{Purple Haze}

{Purple Haze} Witchery shimmering dress on petiteplayground.blogspot.com


I love the colours on this dress – they remind me of those pink and purple and golden sunsets that steal my breath away. The shimmering silk and feminine cut is very much “me” and this is my go-to dress for special occasions – formals and birthdays. This is one of those dresses that make me feel beautiful. To me, it is important that what I wear makes me feel good about myself. It is not about dressing for others’ approval, but putting in the few extra steps so that I know I am presenting my true self to the world.

I have very few v-neckline dresses/tops in my wardrobe – because I know I am never going to have the curves to make it work. Despite this, I couldn’t resist this dress and had to have it. I have added in this gold leaf necklace (which I pinned here) to provide a focal point centred above the v. V-necklines are a great way for short women to look thinner and taller – they help to elongate the neck and torso. What do you think of the results?

{Paperbag Goodness}

{Paperbag Goodness} Fuscia paperbag shorts and yellow stripe tee on petiteplayground.blogspot.com
One of my favourite summer pieces are paper bag shorts (and paper bag pants for winter of course). They are roomy, comfy and a bit dorky which makes them so endearing! I have balanced the bright fuchsia colour of these shorts with a more understated stripe tee for a wear-everywhere summer look.

I posted about this Marcs tee here and soon after caved and bought it - it is actually my first stripe tee! Stripe tees really embody casual chic to me (and Marcs does them so well). I am already thinking of getting more... (like this one: Breton 2 Colour Stripe Tee)
