Blouses, Shirts, and Tops Part 2

Blouses, Shirts, and Tops Part 2

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 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:) 

  1. Try to stay away from bulky or highly textured garments. Although these items are typically very cute and trendy they may not complement a petite frame. Unfortunately sweaters and other textured items may appear boxy or bulky. 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 help it fit your body better.                       
  2. Do not be afraid to pick items with 3/4 sleeves. Although it may seem like this kind of blouse would make your arms look shorter these garments have the exact opposite effect. Shirts with 3/4 sleeves often help create an illusion of longer arms on petite women and can help you look longer and leaner. I also think 3/4 sleeve blouses are perfect for the spring and fall months as they provide just enough coverage to keep you comfortable and looking fabulous                         
  3. Go for light-colored tops! A light-colored top can add flare to your outfit and suit your figure very well. Also light colors are easily paired with shoes and slacks to make a monochromatic look. Light monochromatic looks are not only Elagabalus but they also are extremely flattering on petite figures as the create the appearance of length.                                                                  
  4. Do not be afraid to have fun with your blouses and apply your own style to these tips! 

I hope these tips will help you with your shopping journey to find the perfect top. I feel these tips will help you achieve a very complimentary look for your frame! Thank you all so much for reading! I hope you have a wonderful rest of your week! 

Much love!

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 cr...

Welcome!!!

Hello everyone!!! Welcome to Angela's Petite Fashion Survival Guide! As a girl sizing up to the massive height of 5'0" tall, I have had my fair share of fashion disasters. This includes all the dreaded long baggy jeans, awkward length skirts and shopping in the children's section. But through all these fashion nightmares, I have also found a love for clothing and how much it has to offer in regards to personal creativity. To me, clothing is an outlet to show who you are whether it be to stand out with a bold print, reference a previous age with a vintage look or keeping it simple with athleisure. So, with all the opportunities that clothing gives to us, I feel like there is not a super inclusive place for petite women in the fashion industry. Because of this, I am creating this blog as an outlet to showcase my adventures as a petite shopper. Through this journey, I look forward to sharing all the ups and downs as well as the tips for surviving clothing shopping as a ti...
