Ready Made Outfit: Dinner and a Movie: Flirty and Feminine
For a flirty, feminine look:
Fashion Formula = Cropped Sweater + Dress + Heels.
Savannah Cropped Cardigan | $58 at Anthropologie
Isca Organdy Dress | $168 at Anthropologie
“Round One†Leather Slingback | $99.98 at Kenneth Cole
The outfit pictured above is especially friendly to women who could use some added visual leg length: the empire-waist silhouette combined with the cropped sweater makes the torso appear shorter and the legs longer. The end result? You appear to be taller!
How does this work? How tall you look is determined by how long your legs appear to be. When you visually lengthen your legs, you automatically look like you grew a few inches. A bit of fashion magic, from me to you.
For those tall women out there looking to minimize their height, switch out the heels for flats, and try a dropped waist dress that will make your torso appear longer and your legs shorter.

Ready Made Outfit: Dinner and a Movie: Casually Gorgeous
For a casually gorgeous look:
Fashion Formula = Cropped Jean Jacket + Camisole + Jean Skirt + Sandals.
Marie Denim Jacket | $79.50 at Abercrombie and Fitch
Tatum Camisole | $39.50 at Abercrombie and Fitch
Pleatback Pencil Skirt | $44.99 at Guess
Midas thong | $38 at Anthropologie
Caution: Wearing two denim pieces can be dangerous–after all, you don’t want to look like you’re wearing a denim suit! Try picking two pieces with different washes, and to heighten the contrast between the two, keep them visually separated. Here, we’re achieving that separation via the long camisole, which will be visible between the cropped jacket and the skirt.
