I can't resist red shoes and I'm keeping an eye out for a perfect red bag. </p> <p>Here's a link to the shoes (no longer on sale : ( )<br /> <a href="http://www.shoemall.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=286310&#038;categoryId=0&#038;subCategoryId=0&#038;typeId=0" rel="nofollow">http://www.shoemall.com/catalo.....8;typeId=0</a> I constantly get compliments on them. </p> <p>Last time I measured I was 5'5''. Hee, I just noticed I used only one apostrophe for my measurements. Surely they are not in feet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-my-body-type#post-17550 Tue, 29 Jul 2008 18:29:12 +0000 Dani 17550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YAY! Another red accessories person! I love the shoes, too cute! I don't have anything to add but wanted to say thanks for posting you picture and welcome!</p> <p>Btw...how tall are you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-my-body-type#post-17547 Tue, 29 Jul 2008 18:13:22 +0000 Lena 17547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shell, yup, I wore the shorter top to show the jeans. I normally try to wear longer ones. I'm just beginning to explore tunics as well. </p> <p>Those flats are Clarks Indigo, several years old actually. I wish I had duplicated them, they are surprisingly well made and go with so many outfits. Plus I adore red accessories : )</p> <p>Thanks, Angie. I'm already considering duplicating them, right after I test them more. (I didn't have a chance to wear them whole day to see if they stretch. It's been too hot until now) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-my-body-type#post-17541 Tue, 29 Jul 2008 17:37:33 +0000 Angie 17541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay Lena! Congrats on posting. You are a very pretty pear with super long gams. </p> <p>Those jeans look INCREDIBLE. Wow. Duplicate immediately once you’ve got the size right. Do they stretch out after one day? You might like to go down a size. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-my-body-type#post-17539 Tue, 29 Jul 2008 17:32:19 +0000 shell 17539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>lena, i would vote pretty pear. the jeans look great! sounds like youre just wearing that shirt to show your shape, but i think the jeans would look great with tunics or hip-length shirts. theyd minize any size difference between your waist and hips.</p> <p>having the shirt pinned back like that actually looks really nice - just a couple more inches of length, and it would be great. </p> <p>i actually have a longer waist, so im not sure how to solve your jacket problem. my only suggestion would be to try going to the petites dept. for jackets. </p> <p>cute flats, by the way! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-my-body-type#post-17533 Tue, 29 Jul 2008 17:15:01 +0000 Lena 17533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Alright, I'm taking the plunge. </p> <p>I took these pics in my new straight leg jeans and a close fitting sport top (pinned in the back). Please excuse the mess outside the house (right now it's one big dig). </p> <p><a href="http://i348.photobucket.com/albums/q357/trufflesniffer/ASB_2161a.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i348.photobucket.com/al....._2161a.jpg</a></p> <p>Also, here are my measurements:<br /> bust 33' (rib cage 28')<br /> waist 27.5'<br /> hips 37'</p> <p>I've been using rules for both pears and hourglasses. My main challenge is a short torso and relatively wide hips, which makes fitting tops and jackets pretty difficult (what is cropped on most people is full length for me). I also have a question about my shoulder line and jackets, I'll probably ask about this in a separate thread.</p> <p>One more question: I'm wearing my first pair of HE jeans: Citizens of Humanity, Ava (straight leg). I *really* like them, but I wonder if size 28 will stretch out too much (I know jeans shout fit more snug at first). Here's a side view pic: <a href="http://i348.photobucket.com/albums/q357/trufflesniffer/ASB_2174a.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i348.photobucket.com/al....._2174a.jpg</a></p> <p>Thanks, ladies! </p>
