The Tall Illusion

The colder weather that the majority of the country has been experiencing as of late has finally crawled its way down to North Carolina. However, it's still not consistent, and this weekend we were fortunate enough to get sunny skies accompanied with temperatures of over 70 degrees! It was refreshing to run around again in summertime clothing, but although today is another beautiful 72 degree day, I have a feeling that this warmth won't last for very long. 

What I love most about this particular outfit is the way it makes my legs look. This flowey skirt paired with these gorgeous nude wedges create the illusion that my legs extend for miles - when in reality I'm only a mere 5'2! I'm tellin ya, nude shoes are the key to appearing tall! If you're petite like me, you don't want anything to cut you off at the wrong place (like ankle straps on certain shoes or even capris can sometimes do). You want a long, lean solid line from hip to toe!
