Fugmore Girls

She has one too many skirts and two few hands.

I was fine, I scrolled, I was fine, I scrolled - OY! THE COWBOY BOOTS!

The green, the pink - it's fun! It's fashion!
The red? No. Sooki should know better.

She makes me long for summer, I actually thought it was a cute ensemble.

I actually kind of like the boots. Just not with that outfit.

Wrap shirts? That tie at the waist? Not a big girls best friend. I'm just sayin.

Aww... I still thinks she's adorable, but it's not the most flattering outfit ever. I like the colours though. She should have gone for either the boots, or the colourful outfit, not both. Pink and red combined rarely is a good idea.

Are she and Ms. Alonso shopping together?

As a big girl, I love the wrap shirts with the tie at the waist. Perfect for showing off my ample cleavage and highlighting my waist.

I just don't do red cowboy boots.
On the other hand, I don't look as good as she does, either. Damn, I need a personal make up artist.

No, really, all these colors together are slimming...

RULE NUMBER 1 - NEVER listen to an idiot stylist - this is a bright and charming young woman whose inner Wintour should have been warning her the minute the Pepto Pink skirt came out. Do love the boots though...

Wow....she's wearing too many textures, too many shades of red....and those boots? FOR SHAME.

Er...how can I put this....once one eats the candy, one should no longer dress like the candy....

she looks like a wad of cotton candy, with an extra dollop of fug

-oy her smile is too cute, i almost feel bad.

She looks like the victim of an explosion in Skittles factory.

Oh dear, that top is just all kinds of unflattering. Yes, wrap tops are flattering for the cleavage and the waist, but ONE MUST HAVE A WAIST TO SPEAK OF. This girl, cute as she is, does not. That fact is just highlighted but the sash digging into her flesh.

Also, the textured, open knit on the arms? Not good for the girl with arm fat. Trust me, I know.

Who decided clothes are supposed to be slimming? If you're not slim, the clothes aren't going to magically make you so.

So go dress up your fabulous diva body, whatever its shape or size. Nothing's fuglier than hiding your inner diva.

She's beautiful and I love her, but what possessed her to put all these pieces on together? Each one alone is great. Together, they suggest that her closet threw up on her and she had to run out of the house before her stylist could clean up the closet-vomit.

Is it just me, or does anyone else have a hankerin' for some watermelon?

I love the boots, but you need to wear something simple and black with a couple of red accessories if you're wearing bright red boots. My love for the boots is hardsly surprising.

Thank you, Manolo!

I think the key thing to remember is that even a tiny girl, say a Peldon for example, would still be fuggin' it up in this outfit. Because, of course, the outfit is fugtastic. Big or small, no one should wear these pieces together... Actually, no one should wear these pieces seperately either... yick.

Wrap tops + shopping at Lane Bryant = Fug

She also looks like a Lilly Pulitzer store exploded nearby.

I was okay with the outfit but not the pairing of it with the red boots. That was one bright color too many--ai yi yi, my cones, my rods! Also, I'm with Southernfug that clothes cannot magically make a person slim. Are bigger girls supposed to creep around all ashamed-like dressed in black because their large bodies must be punished and they do not deserve color? Nay, nay! If you're big you're going to look big, so dress in the colors you like, but for the love of Kirk, do not Also put on your red boots.

I think in the interest of fairness and treating everyone equally, regardless of their ethnicity, religious background, political persuasion, sexual orientation and size, you should not spare the fug. Even if the girl is big. To do otherwise is to be patronizing, and I'm sure that hurts more than the fug. And those boots are awesome.

Oh, honey, no. Not for you, the wrap, the layered skirts, the pink/red/green/red/white/pink/brooch

Holy Crap

Thats a BROOCH? I was hoping it was just a spot on the camera lens. What the hell is it doing there?

The brooch is there to hold the wrap closed. If a plump woman or a woman with any kind of boobage so much as turns to say "hi" to someone while wearing a wrap top, the risk of wardrobe malfunction soars to red alert.

A) Shes wearing a pretty cami underneath, therefore sidestepping any potential wardrobe malfunctions. right?

B) If the brooch is keeping the thing closed, whats the fat-roll-creating tie for?

Being unaware of pop culture, I've never seen this girl before, but gosh, she's cute. Too bad that outfit is so horrid.

