Shoes For a Winter White Skirt
Short Waisted Style Tips
Q. I am a 22 year old student working at a bookstore. Some days I work in the cafe where our uniform is all black, and others I work on the book floor where the uniform is dress/business casual, basically just no jeans. I am 5'1" and a size 16. I want to look unique but professional on the book floor, and also need some color! I am having trouble because I love the girly bows and knits and vintage looks out right now, but don't want to look too young because of my stature. One other concern I have is that I have a large chest, and don't want to have a lot of cleavage showing, but don't want to be completely covered up in a turtleneck.
-Black & Color
A. You have to be careful if you're petite and busty with bows and ruffles that can add extra bulk and attention. I adore that you want color since one job requires an all black wardrobe. I stuck with top choices in a variety of styles, all bright colors and no turtlenecks. And always wear a good supportive bra that is smooth under your clothes - it can make a big difference in how your clothes fit.
