All That Stuff Underneath All Those Other Stuff.

Traditional: an inherited pattern of thought or action.

I forgot I had this dress. I bought it for this party (dresscode was maxi floral dress) and I wouldn't have normally though just 'cause no maxi dresses fit me usually. It's really rare for me to find one the right length. This one is way too long for me (still. and probably will always be if I keep not growing at this pace) so I've never worn it out except for that party. Even with heels, it's still long. Anyways, I was looking through my clothes the other day and decided to do an outfit post with this dress! I actually love it and would wear it out, if only I could grow an extra inch overnight fit in it. It's very "spring" like, you know? The trick with maxi dresses is that I think a lot of people don't feel comfortable with wearing it because traditionally long dresses are worn to formal occasions and now more and more people are wearing it casually as well.

Platforms are like shoes for people that want heels with more heels. I love platforms. Heels just seem like flats with platforms. I guess its also to my advantage since I'm a dwarf relatively short so I can't go wrong with them.

Prints and Solids.

Sky high: Extremely tall; Excessively, exorbitantly; To a very high level.


Yes, I've noticed I've had an excessive amount of featured looks this past 2 days but oh well. I can't help notice these outfits now that I have that feature.

I was rummaging through some of my old stuff and found these items, which when put together, looks pretty good I think. It's a good combination of prints (the leopard print skirt) and the blue coat + red platforms. I really love full skirts and this one was a bargain.



These platforms are SO TALL. The heels are around 13cm tall. They're also really chunky.
I like.

 I really love the way this coat looks with the skirt. Since the skirt is full, the coat takes it shape, while being tied around the waist accentuates my hips and the shape of the skirt.

Red Suede.





These shoes are from Naima, a local Indonesian designer. Yes, I'm a size 37. And if you click on the picture you'll see it says (in fine print) "I was born in  Indonesia" which is the most adorablest thing I've ever seen printed on a pair of shoes (or its label I suppose).

Wearing these heels just make me look as tall as other people instead of towering over them, with the benefits of what high heels give you - illusion of long legs. I also really love accentuating my hips because my figure is very petite and this coat does exactly that.

Sometimes being short pays off,

Tammie.
