New Apple Shape Resource

Hi Ladies,

I've started a blog for apple-shaped women of all sizes. I wanted to get some feedback from body shape experts and other apples, so google led me here.

I would love constructive feedback, and your ideas on how to improve my blog. My goal is to make a world-class and HELPFUL resource for apple-shaped women everywhere.

Here's the blog itself: https://stylishapples.com

and here are a couple entries about specific clothes of interest to apples:

I look forward to your awesome feedback,
Penelope

I'm sort of the opposite of apple, but never mind that! It's a pleasure to see any resource that helps women to enjoy dressing their particular body.

All the best with this endeavor.

I checked out your blog and it's great. I'm a bit of a pear but I think apples would really like your posts. You have lots of useful information and a fun style.

Thank you so much for the replies, minimalist and bonnie! I'm happy to hear this, and I hope my new blog will reach other apple shaped women. not sure how many use this forum here, but we should, because from my perspective this is an awesome resource for honest feedback.

You go, girl! I am a pear with Apple-ish tendencies, so I will absolutely be checking out your blog again and again in the future. You saw a space in the blogosphere and stepped in to claim it: applause! xox

thank you, Juniper and Mac, for the great feedback! I'm glad to hear you like the blog so far and look forward to learning from everyone here. I'll always need ideas and inspirations for apple-specific fashion advice.

It's so funny, even my husband is piping in with his ideas about my new blog. He's obsessed with fancy travel bags and luggage, and he OFTEN reads the review sites for those. He thinks I should do a "crossover" post where I discuss the specific packing needs of apple shapes and good lightweight bags.

One thing I need to add in the future is posts where I model example outfits. This forum seems like a good place to test out those outfits and get informed feedback, before I publish.

One trend I've noticed with fashion blogs (especially the successful ones) is that bloggers often make *themselves* the product. That's not my overall goal. I don't mind adding example pics that are helpful to my content, but if I'm personally googling for fashion advice or ideas, I want the fashion advice instead of the fashion show. is that crazy? Am I being too hard on them? I mean, we're all a little narcissistic
