Good Morning readers, since this is my second maxi dress post with one more to follow, I am officially naming this week: Maxi Week! Recently, a petite friend of mine said that she would like to start wearing more maxi dresses, but that she feels extra short and frumpy when wearing one. Since I am also petite in height, she asked me if I could show her the best ways for petite women to pull off maxi dresses.  Luckily for her, maxi dresses along with flare jeans and high-wasited skirts, are one of the best items of clothing to make yourself appear taller and leaner. Choosing a maxi dress with an empire waist or high slits will make your legs seem longer.  You can also wear your tallest pair of heels beneath a maxi without slits to make yourself look taller. It’s like an illusion and no will know because your shoes are hidden. See for yourself in yesterday’s posts here–>A Whole Mu World

  If you’re only 5′ ft and super petite like myself, it’s best to avoid any type of maxi with a drop waist because that will only make your legs look even shorter. I think maxi dresses with slits through the legs are the most flattering type of maxi because it allows movement and shows off your shoes. This maxi dress that I wore for my last WBRZ News segment is the perfect example of a flattering maxi dress for petite women because it has a nice empire waist, high slits for movement and the change in the print creates a breaking point from the waist to the rest of the dress giving it a more slimming affect on the body.

For all of my friends in New York, VSA will be hosting their second trunk show at Bergdorf Goodman! Virgins Saints & Angels is one of my longtime favorite lines of jewelry to wear as everyday jewelry. Don’t get me wrong, they have a ton of statement pieces, but I have always loved their long pendant necklaces to layer on with my other everyday necklaces. My favorite is the San Benito Charm Necklace, which is picture above.

June 26&27 on the beauty level – showing hair accessories
June 28&29 on the 5th floor – showing jewelry
This will be the first showing of their fourth collaboration with Disney- the Hook Collection, based on the character from Once Upon a Time.

Outfit: Current Elliott Soho Stilletto Zip Skinnies | Graphic Tiger Sweatshirt via The Elizabeth Chronicles (local NOLA tee designers) | Pointy Toe Claire Pumps c/o Sam Edelman (or here) | Vintage Leopard Print Clutch c/o Rorin  (local NOLA handbag designer) | Marc by Marc Jacobs Hiller Hobo | Rayban Flash Lens Sunglasses | Ballet Saxon Flats c/o Dee Keller (Local Baton Rouge designer)

Jewelry: Evil Eye Ring c/o Candy Apple Boutique | Double Tiger Ring c/o Reagan Charleston Design | Michael Kors Watch

Good Morning readers, yes that is me roaring like the tiger in the photo above. Today I’ve styled this cozy graphic sweatshirt by The Elizabeth Chronicles two different ways! For my first look, I paired the sweatshirt with pointy toe pumps, my Marc by Marc Jacobs Hiller Hobo, my green flash lens raybans and finished the outfit by draping a leather jacket over it.

For my second look, I went more casual with a pair of flats, but still fun with the vintage leopard print clutch and blue lens shades! I love how how the sweet ballet flats add an expected twist to the coated skinnies with zipper details.

I absolutely love this graphic tiger sweatshirt! I’ve only styled it two ways here, but there are many other ways to wear it! How would you style this graphic sweatshirt? Shop more designer-inspired graphic tees and tanks by my favorite local tee designers The Elizabeth Chronicles !

Check out the second way I styled it below!
