I don't know anyone who looks good in one. Last lady's night out I went to with friends one of our friends wore one - she's had 3 kids and is 27 years old. It just looked like she was trying too hard. :bummed: </p> <p>I don't really think anyone past 20 can really, truly pull one off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stylefashiontrend-you-just-cant-pull-off#post-2338708 Thu, 29 Oct 2015 11:19:29 +0000 rachiecakes 2338708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: I think so - something more tailored and in a darker shade. </p> <p>@PawPrints: @Caly: all the holiday sweaters at JCrew and the Gap last year were waaaay shorter than previous years. I wouldn't say "crop top" but above waistbands. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stylefashiontrend-you-just-cant-pull-off#post-2338705 Thu, 29 Oct 2015 11:15:32 +0000 Caly 2338705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: I have a couple pair but skinny jeans definitely aren't my go-to or favorite. By the time I catch up &amp; get comfortable w/the bootie trend, they'll probably be long over with! :silly: </p> <p>@Synchronicity: I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't look good with tucked in shirts...I just doesn't look right on me.</p> <p>Wait, crop tops are a thing now? I saw two people just yesterday wearing short tops and I thought it was a rather unfortunate coincidence. Let just say, it wasn't becoming on them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stylefashiontrend-you-just-cant-pull-off#post-2338703 Thu, 29 Oct 2015 11:14:47 +0000 PawPrints 2338703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not convinced that booties work on anybody. </p> <p>I don't get the talk about crop tops? Who on earth is wearing crop tops in 2015? In late *October*? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stylefashiontrend-you-just-cant-pull-off#post-2338692 Thu, 29 Oct 2015 11:11:29 +0000 looch 2338692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: Maybe you need a style that has some stretch in it, so it looks a little less "workshirt."</p> <p>I don't think I could pull off mermaid hair. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stylefashiontrend-you-just-cant-pull-off#post-2338691 Thu, 29 Oct 2015 11:10:50 +0000 Eko 2338691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely crop tops and what I consider really trendy pants, like the MC Hammer pants or jumpsuits or rompers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stylefashiontrend-you-just-cant-pull-off#post-2338658 Thu, 29 Oct 2015 11:02:44 +0000 catlady 2338658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Short boots. I am really short and have "athletic" calves, so most short boots come up too high and make me look really stumpy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stylefashiontrend-you-just-cant-pull-off#post-2338657 Thu, 29 Oct 2015 11:02:36 +0000 rachiecakes 2338657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ineebee: I feel like unless you have a delicate collarbone, a tan and nice arms strapless looks weird. My arms are my #1 insecurity. I don't like wearing strapless because it makes my chest and arms just look like a ton of pale skin, haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stylefashiontrend-you-just-cant-pull-off#post-2338653 Thu, 29 Oct 2015 11:01:18 +0000 BandDmommy 2338653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Booties and crop top </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stylefashiontrend-you-just-cant-pull-off#post-2338650 Thu, 29 Oct 2015 11:00:19 +0000 rachiecakes 2338650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ShootingStar: I just have the lighter chambray and looks to boxy/casual, even with a cardigan or accessories.<br /> Today I tried to pair my light chambray button down with a structured black skirt, black tights. Rolled up the sleeves and added a chunky necklace, but no.. not cute, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stylefashiontrend-you-just-cant-pull-off#post-2338639 Thu, 29 Oct 2015 10:55:28 +0000 Greentea 2338639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I struggle to find the right knee high boots. I am really tall and my legs make up most of it, I think they are a record or something, so some knee high boots come up about half my leg! Also, I feel like if they are tight I look like Peter Pan, and if they are loose they look gigantic. I just think some styles are better suited for petite people, like skinny jeans in general, but it is possible I just haven't found the right boots. I have a lot of them though... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stylefashiontrend-you-just-cant-pull-off#post-2338629 Thu, 29 Oct 2015 10:53:04 +0000 ShootingStar 2338629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: I think light chambray is fine. Try out what you have and see how you feel in it 😊. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stylefashiontrend-you-just-cant-pull-off#post-2338610 Thu, 29 Oct 2015 10:46:06 +0000 ineebee 2338610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Strapless dresses. I can't put my finger on what it is. I'm small-busted, but I know plenty of women with that feature who look awesome in strapless dresses. Something about the dimensions of my chest make strapless dresses look terrible! Of course both of the weddings I was in in the last couple years the bridesmaids dresses were strapless. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stylefashiontrend-you-just-cant-pull-off#post-2338607 Thu, 29 Oct 2015 10:43:51 +0000 LuLu Mom 2338607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Crop top, I have an odd placed belly button so even if I just wanted a "sliver" of skin showing my belly button is there and it's weird. </p> <p>And hole-y jeans, I know this isn't for everyone but I love them, but I feel like they look cute on other people but ridiculous on me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stylefashiontrend-you-just-cant-pull-off#post-2338605 Thu, 29 Oct 2015 10:43:22 +0000 pwnstar 2338605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: I was just going to ask the same question - how do you accessorize? For me, it's all about the belt (like a calf hair animal print belt, studded/perforated belt, etc.). If it's a dress, whatever belt you wear can add pattern/texture and pull in the color of your boots/shoes (or even hat). For shirts, adding visual interest through jewelry is great because it doesn't add to the bulk of the shirt and overwhelm your frame. