* All my outfits emphasize flattering an apple shape -wider shoulders/narrow hips. In this picture I am 5’1′ and 140lbs. I am petite and also have a high waist and short torso.

My Italian friend Mariah gave me this cute boho dress! I don’t typically veer towards bohemian styles, but this outfit felt so summery, and I’m dying to wear it at an outdoor concert. Of course I did my little trick of using a crossbody bag to cinch the waist a bit, and I love that this dress has bright print straight down the torso, another cool elongating trick. It’s all one color and has a lot of vertical lines down the body. I also love a good flare long sleeve. Very flattering on wider arms, and very 70’s chic. What do you think?
