Lengthen your look.
I bought this maxi at Forever 21. My Husband really liked it, and since he mostly hates my clothes (not hates, more like is perplexed as to why I need so many since he does the laundry) I bought it because it made me feel pretty. After Mom took these pictures I was particularly pleased though because I look TALL. Check me out with my tallness:
I wore my thrifted denim jacket, a purple Hanes t-shirt tucked into a cotton Forever 21 striped maxi, Mossimo studded booties, fringed Vegan tote, and my jade necklace that I made myself.
And do you know who else was in a printed maxi and purple t-shirt? My baby sister Stephanie, aka Duckie.
Can you tell she's about a foot taller than me? I can't hate her for it though!
And for your viewing pleasure here was Duckie's and Ash's date for the day, our nephew, Hunter:
Isn't he sweet?

Thanks! It was like $11.80 at forever 21.
He's like Honey you wear a uniform, why do you need 8 blazers?
You know, I almost never wear striped but I love this!
I also really want a bright one, like an azure blue!
Exactly. I'm 5'2".
They do. It was literally the only thing my Husband let me buy. He veto'd everything else.
Such a cheapie little tote from Target!
I bought the pendant for $1.99 and the chain for $1. $3 total and all i had to do was add a ring to hang the pendant from the chain.
I had to size down! I needed a medium, the large swallowed me, and I am thick in the middle. They had the beige and black striped but beige makes me look naked.
Thank you Melody. Hunter is an absolute doll!
Thank you Laurina! My Mom takes my photos.
I too recently thrifted a nice Denim Jacket. I love that Maxi Skirt and want one like it. The Turquoise Necklace looks lovely next to the Cobalt Blouse. Adorable Baby Photo, too. =) I pinned this lovely Outfit.
Thanks! That's my nephew. The skirt is still available at Forever 21.
