I need a pear shaped style icon!!

[Twiddlebum]

I'm currently 8 months pregnant and am planning a total style overall for after Christmas. I've read the book 'Madame chic lessons learnt in Paris' (or something like that) by jennifer L Scott and I thought it was brilliant.

Its basically about living simply, effortlessly and stylishly with a simple capsule wardrobe.

I also love the way she dresses..... Her blog is 'the daily connoisseur'

I would love to recreate her wardrobe using similar pieces but she is a different body shape to me.

I'm 5, 8 .... Usually a size 10-12 but very pear shaped. Most of her outfits are centred around her skinny jeans (a no no for me!!!)
Soooo does anyone know of a celeb or otherwise that dresses in this kind of simple, stylish Parisian way that I could get some style inspiration from for my pear shape body??

TIA

It's difficult, there's lots of stunning and stylish pear shaped celebrities like Beyonce, Kelly Brook, Shakira, Kate Winslet etc but none of them dress in the style your looking for.

I'm a pear/ hourglass shape and I love the style on the blog you mention but on other people. I would first look at shapes that suit you and then look at ways to suit the look you like. So for example a lovely dress with a fitted waist but in a all over chic colour rather than print.

I think suiting your shape is the most important. An item of clothing can be beautiful on the hanger or on someone else but will look frumpy or unstylish on someone it doesn't suit iykwim.

Maybe instead of looking for other celebs with the Parisian chic look try and identify pear shaped celebs and find inspiration in the style of denim and trousers they wear and put your spin on it. Pear shaped celebs that come to mind include:
Beyonce
Khloe Kardashian
Kourtney Kardashian (although she's short so tends to get away with skinny jeans)
Kelly Brooke

Maybe I could take the principles.... I.e 2 x jeans 3 x dresses 2 x jumpers 2 x cardigans 4 x t shirts 3 x blouse but find individual pieces that suit me and my body.

The only real difference I see I would have to make from her style is the jeans (swap for boot cut) and dresses (wrap dresses do nothing for me!)

I tend to wear navy, camel and tan as base colours (black/grey drains me) and jewel colours work well so purple/dark emerald etc

I think that sounds like a good plan. Maybe find things that suit you and then design a capsule wardrobe around them.
