NEED fashion help, footless tights VS leggings, VS panty hose, VS humm what else is...

Thanks Kim, I think you were typing this as I was typing my question.   I believe I know what you are talking about, I personally think I'm over the hhill for these no matter how much I lose...

You're welcome!   I love fashion and hate the thought that there will be a day where I'm not wearing short shorts and short skirts but I know that day will come ...

I do think there are some fashion rules for all of us, but mostly I think it's a case of wearing what makes us feel sexy, chic and comfortable

I have several friends on here that I have spent time with IRL and I am 100% blamed for "styling" them and igniting their cross addiction for fashion - it's amazing to see my girlfriends embracing boots and leather jackets and short skirts with tights etc when they NEVER thought they would do it when they were 350lbs ...

I love clothes....but I am a grandma of of four, soon to be 6, so I think I'll age gracefully...I had my day 

Leggings are NOT trousers and must have a top/sweater that comes to at least mid thigh ...

this x a million! it's probably my number 1 pet peeve

I have to ask a stupid question .........what are leggens??  Are they those thingys thar go from knee to ankle?   Don't laugh, but I too have not wor a dress for years  (except my children's weddings).

In order of thickness:   hose, sweater tights, leggings, jeggings, pants.   The ones that go from knee to ankle are leg warmers ...

Hi, good for you...I   am proud of you for going to dances and trying out new things.  First, you can still wear a short slip under the lighter weight skirt.  You do need something a bit dressier for a dean martin dinner dance.  I dont know how old you are but you need a pretty black ****tail dress.   Or any color.  Something that makes you feel sexy.  You could let your hippie personality come out with a neat necklace or pretty shawl.  Or  you could find a retro dress like a shirtwaist from that time and go with that.   The whole mad men early 60's era is so trendy now.  Splurge on a pretty dress and go to JC Penny or Macys.  When they have one day sales you can get great deals.  You have worked hard to get here, now treat yourself to something that makes your outside match how good you feel on the inside.  If you lived in GA i have stuff you could borrow.

Good luck and enjoy the fun times ahead.
