I don't know why people think that adding mass to the lowest part of their body is flattering. And for some reason, it's mostly girls who are a little on the thicker side who insist on wearing things that barely look passable on super skinny chicks. For the record, I am a little on the thicker side.
Take the slouchy boot, for example.
It has its place, I will admit. Kate Moss can rock it in its designer form (but then again she can rock anything, including a drug addiction and a skanky boyfriend). I do like the slouchy boot and wish that I could pull them off myself. However, I am aware that I do not have super skinny legs. It's much more flattering for me to have ankles than to have cankles, and therefore I choose not to add mass to this area. I also choose not to wear sweater dresses because they add mass to my middle. I have enough mass there, thanks. I won't even get started on horizontal stripes and my ass.
Another bad idea: the mukluk. You're not just adding mass, you're practically adding another mammal to your frame.
Sometimes with tassels. Ouch.
