I don't think I like 'skinny' anything. I was never skinny nor tall (or even average height!) so most of the fashions never looked good on my as they did on the models. When I was younger I wanted to look like those models, and I wanted to wear all the latest fashions. As I matured, I developed my own style, which is still evolving and often depends on how I feel that day. I tend to like bright colors and comfort above all else. I know what looks good on me so that's what I buy. Since I am short and a little overweight, most of what's in style makes me look frumpy or rounder and shorter, so I don't even pay attention to the latest 'in thing' to wear. I do get frustrated if I try to buy something new and can't find anything that looks good on me, so I tend to stick with thrift and consignment stores.
