Fashion tips for body shapes: Pear shape

Pear shaped model
A pear shaped beauty is one who possesses
  • a wider torso or bottom
  • a smaller bust
  • a narrower shoulder
  • a well defined waistline.
A pear shaped figure should work towards highlighting her assets (her neat waistline) and balancing her top and bottom when dressing. 

TOPS
Tops should be fitted and not baggy and should end at the tops of your hips to emphasize your well defined waists. longer tops which end at your bum draw attention to your wide bum, Eye catching tops, plunging necklines draw attention away from your wide torso.


















BOTTOMS
 that covers and balances the ‘bootylicious’ body.  Find pants or jeans that are:
  • darker in color
  • boot cut/ flare shaped
  • mid-rise or high rise instead of low cut, pants should not settle above the waist line.

Fashion tips for body shapes




People come in different shapes and sizes, each possessing different attributes, flaws and assets. Dressing according to your body shape and type cannot be over emphasized. A lot of authors have talked about a lot of body shapes, but basically we have 4 body shapes, the others are usually a combination or an offshoot of the four. The 4 main body shapes are;
  • Pear shape
  • Apple shape
  • Hour glass and
  • Rectangular/ tube shape.  
PEAR SHAPE
A pear shaped beauty normally has a wider torso, a well defined waist line, a smaller bust and narrower shoulder.
In dressing, a pear shaped woman should work towards balancing out the curvy bottom and this can be achieved by wearing tops with embellished collars, drawing attention to your top part with a plunging neckline or a chunky jewelry.

Moving On

Break ups can be devastating, and moving on is no walk in the park. Unless you're made of the same sinew as Superman, you can't ignore the fact that, for a time, you no longer believed in love. Especially when you seem to have invested so much in the relationship, a messy break up can hurt you bad and take everything away--from the ego that took years to build right down to the last centavo in your bank account.
The good news is, the wheel of life turns. You can only stay at the bottom and in the dark for so long. Soon, you'll want to walk in the sunshine again. You'll be moving on to face a new life. Finding the will to live again is always a good sign.
This positive energy attracts good vibrations. You'll see a boost in your career, enhance your relationships with your family, and become a better friend to everyone around you. You'll even think about dating again. You may have even found yourself attracted to someone new.
Dating again after a messy break up can be the final

Breaking out of the plus size 'boundary'.

Research shows that nearly 4 out of 5 women hate their bodies. Are you one of them, picking at flaws and focusing endlessly on imperfections? Diet organizations feed on that kind of insecurity and fear, happily encouraging you into believing that something is wrong with you, especially if you're a plus size gal.
Hating yourself or your body will only compound your problems. Hating yourself brings depression which can stop you from achieving your goals.
Tips for self acceptance
1. Don’t compare yourself with anybody, you are unique.
2. Make a list of your best qualities and achievements. Are you a great listener, a loyal friend, a smart cook? Remind yourself often of your assets.
3. Stop weighing yourself. Reclaim your power from that miserable piece of scrap metal and step away the scale.
4. Wear clothes in flattering colors and styles that really fit you right now. Find local stores that carry plus sizes that are fashionable and comfortable.
5. Search online and find plus size women who have a look that you admire and take some fashion and style tips from them.
6. Become active, exercise not primarily to lose weight but to feel good, in doing so, you lose weight without knowing it.
A lot of  women  have excelled in their chosen fields and set records for others to follow despite being overweight; ONLY you can stop you from achieving and living your dreams.
