No longer an apple? - YouLookFab Forum

Today while I was getting dressed, I put on my skinnies and a cami (to be topped with a sweet pea tunic). Usually I avoid looking in the mirror until I have the tunic on because all this tight clothing emphasizes all the wrong things, but today I was surprised to see...well, nothing. I have been feeling that in how I dress lately too. I have been focused a lot less on constantly trying to cover my tummy. I still don't have a waist (at least from the front) and it's hardly flat but it isn't as much of a battle as it was just a few months ago. It might also be because my hips have grown a bit (36 to 37 inches) which makes everything more in proportion.

The weird thing is I haven't really done much for it to change, so I'm not sure if I'm delusional.

Also, I'm wearing the only shoes I can wear right now (since they do not touch my wound). Do they look terrible with skinnies? I'm not usually a fan of these sandals but I wear them whenever my feet just don't want anything touching them.

You know Maya, I did not think you were an apple before, and I still do not think so. I think that you are a classic short-waisted hourglass. You do not need to worry about your basically non-existant tummy.

I think that the skinnies look great with those sandals, and also, that you can wear them with shorter tops without any worries.

Maya, it really doesn’t matter what body type you “sort of” fit into. Over analyzing the situation can be dangerous and you know how I feel about boxing people into rigid categories. What matters is that you are at peace with your lovely, LOVELY body and know what looks best – and that includes bending body type guidelines. It certainly looks like you’ve slimmed down and evened out, not that you didn’t look terrific to begin with.

What I want to hit home more than anything is the fact that you look so good in skinny jeans! I know that we have been having this debate together for years, but I want you to know that my opinion has not changed. And I am not the only person on this forum who thinks you rock skinnnies! I hope that you will come around to the idea. Even if it’s just for me :0)

Oh Angie, I don't mean to overanalyze. I was just curious. It's interesting to me to see how one's body changes, and how the clothes change to follow suit. As I said in another thread, I'm pretty much over body type rules. I know what works and what doesn't without having to think about that.

I'll give you some wiggle room: I actually liked the skinnies with the wedge heels I found today (see other post on shoe shopping). I liked them a lot, actually.

I like these sandals. They look great with skinnies and I am sure they look good with shorts, clams, dresses, etc. as well.
