What body shape am I?

Georgia

Earlier today I posted a question in the "Where to Shop" section of the forum. I posted a picture of myself and thought maybe I could find more advice here. I have no idea what my body shape is. Pre-children, I am pretty sure I was an hourglass. Now, I have no idea. Like I mention in the other thread, I still would like to lose 10-15 lbs and I am nursing so I feel pretty out of proportion. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I would say adorable apple. Congratulations on only having 10-15 pounds to lose post-baby. That's really not much!

I was thinking apple, too. I have a couple questions. What kind of skirts can I wear? I've been wanting to break out of the jeans and tee rut and I would like to try skirts but I never like the way they look on me. Also, can I pull off the skinny jean look?

Sinead-thank you! I winced a little when I posted my pics but I thought "Why am I so hard on myself?" I just had a baby, my body isn't going to snap back overnight!

I like the way you think, Georgia. Spot on.

You are indeed apple shaped. Have you read the guidelines of this body type already?

Georgia- I think you can do a skinny jean if you pair it with a tunic or dress.

Thank you everyone! Now that I know what shape I am and what the guidelines are for me, does anyone have suggestions on where I can find clothes? I live in a very rural area of northwestern Wisconsin. I feel like I have no clothes that fit me anymore and I have no idea where to start when building my wardrobe.

The places we go to again and again are: express, banana republic, j crew, ann taylor, ann taylor loft, target, macy's, and nordstrom. A lot of us also find things thrifting. But one of the things you'll find on this forum is that it's not about where you buy but what you buy and making sure whatever it is fit your body.

You have a great body, i would have to disagree with calling you an apple id probably say more sort of busty & you have a defined waist, even though you have given birth and that a rare thing. Your hips are a touch smaller but your butt is well proportioned. Id be thrilled if i look like u after having kids

I agree with msjana, you are in great shape and still nursing.. so right now you are an adorable apple, but your body will certainly change because you had a baby recently.
