Funny, I used to have a snazzy white Vespa with a wind shield!<br /><br />So, I got a dress Moi. Believe it or not, TWO! I tried on at least 20 of them in Macy's and ended up with two Ralph Lauren dresses. One is a beautiful print with purples, blues, lilac, like a floral (smallish) watercolor. Wrap waist, cap sleeves and side rouche, perfect! I had them order the other dress in a larger size, it is a very elegant wine purple, sleeveless with wrap top, cummerbund rouche waist and sash and full skirt, a la Marilyn Monroe! I can wear that dress with everything, so I had to get it too. Who would have thunk that Ralph Lauren would have designed a dress for me? Glad they got smart and put all the dresses together again instead of department by department, I'd have never tried on a RL!LaDivaCucinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06000430029590301972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4410706398872836052.post-73135069226812299142010-01-24T07:10:20.527-07:002010-01-24T07:10:20.527-07:00Wel' Sweet Pea...not so much the famo wedges. ...Wel' Sweet Pea...not so much the famo wedges. Seems ter ole Aunty them thangs makes a girl tilt forward an' walk a wee bit weirdly. I likes a low wedge espadrille in summer, though.<br /><br />But pass me the Pashmina! Love 'em. I ain't got but three ( it IS Florida down heah) but they gits out of the closet a fair amount.<br /><br />Moi, I reckon youse about 5'10"? (some girls have all the breaks!) White jeans on ya' would be fab wif that LLB boater, but us shortcakes in a horizontal stripes? or tucked blouse wif' a wide belt (see photo)? Uh, negative. Neg.A.Tive. <br /><br />I is amused to think of ya' wif' LaDivaC whippin' around in SouthBeach--on a pink vespa. HA! Shoppin bags blowin' out behind ya.

Instead, I'm headed up north for work this weekend. Flying into Chicago followed by a three-hour drive to Grand Rapids, MI. Hmmmm . . . perhaps a change of career is in order.

But a while back I was out shopping with her and convinced her to try a longer, fitted white blouse that she left untucked and wore with a loose cardigan over. It shouldn't have worked, but it did. So the key is, try on try on try on. You never know what will – and won't – work until you get it off the hanger and onto your body. But I agree about the white jean in your case, not so much because of the shape, but because on petite women, it's usually best to keep darker colors on the bottom. So my option for you would be a white dress in one of those floaty Rachel Pally styles.moihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07824043795171732429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4410706398872836052.post-41609664496500555632010-01-19T19:25:59.151-07:002010-01-19T19:25:59.151-07:00Oh dear, Moi, this is where having the completely ...Oh dear, Moi, this is where having the completely opposite body type from yours comes to play! I can just see me in that striped boatneck....ah no! haha! And Diva don't (um, CAN'T!) tuck in a blouse evah as my ta-tas are too close to the waist!<br /><br />And white jeans? I wish. <br /><br />However, I do believe in the pashies, have them in all colours, also jackets, purses, hats and if I get the chance, gloves, all figure into my dress style. But since moving to Miami, I don't get the chance to accessorise with those as much.<br /><br />And do wedgies EVER really go out of style? Seems I always have some in my closet!LaDivaCucinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06000430029590301972noreply@blogger.com
