Know Your Body

Wednesday, March 17, 2010
I think that one of the most important things in the fashion world is knowing your body. I know that sounds kind of hokey, but it's true. Knowing your body type can prevent a multitude of fashion faux pas.

For example, take Joe Jonas



The poor guy just doesn't get it. He has big legs; thighs and calves. Rather than a skinny jean, like he's trying to rock, he needs to wear a straight leg, or wider. It's one thing for women to wear jeans that hug their curves, it's an entirely different one for a man to do it.

Others who are notorious for being unaware of their body type:

Mariah Carey



and Jessica Simpson.




They both desperately need to befriend Christina Hendricks.


Because I know my body type, I save myself from fashion disasters such as these:

Why? My legs, my ass...oh man. We don't want to even go there.

I saw a pair of tiny floral print skinny jeans at Levi's the other day. They were so cute. My boyfriend looked at me and I said, "Yes, I know. My ass would look huge." And he said, "It would look like confetti....on your ass."

I wholeheartedly agree.

hahahaha confetti on your ass. love it. is it wrong that joe jonas is my favourite jonas brother? or is it worse that i have a favourite jonas brother. he's a hot youngin, don't hate.

another one - JAMES FRANCO. homeboy should avoid skinny jeans as well.

Mariah and JSimps - dear god. you're spot on there. And I agree, Christina Hendricks has got it down. If she can contain that rack then Jessica and Mariah have NO excuses.

haha confetti on your ass! seriously you are too funny!

and double ha for Niki - it's SO wrong to have a fave Jonas brother!

Poor Jessica - she tries so hard.

Ha, I totally agree with your post! That poor guy definitely needs to get a new pair of pants. The celebs you mentioned have such fluctuating bodies, I don't think they can keep up with themselves in the wardrobe department. Nonetheless, they do need to make smarter choices.

lol cute dialogue b/w you and the boyfriend. but I agree about knowing your body, it's important so you can find clothes that fit right and are comfortable.

Nice post, I'm glad someone else finally criticized a Jonas' sense of style hahaha. I don't see what's so desirable about them!

I love Christina Hendricks, she's so beautiful and so well dressed.

Great blog btw :)
