I really struggle putting outfits together. I'm a size 16 apple. I know I've failed with an outfit when I get asked when I'm due.</p> <p>Man, I HATE that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/calling-all-apples-post-your-best-outfits-here#post-143733 Thu, 15 Apr 2010 05:32:23 +0000 AJ 143733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tam, those are great examples.

Thank you!</p> <p>Well here are my examples for diverting attention away from my tummy area:<br /> Closely spaced prints keep the eyes moving and not focusing on the one area:<br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/wearabouts_town/4502023256/in/set-72157623168731522/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/w.....168731522/</a></p> <p>Strategically placed stripes and closing just the right buttons on the cardigan:<br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/wearabouts_town/4471272920/in/set-72157623168731522/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/w.....168731522/</a></p> <p>Dark colored cardigans or jackets to hide the side view of the tummy and a long colorful scarf to hide the front view:<br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/wearabouts_town/4434954569/in/set-72157623168731522/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/w.....168731522/</a><br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/wearabouts_town/4462653137/in/set-72157623168731522/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/w.....168731522/</a></p> <p>Sometimes I just resort to the big fluffy scarves:<br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/wearabouts_town/4293355035/in/set-72157623168731522/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/w.....168731522/</a><br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/wearabouts_town/4279516220/in/set-72157623168731522/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/w.....168731522/</a><br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/wearabouts_town/3774784489/in/set-72157623168731522/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/w.....168731522/</a><br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/wearabouts_town/4220495503/in/set-72157623168731522/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/w.....168731522/</a></p> <p>If you are wearing an outer layer with a zipper, zip it just slightly under the top point of where the bulge starts.

It can be an easy way to provide some ideas for any new members, or help to inspire those that may be stuck about what other options they can have.</p> <p>So all you apples out there, come along and post your pictures that best highlight your frame. Cant wait to see you all </p>
