Capri pants bare scourge of summer: ‘cankles’

[minniecarousel]

When my Mom has "cankles", I know she's in full-blown Congestive Heart Failure, and it's off to the ER. (so, sometimes it IS a health issue, not just a body type or overweight issue).

I challenge anyone to compare their cankles to mine right now - I am 39 weeks pregnant in July. I slid my sandals off at work this morning and couldn't get them back on.........

However, I am wearing capris right now and really don't care!

He definitely needs a *bro*

No, he needs a mansiere

Gag! I never knew Jack Nicholson was a 40B! Glad I wasn't eating anything when I saw this pic....

I couldn't look away

My favorite line in that whole article? "Great legs actually run in her family."

Do they walk, too? Couldn't resist!
Seriously, do we need another problem to obsess over? Do many guys worry about their ankle width?

 

[BeccaBellePA]

Do people really pay that much attention to other people's cankles? I have never walked past anyone in capris, shorts, or a skirt and immediately look to see if cankles were presenting a problem.

Seriously?

I think it's a ploy. All just a marketing, money-making scheme. And yet, in the back of my mind, I'll probably spend an extra second considering how my ankles now look...

My ankles are doing fine.

I just love the whole "what not to wear" thing... short people, chubby people, people with cankles, this that or the other shouldn't wear capris. Give me a break! Is there ANYthing we can wear that looks flattering if we're not thin and in shape?

I was just going to post that...Please someone call Frank Costanza, Jack has a severe case of droopy moobs!

Don't forget "young"...you need to be "young", too!

You mean the Bro don't you?

 

[MM27]

You mean the Bro don't you?

No, bro's no good. Too ethnic.
How 'bout uh... the mansiere?
That's right. A brassiere for a man. The mansiere, get it?

I admit, I'm a Seinfeld junkie, I know it's sad

But don't you experience a Seinfeld moment in everyday? That show has really stood the test of time.

I can never unsee those moobs

My DH's family is bohemian (Czek) and they all have thick legs and cankles. Big, skinny, or in-between, they have cankles (and they were calling them that before the word became popular). I'm sure my kids will have them, too. You can't escape your genes!
