As a Petite Plus sized Apple shape, I have to accept the limitations of my size and height.
Seen below is my new Summer Nautical flavoured dress, styled as it is everywhere, with a denim jacket, flip flops, dark lipstick, and statement necklace. Nothing wrong with that, right?
Well...no. BUT it makes me look shorter, fatter, older, and rounder than I already am...lol!
Look at it here below, styled with nude wedges, bright lipstick, bright jacket that sits below the hips to add length to my torso, a sterling silver heirloom pendant, and orange clutch.
There's a difference, isn't there.
I think this look makes me look taller, more youthful, happier, healthier, more glowing, and slightly more slender, than the denim jacket version.
Lesson learned. Slim young things can wear the t-shirt dress-denim jacket-flipflop look.
I however, cannot, and should not. Not any more.
I need a column of colour centre front to slim my frame. I need a long, good quality pendant to add length and class to my ensemble. I need nude heels to lengthen my legs and add height to my silhouette. I need bright colours to take a few years off my age.
I know what to do. It's interesting, isn't it?
What do you think? Which look do you prefer?
