Prints Proportions

We all know that my usual duds are full of basics with a hint of interest. This dress is a full-on print, which is scary to me. Because I am petite, I am always conscious of being overwhelmed by my clothing and try my best to appear balanced. The shift shape of this dress combined with a medium-sized print, however, makes it easy to balance out. I think it may have been intended to be a tunic, but my short-stack can handle it as a short dress.

Here’s a tip for my petite ladies out there: if the garment is loose, show your knees. The proportion of showing your knees makes you appear longer! It’s all an illusion, but it works.

PS: Humble brag… I got 5 compliments on this outfit while wearing it. *blushes*
