What Not To Wear
Do any of you ladies watch the show "What Not To Where?" It's on the TLC channel....
I LOVE this show and there was one day where I did absolutely nothing and watched a marathon of it. (I know I need a life at times). I get so many hints on how to wear clothes, how to look slimmer, etc. The transformations are really incredible and who doesn't want $5000.00 that they give you to shop. My goodness Id be in hog heaven!!

I've never seen it Sheryl. Sounds like a very interesting show though!

But the way they take away everything you already have! I have a few things that were my mother's I will not part with! I always want them to do someone like me, who can't wear heels. How do you take a gimpy old gal like me and find shoes and clothes that make me look like a pro with my limits?

I don't usually watch those shows...to tell the truth, I get so down from watching them. Maybe if I had my weight off it would feel better about watching it. They make everyone look really good, but none that I've seen have been my size. Then again...even if they did have one my size, I wouldn't be able to go out and purchase the clothes....I'd need the money they give away...LOL

Janet, the program we get here is for all people, big/small, tall/short ~ i most definatly do NOT believe it's only thin people that can look good. A nice "full" lady made up, is very attractive to me.
It doesnt have to cost a fortune to look good girl, and i promise, it makes you feel much much better, if you need help, or anything, i know Sheryl, and myself are very willing to help you with whatever.

Janet - The show caters to women "real figured" at that and takes outfits that really do work on "everyone's body". I think this is what I respect so much about the show...Is they don't take this junior size 1 body and do it over. It's all about real women.
And Katepoet - They dress you from top to bottom and many of the women are NOT wearing heels. In fact, many are just in kitten heels. The majority of mature women cannot wear long sexy heels and they really understand this. Also, giving up the majority of your own wardrobe (which to most isn't a big deal) is a huge teaching tool of theirs to "redo" your old habits. Besides, they give you $5000.00 to shop, how cool is that? LOL

Oh Mandy..you are so sweet. I just meant that whenever I watched "What Not To Wear" it was always thinner people..so I just quit watching it. I've seen make-over shows that have had heavier women on and they ended up looking great. I just don't have the knack for style or anything like that. AND what someone else thinks looks good on me..I cringe..probably because I'm not use to being in style...lol...just comfortable. I would love a makeover like they do on TV, but chances are zero to none that will ever happen. You know something else to think of, what looks good in the heavier populated cities just doesn't really cut it in a central Indiana farming community. LOL...they would probably haul me off to the funny farm.

This year, the show seems to have added all sorts of body types. I don't catch it often these days but it is entertaining!

I have watched it a few times. I love clothes and putting things together to make an outfit. I do make overs in my head when I'm out. Most people who don't look great can look really good if they'd change a couple of things about their hair, clothes, whatever.
Everybody has a special beauty. I'd love to do makeovers.

I have a friend who tries to keep up with the fashions and, to me, she really stands out from everyone else. I keep thinking that when she grows old she's going to look back at pictures of some of the things that she's worn and she's going to have a really good laugh!!!!! I swear that now she's wearing a pair of boots that the toes are a good 4 inches longer than her foot really is! I have a hard time not laughing!!!! If I ever do I'll be in BIG trouble!!!!!!
