That citron “fins” skirt makes an appearance again. Chambray shoulder cut-outs. Sexy leopard wedge heels.

{ Architecture of an Outfit } Fake Curves With a Citron Gills Tulip Skirt, Shoulder Cut Outs Sweater, and Cheeky, Seductive Leopard Heels

Aloha kakahakiaha kakou! ~ Morning, you guys!

It sounds totally cliché just saying this, but I truly just did grab this out of my closet and threw it on before running into Kailua town to run errands. I knew the skirt looks amazing on me and provided a nice pop of of a brilliant hue to wake up my senses. The cut out sweater is really unique, comfortable, breathable and really, really sexy. Throw on some leopard wedges, and you have one really alluring outfit without revealing much at all. Allurement without provocativeness. It’s tantalization without selling modesty short.

Petite Style Notes:
The slight tulip cut of the skirt enhances and even fakes curves. Also, the high waist gives the appearance of longer legs. Tucking the sweater in partially continues the leg line. The wedges also give comfortable lift and height without too much possibility of stumbling, and the cheeky animal print gives more attitude (note: CHEEKY). See how tall and spunky I look? I’m only 5’2″ and I was major tired that day.
