“Clothes mean nothing until someone lives in them.” – Marc Jacobs
I don’t own too many maxi dresses, as they are usually WAY too long for someone my height. This dress in particular was bought in a petite size, so no alterations were necessary. I find that Anthropologie offers some of the best petite selections, however, they are often only available online. If unable to buy a dress perfect for your height, don’t hesitate to find a good seamstress. I cannot recommend Seams to Fit in Windsor enough – she’s amazing!
Other stores that have petite sizing include: Ann Taylor, Ann Taylor Loft, ASOS, Banana Republic, J. Crew, Nordstrom
Dress: Plenty by Tracy Reese via Nordstrom. Sunglasses: Karen Walker. Necklace: J.Crew. Bracelet: Anthropologie. Bag: Louis Vuitton “Neverfull”. Lips: Dior 999.
Now, let’s talk lipstick. I LOVE red lips. I find that every time I look at lipstick, I’m gravitated towards shades of red. Red is classic and flattering. Here are some of my favourite reds (left to right, bottom to top):
MAC Matte – Diva A74
Colorpop Satin Lip – Lost
MAC Matte – Viva Glam I AC3
YSL Gloss Volupte – Fauve 208
