Okay, i'm going to a club in just under 2 weeks, i'm shopping for what to wear.. now the last 2 times i've been out to a club, i've worn jeans, and i Really Really want to wear a skirt.
Only trouble is, i hate my legs.
I'm an average size 10-12, and 5.7 in height, so fairly okay proportioned, but i have a complex about my legs, technically my thighs.
For as long as i can remember, i've had some sort of marks on my legs, i have stretchmarks (i haven't had ANY kids, and i'm told thats the only reason you get them?) 0_0 - And i am also Dreadfully pale, i mean, i look like something thats been dead for weeks.
I do have long legs, but every time i look in a mirror, they look chubby, and i can see celulite, even though i'm still in my teens.
Anyway, if anyone could give me any tips...?
-Additional info- What i'm intending to wear, and calf length black boots, Hopefully a black mini-skirt, and a nice top, with acessories etc.-

First off, stretchmarks are found when weight has been put on then lost or just put on(I have stretchmarks and I am a guy so... no babies here)
I would.......
First: go tanning so your legs aren't pale. This will do two things, make your legs look thinner and it should hide some of the stretchmarks.
Next: Find a skirt that is short, but not too short(Unless you want to look like a whore!) I would get one that goes about 2 or 3 inches above the Knee(at most 4 inches above)
Finnally: Don't worry about your thighs, just enjoy the club. knowing you look sexy.
Good luck!

Well, you can always go to a mystic tanning salon and get your legs tanned - it will help hide the imperfections. As for a short skirt, sure go ahead and sport one just make sure it's not micro mini maybe a couple inches above the knee and if you wear heels, the chuckier and with a little platform help make your legs look thinner, and the thinner the stiletto the chunckier the legs look so try and wear the latter then the thinner ones so you see what I mean. If you can get your hands on some long boots with the chucky heel and small platform that would work too.
Good luck and don't worry - you're being too self concious but I understand 'cause I'm like that too. Just relax and have fun - dance a lot!!!

Since stockings and nylons at a club are just ridiculous, with the black skirt and black books try a nude fishnet. I got some sexy ones from Victorias Secret that even have that black seam up the back. Find some bootie shorts, I suggest wearing super light gstring, then put on the nude fishnets, then put on black bootie shorts over top of the 'panty hose' so that you're not constantly pulling up your 'panty hose' all night long. nude fishnets I think would be the best way to go, wtih the black seam up the back it'll also draw the eye up and down instead of just leave it in one place.
Example: (it's in black the picture though, but I say nude color because with a mini skirt black will just look too skanky)

I'm sure your legs look fine, we all have our insecurities about something. Your outfit sounds fine, but I would recommend using a tanning lotion (Neutragena works well) on your legs, This will make them appear slightly thinner and minimize appearance of strecth marks all while moisturizing your legs as well.
BTW, stretch marks are caused by grow spurts and dry skin, many ppl have them who have never had kids. Don't worry too much. Have fun at the club!!

You'll look best if you walk in with confidence. Beyond that, make sure your skirt is not too short and if you must, maybe you can wear cute leggings with your skirt in a plain flattering color. THat will look nice and if you wear darker opaque leggings/tights with the higher boots you'll have a lengthening, slimming effect.

I'm a guy and it sounds to me like you are being unnecessarily self-critical. Has anybody ever said to you, "I don't like your legs and I think they are ugly?" Even if they have, that doesn't mean every guy will reach that conclusion. I agree that often, extremely obese women don't have attractive legs, but you don't sound that big, so just relax about it okay? I suspect some guy will actually LIKE your legs if you wear a skirt. CALM DOWN!!!

Try a longer skirt, or even try dark stockings/leggings. Look in Vogue for fashion inspirations and find a celeb who has a similar body shape (like Beyonce) and look at skirts she wears. Don't give up, have faith!

I'd say wear the skirt, and be proud of who you are! Make sure a few days before you do some kind of tanning, and you'll look great! Have fun!!! : )

I think you are probably harder on yourself than you think.
I am sure you look fantastic!
Also, I always seem to find wearing black stockings/tights to make my legs look slimmer and longer.
