Oh no, it isn't just you...my favorite phrase, either to myself or if i'm with someone upon seeing people who have no business wearing what they're wearing is "did they even bother to LOOK in a mirror before leaving the house today?"
I am on the larger side, and i go back and forth between misses and plus sizes, and i used to be guilty of wearing large, baggy, oversized clothes, in the belief that they made me look better. nope...now i wear things that are fitted, tailored and flattering to my body shape, and honestly, without being vain, i look MUCH better than i used to. and there are certain styles and colors i KNOW don't look good on me, so i just avoid them altogether
i work in women's retail, slighty higher-end, and that is one of my biggest challenges when a customer asks how something looks. i try and be diplomatic, when sometimes i just want to scream - "no, it doesn't look good, that's what happens when you try and squeeze 10 lbs of S#$% into a 5 pound bag - now get the proper size and then ask me again" - or they buy things too big - saying they don't want it "tight" - there's a big difference between tight and fitting well.
and finally, today saw something funny - guy walking down the street, no shirt, baggy pants, which were falling down below his entrie ass - he had boxers on, but how on earth can you even walk when your pants hang so low?
