Outfit #1

Today I was at this cute little country winery with my family and as we sat there together listening to the live music I noticed this lady of about mid 20s to early 30s and she was wearing such a cute outfit that caught my eye.

She was wearing a gray sleeveless top with ruffles in the front that stopped about mid-way down and had it tucked into a black pencil skirt that hugged her body nicely and went to about mid-thigh. She paired this outfit with a cute pair of flats.

I went looking for similar pieces of clothing that represented this cute outfit and I found them at Banana Republic, Charlotte Russe, and H&M.

This shirt from H&M is similar to the one I saw earlier today.

I thought that this shirt fit this particular lady well because of her hourglass body shape. It hugged her body well, tapering in slightly at the mid-section, which accented her shape. Also this particular shirt works well for girls with a smaller chest like myself for two reasons. One reason would be the fact that the neckline is not extremely low cut; this takes attention away from the chest. Secondly, the ruffles create more "body" in the front to accent the chest, making it look fuller.

These skirts from Banana Republic are similar to the one I saw earlier.

This outfit would work with either a long skirt, or a shorter skirt, similar to the ones in these two images. This skirt hugged her body in a way that accented her hips well. It wasn't too tight making it look stretched out, and it didn't hide the shape of her body by being too baggy.

~If you're petite and would like to add some length onto your legs, then the shorter skirt would be the more ideal choice.

These flats from Charlotte Russe are similar to the ones I saw earlier.

You can put this outfit together with a pair of heels as well as a pair of flats like these.

This color matches well with this particular outfit shown because this shoe color matches the color of the shirt, but you don't have to stick to this particular type of color.

~~This outfit was also paired with silver jewelry.
