lovely wear:

April 11, 2012


I was pretty excited when I found this skirt at a thrift shop for only $3. It was a matching set and included a top too (with shoulder pads!) but that would probably be too matchy-matchy .. plus not sure about shoulder pads although I'm sure they'll make their way back in one day ;) I am really liking polka dots right now too.

I really like this length for skirts because I'm kind of on the short side (I'm just under 4' 11") and I feel taller in this mid-length type of skirt. Don't get me wrong, I like being short. It'd just be nice to actually be able to buy jeans that are the right length on me w/o having to fold them or sew them (and I never get around to sewing anything) Any other short friends out there? ;)

Skirt: Vintage
Top & Sweater: Jcrew
Shoes: DSW, brand nine west vintage.
Necklace: handmade

20 hello's:

  1. I love your lovely wear posts! You always inspire me to try new colors and put different prints together and accessories with unconventional pieces! I actually just purchased my first pair of Seychelles shoes after seeing you wearing them :) thank you for sharing!

  2. Adorable skirt! Yes! I'm about 5'1" & I'm definitely more of a skirt/dress person because of the folding/sewing of jeans! Love this outfit & the mixing of patterns.

  5. Not quite as short - I'm 5'2", but I generally never get skirts longer than this because I don't like them to make me look shorter, either.

  12. So cute!
    I am short too we're about the same height - I'm 4'11" and 3/4! But I never wear heels they hurt my feet!

    Oh, funny thing is that I sent a style question about how to appear taller to Ruche several weeks ago and they answered my question! You can see it here:

  17. Yes...another short person here. I'm a little under 5' and the only jeans I've found that fit me without hemming are Banana Republic jeans. If you wash them they shrink a little too! I usually get them at the outlet cuz they are cheaper.
