I own a few great dresses, but finding one that hugs me in all the right places is hard to come by, which is why I usually stick to two pieces; a top and a fitted skirt. Since I have a lean body shape, (as most petites do) this is also my trick to creating curves. The skirt hugs you to create shape so whether you go with a loose blouse or structured one, all you need to do is tuck it into the skirt, and you're all set. 

The top can always be worn as a blouse with jeans and the skirt can be layered under a long knit sweater come Fall. Yeah, I know, you end up buying two pieces, but you get so much more wear this way. Amiright?

Thanks for stopping by :)
