babydoll look! Plueeze!!!

I keep seeing that style in commercials, printed ads, and even Jennifer Love Hewitt is wearing it on Ghost Whisperer. And she looks AWFUL in it, and she has a HAWT bod!

Who will save us from this look???? :scared:

1. Definitely not a good look for anyone over 12!
And I've even seen some Prom dresses!

4. What is the baby doll look?
Is that the "I'm a child whore" look, or are they different?

8. Do the 'graphics package' look instead perhaps ???
I've taken to dressing in a style that is sort of influenced by playing with CorelDraw 7 for a few years. More specifically the two-color fill function of that package.

So I wear trousers (the most important bit IMO, they control the look) that have patterns and lots of color.
Combat trousers in red, yellow, blue, orange, grey, green and brown are my main trousers so far, but I have recently aquired yellow, punky with lots of zips 'Rupert Bear' trousers.

To go with them I have lots of stripy tops and other patterns. I havn't found any Spots yet but I will do.

10. Yeah, but I'll bet you'd look hot in it if you did wear it, though.
I remember when people thought Twiggy's ultra-thin look was the bomb.

I was never that impressed with stick-thin models.
Twiggy was cute, but she would have looked better with a few more pounds on her frame.
