I can’t find the reference and I’d love to respond </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/horrible-picture-alert#post-21063 Wed, 20 Aug 2008 02:11:59 +0000 anne 21063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank Ellen,</p> <p>Angie, Sorry I didn't mean to hurry you - just I realized that I had buried a "general point" about 7/8 pants in a sort of specific post when I probably should have started a new post. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/horrible-picture-alert#post-21062 Wed, 20 Aug 2008 02:08:16 +0000 Ellen 21062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey, I'd give a lot to have some hips! Don't worry about yours... they look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/horrible-picture-alert#post-21058 Wed, 20 Aug 2008 01:46:57 +0000 Angie 21058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes my dear Anne - you are brave because of the temperature. (I'm trying to get through all the threads.Hopefully soon.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/horrible-picture-alert#post-21057 Wed, 20 Aug 2008 01:44:14 +0000 anne 21057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brave - you mean the temperature Angie? It wasn't that cold maybe about 16 or 17 C. But our heater runs on bottled gas which is extremely expensive so we just put our jumpers and slippers on (and okay sometimes parkas and beanies) except at the colder nights or when we have visitors. The middle of the day are quite clear and sunny at the moment, so the house warms up then.</p> <p>Angie, did you want to respond about the 7/8 pants</p> <p>Everyone - - the pants will go. They certainly don't warant alteration costs </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/horrible-picture-alert#post-21049 Wed, 20 Aug 2008 01:31:57 +0000 Angie 21049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are brave! Hope you're warm right now. Daughter is a cherub </p> <p>The pants will need to go Anne. They do not do lovely you justice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/horrible-picture-alert#post-21036 Wed, 20 Aug 2008 00:43:51 +0000 anne 21036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nicole,</p> <p>I guess I meant my bottom half looks very curvy!</p> <p>My daughter doesn't stay in her dressing gown for very long, but she had just come out of her bath and was very cold. Our house is quite cold - we don't have central heating and I rarely turn our gas heater on. I was cold in that photo - I had only put on the singlet top as it was the closest to the right top length -- not that that was visible anyway </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/horrible-picture-alert#post-21003 Tue, 19 Aug 2008 19:34:32 +0000 Nicole 21003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That photo does not make you look pear shaped, Anne. You can't even see the top half of you, to compare the top to the bottom. I don't care for the pants though--they remind me of Austin Powers.</p> <p>I keep forgetting you're in winter in Austrailia--I remembered it when I noticed how warm and snuggly your daughter was dressed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/horrible-picture-alert#post-20995 Tue, 19 Aug 2008 17:45:36 +0000 Anonymous 20995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is not a horrible picture. You look good, it's the pants that look bad. This is a good example of a pair of pants working against you. We've all been there.<br /> Your daughter is so cute. You are so lucky to have these precious years with a little girl. My baby girl is 30 now! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/horrible-picture-alert#post-20969 Tue, 19 Aug 2008 15:44:39 +0000 anne 20969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the encouragement Tanya. The trousers are definately too short according to PPL. Incidentally I just read this in this Times Online article on fashion trends. What do you think of the 7/8 trend it predicts Angie</p> <p><a href="http://women.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/women/fashion/article4517166.ece" rel="nofollow">http://women.timesonline.co.uk.....517166.ece</a><br /> "Trousers </p> <p>There are a lot of them about: straightlegged, curved-legged, wide-legged, drainpipes, high-waisted. The common denominator: they all end at the ankle (the 7/8th-length), the better to show off a high heel with a concealed platform or a cut-away shoe-boot. They certainly solve the dilemma of what to wear if you can't face this winter's calf-length skirts. " </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/horrible-picture-alert#post-20968 Tue, 19 Aug 2008 15:34:36 +0000 Tanya 20968@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your daughter is adorable And the photo is not horrible at all, you are too harsh on yourself. I think you can do much better than these pants. They are bit too short as well, so I'd let them go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/horrible-picture-alert#post-20964 Tue, 19 Aug 2008 15:21:34 +0000 anne 20964@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I was going to ask you guys if it was worth keeping these pants (the zip is broken) which I quite liked. My daughter leaped up on me as I was taking it and revealed this horrible angle. If there was any doubt in my mind that I am a pear shape, this pic removes it!<br /> <a href="http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm234/anneinoz/pants2.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i297.photobucket.com/al.....pants2.jpg</a> </p>
