Maybe by writing them down for the world to see, I'll be able to flirt with them in the stores but not bring them home with me.</p> <p>It's odd the time and effort I'll put into a "bad boy" with little to show for it. As I look at my list, I can see my love for Audrey Hepburn"est" style. But I'm a more an Ann Demeulemeester type. Maybe it's time to start realizing that I need to spend more time with Mr. Right. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-do-we-love-the-bad-boys#post-669820 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 12:49:21 +0000 cinnamon fern 669820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>shift dresses </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-do-we-love-the-bad-boys#post-669809 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 12:03:09 +0000 Claudia 669809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Double breasted jackets and coats.</p> <p>Pleated skirts.</p> <p>The boxy Chanel style jackets.</p> <p>They don't love me or make me feel good about myself, yet have flirted with me for years and I still want to take their calls. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-do-we-love-the-bad-boys#post-669709 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 05:52:01 +0000 Jenava 669709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Drop-waists...Ugh. Anything too short. Long jackets. Those cute, trendy, slouchy, pleat front pants that look so TRENDY on the slim of hip...On me they are supremely atrocious! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-do-we-love-the-bad-boys#post-669695 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 04:42:52 +0000 Anonymous 669695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My bad boys are wrap tops and dresses which I can't fill out. Otherwise I love them but need to leave them to work their charming ways on someone else or I'll hate myself the next morning. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-do-we-love-the-bad-boys#post-669688 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 04:35:14 +0000 Amy 669688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gaylene, your list is exactly what mine would be...although I have had luck with a couple of ballet flats...usually, they hurt my feet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-do-we-love-the-bad-boys#post-669685 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 04:31:54 +0000 ManidipaM 669685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The boyfriend jacket, the shift dress, the A-line skirt or dress, palazzos and other wide or patterned pants... sigh! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-do-we-love-the-bad-boys#post-669677 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 04:26:41 +0000 jayne 669677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>too short skirts and dresses....oh I love dresses and they are almost always cut too short for me...so hard to walk away. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-do-we-love-the-bad-boys#post-669630 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 03:38:40 +0000 Parsley 669630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, Gaylene, you've struck a nerve here.<br /> My bad boys include boyfriend jeans, although I keep trying.<br /> The perfect white shirt- once again I am persistent, but not having much luck.<br /> One of these days I'll face reality. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-do-we-love-the-bad-boys#post-669610 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 03:22:37 +0000 christieanne 669610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One of my favorite bands (and just about the nicest bunch of rockers you will meet) Cracker has a fun song called Mr. Wrong so I am laughing at your use of the phrase. </p> <p>My style Mr. Wrongs may also include the cropped boxy jacket. I loved for a long time but have recently purged all but three. Will see in Fall if they survive the next cut. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-do-we-love-the-bad-boys#post-669606 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 03:17:25 +0000 Gaylene 669606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When I read about CocoLion's recent renunciation of crops, it brought back une femme d'un certain age's blog post on her "bad boys"-- those Mr. Wrong wardrobe choices that make us fall in love, but that don't love us back.</p> <p><a href="http://www.unefemme.net/2012/05/bad-boys.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.unefemme.net/2012/05/bad-boys.html</a><br /> <a href="http://www.unefemme.net/2012/07/bad-boys-updated.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.unefemme.net/2012/0.....dated.html</a></p> <p>My Mr. Wrongs include cropped pants; crisp, button-front shirts; beige trench-coats; floaty, midi dresses; boxy, Chanel jackets; slouchy, boy-friend jeans, and ballet flats. It's not that I haven't tried to make these love affairs work; my closet purges regularly include one or more of these items because, I think, just maybe, THIS time it might work out for us. But, in spite of my best efforts, my love is one-sided. I know I ought to move on, but it's not easy to turn my back on these bad boys.</p> <p>Do you have any bad boys that have grabbed your heart? Have any of you figured out how to walk away when you know deep down he's wrong for you? </p>
