What Was She Thinking?

A celebrity with truly great legs
We all have things about our Body that we really love, as well as parts that we find fault with. Over dressing the good parts badly can be look just as bad as under dressing the parts that we would like to ignore.

I saw this girl, she couldn’t have been more then 15, who had quite the look going on today. While from the look of her worked over outfit, she is definitely a future fashionista, she hasn’t quite figured it all out yet.
She had legs that were about five miles long: she reminded me of a young foal or Great Dane puppy, because all that leg seemed to still have a mind of its own!
She was wearing a cute blue short Jumper with a white blouse over it, high heeled slouchy cowboy boots, (which on her, barely went past her ankles), and RED Fishnet Stockings!
When I first saw this girl from down the block, all I saw were red legs with a bit of blue on top and brown on the bottom. It really wasn’t a flattering outfit for this girl, who probably could be a super model tomorrow!

What was she thinking? Where did she go wrong?

Her entire outfit was about those legs. Yes, she is lucky she has those long legs, but everything she wore called attention to them, and everything else got lost. Her legs call attention to themselves, they needed no help.

How could she have done this outfit better?
Here are some ideas for those "poor souls" with such long legs they don’t know what to do!
First of all, stay away from a short short mini hem length. Take up some of that leg length by choosing hems that come to the mid thigh or lower.
The high heeled ankle bootie things didn’t help either…a ballet flat is always nice with long legs but try a taller boot with a kitten heel, or a gladiator flat sandal if you want some edge. If you must do a high heel, go with a classic pump style.
Finally the fishnets: while a nude or a neutral would have not looked like a blinking neon sign, if colored tights is what the look called for, then make sure the color is dominant in other parts of the outfit, so just the legs don’t pop out.
