| ANIMAL PRINT "DRESS" - Rogan for Target SNAKESKIN BELT - Thrifted EARRINGS - Heavenly Treasures TURQUOISE WEDGES - Lela Rose for Payless |
The thing about being on the petite side is people love to compare their kids' height to you and often make you stand next to them so they can show you how much taller their kids are than you. I've never appreciated this whatsoever, and often found it kinda humiliating.
I'm not sure whether I'm wearing a tunic or a dress, but whatever it is, I love it and I got it for $10 from Target. I decided to pair it with a thrifted snakeskin printed belt. I'm not sure if it's against fashion rules to mix animal prints, but I did it anyway and liked it. I wanted to add some color so I wore my payless wedges.
Anyway, I truly think Polka Dots grew taller than I did because she slept more (I always liked to get up really early in the morning and she slept in). But no one ever believes me. I have always envied my sister's height, though I will say there are some nice things about being petite, like you can wear a tunic as a tunic or you can even wear it as a dress!

Tunic, smunic.........who cares. I think it looks great and I love the shoes.
When I was younger I hated being tall.
I guess you just can't make us happy!
You should have a roster on your side bar so I can keep track of all of these clever names you speak of.
You look great in that leopard dress, and you know how I swoon over turquoise!

I love mixing prints so I say Hooray for two different animal prints coming together. Very cute shoes!
ps. I'm the little one in my nuclear family. My parents and older brother tower over me. lol
I love the mix of animal print and turquoise- such a great outfit idea! =)

Claire, You really scored when you lucked up on all those designer dresses at Target! I really like this one, too! If your theory is true...don't worry about it. Nothing is worth getting up early in the morning for!!! Debbie http://thriftygirlvintage.com
Claire, I just realized I had it backwards...leave it to me! Debbie
I love those tourquoise shoes! And I feel ya on the height issue! Im so used to everyone being taller than me, I find it rare when I actually find people (as in grown-ups) who are shorter!
Hahaha Claire!!! I envy petite people because they can wear almost everything without looking like a goofy gyraffe!!!
I had a lot of problems when I was a kid since I was taller than average, my friend where always making fun of me!!!!
I like this outfit a lot especially your wedges!!!

im petite, but u look taller than me=)u know, as a mom, I felt the same way like u do when it comes to comparing kids, I just talked with a friend today and I told her how this "other" friend would just call me and compare babies, her baby, including mine, from weight, percentile,looks, etc...i just wish she would stop and my life would be peaceful. That is not appreciative indeed! I love your dress-animal prints is always one of my picks!
Very sexy dress and it fits you well.

Your dress is fabulous! I like how you mixed the two prints. It works and is very unexpected. The pop of color is pretty great too!
I love the shoes beyond belief... so cute!!

i'm in love with those wedges!!! have you seen inspiration monday's outfit? looking forward to what you'll do, i have no idea about my own outfit
I am so in love with teal lately and those shoes are GREAT! I can't believe someone would compare their children's heights to you--you must say {in a joking manner} don't humiliate me! next time, seriously!

It looks fabulous on you as a dress!! You are gorgeous, m' dear!
Perhaps I'm in the minority here, but I honestly really like being short! I don't know why. I just wouldn't want to be taller. I think tall people are beautiful, but so are the short ones. I'm okay with it. :)
As for fashion rules, forget 'em. Mix your animal prints if it makes you happy! That dress does look fabulous on you!

My Mum's not very tall so I assumed my sister and I would catch up to her- but alas we never did (I blame it on the lack of milk drinking!) Great outfit- I LOVE those wedges (I need to visit my local Payless asap!)
I love this photos! You are so cool :)

Argh... I so know the feeling bout people comparing their heights to oneself.
I just console myself by saying that petite girls look cuter haha. I have been wishing for my short stumpy legs to magically elongate everyday!
Love this dress, you are such a hot mother!!! ;)

Those shoes are from Payless?? They are amazing!
Girl, this look is HOT! I love the mixed animal prints, and how the (amazing!) turquoise wedges really pop against the black and white.
I kind of hate the phrase "neutrals with a pop of color" but that's exactly what you're doing here and I love it! You look fresh and classic at the same time.
Hey,animal prints are forever. Your dress is a classic and you could probably wear it till it falls apart. Love the pop of teal. As Pigtails would say wow,wow,wow. Visited your giveaway site and saw a lot of nice pieces--a cameo & turquoise bead pendant in the shape of coral were my favs.
Lovely dress! xx
If you aren't familiar with oomph, she boldly mixes animal prints.
Those shoes are so unique and fun! I love them!

RAWR.
I love some animal print. It owns my life.
My first pair of high heels was as pair of turquoise 5-inchers that I bought in the 7th grade.
I'm not kidding.

Love this outfit!! So cute!!! I added you to my favs!! Please add me if you like!! Thank you!!
oh my gosh, I want those shoes!
huh, i didn't know people's kids stand beside you and compare how tall they are to you, that is kind of rude I agree. I'd be pissed haha. heck my grandma gets mad and hits me when I purposely tower over her!
just awesome, i had a new post, do you want to see it ?

You look adorable and I love the pop of color in the heels!
I don't own anything with animal print. Can you believe it? I keep thinking I ought to branch out and at least buy something.
Oh, I just realized I have a painted on print in my flip flops but that doesn't really count.
Nice post. I learn something more challenging on different blogs every day. It isalways stimulating to read content from other writers' creation and practice a littlesomething from Their ideas. Thanks for sharing.………♥
