I see your picture everywhere. A million dollar fairytale.
Been meaning to put up a fashion inspiration post, so here it is!


First up: white tights!

In the past I hadn't been a fan of white tights; they struck me as too childish or something? idk. But in the last year it suddenly hit me that if paired with the right clothing/colors, white tights could be really stylish.
Related to the mustard-colored coat above:




Clothing in yellows and oranges--as a pop of color in otherwise neutral outfits (ignore the all orange suited lady in the bottom left pic).

Eeeeee, what a fabulous skirt pattern! ♥
Next up:




A more androgynous look. I really like Freja Beha in the bottom right pic. And I loveeee more masculine suits. But I don't think 4'10" me would be able to pull it off. But who knows! I have this awesome blazer that I'm itching to wear.



Mixing up of patterns/textures.





Shorts! Honestly, I don't wear shorts at all out in public. But I've suddenly felt like wearing them this year idk.




Neutral casual.

And preppy casual!
And now for some images I like, but am unsure what category to put them under:

And don't let your height inhibit you from wearing teh fashion pretties! Speaking of which, I need to find a good-ass skirt for myself.
I can't wait until it's my Spring Break ._.

I think I will attempt more masculine looks like the ones in this post. The suits look so polished! Maybe I'll start small and pair a crisp shirt and tie with one of my skirts. A good tailor is what I need to find, I think. This would help in getting the perfect fit for trousers and blazers.
I've gotten really good at finding skirts for myself. I'm a boyish body type with a longish torso, so I go for high-waisted skirts, or emphasize my waist with a-line skirts and cinching in with belts or these sashes I picked up off of AA when they were half off.
There was a post on Jezebel that gave tips on how to dress different body types that I found informative (especially since users also commented in with their tips). I need to find it again to share with you.

good-asspretty-looking scarves also (the square-shaped ones not the stringy looking things)! D: I need to make a list so I don't over-indulge on stuff. >.>no subject
Square scarves like the ones that you put on like this? Oh man, I need to make a list, too. There are certain clothing items I really want, but when I go to the store I get very *_* at a bunch of other items. MUST RESIST URGE TO BUY.

I know that feeling very well. I should something that stops me whenever I grab for something I'm not looking for (but buying anyway) D:
