Like Kim, I’m a little bit obsessed with American Apparel. I’m also obsessed with buying multiple versions of my favorite items; for example, I own the same cable knit cashmere turtleneck in four colors, and the same pair of patent pumps in three (hey, they were cute, comfortable, and on sale). And don’t even get me started on t-shirts.

American Apparel seems to have been created specifically for people like me, because when you find the perfect dress, top, or skirt, you can find duplicates in every color of the rainbow. This has led to me purchasing the jersey bandeau dress in three colors (at least at the moment, I’m sure I’ll pick up another soon). What is interesting about this dress is that you can wear it fifteen different ways – check out the video. Yes, some of them are kind of a stretch, but there are still a dizzying number of potential options in my closet thanks to those dresses. Definitely great for travel!

And if it is just too cold where you live to even think about buying a sleeveless dress, don’t count this one out – it is adorable as a skirt as well.

guest post: top 5 tips for petite fashionistas
31. January 2008

1. Add a little volume to your hair (at the crown) it will add one to two inches to your look.

2. Add accessories near your face, such as necklaces or earrings to attract attentions upwards to your face and to make you appear taller.

3. A gold or nude shoe/sandal is close to your natural skin color, so it will make your legs appear longer.

4. When selecting a larger print use your fist as a reference to how big the print should be. Look for 60’s inspired flowers this season.

5. If you don’t own a wrap dress, go buy one! The wrap dress is a petites best friend, it doesn’t matter if you’re full figured, busty or flat chested - it will accentuate the nest parts of you!
