I've kind of learned to lI've with both and wear tight ponte pants sometimes to emphasise it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-5#post-1693341 Wed, 13 Jul 2016 05:34:24 +0000 chirico (Chiara) 1693341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I loved both of Angie's outfit inspiration in the blog. I replied that I usually wear these pants with a fitted top (should post some pics) but I want to try a more fluid top, as in outfit #1. Then I saw her answer to Roxxanna, explaining why she suggested a looser top.<br /> This got me thinking: I am much smaller on top than on bottom, and deliberately choose to pair a fitted top with harem pants - which sounds counter-intuitive, but I think it shows better the fluidity of these pants.<br /> That got me thinking...<br /> Up to a certain point in my life my small shoulders were a pain to look at, in spite of years of swimming! I used shoulders pads well into the 90s to downplay the top/bottom contrast. Then decided I don't care and started wearing smaller tops, and still do. And now I like my shoulders just fine... go figure!<br /> Over to you, have you learned not only to accept, but even to love an "imperfect" part of you? </p>
