It was just that you said "sometimes I think" which sounds to me like wondering.<br /> I wanted to say on the other thread (but won't, because I don't want to bump it when you have closed it) that one of the things I appreciate on your blog is how many more things you have told me I can wear then I thought before. I think I can "get away" with a lot more than I previously thought. (Just sometimes I have moments of self doubt and think I am just being a fraud)</p> <p>I love how you can look at a style and see if it is likely to suit someone before they put it on (not always, I know, but often) I am trying to learn this from you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-too-boxy-for-a-rectangle#post-60044 Fri, 10 Apr 2009 23:54:26 +0000 Angie 60044@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bobs your Uncle, Cricket. (It seems I say that to you quite frequently!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-too-boxy-for-a-rectangle#post-59966 Fri, 10 Apr 2009 16:51:29 +0000 Christie 59966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think its great, Angie, that you are right between two of your own categories. It shows how body typing is just a place to start. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-too-boxy-for-a-rectangle#post-59947 Fri, 10 Apr 2009 15:32:47 +0000 Angie 59947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wouldn’t say that “I wonder” Anne :0). I’m slap bang inbetween two of my own body type categories and probably an “I” in Imogen’s book. I have been like this forever. The semantics of it really doesn’t matter though, because through lots of trial and error, I know which silhouettes Iook best and that’s the crux. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-too-boxy-for-a-rectangle#post-59924 Fri, 10 Apr 2009 14:13:11 +0000 hanna 59924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>go with the first one! gorgeous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-too-boxy-for-a-rectangle#post-59911 Fri, 10 Apr 2009 13:02:11 +0000 anne 59911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie - interesting that you wonder about your body type too! (You do look more rectangly in the shapeless tops I think) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-too-boxy-for-a-rectangle#post-59888 Fri, 10 Apr 2009 03:11:33 +0000 Angie 59888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Spot on, Maya. Rectangles do wear shapeless garments best – I can personally vouch for it. (Sometimes I think I’m more of a rectangle than a straight hour glass. Sort of slap bang in between). I’m rambling. Back to Kyle. </p> <p>I think you’ll wear both items well my dear Kyle, especially with your height. It’s amazing how Kyle’s statuesque body type has changed over the last 6 months. She has gone from rectangle with pear tendencies to 100% rectangle after eating MORE food and losing weight. People who say that your body type will never change need to come check out what’s physically happening on this site! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-too-boxy-for-a-rectangle#post-59870 Fri, 10 Apr 2009 01:17:19 +0000 Maya 59870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the first one more too. I actually think rectangles wear "shapeless" styles like trapeze dresses and jackets the best. </p> <p>I'm a fan of the boyfriend blazer but something about that particular one doesn't appeal to me. I can't place what it is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-too-boxy-for-a-rectangle#post-59864 Fri, 10 Apr 2009 00:50:01 +0000 yublocka 59864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm no expert, but I think the first one would work better as it has a more defined shape. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-too-boxy-for-a-rectangle#post-59862 Fri, 10 Apr 2009 00:42:03 +0000 Kyle 59862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm looking for a versatile jacket to pop on with jeans or skirts and graphic tees.</p> <p>Can a rectangle get away with something like this...or is it too boxy?<br /> <a href="http://www1.bloomingdales.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=173140&#038;LinkType=CrossSell&#038;PseudoCat=Cat8965%20Jackets%20&#038;%20Outerwear&#038;LinkLoc=Cat8965%20Jackets%20&#038;%20Outerwear#mainProductImage" rel="nofollow">http://www1.bloomingdales.com/.....oductImage</a></p> <p>What about this one?
