Vertical Stripes: A Petite Woman's Best Friend
Some of us are vertically challenged and it is totally okay! I am 5'2" and my height usually goes unnoticed until my 4 or 5-inch heels are off. People will say "Wow! Sierra I did not realize that you are so short!" and sometimes I can't believe that I am so short either lol. Couldn't I have grown to at least 5'5" or 5'6"?
Given that I am a short, petite woman, I have to make sure that I choose clothing that compliments my body type. Clothing that compliments your body type is really important in the case of making you look good. An outfit is nothing if it only looks good on the hanger and terrible when you put it on. Always remember to keep that in mind!
One style in particular that I love to wear is VERTICAL STRIPES! When I wear vertical stripes, it actually makes me look taller than I really am. Petite women should specifically chooses "skinny" vertical stripes to elongate their figures. the illusion of looking taller is really achieved when 4 or 5-inch heels are added to the equation.
I purchased this white and burgundy striped two-piece set from House of Chic LA a few months ago and couldn't wait to wear it. I decided to wear a burgundy crop top that I bought from Marshall's last year and burgundy, chunky heels from Charlotte Russe. I can't remember where I bought my necklace but it is one of my faves. did you figure out that burgundy is my favorite color?
