'Shorts' story...

Summer's been really hot this year and 'shorts' is the only thing i can bear wearing.  

And how cute is this white shorts *dunno her name, but she's the wife of basketball star Bosh* is wearing?


I had this similar white shorts but I can't seem to wear it out coz it looked like I'm wearing just an 'undie' or 'bloomer' (is that what it's called?), haha! I can see hubs' looking weird at me like I'm crazy or something, saying -- "are you really gonna wear that out?" Hahaha!

Here are some of the other cute 'shorts outfits' that I dig!

Georgina Wilson

Rachel Bilson

Ashley Greene

 Selena Gomez

*I like her shoes!*

Jennifer Aniston - her legs are so toned!

Finding a Stuart Weitzman Alex Espadrille look-alike!

I get monthly shopping allowance [it's not much but, i'm spoiled, i know!] from the hubs which I don't normally spend in just one shopping trip... I usually divide or extend my budget to 2-3 trips to the stores in a month...

But not this one time where i spent it all in just one swoop!
[Story behind it deserves a separate post!;-)]

This wedge certainly swept me off my feet, literally! I don't have any regrets though, it looks soo nice on my feet, it makes my gams look looong i love it! It's from Bershka. They've got some really nice collection of shoes, I actually had a hard time choosing between these two

And the first one won being a look-alike of Stuart Weitzman Alex Espadrille wedge that

Jen Aniston was seen wearing all-summer long last year, with a steep price tag of US$365! 

...and you know how I'm a big fan of Jen's fashion style I need to have at least a knock-off of it! And speaking of knock-offs, a ton came out with affordable price tags!

I also previously purchased a black version which is a lot cheaper, a little less than US$5 (also deserves a separate post!)

Summer whites!

Nothing says 'hello' to summer fashion like white!

It's so refreshing!

What I Wore - Floral Jumpsuit

Occasion - Indoor photoshoot

What I wore:

Floral jumpsuit [from last summer] 

Hot pink slim belt, to highlight/define my waist

Tan wedge, see here

I accessorized with gold -- filigree earrings, stacked bangles and black cocktail ring

After looking at the photo, i realized that the shoes i was wearing doesn't go well with the whole outfit... I was thinking my new black wedge would have looked better! Oh well, one of those fashion faux pas we sometimes commit, lol!

See, i'm also not perfect ;-)

And how would you feel when you see a local celebrity wearing the

exact same outfit you're wearing?

To the MAX[i] - Celebrity Edition

Some people say maxi dresses or skirts is not for everyone, it isn't especially for short women... Very well, just take a look at how these stylish [short] women of Hollywood are rocking some MAXI-mum style and you be the judge.

Rachel Bilson -- she could be 5'1



Nicole Richie -- she could be 5'0 or 5'1



 So, what do you ladies think?

Bottomline, it can be worn! Those people who say otherwise are dumb!
Just take a look at these fashionably petite celebs! It  does not look bad on them and by carefully following some tips below, we, non-celebs  can rock it too!  

* Maxis are best worn with flats (flipflops, ballet flats or sandals).
* Only wear heeled shoes or wedges if your maxi is overly long.
* Choose thin, light, flowy fabrics and avoid heavier ones, it would just drag you down.
* Go for slim A-line cut or prefer a straight one. Big full skirts can be overwhelming for a petite frame.

I also recommend wearing your hair up in a bun for a sleeker and slender look. It also adds a teeny tiny extra to your height which is what we're really after! 

Scarf season!
