Finding Clothes that are Flattering for You

After nearly a decade of professionally styling looks, I can easily decipher what will (and what will not!) flatter my body type. But if you’re still trying to figure that out, one of the first things to consider is your height. Are you petite, average height, or tall?! If the latter two best describe you, congratulations, you can “handle” more clothing! If you are petite like me, stay away from long swooping garments that can swallow you. This look has nothing in common with a potato sack, and the midi length only works because of the thigh high slit. Now what parts of your body are you most proud of? Maybe you have killer abs, or legs for days. In that case, show them off with a crop top and/or a mini skirt or dress. I have worked hard for my “bar arms,” so I put them on display by wearing halter and strapless items.

I think it is very obvious from these photos that this skirt is a fit and flare garment. This silhouette is very popular because of its ability to shape you into an hourglass figure – even if you don’t really have one! Another reason to love this beige two-piece set. For only $78, you are getting a standout piece and some. Now take your pick…also available in black and white now you just need a special occasion to rock this thing!

The only thing better than wide leg pants are lace-up wide leg pants! These party pants are a conversation starter! The fit is ultra flattering featuring a high-rise waist and fit and flare silhouette. If you are looking for a way to accentuate your cures, this is it! Aside from the good shape, the fabric is smooth and comfortable. Petite girls rejoice…the cropped hem actually fits me ankle length. Now styling them is simple. All you need is a reliable crop top. Think white, or beige.

What do you think, are these pants New York Fashion Week contenders?! I am already thinking of alternative ways to style them, and if you follow me on Instagram stories, then you know how I spiced them up for dinner last night. To be continued…

While eager to experiment with a full maxi for quite some time now, finding the right one was rather challenging. The whole potato sack thing doesn’t look good on a five foot frame! I knew the skirt had to be structured, and fitted at the waist…not to mention the right length. When I came across the “Glam Stripes Cutout Maxi Skirt” by chic wish, I knew it was going to be the right fit. Not only was it all of the above, but the length was customizable and the skirt was constructed out of see-through fabric. A shorter lining underneath sheer garments is one of my favorite product features – it allows you to show off some leg even though you are covered. I truly believe this detail resolves “short people problems.”

This look is GG approved

If pink isn’t your thing, I am happy to report this piece is also available in red or black. With spring flings on my mind, I chose “peach.” This time around, I styled it with an ivory button-down top – but not your average button-down! This shirt features a sleeveless bodice, a cropped hemline, and a cutout back. Incorporating a fitted feminine blouse is an easy way to balance out the fullness below. I polished off the look with a pearl belt, nude pumps, and a metallic pink clutch. I’m already dreaming about the black skirt with an edgy black bodysuit for wear during the autumn/winter months…
