Today we're sharing an outfit that highlights our assets. Admittedly, at 51 years of age, I'm still not very good at buying things that work best for my body. I tend to be impulsive with my fashion choices, and if I like something, it goes in my closet. And then it sits there because it's not right for me and I shouldn't have bought it. Something to work on.
This, however, is an outfit I should wear more often. Have I mentioned that I'm tall? Yes? I feel like I talk about it all the time, because truthfully I've always wished I could chop a few inches off my height. But it is what it is, so lately I've been wearing higher heels and embracing my verticalness. (Hmm...spell check says that isn't a word...but Google says it is, so it's staying).
I'm wearing a column of color which elongates the body and makes you appear taller. The sweater coat breaks up all that black and adds visual interest. It could probably be a bit longer, but I think the proportions still work. If you want to look like you've suddenly grown a few inches, this is one way to go.
How about you? Do you dress for your body type, or is it a free for all like me?

Yes, to embracing your tallness! As a shorty I have always thought if I were tall I would hold my head high and accent it as much as possible. :) You look amazing in this and that floral cardigan is a fabulous piece! I think I try to dress for my body type and highlight my assets, but still like playing around with it a bit.

Girl, you are supermodel tall and amazing with those long legs! But I know what you mean about impulse shopping - I have a whole pile of it in my room waiting to go to goodwill!

Isn't funny what we want - I wish I was taller - and I think how blessed you are for height! I try to be really conscious of what works for me - but there are those times. I have this "cow" sweater in my drawer that I am not sure what I was thinking.
