All perfectly cut - Victoria Beckham style.
This is the definition of my dream skirt - or one of them at least: so what went through my erratic head to prevent me from running out of the changing rooms, buying it in all haste, smiling to an unimpressed and exasperated rush-hour crowd all the way home?
In a few words: I had a calf attack.
No nothing to do with my muscles melting following intense stiletto-wear. The dress made my calves look the size of my thighs.
I never really worried about my calves: they are toned, and usually barely noticeable. To be honest, I usually have a thunder-thigh panic instead of a thunder-calves panic. How ever even heard of that?
I am not the only one to worry about unusual parts of my body: there are more and more slim-lotions and creams to tone your arms, calves, back, neck and a myriad other places.
I am sure we are slowly sliding towards an LA beauty aesthetic: soon we are going to have to look like a movie star with bleached teeth, on a daily basis.
It is true, the Victoria Beckham cut - just below the knee - can be very unflattering if you have large-ish hips or short legs.
The waist looks fabulous (and so does the buttocks), but it is what I call a profile shape: it enhances you from a side point of view but often not from a front view.
It all depends on the shape you want to achieve.