It's true that, if you're not thin, clothes won't make you thin. But there are some clothes that just make you look bad -- she looks out of proportion, shapeless, and kind of overwhelmed by all that busybusy fabric. I actually think the boots are cute -- I love a good pair of red boots -- and I'd love to see them paired with a cream skirt and a red jacket or something similar, but not this clingy fluttery floofy mess. She looks like a gumdrop gone wrong.

she has no hands!!!

Clothes may not be able to actually make a woman slimmer, but they sure can make her look fatter. Do the girls who are defending this colorful choice really think the (otherwise adorable) Ms. McCarthy wouldn't look much better with her fabulous red boots, a well-fitted black shift, a fun red/multicolor scarf, and some dangly earrings?

Let's also keep in mind that this woman is 35 years old. No one over the legal drinking age should be dressing like this.

Finally, can someone please explain to me why it's trendy to have your sleeves swallowing your hands? She's hardly the first celebrity to do this lately, and I even saw it suggested as "the new silhouette" or some such in a fashion magazine. I call bullshit. All it is, is bad tailoring.

actually, I think the extra-long sweater sleeve started way back with Grunge in Seattle...

"Clothes may not be able to actually make a woman slimmer, but they sure can make her look fatter.

Gracious Joe - I don't know what the woman would look like in an entirely new outfit. I was just saying that the whole point of getting dressed shouldn't be to "slim" oneself.

I'm so with you on the extra long sleeves thing, though. It makes everyone look like they're in third grade on the first day of school and they're going to start sucking their thumbs any minute.

I have to agree with the outfit being cute; colourful and eccentric but cute, minus the red boots. I also want to say how much I love Melissa McCarthy, I just think she's absolutely beautiful and she tends to dress really well for her body type. You can tell just by looking at her that she's proud of the way she looks and that's attractive.

she looks like a pack of fruit stripe gum- ouch!

Man that skirt is FUGLY!! The outfit would actually be pretty cute if she'd substituted something else for the fug, a well-cut pair of jeans or simple, non-fugly skirt would have made a big difference.

She is cute and she is happy and I’m thrilled that she’s proud of who she is.. but can’t she be proud in a less colorful way? It’s true that clothes can’t make you slim, but why would you want to wear an outfit that makes you look even fatter? It’s kinda like 2 week post partum and 60 lbs heavier Kate Hudson who cut BANGS. I mean, why?!

Style and fashion is all about what is flattering on you, accentuating your positives, and drawing away from your negatives – no matter what size you are. Believe you me, I’ve made an art form out of creatively covering my post-baby tummy.. and that has never involved putting a BROACH on it.

she looks like an upside down hibiscus bloom gone warhol.

that or she's ready to serve up some mean cotton candy at the fug state fair.

Yes, it's the boots that hurt the most. The brooch is also in the wrong place for cleavage-control reasons: being afflicted with a bosom that tends to overwhelm wrap tops myself, I know that it belongs at the V-point of the neckline. Under the breast is simply wrong.

This is all Lane Bryant's fault. They put impossible-to-remove brooches on everything, and in all the wrong spots.

Who is this girl and where are her hands? SuperFug!

Hilariously awesomely funny and talented chicks should be OFF LIMITS!!! Have you guys no shame!? ME HEART MELISSA!

Um, Mickeyjace -- you're missing the point of this blog. No one is exempt, especially if one piles on the fug and *is photographed.*

That said, I've loved Melissa since her giggly turn before Scott Wolf and Jay Mohr in "Go," and I admire the fact that she's brave enough to wear bright colors, but -- no. As someone else wrote here, this outfit would look horrid on a size 2 body of the correct age (which stops at about 30). It's just...icky. Which is a shame, because she really is cute and probably looks good normally.

I must admit to being a Brit, and having no idea who that lady is. What a lovely face she has, and oozes confidence. But an over-bright outfit with a bit too much going on!

i think she looks great. all she needs is a giant hat.

Heh, I giant hat and ginormous, colorful chandelier earrings.

forget the color combination, has anybody noticed that the skirt *alone* is swarming with fug? I love love the top though, wish I could buy one in my size.

hey...this outfit sort of reminds me of those candies in the 80's, what were they called? the watermelon flavor had a green outside and pink center, like candy combos. oh yeah, BONKERS!! anyone else remember those?

Did she borrow the boots from Matthew McConaughey and fashion the skirt from Zsa Zsa Gabor's bathroom blind?

