That’s a common rectangular shape. Of course broader shoulders can be attractive </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-my-body-type-im-so-confused#post-29253 Sat, 04 Oct 2008 13:53:40 +0000 Kim 29253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi again ladies! I was wondering, since I'm a ruler what should I focus on and what should I not focus on? I know that it's about creating curves so belts are a good idea but I don't look good in belts for some reason! Also, are my shoulders really bigger than the rest of my body?? I'm also confused because on some days I don't like them as they're masculine and make me look athletic but on other days, I think broad shoulders are actually quite attractive..I feel I would look more proportionate if I were taller ( a ruler like Charlize Theron) but I'm short! Thanks you for your input!:)<br /> here's another picture of my back/shoulders<br /> <a href="http://i374.photobucket.com/albums/oo182/Kimberly002_2008/white.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i374.photobucket.com/al...../white.jpg</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-my-body-type-im-so-confused#post-29246 Sat, 04 Oct 2008 09:15:53 +0000 Kim 29246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Antje and Oneirix, thank you for the welcome and for answering!<br /> I am rectangle then! I'm just a bit confused because when I wear certain clothes (like in the pictures I posted) it appears like I don't have waist/hips (I look straight) but when I'm naked I do have curves at the sides of my waist (not very evident ones but still). Can rectangles still have a slightly curvy waist? Also, when I was younger I had a smaller waist so my hips looked larger, I guess body types can change? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-my-body-type-im-so-confused#post-29232 Sat, 04 Oct 2008 01:55:24 +0000 Oneirix 29232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Kim! To me, you seem like predominantly rectangle with VERY slight inverted triangle tendencies. Angie's a pro at pegging it though, so you'll get a good answer from her. Welcome to YLF! Everyone here is really nice; your self-esteem will skyrocket! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-my-body-type-im-so-confused#post-29185 Fri, 03 Oct 2008 18:32:24 +0000 Antje 29185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome, Kim, you've come to the right place. I'd say rectangle, too, and am confident that you'll find many good tips here that'll help you feel fab and stylish. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-my-body-type-im-so-confused#post-29183 Fri, 03 Oct 2008 18:29:30 +0000 Kim 29183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Tanya, thank you for the feedback! I also feel I'm a rectangle though on some days and from different angles I'm not sure..but I'm most likely closest to rectangle. Thanks again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-my-body-type-im-so-confused#post-29172 Fri, 03 Oct 2008 17:53:11 +0000 Tanya 29172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Kin and welcome! I am not very good at this, but my initial guess would be rectangle. Let's wait for Angie and the others though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-my-body-type-im-so-confused#post-29169 Fri, 03 Oct 2008 17:46:07 +0000 Kim 29169@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi everyone, I'm new here- this is a great place!!! :)<br /> Here are some pictures of my body. I am confused because I used to always think I was pear shaped, but now I realized I have broader shoulders than the rest of my body so maybe I'm inverse triangle? Thing is from some of these pictures I look apple shape (my stomach doesn't normally look like this but only after I eat a big meal,which is when I took these!). I also realized I don't really have hips or a shapely waist so I could be a rectangle?? One thing for sure is I'm short/petite/ and am flat-chested. I really wish I had bigger breasts and more feminine shoulders and legs...and curvier waist/hips. Anyway, I'm working hard on my self-image and self esteem and doing many exercises to keep toned! Thank you all for your feedback!</p> <p><a href="http://i374.photobucket.com/albums/oo182/Kimberly002_2008/front.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i374.photobucket.com/al...../front.jpg</a><br /> <a href="http://i374.photobucket.com/albums/oo182/Kimberly002_2008/front3.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i374.photobucket.com/al.....front3.jpg</a><br /> <a href="http://i374.photobucket.com/albums/oo182/Kimberly002_2008/Back1.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i374.photobucket.com/al...../Back1.jpg</a><br /> <a href="http://i374.photobucket.com/albums/oo182/Kimberly002_2008/back2.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i374.photobucket.com/al...../back2.jpg</a><br /> <a href="http://i374.photobucket.com/albums/oo182/Kimberly002_2008/sideways.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i374.photobucket.com/al.....deways.jpg</a><br /> <a href="http://i374.photobucket.com/albums/oo182/Kimberly002_2008/sideways2.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i374.photobucket.com/al.....eways2.jpg</a><br /> <a href="http://i374.photobucket.com/albums/oo182/Kimberly002_2008/swimsuit.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i374.photobucket.com/al.....imsuit.jpg</a> </p>
