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! 

  1. 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 the appearance of elongated legs! 

  1. Go crazy for a high cut one-piece! Just like a belted one-piece a high legged one-piece swimsuit will elongate your figure to make you look taller. One-pieces are also great if you do not like to wear a traditional bikini. In addition to this a high leg cut suit will also make your legs appear longer (and they are super cute I must say). 

  1. Don’t be afraid to choose a high waisted swimsuit bottom! I personally love high waisted bottoms because they instantly create a retro vibe to a swimsuit as well as the fact that they are extremely flattering on petite frames. High waisted bottoms are great if you are like me and have a long torso but very short legs. This is because high waisted bottoms raise your waistline while also lengthening the appearance of your legs. I’ve found these bottoms create a great sense of balance in a swimwear look. 

I hope these tips will help you on your shopping trip for swimsuits, especially right in time for summer! Thank you all so much for reading and good luck on your next swimwear shopping spree! I hope you have a wonderful rest of your week!

Much love!

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:)  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.

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.  ...
