So just hang in there a few decades! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wish-i-was-a-rectangle#post-618370 Sat, 12 May 2012 20:53:03 +0000 Janet 618370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I honestly don't think one needs to be a rectangle for that look! And I say that as someone who frequently wishes I were less pear-ish so I could wear fuller trousers without feeling like my bottom half looks big.</p> <p>If I've learned only one thing from YLF (I've learned a lot more than that), it's TRY IT. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wish-i-was-a-rectangle#post-618243 Sat, 12 May 2012 16:44:56 +0000 Aziraphale 618243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I *am* a rectangle, and I don't think I could pull that off! Maybe if I left the shirt unbuttoned. I like the pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wish-i-was-a-rectangle#post-618134 Sat, 12 May 2012 12:33:11 +0000 Vildy 618134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love those pants, too. I can wear pants with pockets that protrude at the sides, though a little lower is better - I'm flatter hipped from a front view. I used to be a slim modified<br /> hourglass as a young woman and now I think I'm more of an I T </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wish-i-was-a-rectangle#post-618072 Sat, 12 May 2012 05:08:52 +0000 Sharon 618072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I wish this frequently too. Especially when I see the clothes from Dogstar each season. So cool and so totally the wrong shape for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wish-i-was-a-rectangle#post-618067 Sat, 12 May 2012 04:49:19 +0000 ManidipaM 618067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Loving Beth Ann's attitude too! Anne, that photo is priceless! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wish-i-was-a-rectangle#post-618061 Sat, 12 May 2012 04:32:14 +0000 anne 618061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like Beth Ann's attitude too.</p> <p>I'd love to have the figure I had at 17, personally. And thanks to the wonders of social networking, I can show you what that looked like</p> <p>(I didn't normally dress like that - this was a dress up day for the last day of school. And my hair was straight) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wish-i-was-a-rectangle#post-618012 Sat, 12 May 2012 03:01:41 +0000 Amy 618012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your can-do attitude, Beth Ann!</p> <p>That is a cute outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wish-i-was-a-rectangle#post-618009 Sat, 12 May 2012 02:59:11 +0000 Beth Ann 618009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is doeable, if you think outside the box and find your own interpretation. Need longer legs? What are heeled booties in a matching shade for? Feel thick? Try a semi-tuck or loosen the belt and angle it down slightly in the front to shrink the waist. Chesty? open up the neckline. Different skin tone? I'd try this pair of pants with a navy or aubergine top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wish-i-was-a-rectangle#post-617988 Sat, 12 May 2012 02:26:53 +0000 rae 617988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know about the top, but I want those pants! Erm... where might they be from? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wish-i-was-a-rectangle#post-617916 Sat, 12 May 2012 01:38:24 +0000 ManidipaM 617916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What I'd need to be is just as I was at 21... but an IT instead of an hourglass! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wish-i-was-a-rectangle#post-617891 Sat, 12 May 2012 01:18:56 +0000 ironkurtin 617891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not a rectangle, I'm a IT, but close enough to know I'd feel a fool in those, what with not having a waist! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wish-i-was-a-rectangle#post-617879 Sat, 12 May 2012 01:10:03 +0000 Transcona Shannon 617879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous outfit that's for sure. I'd need to be 25 years younger, 6-8 inches taller and 50 pounds lighter myself! Oh ..... and lose my glasses.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wish-i-was-a-rectangle#post-617878 Sat, 12 May 2012 01:08:50 +0000 Fruitful 617878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So I could wear this outfit. I might need longer legs and a different complexion too *sigh* </p>
