I'm going to start a new thread with attn. to Greg and Angie. It might not be a difficult addition. Of course it is always possible to click on people's profiles to find out that info (if they have posted it) but if these little icons appeared along with our roles near our avitars, people would have quick insight. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-a-ylf-twin/page/2#post-435250 Sun, 02 Oct 2011 19:55:11 +0000 Ornella 435250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This thread reminds me of the idea I had a while back, about adding icons or something else that represent our body types somewhere around the profile photos. I think that would help, especially for the new starters who probably want to check how experienced forum members of the same body types create outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-a-ylf-twin/page/2#post-435094 Sun, 02 Oct 2011 13:12:29 +0000 anne 435094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh this thread is still going! ( I have been away on holiday for a week)<br /> Sona, the YLF person who I think matches you best hasn't been around for a few months, but you could try having a look at her threads - she is called Shana.</p> <p>Kat - might we be twins? Trying to remember from what you have said. I also have a swayback/ curvy bum </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-a-ylf-twin/page/2#post-435036 Sun, 02 Oct 2011 06:51:54 +0000 Sylvia 435036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great thread Sona and I love Sylivie's idea. Would be great to easily find your body double... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-a-ylf-twin#post-430034 Sun, 25 Sep 2011 16:30:06 +0000 Lisa 430034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't match your descriptions (I'm a pear shape, short gal) but the style twin idea is neat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-a-ylf-twin#post-429652 Sat, 24 Sep 2011 22:08:44 +0000 Suz 429652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't match you, Sona, but I think this is a FAB idea. It would be truly terrific to be able to match ourselves up to others quickly and check out their winning looks! You are smart! (As well as beautiful and fashionable.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-a-ylf-twin#post-429617 Sat, 24 Sep 2011 20:37:06 +0000 Allison 429617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey Sona I am with you on the big boobs, big shoulders and skinny bottom half. I don't have a tummy but I tend to camoflauge my middle with jackets, layers, and belts because I am short waisted. I have found that Jessica from What I Wore has a similar body shape (though she is quite long and lean she has a larger bust, broad shoulders, IT, and short waist). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-a-ylf-twin#post-429591 Sat, 24 Sep 2011 19:51:49 +0000 Lynne 429591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sona, Una was the first person that came to mind when I read your header :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-a-ylf-twin#post-429589 Sat, 24 Sep 2011 19:45:37 +0000 bran888 429589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a great idea! It's tough, though, because as Janet mentioned, two people in the same body type category can look pretty different.</p> <p>Any very petite hourglass/pears out there? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-a-ylf-twin#post-428521 Fri, 23 Sep 2011 13:08:32 +0000 Erin 428521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet, maybe we can be leggy twins! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-a-ylf-twin#post-428488 Fri, 23 Sep 2011 12:16:30 +0000 Janet 428488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've often wondered about this, as I look at others' outfits and am inspired to try new looks -- I find myself wondering, "but would that work on me?" </p> <p>Erin, you and I are height/inseam twins! I joke that all my height is in my legs. </p> <p>I tend to pay close attention to what other hourglass/pear ladies are doing, but the truth is, two supposedly "pear" shapes can differ quite a bit -- I'm one of those with no booty whatsoever -- I appear smaller from the side than from the front! Obviously some things will look much better on one kind of pear and not another. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-a-ylf-twin#post-428456 Fri, 23 Sep 2011 08:37:24 +0000 Deborah 428456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great idea! Sona I match some of what you mentioned but Im not sure about the broad shoulders :). I have loved watching your recent style evolution. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-a-ylf-twin#post-428453 Fri, 23 Sep 2011 08:04:23 +0000 Aunty 428453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't match you but I would love to be your twin!! You are totaly gorgeous so I could bask in your glow :)</p> <p>Have another look at what you think are your problems and I bet you see they really are not problems.</p> <p>I always thought I looked like I was made up of spare parts found in a bag left over from about 6 other people! I am still searching for my waist which I never could find but hey ho what the heck :0 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-a-ylf-twin#post-428424 Fri, 23 Sep 2011 05:17:34 +0000 lyn* 428424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sona - I saw a well dressed attending today and thought about you Hope you are well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-a-ylf-twin#post-428411 Fri, 23 Sep 2011 04:27:54 +0000 catgirl 428411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sona, regardless of size if the body shape and proportion is the same, I think the same styling rules apply. And as I will be posting, I just scored a Theory dress at the consignment store in a size 12. Notice me almost always choosing to surrender my so-called waist, because I don't have the abs to suck it in all day. I often take the classic salwar-kameez silhouette and translate it to tunic and skinnies for that reason.</p> <p>You are gorgeous, girl! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-a-ylf-twin#post-428383 Fri, 23 Sep 2011 03:03:48 +0000 Sveta 428383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sona, we all have our "problem" areas but you know what? Somehow we see them as big problems but others don't and sometimes even compliment us on these very features we loath! Just ask Una! :-)<br /> I think that Ornella is very much my YLF twin. