i am a pear shape and no matter how hard i try, my legs are still unproportionally bigger than my top half. i am still a size zero (sometimes 2) in most jeans but i am really skinny on my top half, like i'm skinnier (from the hips up) than my 12 year old sister and i'm 17. i am 5'6" and weigh 110 pounds. is this an unnattractive shape?

and.. are there any good exercises to make my legs thinner? (i already run, do rowing, and tone them with weight machines at the gym)

I hate to say it, but all of the excersizes that you're doing are making your legs more muscular. This obviously doesn't mean you should stop them, just be aware.
As far as being attractive, it truly is all about how you feel about yourself. If you think you're a sexy bitch, you will be a sexy bitch. Grownups always say it, but it's really true. Anyway, if you are a size 2 in jeans there is no way that your bottom is that much bigger, and everything you see in the mirror is put under your critique because it is your body. If you saw another person with your exact same body you would most likely think they look good.
