Happy Friday everyone! I'm no longer using my phone as a camera, I'm using my amazing new Canon Rebel XT and it is awesome. But I have to say, now all of my flaws, blemishes and stray hairs are there in perfect clarity! It's a little intimidating! And my little Iz is pretty dang good because the camera may have changed, but my little photographer is still the same! I've worn this maxi dress once before but I saw this tutorial on Pinterest and it easily transformed my dress into a skirt. via…
I’ve been saying my olive pants have become one of my closet staples and are among my most worn bottoms, so I thought I’d do a little remix recap with them. I knew I’d worn them a lot, but seeing them all together in one place–sheesh man. I really have worn them a lot! I also have some pretty strong themes in here, and seeing them all is inspiring me with new ways I can break out. First, some of the themes: Olive + navy – It appears I love it, because I did it a ton. Navy sweater, navy…

I’m a short girl who loves fashion, and damn, it’s hard. Most clothing simply wasn’t made with petite girls in mind, and while a lot of brands have gotten better about offering a petite selection, it still isn’t that great. Most of the time, the petite section is tiny, with not a lot of options – and sometimes, even the shorter lengths are still too long on me. I’m not sure what the fashion definition of “short” is, but I guess it’s not 5’0.
A petite stature has its advantages. For instance, you always look younger than your actual age. But there are drawbacks as well: you need to carefully choose your clothes and accessories because an unsuccessful combination can easily "shorten" your figure and deprive it of its gracefulness. The editors of Bright Side asked top stylists for advice on how to properly accentuate a petite stature and checked out their recommendations with the help of a charming model.

Petite Style Guide: What to Wear if...
If you are 5ft 3 or under you’ll know all about the struggle of finding clothes that fit you perfectly. So we’re here to help with some handy style tips.
Do you often find clothes are too long, too large, or both? Forget endless hours trying to figure out how to fix the problem (alter? Add a belt? Try a smaller size?) DP has come to the rescue with our best Petite Collection yet. Hurrah! What a time to be petite.
But if that wasn’t good enough, here’s our petite style guide on how to create outfits that will flatter your figure and make you appear just that little bit taller. Ready for a confidence boost? Read on!
First thing’s first, the 2/3 – 1/3 rule is the one fashion experts swear by when it comes to petite figures. It consists of building outfits that will create the right proportion to your smaller frame. To adhere to this rule, dresses will always come in handy but if you’re using separates wear bottoms that are 2/3 of your body and tops that cover the remaining 1/3. This will prevent you from splitting your figure in half horizontally, which would automatically result in a shorter looking silhouette.

There are no half measures when it comes to the length of your dress or skirt if you’re petite. You’ll look best in either a short hem (hello legs!) or a long one (midi or maxi, either way below the knee). While a short hem will make your legs appear longer by revealing more of them, longer hems will on the other hand create a continuous line that will trick the eye and make the lower half of the body look longer than it actually is. Win!
As mixing and matching prints can become a bit overwhelming for smaller figures, if you love prints opt for co-ordinates (aka sets of top and bottom in the same print) and favour smaller prints to big ones. If however prints are not your cup of tea choose monochromatic outfits – that is to say the same colour (or different shades of it) from head to toe which will give the illusion of a longer looking figure.
Whether you choose palazzo or cropped trousers, high-rise can be more flattering than low. Wide leg trousers and culottes are having a moment, however they can be very tricky for petite girls. Either go for extra-long and dramatic or cropped and ankle-baring. While the first will need heels and will create the illusion of longer legs from the waist down to the floor, the latter can be worn with either heels or flats but make sure you show the right amount of ankle – avoid mid-calf lengths as they will virtually crop your legs in half and break the 2/3 – 1/3 rule.
But what about jeans? High-rise skinny jeans are the best option because they create a slimmer silhouette, which will elongate your figure vertically. Once again dare to bare your ankle by choosing ankle grazers or simply roll up your normal skinny jeans.
If you’ve never had a go-to neckline, let the V-neck become your new best friend. On top of being extremely feminine and occasionally sexy (which makes it easier to take them from desk to dinner) V-necks will elongate your neck and chest area making the upper half of your body appear longer. Get yourself a V-neck dress, a building block of every great wardrobe!
Avoid boxy or excessively baggy tops and tuck in your shirt where you can to reveal the lower half of your body which might otherwise be overwhelmed by your upper half. Remember that if you are a fan of baggy clothes it’s always better to balance them out with a tighter counterpart (baggy top with tight bottoms or vice-versa).

The trick is simple: the more of your feet you reveal, the longer your legs will look, meaning crops and culottes can be a petite girls best friend. Heels will always give you those extra inches, but if your feet need a day off opt for pointed-toe flats which will help make your feet look longer and by association make your legs look longer too! The colour of your shoes is important too: go for a colour that matches either your skin tone or your trousers, as if they were an extension of them. As for boots, avoid mid-calf ones and go for either ankle boots or tall ones.
High slits in skirts and dresses will make your legs look longer while vertical prints and lines will elongate your figure. Choose mini bags over maxi ones which might look way too big on you and be careful when layering and accessorising: in this case less is definitely more!