"Let's also keep in mind that this woman is 35 years old. No one over the legal drinking age should be dressing like this"

Yes.
I'm pushing 50.
I'm slimmer (not by much mind you) than this beautiful girl with the lovely smile.
But I wouldn't wear any of this...:-/

Big hat and chandelier earings? You'd have a younger Pat Butcher!http://www.bbc.co.uk/eastenders/eastenders/characters/character_content/character_pat_e.shtml

Girls this size should wear one colour, or two toning colours. Vertical stripes are slimming. Not see-through or rushed arms.

If this model had been wearing a pink dress with those boots she'd have got away with it and we'd be toasting her.

Please remember my personal info!

I forgot to say, did anyone else think this was Geri Helliwell retaining water when the page first loaded?

Cute lady, horrible outfit. And why are celebrities insisting on wearing sweaters with too-long sleeves that appear to have eaten their hands? This is a disturbing trend.

Fug, fug, fug, fug, fug. Fug.

Yes, she's a round woman with a lovely face and a charming persona. But those clothes look like ass. They would look like ass on anyone on Earth.

The sweater: Bad color for her complexion. The pointelle effect is too busy. The wrap doesn't suit her body type. The brooch looks like Harry Winston threw up on her. The Morticia Adams sleeves are a nightmare.

The skirt is a little wacky for me, but it might have worked with a very simple top and boots.

The boots are cute, and would have worked with a simple monochromatic outfit.

Her hair and makeup look pretty, though, which makes her less fugly than Amber Valetta.

watermelon with arms and legs

like a bull collided with a rodeo clown

Stupid! Whoever let her walk out of the house needs to get cracked! HARD!! And what is that article of clothing underneath the Candycane slip? Butcher paper?
How does she hold her script? Hooks??

"Big hat and chandelier earings? You'd have a younger Pat Butcher!"
that's what this outfit reminds me of! pat butcher's makeup! thanks gb that was keeping me up at night.

I don't know who this woman is...but regardless of size, that outfit is fugly. No ifs, ands, or buts. Plus she has "short/long" going on with skirt...that's when you put on an ill fitting skirt and the hem shifts so that its hiked up in the back and longer in the front.

Contrasting colours-pink and green-with the most receding colour at the skinniest part of your body, your feet. Why? Why? Do you really want to look as wide as you are tall? You are a short fat-girl. This is not the thing to do. Have you not heard of this new thing called monochromatic colour? Are you trying to tell us that there isn't a stylist in all the free-world that doesn't know how to dress anyone larger that a size 4?

Call Mia Tyler. She'll tell you. Just put down the bucket of chicken and call.

Hey Dizzy -
Fug the fashion, not the fat.

You're welcome cicelyfairfield, and thank you Jessica & Heather for fixing your bug, the "Post A Comment" thingy is now remembering my details just fine.

:-)

Can't wait for the pictures of the newly engaged Prince of Wales to hit your shores...dare you fug the impending Duchess of Cornwall?

Speaking for fat girls everywhere, fat arms and tight sleeves NEVER never go together in an attractive combination. I don't know if those are made to be too long or if she had to buy a much-too-big shirt to get the upper arms big enough to fit.

There's nothing wrong with dressing FUN even when you're heavier, but when you have a gigantic fat roll being cinched and highlighted by a wrap shirt that has a bow on the fat roll that screams "look at me!!!" and then make the poor choice to put a fuggin' broach on said fat roll just in case anyone didn't already look at your midsection? You lose all sense of fun and go straight to fug.

I say this with the all the love in the world, adding that I could stand to lose a couple myself, but there ARE clothes that heavy women shouldn't wear unless they want to draw attention TO their fat rolls instead of away. And these would be be an example of said clothes. Wrap tops are for hourglass or pear shaped women. Period. This woman is an apple if there ever was one. This outfit just makes her look so roly-poly. And the tight pointelle sleeve screams "Look at my arm!" Outfit highlights GIRTH. And in her case, this is unfortunate.

One has to know their body type and dress for it.

Found a pic of her wearing something way more appropriate to her figure. Look how much better and slimmer she looks in this pic:

It looked like she had been losing weight on Gilmore Girls. WTF?!

When someone her size loses weight, I say more power to them - it is good for their health. Now, when it is someone like Katie Holmes losing weight (and she did, during Dawson's Creek), I have to share your concern.

I love her on the Gilmore Girls. She is adorable. I think she actually lost a little bit of weight. Other than that, this outfit is awful. There is such a thing as too bright.