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-a-ylf-twin#post-428381 Fri, 23 Sep 2011 02:57:55 +0000 cobaltblue 428381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't match you, but I love this idea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-a-ylf-twin#post-428293 Fri, 23 Sep 2011 00:55:09 +0000 Sona 428293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>thank you so much Kat for sharing that. It means a lot. and gives much to think about! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-a-ylf-twin#post-428291 Fri, 23 Sep 2011 00:46:31 +0000 Kat 428291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sona, no worries. I'll pass along to you what Angie said to me when I was asking about a formfitting dress and my shall we say "swayback"(shelf of a) bum..... 'it just depends on how comfortable you are showing your curves...Its a formffitting dress that will accentuate your swayback. BUT THAT IS NOT A BAD THING BECAUSE ITS WHO YOU ARE. AND WE LIKE WHO YOU ARE' (emphasis mine). I have to say that it made me re-evaluate my appraisal of what my body looks like in clothes and what I need to hide or emphasize. Its my body. Its fine (all of it). I should just get dressed in things I like and be open-minded about trying things.</p> <p>because its who you are and we like who you are.</p> <p>perfect wisdom from lovely Angie. just something to think about. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-a-ylf-twin#post-428284 Fri, 23 Sep 2011 00:30:02 +0000 Sona 428284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love you guys! Its just that I think I have such a bigger belly than all of you gals. I wear a medium or large in tops and 10 or 12 in bottoms. I would love to be able to wear a 4 or a 6 but that is not happening! </p> <p>For example I jsut cannot tuck anything in - as my lower abs are quite wide. Anything fur would make me look like a linebacker. My husband doesn't like me in wide dolman sleeves because I look like a quarterback then. Every once in a while I get the 'how far along are you 'comment.</p> <p>Ok no more pity party. I just have to learn to apply looks to my own particular shape issues. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-a-ylf-twin#post-428281 Fri, 23 Sep 2011 00:25:40 +0000 MsMary 428281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your description definitely fits me, Sona! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-a-ylf-twin#post-428279 Fri, 23 Sep 2011 00:24:20 +0000 Erin 428279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kat, you're too funny!</p> <p>I also think that this is a good idea. I haven't gotten the courage yet to post my pick in the body type section but I struggle with how to dress my shape. I think I must be shorter in the torso as all low rise pants come almost to my belly button and I'm 5'7 with a 34" inseam. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-a-ylf-twin#post-428267 Fri, 23 Sep 2011 00:02:47 +0000 Kat 428267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Alaskagirl, I think we should by sets and switch out tops and bottoms! ( like a style yin/yang...like I do for my kids when I have one who loves meat and shuns carbs and one who is vegetarian...we get one meal and divide it up) I can wear all your too narrow shouldered tops and you can have all the non-bum-accommodating bottom halves.....</p> <p>Or I can just go see if I can find an average to small chested hourglass with a bum and we can hang out and watch you guys go to town! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-a-ylf-twin#post-428266 Fri, 23 Sep 2011 00:02:38 +0000 qfbrenda 428266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a great idea. As an IT it was great to learn that MaryK, Una, and a few others are also ITs. I pay close attention to what they choose because they obviously know what they are doing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-a-ylf-twin#post-428229 Thu, 22 Sep 2011 23:30:44 +0000 Vina 428229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This sounds like a great idea to me! I would be happy to participate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-a-ylf-twin#post-428225 Thu, 22 Sep 2011 23:27:05 +0000 Sylvie 428225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Actually, what would be really cool is if YLF did a survey and we all filled in our body shapes/modifiers and a standard set of measurements (bust, height, waist, hips).</p> <p>All this data gets stored in a YLF database under the highest levels of security. :)</p> <p>An automated script then matches up people by body type and physical dimensions and sends participants a list of their body doubles. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-a-ylf-twin#post-428221 Thu, 22 Sep 2011 23:23:18 +0000 nicoleb 428221@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't match you but i think it's a really great idea! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-a-ylf-twin#post-428217 Thu, 22 Sep 2011 23:12:53 +0000 Angie 428217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a great idea, Sona. You can probably zone in on all the YLF IT's for inspiration </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-a-ylf-twin#post-428164 Thu, 22 Sep 2011 21:40:28 +0000 catgirl 428164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sona, I'm an IT that basically fits your description. What size do you wear up top and in bottoms? I tend to be a 6 or M on top, and a 4 or 6 in pants, depending on brand. Wide shoulders, straight through the middle, skinny legs, no hips or booty. Hmm, that's not sounding appealing but we both look way better than it sounds! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-a-ylf-twin#post-428161 Thu, 22 Sep 2011 21:37:20 +0000 goldenpig 428161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well actually Sona, I'm not big busted, but I'm an apple with kind of broad shoulders, and I always love to click on your WIW posts because I consider you one of my style twins, since we both are doctor moms!</p> <p>MaryK is definitely my style big sister! I wanna be just like her! </p>
