Love them but have no clue how to wear. Cannot wait for the tops. Bought some grey velvet ankle boots from Next. Not sure whether they are staying, have you seen them? Love the colour and the velvet but they are very high. Bring on the tops posts looking forward to it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15009763197770258465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2534534978347181935.post-39523435280946497782016-08-29T09:42:00.722-07:002016-08-29T09:42:00.722-07:00They are on their way, fear not!!

And make sure - if you wider at the hips, that something nips in at the waist. Definitely heels would help to balance the silhouette.

Unless the boots were very close to the leg. Being petite, I might be concerned about there being too much going on in a small area - if that makes sense??!! Alternatively would you contemplate with trainers? Sock boots with a heel are another idea. I appreciate it's hard but there definitely are shorter people who do wear them and look amazing! It's all about proportion... and getting used to something outside of your comfort zone! (which definitely isn't just the domain of the petite...!!)

Midi - no, maxi - no, mini not with bare legs, shorts - no, bare leg issue again. Oh I know what - how about jeans for a change? Perhaps I should invent something for us short people with knobbly knees!

Never knew about Hush before. Now got several items including etoile tee and loved the rayon pleat dresses ( got 2 ) in the recent hot weather. Your writing style always makes me grin so widely that it is therapy after a long days work....eg. the midriff tyre and yes the "fandango" -- I was laughing so loudly that my kids thought I was going bonkers. <br />Jyothihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07923811253908201655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2534534978347181935.post-4434352626629464312016-08-25T12:33:08.323-07:002016-08-25T12:33:08.323-07:00i agree, the midi skirt and wide crops are so hard...i agree, the midi skirt and wide crops are so hard for me to wear at 5ft3. i try so many on but cant find any which suit.
