The time of being a young Mom was many years ago for me but I still remember those challenges. Some days just getting a shower was a big accomplishment!</p> <p>I look forward to seeing more of you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-de-lurker#post-1055525 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 15:07:05 +0000 eds 1055525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi, Meegs, I think we have a similar body shape... I am most definitely a pear, with a strong shoulder line. I consider that my saving grace!&nbsp; Accepting the way I was built was life changing... now it is a matter of finding clothes that work, not beating myself up.

I don't think of myself as an hourglass because I'm small-chested, but my shoulders are essentially as broad as my hips. Makes it tricky to fit tops - if the fit my shoulders, they are often sadly baggy across the bust! I'll read up on the hourglass silhouette! And post pics once I become an active member! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-de-lurker#post-1055083 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 02:50:42 +0000 Jaime 1055083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome Meegs!

Thanks for telling us a little about yourself. And welcome!&nbsp;<br />I heard (or read, actually) Angie say once that pears are the opposite of ITs and that they can't be confused--but I think I know what you're saying. If you take your shoulders out of the equation--like many body type tests do--you test positive for "pear", lol, but since you have that strong shoulder line, as long as it's about the same as your hips, I'll be you're an hourglass. Post some pics after you become an active member and we'll help you decide. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-de-lurker#post-1055065 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 02:39:31 +0000 kellygirl 1055065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome!

Like many of the other new people, I've been reading for a while and finally decided to join in. I'm a stay-at-home mom to a preschooler, and have decided I'm finished being frumpy (and am rested enough to finally care)! I'm a pear shape with an IT shoulder line (if that's even possible??), and I want to celebrate what I've got instead of bemoaning my proportions. And mostly, I want to feel like I look like ME when I leave the house. Can't wait to get to know you all! </p>
