Best Trousers for Pear Shaped Gals
Everyone knows about Express and the great fitting “Editor” pants. They work on all body types and are especially flattering on curvy girls. There is ample room in the buttocks and thigh, the trouser leg is flattering and the slightest bit of stretch makes sure that our shape will be appropriately flattered.
Although they all look great, there are some that are completely constructed of synthetic fabric and that, at least for me, is a big no-no. Ultimately artificial fiber is not breathable and really does not offer any protection from the elements. Every season I investigate options that include cotton, and what a gem we have this time round:
They are stylish, fashionable and can work amazingly well with any number of pieces that are already in your wardrobe. From a tailored tuxedo top, to a muscle tank to your favorite cardigan and beaten up boots, these pants should and will be worn to death.

Bold, structured pants deserves an accessory of equal caliber and the Heavy Metal bracelet will do the trick:
This bracelet has been one of my best sellers since I began offering it about a month ago. It will add the perfect amount of zest to compliment your new pant ensemble.

Best Swimsuits for Pear Shaped Lasses
Some may question my choice of writing about the best swim wear for Pear Shapely ladies on the first day of October. But if you are like me, I find the task of locating a cute, flattering and well fitting swim suit a year-long task and wanted to give y’all a head start on your 2010 season.
By far the best and easiest shopping experience comes courtesy of the “Build Your Own Bikini Shop” on Newport News. Dozens of combos can be made, so you can pick and choose the fabrics and cuts that work best for your particular figure and taste. My favorite summer selection of this year was built from the “High Contrast” collection.
For this option I selected the Shape fx® Bust-Enhancing Hardcup Top combined with the Shape fx® Concealing Skirted Bottom.
Yes, I have curves, but my stomach is awesome and deserves to see the light of day! If you feel the same you will be glad to know that these items are now on sale for $19 for the top and $24 for the bottom.
Shopping Tip-The best time to shop for any seasonal item (including winter coats, boots, air conditioners and swim wear) is off season as that is when consumers will benefit from the steepest discounts. As a Pear Shapely lady, I truly do not care if the pattern of my swimsuit follows the latest trend as fit is the number one factor for me. The only downside through shopping at Newport News are the shipping costs as if you do not like the fit you will be responsible for paying both the initial and return shipping charges. With that in mind you should consider:
- Buying a large selection of swimsuits to justify the costs of shipping
- Measure yourself with a tape measure and follow the sizing charts posted
- Be at least 95% sure of the purchase you are going to make
- Sign up for email blasts from the company as they sometimes will send discounts via email
- Check out Retail Me Not to see what online discount codes they may have for the site
My main goal of a swim suit is swimming, but it does not mean that a girl cannot properly glam up the look. On that note, Hurricane by Jane offers a great styling piece for two-piece looks called the Crystal Multitaskers in both sterling silver and gold filled.
Both these pieces are handcrafted by me, feature 28 dangling teardrop briolette crystals and measure a whopping 36″ long. The dainty clasp allows these pieces to be worn in a number of ways including as a waist chain or anklet for the skin bearing months. No need to wait for summer for this purchase as this piece also makes an excellent long necklace, double wrapped neck decor or bracelet either for yourself or for a gift for your loved one.
Please feel free to contact me through my ETSY boutique if you have any questions regarding purchasing pieces from the Multitasker Collections. I am more then happy to customize the length of this and all jewelry I make.
