It's perfect - thanks for the advice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-advice-for-a-pear#post-80226 Mon, 20 Jul 2009 14:56:29 +0000 inkstainedwriter 80226@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a one year old. I'm not sure of my body type before, but I think I was more of an hourglass figure. Maybe I'll lose the weight, but I'm pretty sure my hips are bigger anyway. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-advice-for-a-pear#post-80038 Sun, 19 Jul 2009 15:55:53 +0000 anne 80038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just wondered how "new" a new mom you are? And if you thought you were a pear before you got pregnant? My reason for asking is that I am less pear shaped now, 18 months after my last baby, than I was when I first joined YLF, at 3 months post-baby. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-advice-for-a-pear#post-80026 Sun, 19 Jul 2009 14:53:11 +0000 Angie 80026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome to the forum!</p> <p>3 and 4 get my vote, but you'll have to try them on to be sure. If you post pictures of you in the jackets, we can help you out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-advice-for-a-pear#post-79940 Sat, 18 Jul 2009 22:21:33 +0000 chewyspaghetti 79940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have that military jacket in my ON shopping cart right now, but I haven't found it in a store yet to try it on. I have tried on the last blazer you posted (in a different color) and I thought it was tailored pretty nicely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-advice-for-a-pear#post-79905 Sat, 18 Jul 2009 19:20:34 +0000 inkstainedwriter 79905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the advice. The ON ones are awesome and I've had good luck there in the past. I worry about the military one coming too low (at a bad level for my hips and shape, but I LOVE the gray. The other two are great, but I'll have to research how to wear seersucker. Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-advice-for-a-pear#post-79857 Sat, 18 Jul 2009 17:12:18 +0000 Louise 79857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the last 3. Not keen on the second one. I like the first but you might have limited outfit options think it would need other pieces to be fairly plain x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-advice-for-a-pear#post-79846 Sat, 18 Jul 2009 16:53:10 +0000 Anonymous 79846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Although I love patchwork I would be afraid a patchwork print in a jacket would be tiring after a little while. Other than that I like all of your choices and you have great taste.<br /> Have you checked out the NAS that everyone is talking about? There are some great buys there and the sale prices are very good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-advice-for-a-pear#post-79844 Sat, 18 Jul 2009 16:46:36 +0000 inkstainedwriter 79844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm new to the forum (great site). I'm a new mom at 25 and now find myself a pear with a xs or s top and a medium bottom in everything. I'm pretty tall, at 5'8". I don't have any pictures of my new body! </p> <p>I'm also going back to school for a master's and would like to "up" my wardrobe inexpensively. So, I'm looking for cheap and something young, not frumpy, but very grad-schoolish. </p> <p>I love jackets and can't decide which would work better. Advice on this (or any other suggestions!) would be greatly appreciated. </p> <p><a href="http://www.target.com/Merona-Patchwork-Jacket-Blue/dp/B001JTEW7I/qid=1247847294/ref=br_1_8/181-0354335-8184813?ie=UTF8&#038;node=701903011&#038;frombrowse=1&#038;rh=&#038;page=1" rel="nofollow">http://www.target.com/Merona-P.....038;page=1</a><br /> Target madras jacket </p> <p><a href="http://www.target.com/Merona-Button-Swing-Jacket-Casual/dp/B001JYI0EY/ref=pd_ecc_rvi_1?ie=UTF8&#038;pf_rd_r=0NAFV3TBMYJQEAR1CCKN&#038;pf_rd_p=447415501&#038;pf_rd_i=B001JTEW7I&#038;pf_rd_s=left-5&#038;pf_rd_m=A1VC38T7YXB528&#038;pf_rd_t=201" rel="nofollow">http://www.target.com/Merona-B.....f_rd_t=201</a><br /> Target jacket - I wear a LOT of jeans, so I wasn't sure if this was smart, but I do like it. </p> <p><a href="http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=5448&#038;vid=1&#038;pid=675611&#038;scid=675611022" rel="nofollow">http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/.....=675611022</a><br /> military coat in gray</p> <p><a href="http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=42131&#038;vid=1&#038;pid=653614" rel="nofollow">http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/.....pid=653614</a><br /> coat in bright blue</p> <p><a href="http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=42131&#038;vid=1&#038;pid=633455" rel="nofollow">http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/.....pid=633455</a><br /> in seersucker (this one is a stretch for me, but it does look nice) </p>
