Here are a couple posts where Angie describes it.</p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/2015/04/02/ten-ways-to-add-70s-flair-to-your-style/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2015/04/.....our-style/</a><br /><a href="http://youlookfab.com/2015/02/03/revisiting-spring-summer-2015-trends/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2015/02/.....15-trends/</a></p> <p>Some influences are more boho - bell sleeves, peasant tops, suede - but a lot are of the glam/tailored side: fitted button-down shirts, soft drapey blouses, midi skirts, knee-high boots, wrap dresses, and turtlenecks both solo and layered.&nbsp; This trend might give you a great starting point, and you can have fun by playing it up with accessories and shoe styles. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-advice-on-stylish-modest-pear-dressing#post-1604730 Wed, 20 Jan 2016 17:03:07 +0000 Adele Winston 1604730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I lreally ike pencil skirts with drapey sleeved tops a lot. I'm open to fit and flare as long as the flare isn't too much. Just below the knee is perfect.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-advice-on-stylish-modest-pear-dressing#post-1604505 Tue, 19 Jan 2016 22:55:19 +0000 unfrumped 1604505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Boots with a just-below-knee length skirt or dress would look fab. Not sure if you like pencil skirts + nice drapey higher-necked, sleeved tops or sweaters, vs. some of the fit-and-flare type dresses or something. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-advice-on-stylish-modest-pear-dressing#post-1604503 Tue, 19 Jan 2016 22:42:47 +0000 Adele Winston 1604503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ClaraT, I never heard of most of those sites. Can't wait to check 'em out.<br />rachylou, I'd definitely do boots with a skirt or dress. I don't like booties on my me. I feel like they cut my legs and prefer the look of riding boots. I own several beautiful pairs.</p> <p>Thanks Angie, I'll check that out too. I'm in love with this forum!!</p> <p>Adele</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-advice-on-stylish-modest-pear-dressing#post-1603850 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 19:09:11 +0000 Angie 1603850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi, Adele. I was going to direct you straight to the post that Clara did (thanks, Clara).

Would waist-surrendering be too out there? Or for instance, could you do boots and sneakers with a dress? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-advice-on-stylish-modest-pear-dressing#post-1603841 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 18:47:57 +0000 ClaraT 1603841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not Angie, but here is a link she has written about dressing if you are "pear-shaped": <p> <a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/2014/02/20/how-to-dress-the-pear-body-type-2014/">https://youlookfab.com/2014/02.....type-2014/</a><br /> Also, there are several blogs devoted to modest clothing:<br /> <a rel="nofollow" href="http://downtowndemure.com/modest-fashion-directory/">http://downtowndemure.com/mode.....directory/</a><br /> <a rel="nofollow" href="http://momomod.com">http://momomod.com</a><br /> (etc. Google modest clothing blog)</p> <p>&nbsp;Hope<br /> this helps!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-advice-on-stylish-modest-pear-dressing#post-1603781 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 16:13:11 +0000 Adele Winston 1603781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi,<br />This may be an unusual request. I've never signed on to any forum before. I love fashion and color but am struggling to look modest yet stylish as I age. I'm a 5'1" almost 46 yr. old pear. I only wear clothes that cover my collarbone, elbows and knees. (no pants of any sort. Just skirts and dresses.)<br />Usually a 10p/12/p works for me if the length can cover my knees. I like quality fabrics that don't pill. Any tips on work outfits and dressy evening clothes?</p> <p>Thanks,<br />Adele </p>
