Nude & Neon.

I'm a hippy girl, so to find clothes that wear well on my frame becomes a bit challenging. 

Being the avid Pinterest-er and magazine subscriber (via e-mail updates,) however, I took some of their tips to the test. 

I tend to stay away from skirts, especially ones with pleats because they tend to make me look bigger in areas that I'd like to streamline more, although I've read that pleats are supposed to help us hippy girls. 

In finding what works for me I've found that it's all about knowing your body, trying the blogger/magazine tips, and ultimately concluding what works best for what look you want to accomplish. 

Stuff I've discovered (mostly) on my own:

• I wanted to highlight the highlights--neon yellow (I love it!)--so I kept the top simple and dark to contrast with the neon and neutral skirt.

• High-waisted pleated skirt. Being hippy, I love higher-waisted bottoms!! Plus such bottoms subtly hide the lurrve handles!! 

• Nude heels. (Okay, I'll admit I read this somewhere) Having short legs and big calves, I tried the nude heels to see if they'd lengthen my legs and they DID, which is always a halleluyerr!
