I don't disagree with the OP. I'm not thin, I'm not in shape and I would never dream of wearing short tops, painted on jeans or go braless. Today while sitting at a Dunkin Donuts, a woman a bit older than me (I'm assuming) and of no discernable shape came in, wearing a tank top whose strap was falling down, had no bra on, her boobs a few inches lower than should be for being braless, capri sweats and flip flops. Maybe it's just me, but when going out in public, a little pride and the desire to not hurt someone's eyes is in order.
I don't think she's talking about wearing something that doesn't fit like it's tailored, she's talking about women who are an obvious size 20, but think they're a hot size 6. If someone has more that one knee per leg and a big enough middle to look like the top of a souffle, then probably a baby tank and Daisy Dukes are not for them. How is it self-respect to look like a clown?
And I'm betting that the ones the most outrageously done up and getting stares think the stares are because they look good....We once saw a girl wearing a thong bikini and had more cellulite holes in her flat ass than a brick of swiss cheese. The snickering that was going on as she walked by was, in itself, hysterical, and the more heads whipped around in disbelief the prouder her strut got. It was classic comedy and that girl was clueless.
It's not conceited to want to look good in public and I've heard the "I dress for myself, no one else" argument-so do I, but I also don't want people gagging as I go by. I'm sure you don't go out in a ratty old tshirt, sweatpants and slippers either.
And it's not just heavy set women. Thin women are guilty of different transgressions, but no less eye-hurting.
