Continuing on with our quest to Crack the Body Enigma... Today we are discovering the Irresistible Inverted Triangle! You, my dear lady, are blessed, truly. My favorite IIT would have to be be Jessica Simpson. And I’ll tell you why: This woman is a talented designer and businesswoman, gorgeous, and hilarious to boot. But I have seen some of the terrible things said about her and her struggle with weight, especially before and after the birth of her daughter, Maxwell.

Out of all the body types out there, the Ravishing Rectangle posed the biggest challenge for me as a Blogger... and not because it’s tough to define, but because you have so many choices! Ravishing Rectangles are seen all over the runways these days... their tall lean bodies make one of the best choices for showing off the latest fashions! Besides for just about every runway model out there, some other famous RRs include Cameron Diaz, Natalie Portman, Gwen Stefani, Hilary Duff, and Nicole Kidman. You see them on the red carpet in some of the most beautiful pieces, and they always look feminine. This is the biggest challenge for RRs... creating curves!

As promised, we are tackling another body shape this week! Let's talk about the Terrific Triangle. This is a very common body shape that I come across in my image consulting business, and often times the women I work with don’t realize the fantastic shape they have! Just look at some famous Terrific Triangles in Hollywood: JLo, Beyonce, Rhianna, and Tyra Banks.

So ladies, as promised... we are going to spend the next few weeks talking about the different body types. Before you start thinking about the fruit on your kitchen table (you know... apple, pear...) I’ll let you know right now.... we don’t refer to ourselves as fruit (Rule numero uno), we are WOMEN. Beautiful, confident, unique women. The great thing about all of the different body types..... there are wonderful perks to each and every one of them! Today, we are going to talk about The Hourglass.
