If the top was an inch shorter...I think the unbelted look would be absolutely perfect! =)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7626256958127756377.post-53887148198387420522010-08-29T00:08:18.786-07:002010-08-29T00:08:18.786-07:00SewPetiteGal & PAG - You guys make me feel so ...SewPetiteGal & PAG - You guys make me feel so special!

I woud've never bought those capris because they are a double offense...but who knew they would look this good with your new Ann Taylor porcini accessories set? Lol. The addition of color and print with the top is lovely as well. I think 2 is my fave, but I'd also be curious to see # 3 with a belt!Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12216324874406973211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7626256958127756377.post-65134920342493695822010-08-27T20:49:31.009-07:002010-08-27T20:49:31.009-07:00I have some capri's like these in black and th...I have some capri's like these in black and they make my legs look stumpy...i'm wondering if lighter colored capri's are more flattering on petites...cause the outfit works on you!

Now my lil' sister inherits them :P<br /><br />Vicky - Thanks! You're so sweet :)<br /><br />AubreyOhDang! - I still smile every time I see your name lol... and I definitely agree with you that the shirt would be better if it were shorter. I hadn't thought about the white pockets showing but now that's all I can't stop looking at it!<br /><br />Abhitoabby - The capris do have belt loops... and I actually did try that! But because they're low-rise and sit on my hip, when I belted the tucked outfit, it just seemed to emphasize my long torso and shorten the leg line. Thanks for the suggestion though! :)PetiteXXShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04452994753872183538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7626256958127756377.post-55947148795342372172010-08-27T10:56:50.957-07:002010-08-27T10:56:50.957-07:00I think the belt has some appeal in the second pic...I think the belt has some appeal in the second pic and the tuck-in has some DEFINITE appeal in the third pic, so if you could perhaps combine the two. I feel in the third pic if you could put a belt on the capri it would emphasize your waist even more- but its hard to tell if there are built-in belt loops in the capri?<br />Great job overall!

Showing all of the pants in this look does gives you a shorter torso, BUT it allows the extension of the bottom 1/2 of your body.<br /><br />Shoes definitely helped w/this challenge! =DAubreyOhDang!https://www.blogger.com/profile/14376314594766169583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7626256958127756377.post-84610803295527079172010-08-27T09:53:45.512-07:002010-08-27T09:53:45.512-07:00I agree with some of the others ~ the 2nd looks th...I agree with some of the others ~ the 2nd looks the best.
