  • Does this girl sound beautiful?

    Additional Details

    The phrase "words cannot describe" applies to this girl (to me). I know she is beautiful, but i want another person's opinion. hmm, where to start? She's a bit taller than a normal girl. She is very athletic, so she has like no fat, but she is no where near anorexic by any means! and she has very long legs! Her eyes are a dark brown/ auburn mix. Very unique and beautiful eyes. She has straight, long, black hair. She also has a few freckles on her face and she has pale-ish skin. She looks strangely familiar to Violet, from the incredibles. Just real. By no means am i judging this girl off of what answers i get, but i just want other people's opinions on this.

  • Why am I so afraid of wearing nice clothes?

    Fashion & Accessories - 11 hours ago

    Additional Details

    This might sound kind of dumb but I'm 17 and I feel SO uncomfortable wearing nice clothes/outfits. I'm skinny and I like my body but I only wear boring clothes like a white t-shirt and jeans. I only wear white and black shirts. I never wear color except on my jeans. I never dress up and wear something cute like a halter top and shorts that match. I tried wearing a dressy outfit once but I literally felt like crying and felt so weird. It's like I'm afraid that people are going to be starting at me or something (not in a good way). What is my problem seriously?

The best summer dress for your shape

From super-short to ankle grazing, this season's best offerings include crafty embroidery and metalllic flair.

Petite

This Bohemian-inspired tunic is great for smaller figures. The loose cut adds volume, creating curves when cinched with a belt. Dress it down with leggings.

Busty

This dress has a streamlined shape but still offers ample room for a full bosom, and the striking metalwork at the neckline draws the eye upward.

Tall and Slim

As long as it's not too loose, a floor-skimming dress flatters a lean silhouette. Go for a cheerful print - its versatility goes from daytime chic to nighttime glamour.

Pear

Choose dresses that are fitted through the bust and have vertical pleating that flows over the hips. Throw on a pretty pashmina if you don't want to show your arms.

Apple

Create an hourglass shape with a fitted, solid-colour dress. The seaming creates a sexy waistline and the beaded neckline draws attention away from any fullness below.

    it's hard to imagine what you're saying. it'd be better if you left us with pictures/images of the clothes fit to any type of shape.
