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!

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...
