I am still adjusting to my new hair, (which I love!) surprisingly, most people are telling me it looks incredibly natural. If they are being honest, then that is awesome, if not, well I appreciate their kindness and white lies. As I thought, this hair color does make putting outfits together a fun challenge.

I wanted to go for a more girly look today to switch it up a bit and I knew exactly what I wanted to wear. One of my best friends surprised me with my sunflower skirt for my birthday last October and I love wearing it through the various seasons (thanks Mel!) This skirt is really fun and versatile because it has two long slits in the front, so you can either wear it with tights when it is colder, or wear it without when it is warmer because the fabric is sheer and really light. Another thing I love about this skirt (aside from the obvious floral print) is that it has a high waist.

Higher waisted pieces are great for anyone, but I think they are especially made for those with a shorter torso (finally found my silver lining to that.) Higher waisted pieces make wearing crop tops more appealing and less scandalous, which I also love. I chose to wear a longer crop top because the slits are so high I didn’t want a ton of skin showing, but I mean it’s all about how comfortable you are with this style.

This look is super simple to recreate. I would start by opting with a longer crop top paired with a higher waisted piece to ease into this trend. I think this trend will continue to be around for a while, and it’s one look that can be worn casually, or for going out with few adjustments. Being short with an even shorter torso isn’t necessarily a bad thing, give this trend a try and appreciate what you have!
