I love this look. I fell in love with this look it when I saw it on Malin Akerman in Watchmen. My husband also loves this look but I am having trouble finding comfortable shoes (as comfortable as they can be) and items to complete the ensemble. Plus, I am a little chunky in the middle. How do I pull this look off without looking like a fat shorty? I am 5'1 by the way. dark stockings/tights, cropped tights with big long sweaters, daring heals, and cute french hats… I love this look.

To answer your question, I would look for a pair of jeans that have lower pockets with flaps (button). It will add a little volume to your caboose. The lower positioning of the pockets creates and illusion of pushing up the tush. I hope that helps! Be sure to come back and see me again! :D Hi Nikki, thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment.

It is very helpful. Do you have any tips on finding jeans for a petite figure with a flatter butt? I never could find jeans that flatter me. Great Posting! It is very helpful.

True, cuffs on trousers are not the best and tailoring is a must if you dont want to look like you were playing dress-up with someone else's clothes. Looking younger than I am is a double whammy, I am baby faced as well as teeny...tee-shirts are never a good look for me, unless I want to look like I am still in High school. However, I am looking for some guidance about buying summer dresses and swimwear for someone 5'0, with a tube type shape (i.e. no waist), and something to cover up upper arms too. Hi

I bought 3 skirts recently, after a 15 year skirt drought, and they are above the knee - great with thick tights and knee high boots in the same colour. Why the 15 year no-skirt rule? I have fat legs! How about a fashion lesson on camouflaging fat legs (and the rest!) ;-) Great post!

I'm glad that you both found this information useful. :D Rebecca, you wear a size 2 kids?! :shock: I will do some looking around for you to see where you could find some ladylike shoes in your size. I wear a size 10 1/2 and that size is not carried at many stores, and certainly not for cheap. I'll see what I can find for you. Thanks again ladies! :D Hi Bunny and Rebecca, thanks so visiting and leaving me a comment. I’m glad that you both found this information useful. :D

I'm doing a lot of things WRONG. Guess it's time to go shopping. Any idea where I can get size 2 (kids) shoes that are professional looking and reasonably priced??? I usually end up at Famous Footwear. According to this…. I’m doing a lot of things WRONG. Guess it’s time to go shopping.

I didn't like wearing skirts because I felt short(5'4") but after wearing skirts above the knee It mad my leg look lot longer. I totally agree with all the advice on this page.