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stylefashiontrend-you-just-cant-pull-off#post-2338602 Thu, 29 Oct 2015 10:42:08 +0000 NCSUchick27 2338602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Scarves. I never know what to do with them and I always feel like they are suffocating me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stylefashiontrend-you-just-cant-pull-off#post-2338599 Thu, 29 Oct 2015 10:40:35 +0000 chopsuey 2338599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@DillonLion: hahaha same. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stylefashiontrend-you-just-cant-pull-off#post-2338596 Thu, 29 Oct 2015 10:39:22 +0000 rachiecakes 2338596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ShootingStar: I'm willing to try again :) thank you!<br /> maybe I need to go with a darker shade of chambray? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stylefashiontrend-you-just-cant-pull-off#post-2338580 Thu, 29 Oct 2015 10:33:40 +0000 ShootingStar 2338580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: How do you style the chambray dress? I'd do a scarf, tights and boots. If it's cold, maybe a boyfriend sweater with it. Kind of like a mashup of these 2:<br /> <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/24699497932724119/" rel="nofollow">https://www.pinterest.com/pin/24699497932724119/</a><br /> <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/44754590021182588/" rel="nofollow">https://www.pinterest.com/pin/44754590021182588/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stylefashiontrend-you-just-cant-pull-off#post-2338579 Thu, 29 Oct 2015 10:33:40 +0000 ms.line 2338579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Shift dresses or boxy tops. I love edgy, minimalist clothes, but I'm really hourglass-y, and I just look frumpy and baggy in straight lines. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stylefashiontrend-you-just-cant-pull-off#post-2338569 Thu, 29 Oct 2015 10:30:46 +0000 rosegold 2338569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: a what??</p> <p>can't wear certain colors, like yellow or magenta. they make me look so pale. my mil has these skinny, pointy shoes in bright colors and i feel like i would look weird in them while she looks awesome. strapless dresses make my shoulders look boxy and my boobs look weird. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stylefashiontrend-you-just-cant-pull-off#post-2338565 Thu, 29 Oct 2015 10:29:31 +0000 Synchronicity 2338565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: I'm so with you! I love chambray button-downs and tunics but I have a couple of shirts that I never wear outside of the house because I look dumpy in them! </p> <p>I also can't pull off the tucked in shirt look... even partially tucked in. I think it can look super cute and put together, but I always look like I'm trying too hard. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stylefashiontrend-you-just-cant-pull-off#post-2338563 Thu, 29 Oct 2015 10:28:53 +0000 youboots 2338563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Everything? I'm not much of a trendy person. I wish I could wrangle a bad ass top bun. But, no, sadly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stylefashiontrend-you-just-cant-pull-off#post-2338561 Thu, 29 Oct 2015 10:27:44 +0000 rachiecakes 2338561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@DillonLion: same! I think you have to be an hourglass (no matter what size) to pull off a crop top. My midsection is like a block, haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stylefashiontrend-you-just-cant-pull-off#post-2338560 Thu, 29 Oct 2015 10:27:33 +0000 snowjewelz 2338560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still haven't jumped on the bootie wagon yet and it's gonna be too cold to soon haha (at least to do the show a little skin way). </p> <p>I also could not pull off the soft pants look; looked like I was in sweats/PJs no matter what I wear them with! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stylefashiontrend-you-just-cant-pull-off#post-2338556 Thu, 29 Oct 2015 10:26:14 +0000 rachiecakes 2338556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Caly: yes! it looks so cute on everyone, why can't I make it work? haha</p> <p>can you do skinny jeans? I found that I can do booties with skinny jeans if I roll them up a bit but that's it. They cut off my short legs with tights or leggings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stylefashiontrend-you-just-cant-pull-off#post-2338552 Thu, 29 Oct 2015 10:25:22 +0000 DillonLion 2338552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Crop tops? My mid-section is the last place I want to show off. Ha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stylefashiontrend-you-just-cant-pull-off#post-2338543 Thu, 29 Oct 2015 10:22:15 +0000 Caly 2338543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Weird, I loove chambray! For me, it's booties. They're cute and look great on people but for some reason don't think I could pull them off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stylefashiontrend-you-just-cant-pull-off#post-2338521 Thu, 29 Oct 2015 10:17:19 +0000 rachiecakes 2338521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For me, chambray. </p> <p>I have a chambray button down and a chambray dress and I try and try again and I just think I look like I'm going to paint someone's house. I cannot make it look stylish no matter how hard I try...<br /> What do you think I'm doing wrong? </p>
