-me-think-about-my-legs#post-318580 Mon, 21 Mar 2011 23:25:02 +0000 chouette22 318580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll take bruises from mountain biking and climbing any day over an inactive life style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chouette22-made-me-think-about-my-legs#post-318578 Mon, 21 Mar 2011 23:10:54 +0000 elpgal 318578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I spent most of this afternoon reading back issues of fashion magazines in my dentist's office and apparently lotion-tanner is the way to go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chouette22-made-me-think-about-my-legs#post-318573 Mon, 21 Mar 2011 23:06:13 +0000 MNsara 318573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that if my legs had to be bruise free, they would never see the light of day. </p> <p>I just wish I could remember the incidents that caused the bruises. I guess they didn't make a big enough impression on me (aside from on my legs, that is). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chouette22-made-me-think-about-my-legs#post-318564 Mon, 21 Mar 2011 22:38:21 +0000 Patty 318564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As far as woman with bumps, bruises, scars--you go girl--dress to your heart's desire!</p> <p>I have a10 inch long birthmark on the back of my right thigh--my Mom will still tell me I have a 'bathroom malfunction' on the back of my leg---haven't had the general population mention it yet. It's not unusual for me to find bloody cuts, abrasions and bruises hours after they happend I often can't get to them at the time of impact for what ever reason and will forget about them--mostly from kidlet chasing. So my leg condition is pretty fluid as the day goes--as long as they are shaved I'm not bothered by their condition.<br /> Oh and also I still get this weird tan line like I've been wearing sport sox just above my ankle when I haven't--that bugs me more than anything. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chouette22-made-me-think-about-my-legs#post-318553 Mon, 21 Mar 2011 22:08:18 +0000 Kate 318553@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I usually have lots of weird tan lines going on, several bruises, plus a "dirt tattoo" on my knee from wiping out on my bike. So no, I wouldn't think anything less of your legs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chouette22-made-me-think-about-my-legs#post-318542 Mon, 21 Mar 2011 21:56:51 +0000 Inge 318542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Scarlet: LOL;-)<br /> Isabel: oh I did that too, last week, the bottle was nearly empty, but yet... huge bruise on my foot, sigh.</p> <p>And I also say: show off those amazing legs of yours! I bruise very easily, just point a finger at me, and yep there's another one, so I'm always running around with a few bruises on my (very pale) legs... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chouette22-made-me-think-about-my-legs#post-318540 Mon, 21 Mar 2011 21:54:44 +0000 Beth 318540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I run around all summer covered in bruises, scratches and the occasional patch of poison ivy:) </p> <p>Isabel, your story reminded me of the doctor who asked me about a few oddly shaped bruises on my legs. When I told her they were from my goats jumping my lap for a snuggle, she only blinked once:)</p> <p>Count me in for a body suit, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chouette22-made-me-think-about-my-legs#post-318459 Mon, 21 Mar 2011 20:38:59 +0000 Isabel 318459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know Una, I was just thinking that if someone has an issue with a bruise on your leg you should kick them and see if they bruise ..... : )</p> <p>( I once went to work with a black eye !!! I was taking karate and missed a punch and came around and hit myself , hard. One of my customers called the company because they thought someone was hurting me. The CEO's secretary called me at home.....and she believed me when I told her I had hit myself !! And more recently, I went in for an endoscopy and I had a bruise covering almost my entire foot. The nurse noticed and asked what happened and said they needed to take a picture and document it !!! Now it is permanently in my medical records that I dropped a shampoo bottle on my foot while taking a shower ! At least you are doing something fun !! )</p> <p>ENJOY yourself girl !!!!!!!</p> <p>Stephanie, I got such a chuckle from your full body suit comment. If you find a two for one deal I am sooooo in !!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chouette22-made-me-think-about-my-legs#post-318454 Mon, 21 Mar 2011 20:35:46 +0000 Janet 318454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anna, scars and all, I would kill to have legs like yours! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chouette22-made-me-think-about-my-legs#post-318452 Mon, 21 Mar 2011 20:33:44 +0000 annagybe 318452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have scars from surgeries and various mishaps. My left knee is larger (more swollen, very prominent after a day of skiing) than my right knee, also from an old injury &amp; surgery. I still think my legs are one of my best assets. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chouette22-made-me-think-about-my-legs#post-318448 Mon, 21 Mar 2011 20:29:42 +0000 Jonesy 318448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would think you're sporty and adventuresome! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chouette22-made-me-think-about-my-legs#post-318409 Mon, 21 Mar 2011 19:44:42 +0000 Janet 318409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha! I would think, "Thank god I'm not the only one!" </p> <p>With my pale, pale skin and tendency to bruise easily, it's a banner week if it's one without some kind of battlescar on my legs! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chouette22-made-me-think-about-my-legs#post-318407 Mon, 21 Mar 2011 19:43:09 +0000 Marley 318407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would think - "Now that is my kind of girlfriend!" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chouette22-made-me-think-about-my-legs#post-318402 Mon, 21 Mar 2011 19:36:46 +0000 Mo 318402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not at all.

I do see someone all summer long like that - me !!! I bruise VERY easily so getting hit by son's ball or riding my bike and hitting the pedal and so on, causes bruising. I don't trust people who look perfect : ) Except for Taylor, maybe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chouette22-made-me-think-about-my-legs#post-318373 Mon, 21 Mar 2011 19:01:59 +0000 chewyspaghetti 318373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No, I do it all summer long! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chouette22-made-me-think-about-my-legs#post-318370 Mon, 21 Mar 2011 18:59:28 +0000 catgirl 318370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Scrawny chicken leg issues aside, I have another problem. My legs are all banged up from various scrapes - mountain biking, rock climbing, general clumsiness - and I have quite a few scars and often bruises. I have never been particularly self-conscious about them, but if you saw someone baring their bashed-up legs. would you think anything of it? </p>
