I've been making a daily effort to dig deep into my vast clothing collection and pull out items I haven't worn in awhile. It's been fun to see my "old friends" and remember why I've held onto some pieces for so long.
While flipping through my closet yesterday, I ran across the gem pictured below. A great t-shirt dress from Old Navy that I bought a year or two ago when I wanted to feel confident at a big meeting I was part of. The shoes have been mine for I don't know how many years...a deep discount JCPenney find is what I'm thinking. They're classic in both style and color, so I could never part with them. The tan in the shoes went well with the tan in the floral print of the dress, so I thought I'd give it a try. I love the way this dress falls (although the length is borderline too short for work) I believe the loose cut, crew neck, and longer sleeves balance that out. The shoes made my legs look a mile long, which is great because I'm a shorty. The floral print is bold and makes me smile when I look at it (that's really why I bought it!). Let your style bloom! Dig deep in those closets and show the pieces that have been gathering dust that you still appreciate them.

I have been (overly) into a less exaggerated form of harem pants over the past few months. I have a collection of about five pairs of different cuts and colors that I scored at a deep discount. I wear them casually with flats and professionally with heels.
I absolutely love how comfortable they are and I feel really confident in them...Mostly because I love any pant or skirt with a high waist that falls at the smallest part of my body, just below my ribs. I also like how they taper at and accentuate the ankle, because that is another area of my body that I like to draw attention to. The grey pair of pants pictured below ride a little lower, but still have a fairly high waist. I normally pair these pants with a fitted t-shirt or top to balance the volume of the pant. In this particular outfit, I wore one of my favorite pairs of heels that are made of a cool grey mixed with black, faux snakeskin. I prefer heels with these pants, again, to help balance the volume. I'm short and I don't think these pants are really made for someone of my height...Heels help me pull of this look, otherwise I look a little "squat." I'd encourage you to take a risk and try a pair of these pants out. You won't regret it, based on comfort factor alone! |
