Lovelyish

These fashions are great

I liked the fashion shown. I like it when my wife wears things that shows off her great shape–especially bust. 

@SisterMae@xanga - I agree with you, Mae. I love those fashions.

She is beautiful and I love her style.  I don’t follow any fashion blogs (unless you count lovelyish), but if I did follow one, it wouldn’t be because the blogger was curvy, skinny, muscular, or in between, it would be because I liked her writing, her pictures, and sense of style.  I’d appreciate her sense of fashion regardless of whether their choices would look great on me or not.

It kind of bugs me when people put curvy, heavy and hourglass shaped in the same category. I have an hourglass shape, but at the same time I’m quite thin. 

i’ve never followed her before but i just fell in love with her style, i literally just said ” oh my goodness she’s stunning,” out loud .

I feel like when I wear leggings that instead of having the intended look I appear to be wearing running pants. My legs are very toned and muscular, I run a lot and I’ve always had very strong bulky legs, I personally avoid leggings, which is a shame, I love the style in itself.

I’ve tried pairing it with tall boots but I’ve been having a really hard time finding a fair that fit over my calves.

@HopeWithinReach@xanga - I have thick legs as well, and I’m struggling with how to wear the legging trend…I think it would look really cute with tall boots, but I don’t know what other clothes I would wear with them, haha.

And Zappos.com and DSW have huge selections of boots of varying calf widths at fairly reasonable prices. I purchase nearly all of my shoes from those two places.

Wow, she’s gorgeous! I love her style!! I think she’ll be my new fashion inspiration

@the_mad_hatter21@xanga - 

I went to a Plus size story to try on their boots and they fit my caves but were too large around the ankles. So silly i am a small/ medium in shirts and a 10 in pants but I can’t find SHOES to fit over my calves, how ridicules is this?

Downtown has a two level DSW but I never find anything there. I’ve heard of that website, a friend of mine has used it a few times but she wasn’t very satisfied.

oh my god this girl is fiiierce.  i wish i could dress that good…i only do, in my head.

She’s so pretty, and I love her style.

@HopeWithinReach@xanga - Hmmm….Have you tried going to The Avenue? It’s still a plus-sized store, but their boots tend to run a little smaller in the ankles. Plus their shoes are actually cute.

I actually really like Zappos because of the great customer service. My only problems are that they don’t always have the most current versions of certain styles, and their products rarely ever go on sale. Plus they hardly ever take coupons.

@emptyabyss@xanga ha. I feel the same way. Everytime a magazine features an article on how to dress an hourglass figure the model is always plus-sized. us petite hour-glasses are the ignored demographic. i must reemphasize: hour glass does NOT automatically equal plus sized!

@JanEdichotoMY@xanga - I wish that magazines could separate their fashion “how to” sections for smaller women and thicker women. Just like all size 4 girls are not sticks, all plus-sized women are not shaped like beluga whales. We could still have the typical shapes (pear, apple, hourglass, ruler, etc), but show them on small women and then plus-sized women. I hate having to look at the “curvy” model and look at either a) a Kim Kardashian look-alike or b) a rotund, apple-shaped person when I am undeniably pear-shaped.

@emptyabyss@xanga - EXACTLY. My waist is ten inches smaller around than my hips, I definitely have the hourglass shape, but am, in fact, the height of the average fifth or sixth grader and a size zero. -_-

@JanEdichotoMY@xanga - @blackspiders@xanga - 

I think it’s just people trying to be too politically correct. At first it was chubby, but then that became negative, so the word curvy was used for plus sized women which was fine. But now everyone just associates curvy with fat, so people feel rude saying it, so now they have hourglass figures. It’s incredibly annoying. Not to mention, some of these “plus sized” women they try to pass of as hourglass shapes in magazines aren’t that at all. Some of them are just very curvy but have no waist to speak of.

@emptyabyss@xanga - 

I completely agree. I have an actual hourglass figure. My waist is 11 inches smaller then my hips. Always have been.

As a fun side job I do some modeling and my favorite project was with a painter who painter my back to my hips has an hourglass for a show, it was really fun.

i agree with everyone who mentioned they are hour glasses but not necessarily curvy. being an hour glass myself and a 32D on top of it i would love to get some fashion tips for my body type. it’s very hard for me to find clothes that fit in the right places.

@emptyabyss@xanga - I totally empathize with you. I am thin too, but people think “thin” and they think “no curves”. They couldn’t be more wrong. I have a very curvy body. There is a middle between being size 0 or 2 and being a size 14. A very healthy middle that can indeed be curvy and hour glass.

@HopeWithinReach@xanga - I’m a bit bigger than you (12 in pants, and large in shirts) but I’ve ALWAYS had a problem with shoes fitting over my calves! Even when I was smaller. That, and the fact I have a slightly wider foot. And it’s weird, because even though some parts of my body are bigger, my calves haven’t gotten much bigger at all. I wonder what’s up with that. 

SHE. IS. SO. BEAUTIFUL!

I can’t even comment on the whole hourglass≠curvy≠plussize thing because this woman has taken the analytical portion of my mind and squashed it with all my newfound love for her and her style.

@ohheybbyitscorixx@xanga - 

Well, when you saw other parts have gotten bigger do you mean in muscle mass or in fat? Maybe your legs are formed of all muscle and not gaining any fat weight, or visa versa.

Mine are all muscle, I used to HATE it, they look really cut and trim like I work out every single day lol.

@HopeWithinReach@xanga - Well it’s weird because my thighs have a lot of fat, but my calves have muscle. Even when I was a lot thinner, I always had more muscular legs. So I always wondered some people are supposed to be able to fit into those tiny ass boots haha! I used to not like it either. I mean, I still want to get back in shape, but even before when I had muscles I didn’t like it. But now I long for it again! :p
