I think this problem is not just with "us." Many GGs fall for this fashion model image dilemma too. Take a look around and see how often you see so many people just terribly dressed. Best example I can think of is me and a friend were at a bar one night, and the waitress had on a tank top with a gut and back fat hanging out the edges. How on earth could she think this looked good on her? If we dont already know, I think its so important to do your research on body type and face type to determine what will actually look good on you if your intention is to blend. Yes I like to wear a mini mini mini skirt, but the reality is I just don't have the body for it.

Example:
1. I am tall at 5'11" - I never never wear really short skirts or dresses because they make my body look out of wack. A mid length skirt or dress minimizes the height.

2. I tend to buy more a-lines because is flares out more and gives me more shape with out the pads.

3. I love heals, but I keep them on the shorter side for the same reason.

4. I have big feet (size 12w), Clearly wearing open toe shoes will accentuate this.

I could list a 1000 different ones, but what it comes to is that I would hate to spend money on something that just doesn't look right. I personally have spent hours reading to minimize my male appearance. Do yourselves a favor. before you buy that dress do your research. You will be so much happier if you focus on fashion thats right for your body rather that what looks good in a magazine or a mannequin.
