Soxy Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 QUOTE(Steff @ Jul 7, 2005 -> 08:30 PM) Well.. one of the things I have heard and seen is some females abusing what is actually a "capri". Some of them are wearing them at knee length which they consider shorts. Then there are those females who are 5 feet tall and 200lbs trying to fit into a size 2... Then there are some wearing 2" heels with them. It's crazy and ruining it for those of us that wear the tailored ones. That's stupid. As anyone with half an eye for fashion will tell your bosses--those are actually peddle pushers--not capris. Someone buy them a Vogue or something. Although, heels, imo, are a must with Capris--otherwise the calf can look a little bulky--even on a very slim woman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LosMediasBlancas Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 I don't know all the details or all your office politics. but here's my guess based on similar experience. The good looking girl got singled out because she looked good in them and probably caught the men's eyes. The other women in the office noticed it and went crying to someone about it. It wasn't a problem when the 300 lb. women were doing it because no one was checking them out. How's that for a stab in the dark? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to eat a lot of, um, guff at the workplace, this seems like "just-another-day" sort of thing to me. Is there something else charging such a volatile response? "Volatile response"...?

Some have even worn those lace up things that tie up the calf. Looks very tacky. I wear a heel with mine but not that high. More like the slide heels.

However, after seeing the picture I don't know if I like knowing what they are. As for what you said at the end there, my mind went right into the gutter after reading that. Therefore I think I'm out of the running to talk to you that often. Unless you like that sorta of thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
