An apple, wow! I did wonder, but was hoping not. That's the mostly unhealthy shape to have (in terms of CV risk) . And I'm not even a big-boobed apple either, so I don't even have that going for me!!!</p> <p>As for the jeans I'm just going to have to make do with them now since I only had 7 days to return them. Luckily they are comfy at least!!</p> <p>Thanks though, that definitely makes me shift my perspective a fair bit!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-body-shape-request-skinny-jeans-opinions#post-31503 Tue, 21 Oct 2008 15:03:51 +0000 Dani 31503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello! Thanks for posting pictures! I'm no expert on body shape, but Angie and Tanya have you sorted so I just thought I'd say welcome. I agree with Tanya on the jeans, a higher rise would work wonders </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-body-shape-request-skinny-jeans-opinions#post-31498 Tue, 21 Oct 2008 14:56:06 +0000 Tanya 31498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Tamara, I'd also say that your shape is apple. And welcome to the forum!</p> <p>I agree with you on the jeans. I think I might try another model which has a higher rise and is possibly a size smaller. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-body-shape-request-skinny-jeans-opinions#post-31493 Tue, 21 Oct 2008 14:49:02 +0000 Angie 31493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome Tamara and thanks for posting pics. You are apple shaped. Hope that helps! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-body-shape-request-skinny-jeans-opinions#post-31467 Tue, 21 Oct 2008 07:00:53 +0000 yublocka 31467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi all,</p> <p>I'm hoping you guys can help me out with my body shape! I'm pretty sure I'm a rectangle because I have no boobs or waist, but just wanted some feedback from others.</p> <p>Why I'm not 100% sure is that I also wonder if I'm an apple. Unfortunately I'm 5kg over where I feel comfortable atm, and all that weight is on my gut and upper back. Even when I was 5kg lighter I still had a tummy. Meeh!</p> <p>I also wonder if I'm an inverted V. My shoulders are a couple of cm wider than my hips I think (maybe 1-2 inches). So not fully sure. Your thoughts appreciated!!</p> <p>So here goes: my photos. Sorry about the terrible quality, have never tried "self-shots" using the timer before!</p> <p>Front view: <a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3196/2961100008_e07536fe99.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://farm4.static.flickr.com.....36fe99.jpg</a></p> <p>Size view: <a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3006/2960259395_be43be9fef.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://farm4.static.flickr.com.....be9fef.jpg</a></p> <p>Please excuse the messy room and bike helmet hair - ugh!!</p> <p>Also as I mentioned <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2008/09/29/clamdiggers-with-knee-high-boots/#comment-32682">in my first comment a while back</a> I've finally jumped on the skinny trend bandwagon. I'm wearing mine in these pics. Do you think they look ok or are they making my thighs look big (I'm very self-conscious about joining this trend!)</p> <p>Looking at these photos of the jeans the crotch area seems to be a bit baggy if anything. They are stretching as I wear them, making me wonder if I should have gone a size smaller. Hopefully they'll shrink with washing! Also I can't wear them without a belt as they gradually fall down - is that because of the stretch in the denim. I need to go and buy a new belt - I only own 2 and they are both dying!!!</p> <p>Input much appreciated!</p> <p>tamara </p>
