STYLE HOW TO

So i decided to start a little piece I'm currently calling "style how to". So i have been asked by a few friends (who apparently think i have some kind of stylishness) questions regarding their style.

Okay - first disclaimer - these are my opinions - and if you disagree with any of my choices - then feel free to push that little "x" at the top left of your browser ;) problem solved!

Now for the fun part. Lets talk fashion!

How to - Dress a body with long legs and a short torso.

So the great part about this type of body is you can decieve others into thinking you are taller by what you wear. Its an optical illusion and art at its best - on the body!

You're High-waisted (short waist) if:

You don't normally tuck your tops and blouses
You don't usually wear belts on your waist
You often find pants and jeans are too short. However if you're Petite you might find that average bottoms fit you.

Cameron Diaz is an example of a body figure with short legs and long torso.

Style ideas

Tops with interest above bust (eg. ruching, interesting neckline)
Tops with vertical details to slim and elongate torso
Accessories and details that draw the eye down like for example print skirt, sash belt. If you're petite go for vertical prints.
Medium long to long tops. If you are short, avoid going below knuckle length
Jackets and sweaters that end at hip-level or below
Bras that keep your girl high and perky - making your torso look longer
Untucked tops
Low rise pants and skirts
Bags that end around hip-level
Dark colored top to elongate your torso and light colored bottom
Flats or shoes with low heel

war with your closet

Theres always that morning when you feel like nothing looks just right, your going through outfits and throwing them aside - and all the while feeling a bit rushed because (if your a mommy) you have to get the kids ready as well. Those days are frequent here, let me tell ya!

There are so many bloggers who can devote lots fo time to finding the perfect combinations of outfits - and seriosuly they rock. I am a firm believer that your closet is what you make of it - everyone has pieces that could be a total hit when put together. Its just…the knowing how and the trying things until you get it. When i put stuff together (usually rushed) sometimes i say "dang, nice job" - because i frequently talk to myself and all. Then lots of other days there is that nothing looks right or feels right.

Here's my advice:

{1 } take time for yourself - evaluate your closet - really see whatcha got in there. Remember that old sweater that you used to despise allll the way in the back desolate dark area, that could be used with a new piece or throw a scarf on over it, a belt even.
