I know that I have covered some tips regarding shirts in my previous blog post but knowing more never seems to hurt! So, I have put together another list of ideas on how to style your shirts to make you look taller and slimmer. Below are a new few pieces of advice on how to choose shirts, blouses, and tops to flatter a petite frame. I hope you enjoy these ideas and find them useful:)  Try to stay away from bulky or highly textured garments.

I have tripled many times to wear those big fluffy winter sweaters but they typically do not flatter my figure very well. However if you really enjoy this style pick a thin sweater or garment to he

Blouses, Shirts, and Tops

Blouses, Shirts, and Tops Hello everyone!!! I hope that you are all doing well! I’ve decided that today would be a great day to discuss some tips regarding shirt styling. I have put together a list of ideas on how to style your shirts to make you look taller and slimmer. Below are a few pieces of advice on how to choose shirts, blouses, and tops to flatter a petite frame. I hope you enjoy these ideas and find them useful!  1. Wear fitted shirts. Tops that are fitted or semi-fitted tend to flatter petite frames. This is because loosely fitting clothing items may overwhelm your figure or even make you appear bulky when you are not. However, if you prefer to wear loose-fitting clothing try to balance out the look by wear one fitted item and one non-fitted item. A great example of this is pairing a large t-shirt with skinny jeans and high heels. This will create an elegant and balanced look that will help elongate your figure even when you wear a non-fitted item.  2. Choos

Getting Ready for Fun in the Sun

Getting ready for Fun in the Sun!!! Hello everyone!!! I hope that you are all doing well! Since summer is quickly approaching I figured in this blog I should cover a few pieces of styling advice I have for choosing swimsuits for a petite frame. I know that swimsuit shopping can be quite difficult for everyone but shopping as a petite woman has its additional sets of challenges (especially because there is essentially no such thing as petite swimsuit sizing). Also, being 5’3 and under we typically have shorter torsos and legs compared to standard sizing expectations. Therefore I have compiled a few tips to surviving swimsuit shopping!  Select a one-piece that is belted at the waist . I believe a belted one-piece is very flattering because the belt divides your body in separate proportions automatically creating the appearance of balance. Besides who doesn’t love a belt that accentuates your waistline! You could also select a swimsuit with a belt a bit above your waist to create

Accessories Are Necessities

Accessories are Necessities   Hello everyone!!! I hope that you are all doing well! In this blog I will be covering a few pieces of styling advice I have for choosing accessories for a petite frame! Personally, accessories are some of my very favorite items as they can add so much depth to an outfit. Whether it be a pair of dazzling hoops or the perfect belt I think accessories are extremely useful for dressing as a petite woman. Below I have a few tips on how to select the perfect accessories.  1. Choose boots that hit just above the ankle or even below the ankle! Since boots are a staple item it is very helpful to know which ones will look best on you! Ankle boots will always hit your legs at a flattering place so no matter what the boot looks like they will compliment you and your outfit. Although very high boots may be super cute these types of shoes often do not flatter shorter legs. However, if you do choose a longer boot pick one with a bit of a heel to it to help add heig

Jeans, Skirts and More!

Jeans, Skirts and More! Hello everyone!!! I hope that you are all doing well this week. On this lovely Saturday I will be covering a few pieces of styling advice I have for pants and petite fashion. Wear bell-bottomed jeans! I know this tip is quite out of the box however I am extremely biased toward retro denim or retro denim inspired looks. I have found that jeans with a flare at the bottom help elongate the look of your legs which is particularly useful for those with a petite figure. This is especially true is you pair these jeans with a shoe with a little bit of a heel (or a lot of bit of a heel if you are feeling spunky). Also, if full bell bottoms are not your cup of tea you could always opt for a slightly flared jean to achieve the same effect!  Another pant styling tip I have for you is to go for high-waisted pants or bottoms. High waisted pants not only bring you in at the waist to flatter your figure but they also elongate the appearance of your legs! You could even
