You look amazing and I know your generosity and your ideas will be so helpful to other women.<br />I am so looking forward to seeing your pictures -- I'm also short hair and naturally small on top, and am always looking for ideas for myself.<br />I love both the looks you have here. You've created interest in such different ways! Love the relaxed scarf outfit (I also use scarves to add "volume" because I don't have much) and the second outfit is so feminine and beautiful. Absolutely fantastic in both! Can't wait to see more. Please post your blog link when it is up; I have friends to share it with. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-for-a-new-body/page/2#post-1049055 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 14:57:13 +0000 merwoman 1049055@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The power of your courage and YLF (yay Suz!)&nbsp;is coming through loud and clear!<br />You look amazing Sharon and I'm so glad you are starting a blog to help others - your voice and positive experience are needed to shine a light for all women. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-for-a-new-body/page/2#post-1049040 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 14:47:16 +0000 unfrumped 1049040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm amazed at your strength and resilience. Many, many good wishes for ongoing health. I also have a good friend who's dressing prosthesis-free.<br />Both of those ouftits look amazing--polished, sophistocated, but also easy and very "you". Love your haircut, and that's a super example of all the "parts" working together--you look chic.<br />The gathered top neckline and how it angles across your shoulder line looks very pretty--great alone and a great shell under jacket look. Dresses in that style may work well, too, and are fairly readily available.<br />Whatever formula you're using to create outfits, keep it up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-for-a-new-body/page/2#post-1049023 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 14:25:34 +0000 Suz 1049023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my heavens, Sharon - I just found this!!! This is unbelievable. I opened the post and&nbsp;was reading along with it,&nbsp;oohing and ahhing --&nbsp;first in sadness, of course,&nbsp;and dismay, at your diagnosis and then in relief that you are fine now, and then in&nbsp;awe of your gorgeous, fashionable, and figure flattering outfits, which are superb!) </p> <p>And then I got to the part about how you discovered the lump...and a huge lump rose in my own throat and I had to stop to shed a tear. </p> <p>My mother and aunt are both breast cancer survivors. </p> <p>I probably don't need to say too much more. Your post touched me very, very deeply. Thank you for sharing. And I can't wait to see your blog. What a wonderful idea. Will you share the link with us?&nbsp;</p> <p>And now -- for fashion -- I agree with what the others have said. I am not a 0 cup, but you know, there's very little up top in my case. I have found Angie's guidelines to be superb, and I notice that my mother (who elected no reconstructive surgery) also unconsciously follows these. You have already demonstrated some -- higher necklines, sometimes with gathering, cowls, or scarves, or detail on the front of the shirt; jackets work a charm -- they give structure and they are easier to fit; button down shirts -- and if you don't like crisp fabrications, silky ones work just fine.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Boat necks are a nice option in warmer temps where a turtleneck or scarf or cowl would feel too constrictive. I like the Armani neckline you've shown, too. And it can be nice to show skin in other ways (where appropriate) -- so I will go sleeveless or look for a pretty back detail on a dress (for dressy events). This is great with short hair, so your new hairstyle is perfect.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thank you again for sharing about this. I think I need to go take a rest now. I have to say - it's kind of a big thing to imagine that you are indirectly responsible for saving someone's life. Wow. If I never do anything else meaningful in my life, at least I can say I did that. I am awed.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-for-a-new-body/page/2#post-1049008 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 14:08:27 +0000 Vix 1049008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Sharon --</p> <p>Best wishes for continued health and happiness; I'm sure other women who choose the same post-surgery decision would love to have a resource for inspiration.</p> <p>You look wonderful in both outfits, so I'd say just keep doing what you're doing. I think a lot of the process will be trying things on and adjusting to what things look like on your new body. As you say, you've probably avoided many tops in the past that will now work for your new silhoutte.</p> <p>If you need visuals yourself (aside from just about any model) I'm thinking Keira Knightly, Kate Moss, and&nbsp;Kate Hudson may have something to offer.<br />And of course Trinny (of Trinny and Susannah/What Not to Wear) famously discusses and models options for small-busted women.</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-for-a-new-body/page/2#post-1048985 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 13:38:56 +0000 Janet 1048985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sharon, it's good to see you again. I'm so glad you are doing well now and I hope you continue to thrive! One of my best friends has wrapped up her final treatment for breast cancer, and we are hoping that she has it beat for good. My hat is off to all of you who have fought this fight. </p> <p>You look fantastic, and it looks to me like you have a great handle on how to dress your new shape. I love your blog idea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-for-a-new-body/page/2#post-1048978 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 13:32:22 +0000 Anonymous 1048978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look amazing. &nbsp;I will watch for your WIWs and thoughts on dressing your new healthy and beautiful body. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-for-a-new-body/page/2#post-1048965 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 13:12:45 +0000 Anonymous 1048965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sharon, you look like a model. Your blog is a wonderful idea and will help many. I have a cousin who is also choosing not to do reconstruction or prosthetics. Be sure to include any ways you find that old clothing can be altered successfully. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-for-a-new-body/page/2#post-1048957 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 12:51:43 +0000 donnat 1048957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both outfits look great.

I am doing well, and feeling great and the prognosis is good so I'm just hoping for the best and trying enjoy life.</p> <p>Claire, you are right, I have lost some weight and I need to give a shout-out to Suz at this point because she inspired me to go through the Lean Eating program which led to the weight loss which in turn led to me finding the breast lump. So Suz and Precision Nutrition are kind of responsible for saving my life. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-for-a-new-body#post-1048804 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 05:48:29 +0000 catgirl 1048804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So sorry to hear of your health situation&nbsp; - you look absolutely fantastic and I would never think to ask anyone about their breast history based on what they were wearing, regardless! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-for-a-new-body#post-1048792 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 04:54:57 +0000 Amy 1048792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sharon, I'm sorry to hear about the ordeal you've been through.

I hope you are feeling stronger each day, and I know how therapeutic fashion can be when you finally have energy to&nbsp;care about it again.</p> <p>First off, you are doing a terrific job with your outfits! I think the scarf works well to add some dimension to the chest area, and you look truly amazing in the sleeveless number, not odd in&nbsp;<i>any</i> way. Look at the definition in your arms! Thanks for showing us your pictures and please pamper yourself as continue through the healing process. You deserve it!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-for-a-new-body#post-1048751 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 03:47:40 +0000 sarah 1048751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Sharon.
