Explanations - Condensed and Simplified

As I have mentioned in earlier posts, there are many shapes when it come to people.
There is:

Apple - Top heavy or heavily endowed, but without a defined waist.
Pear - Bottom heavy or a nice caboose.
Hourglass - Evenly proportioned on top and bottom.
Strawberry - Bigger breasts and shoulders, usually an athletic look.
Rectangle - Boyish or strait angular figure, or lack of apparent curves.

These body figures gives the variety in fashion that I love. We cant all be size 0's-2's (So lets make the most of it!).
Once while sitting at the kitchen table looking through a Victoria's Secret catalogue (the Semi-Annual Sale is just a treat!) my dad said something to me that really made me think about body shape more in depth. He said, "You know, these 20 or so women are the 2% of the world that looks like that. So in all reality, they are the freaks. Not us normal sized people."
And he is right! They might be gorgeous freaks, but freaks none the less.

So don't despair when you cant find the right jeans! Shopping can be a fun, good experience or a self esteem wrecking ball; it all depends on how you handle it. Its okay to go back once or twice if you don't find any thing that works (trust me, I have done that WAY to much lately). It might be hard, but persistence is key. My brother is the most persistent little bugger I have ever known - but he gets what he wants 95% of the time!

Love,

Andie;)
