See, there was no long and short about it, the ankle grazing dress or skirt is here for to stay for the coming season. It's an elaboration on the maxi dress trend that swept through Sydney last summer, and it couldn't be more stylish if it tried. Nautical or nice, these are going to spice up your wardrobe because you can still afford to show a little skin around your shoulders if you so desire. I adore the combination with a tailored jacket though, nothing beats the juxtaposition and it's a silhouette that only gives more length (if you're tall to begin with), be careful of appearing swamped and weighed down if you're petit. In that case, make sure you scrunch the sleeves up, or layer they look with a white t-shirt and a belt slung low to give the whole ensemble the lift it needs to stand tall.
And stay tuned, I've taken a leaf out of Elle Nippon's book and will start to document the garments we wear in order to re-educate and have a little fun. If people keep a food diary, why can't we keep a diary of our daily looks. A little reflection will only help us build our own p r o f i l e just like the title suggests. Watch this space.
