I rarely get a chance to wear this little number despite my love for it. It's breezy, it's got a feminine (if not slightly unusual) pattern, and somehow, it doesn't wash out the pale complexion that has been handed down the Stevens line for probably thousands of years.
The necklace comes from my first Stitch Fix, and those coral heels are my new pride and joy (that is, until I take home Macchiato!). Seychelles, in my book, can do no wrong. That pair is comfortable enough to walk in for a loooong time, and they have rubber soles so you can't slip!
Why it works for Breves:
A plunging neckline does wonders for one's abbreviated height. It makes your neck look longer and more elegant, especially when it's accentuated by a simple necklace--this one is great, in particular, because it repeats that "pointing downward" motif. Plus, having practically no bust means you can wear a neckline like this and not look too...in-your-face.
The waistline is a little higher than the natural waist, and combined with the length (slightly above the knee), it makes your legs look longer. And I'm all for that. Showing off your legs as much as possible is a great way to a) look sexy (which can be somewhat hard for a shorter, young-looking woman) and b) not look stumpy. If you want to be really hot, go dig out a nice pair of heels. I tend to stay away from ankle straps in many cases--it can cut off the line of the leg--but with higher hemline, this pair has a cute, retro touch.
