petite, fabulous, and broke

PETITE: Basic rules: heels = height; mini skirt = more leg; heels + mini skirt = longer legs!

FABULOUS: Thrifted designer clothing is a rare find, but my boyfriend and his friend found this Givenchy sweater! I have no shame in second hand, as long as the piece looks like it is from another era, and of course, cleaned first!

BROKE: These platform booties from Necessary Clothing! AMAZING.

Last year, I loved the sweater and shorts look. Ever since last fall, my new style goal is to dress more feminine, meaning more skirts and dresses and less jeans! My other goal is to mix more prints. Throwing in a printed mini skirted with this logo-printed sweater works, since the skirt is black and white so that the sweater's color can pop. 

The neckline is closer to my neck than I would like, so I play it down with a fur collar. The shape of the inner part of the fur collar gives an illusion of a lower neckline and a lift of my bust. Without it, my chest would look lower than it really is because of the higher location of the v-neck. The sweater is huge, so the collar also gives an illusion of a smaller surface area so I do not look swallowed up by my top.

PS: Winter + Spring = Spinter :)
