As a pear shaped gal, I will take any and all steps to prevent any additional attention to my butt. Unfortunately, this lady does not feel the same:
The fly cluster on the bulls eye speaks louder then any clever retort I could deliver.

Pear shaped women, I’m talking to you! No matter how much weight we lose, our bottoms will always be bigger then our tops, and that is okay. As I have mentioned, dressing to maximize your pear shaped figure is an illusion and smoke and mirrors are the key to doing so stylishly.
Some simple steps to take to ensure that you are making appropriate clothing choices to flatter your body include:
At the end of the day, you got to work with your strengths. If you have any other style tips specifically catering to pear shaped gals, feel free to post your comments and share your knowledge with the world.

This photo made me throw up a little, so of course I had to subject the rest of you to the same pain and misery I am now feeling. It is bad enough this gentleman opted to dress like a banana, but seriously, I could have done without the split!
Pear Shaped women please note, showing your ass crack is never a fashion “do”. Purchasing bottoms that have a high enough waist line as to ensure that no bottom slippage will occur is the key to avoiding replicating this look. Seriously, this dude should be arrested for pushing crack.

It is only January 6 and I have broken my New Year’s resolutions not once, but twice!

The annual office party is the earned rite of passage for any employee. After months of toiling away for the man, the complimentary food, cocktails and entertainment are a well earned reward. Common sense dictates that drinking too much and copying your private parts are taboo behaviors but women face another risk of not being fashionable and appropriately attired. It is difficult not to be a victim of fashion trends when trying to observe the glamour of the season. I’m here to try to talk you down from your fashion ledge.
Remember, that when you “party’ with your coworkers you want to make sure that when you stumble back into the office after the celebration, all eyes are not on you. Regardless of your profession (unless of course you are working at the oldest one of turning tricks) you should consider:
Happy holidays from Pear Shapely and don’t do anything I wouldn’t do.

Can someone please let me know when it became appropriate to walk in public sans underwear? Perhaps it is because I come from the tail-end of the generation who was warned to always wear clean panties in case I was involved in an accident. Well, I guess this chick figured if she needs emergency care, her lack of underwear will make it easier for the paramedics to do their jobs.
As the kind and wise editors of the People of Walmart site have pointed out, at least she is in the proper aisle to purchase the necessary items to correct this fashion faux blah. Seriously, people need to think before they subject the rest of the world to their fashion indiscretions and subsequent Asscapades.

Even men can get involved in the asscapades game and of course this guy was shot in a Walmart parking lot:
My only hope is that his “jingle bells” are fully supported courtesy of his thong and commend the model for complementing the look with a Loverboy-esque headband. Thank goodness there are those dedicated to shopping at that store and sharing their disturbing finds with us.

Writing this blog has become a near daily experience for me and I have a ritualistic approach to generate my topics. With green tea in hand, I peruse my favorite websites in order to find inspiration for my postings. Time and time again PeopleofWalmart.com has become my safety net because of the absurdity they collect and today we have another Asscapades extravaganza:
What was this poor creature thinking when she left her house, ‘I paid $55 for the full Brazilian so I want to get my money’s worth?’ Seriously, I would gladly pay her back twofold to put her business under lock and key.
My dear pear shaped ladies, today’s fashion tip you need to always remember is that barring topless beaches in Europe, public nudity is not a viable option. Generally, if you are gorgeous and have a rocking body you will just come off as cheap. If your thighs have more ripples then the ocean then frankly, all the land-lubbers will get a little sea sick. Please be kind, and cover that behind!

Over the past couple of months, my friends have been quite curious with my obsession with all things pear shaped. All of my posse have been quite complimentary regarding the Pear Shapely blog, but honestly have no idea why I am dedicating my time to providing fashion tips for pear shaped bodies as they do not believe I have one. At this point I would like to channel my inner Doug Henning and respond with “The hard must become habit. The habit must become easy. The easy must become beautiful.”
Over the past couple of weeks I’ve gotten together with friends and strangers who literally made me stand up and point out what makes me a pear shaped gal as they have yet to discover the curves with their naked eyes. In their minds, pear shaped women are all extremely bottom heavy and there is no disguising the fact:
Granted, this lovely lass is sticking out her grand assets to make a point. In my mind, the point is if you do not watch what you eat, are not active and do not know how to drape your figure, all pear shaped figures have the potential of going off the deep-end.
Not so long ago myy hearty buttocks and I were known for a series of “Asscapades” that included using my butt to block air hockey pucks and mooning my friends. I was carrying an extra twenty pounds all in my pedunk-a-dunk and I wore a size 10-12 on the bottom while my top needed a size 6-8. Those two different sizes where the top measurements is narrower then the hip circumference equals a pear shaped figure.
Fast forward to now, where a change in my habits have resulted in a weight loss of over 20 lbs. My bottom now is a size 6 and my top usually fits into a size 4. No matter how much weight I gain or loss, I am a tried and true pear shaped figure.
Shopping, style and clothing have always garnered my enthusiasm and my multi-tiered career in the fashion industry has allowed me to pick up professional tricks for dressing myself. In turn, I want to be considered a resource for pear shaped ladies and will continue to share my insights and unique perspective with my Pear Shapely Brethren! Hopefully you are enjoying the experience as much as I am.

As some one who lived through the 80’s I have some memories. Some are fond, some are blurry and many of them are tainted with the recollection of really bad fashion. Mullets, frosted hair, acid wash, stirrup pants and enormous shoulder pads all evolved during this time period and with the “power of Greyskull” that is where it all should stay.
Unfortunately, one of these trends just won’t die are harem pants. The diaper like garment are being touted by many fashion magazines as the hot trend (for shame Lucky Mag). However, us common folk most likely associate this look with M.C. Hammer:
Even though his third album pleaded to the rap master “Please Hammer, Don’t Hurt ‘Em” this shapeless pant craze did exactly that. The Hammer was smart with his style choices. He picked up on a pant style that dated back to the 16th century and made it his own and the end result was brilliant marketing.
However if you are a pear shaped woman looking to put your mark on the harem pants movement, the simple answer is DON’T. The extra draping of the fabric will just add unwanted visual inches onto your lower torso plus it will always look like you are carrying an extra load of something.
Even gorgeous tennis pro Maria Sharapova had trouble pulling off this look and if anyone could look hot in a white, swaddle inspired style it is this vixen:
Even her lithe figure looks pear shaped sporting this craptastic style.
