Nice drapey top in that first picture, too!

I have no clue on bodyshapes but the gals here will get you sorted, looking forward to following your style journey x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-body-type-help#post-197415 Mon, 09 Aug 2010 14:03:42 +0000 Alison 197415@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the suggestions! I will try again tonight after work. Most of my workout pants are bootcut, but there must be something that will work. Who knew this would be so tricky? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-body-type-help#post-197158 Mon, 09 Aug 2010 01:54:35 +0000 Lisa 197158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A hello from me! Try a tank top and workout pants if you have them. If not were those skinny jeans? Try them without the footwear. Also I take many of my photos solo and I stand close to the mirror or use zoom. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-body-type-help#post-197111 Mon, 09 Aug 2010 00:08:47 +0000 Alison 197111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here is another photo, maybe it's a bit easier to see in this one? I don't have many things that are very form fitting, so next resort would be a tank top, and I'm not sure I can do that to all of you! Also, I don't have much of a waist, which could be why it's hard to spot. </p> <p>I can work on figuring out the self timer too, since I am a solo operation and don't have someone here who can take photos.</p> <p><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/105951916509303112313/20100808?authkey=Gv1sRgCNPO6KWCgf-RRg#5503194240634852594" rel="nofollow">http://picasaweb.google.com/10.....0634852594</a></p> <p>Thanks guys! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-body-type-help#post-197100 Mon, 09 Aug 2010 00:01:02 +0000 taylor 197100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Alison, and Welcome. I have no clue on body types, but Angie and other sharp eyes will have you straight in no time:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-body-type-help#post-197068 Sun, 08 Aug 2010 23:16:37 +0000 Tanya 197068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello Alison and welcome! Congratulations on your weight loss. You have come to the right place, and we are looking forward to helping you with your style journey.</p> <p>The photos are not the best for body type determination, I am afraid. We would need one face on with your arms down by the side. The way you are posting them is quite all right, most of the members here use flickr/photobucket/picasa websites.</p> <p>I love that first drapey black top on you ( and your boots), but it is a bit too loose to see the outline of your body clearly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-body-type-help#post-197062 Sun, 08 Aug 2010 23:12:33 +0000 medusa 197062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Alison! Welcome. It's a bit hard to tell your body type from your photos because you're wearing interesting clothes. Do you have anything that is more plain to wear on top? </p> <p>But it looks to me like you might be an inverted triangle. It's a bit hard to tell from the picture what your waist looks like - you might have rectangle tendencies. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-body-type-help#post-197060 Sun, 08 Aug 2010 23:06:00 +0000 Alison 197060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi everyone! I'm Alison, I have been lurking for a bit and already learned a ton from Angie and all of you. Thanks!</p> <p>After a couple of "interesting" years, I have managed to lose a lot of weight in the last year. Since I have to start the wardrobe over pretty much from scratch, it seemed like a good time to try and up my style quotient. However, I'm pretty fashion-challenged. First, I am trying to figure out my body type. </p> <p>I worked up the courage to take a couple photos. I wouldn't necessarily wear this top with these jeans, but they are the most form-fitting clothes I own and was trying to give you a sense of how I look. My lower body is several sizes smaller than my top, thanks to my shoulders and upper back, so my guess is inverted triangle.</p> <p><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/105951916509303112313/20100808?authkey=Gv1sRgCNPO6KWCgf-RRg#5503177089521030946" rel="nofollow">http://picasaweb.google.com/10.....9521030946</a></p> <p><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/105951916509303112313/20100808?authkey=Gv1sRgCNPO6KWCgf-RRg#5503177164342939458" rel="nofollow">http://picasaweb.google.com/10.....4342939458</a></p> <p>I would appreciate any and all input (including the best way to post photos here) from all of you.
