Great articles! I've wondered about that "I could never pull that off" comment--like, so, AM I pulling it off, or, um, not? ha haha!

Ok this cracked me up, Ummlila!

Come to think of it, some woman has said EACH OF THOSE THINGS to me at some point or the other And if I'm being honest, I've said many of those things too! For example - " I can never pull that off".....but in my case, I mean it 100% as a compliment.

And since I am being SOOOOO honest, I confess I was about to write just that on Nicki's thread 2 mins back where she' s rocking long long flares with 6" stilettoes pumps! But I honestly wish I *could* pull that off!

I'm guilty of saying "I wish I could pull that off," and it's always coming from a place of admiration, and yes, envy. It usually has something to do with dressing a body type that does not play well with looks that I really admire -- styles that look great on a straighter, slimmer type than mine. It's never, ever intended as a slam against the other person, but I admit, it's coming from a place of insecurity about my own appearance. I hope no one has ever thought I was doing anything other than showing my own weakness.

That said, I was relieved to see the second link -- that is the only one of those things I've ever said to another woman! But a lot of them have been said to me! LOL

I never say any of these and I think I've only had the brave one said to me.

Interesting. I wonder what I could pull off that I discount immediately.

The phrase that hit home for me "I wish I had time for....".I hear this a lot - and often it is about priorities. There are times and people who really have a busy life but so often it is a choice.
