Fashion at New Heights - Tips for Short Legged Woman
It's time for shorts and for many women that means taking a quick and painful look in the mirror. The majority of us aren't completely happy with the way we look and can spend hours picking out areas that we long to improve. Unfortunately, genetics play a huge roll is body type and something you just can't argue with what nature has to say. For women with short and wide legs, buying clothing can be a real task. Don't lose you're determination. Looking great is merely a matter of knowing what works for you. Here are 5 rules you should follow to make your legs look great in everything form tights and leggings to skirts and shorts.
Rule #1 - Buy the Right Size Shirt
The goal for women with short and wide legs is to create an elongated appearance through tactful clothing choices. In this instance, the clothing item in question is your tops. Never choose shirts that extend past your hips or that end right at you're hips. Shirts that go past you're hips elongate you're torso and make your legs appear shorter. Shirts that end exactly at the hip can break up your body making it look wider.
Rule #2 - Don't be Tempted By Bagging Pants
If you're self conscious about you're legs you may be tempted to buy pants that are a little baggy. Masking size with extra clothing is the absolute worst thing you can do. Instead of drawing attention away from you're legs this will do the opposite. Choose pants that fit you're legs the way they should and you will automatically look better.
Rule #3 - Avoid Light Color Jeans
Light color jeans are hard to pull of for most and if you have shorter and wider legs it can be close to impossible. The light color material, specifically when it's faded in the center of your thigh, can add unwanted depth to your leg. Dark denim, tights, leggings, and pants are you're best choices. They also tend to look more polished than lighter washes which is generally a positive thing on all accounts.
Rule #4 - No Horizontal Stripes
Horizontal stripes are fashion disasters waiting to happen. Whether it's you're top or your bottom, these stripes or patterns will instantly make you appear larger and wider. It's true that there isn't a huge trend in horizontally striped pants, but tops can have a negative impact on you're appearance as well. If you have shorter legs you will want to do you're best to elongate them by creating an over all appearance of length. Horizontal tops do just the opposite.
Rule #5 - Avoid Full Length Skirts
It's tempting to hide you're legs behind long skirts assuming it will cover up what you don't want to be seen. Unfortunately, this works against your body type and can make you look shorter and wider. Long skirts on short legs creates a abrupt ending that does the opposite of elongating your body. Instead this tends to make you're bottom half look boxy. Look for skirts that end right below the knee. These offer the coverage you want without covering everything. If you're still uncomfortable about baring your calves, choose a dark color opaque tight. This will cover your legs and create a slimming appearance.

Australian Ugg Boots - A Fashion Craze
Australian Ugg boots have to be one of the strangest fashion trends ever, not that there is anything wrong with them, as boots they are really fantastic but they just seem a bit odd in comparison with other fashion crazes. One thing that they do have in common with other fashionable items is that if you want the real thing you have to pay seriously real money!
The boots all have the same shape but are available in a multitude of different colours. To wear they have to be amongst the most comfortable boots ever! Inside they are lined with soft fur like fabric making them extremely cosy in cold winter days. There are lots of cheap copies flooding the market but if you are keen on buying a pair of Ugg boots treat yourself to the real thing it is worth it for the quality.
Recently my daughter received a pair of pale pink coloured boots as a gift from a friend who lives in Australia. My daughter thinks they are absolutely wonderful, you see we have hard wood floors in our old cottage and it can be fairly draughty and cold in the winter so she wears them instead of slippers! They are very light to wear and very cosy and the soles have a really good grip.
If wearing boots round the house in winter is not for you can actually buy slippers made from the same type of fabric which are just as comfortable and warm. These are available across Australia and a store called Nordstrom's in the States also sell them. Prices do vary so it is worth shopping around for the best deal and selection of colours etc. One note of caution, there are lots of imitation products on the market if you want the real deal you have to ensure they are Australian.
As with any product you can also find Ugg Boots on the internet, there are many websites selling authentic boots and you will also find them on e Bay, if you are lucky you might even find a web site offering free shipping. If you order boots from an Australian source be prepared to pay a substantial amount for shipping. If you have a relative or friend living in Australia they may be able to pick them up cheaply in a sale and ship them by sea. It will take longer but it is a much cheaper method of shipping.

The Advantages of Attending a Fashion Show
For some people a great time means having a party, then for others it is just being themselves and watching the latest movie or reading a book that they like. Even so, for others, there specific idea of having fun is going to a fashion show.
It is often found to be true that you might find yourself ending up being a fashion show addict after just one show. A fashion show is not just simply numerous hours of sitting and watching attractive woman walk down the catwalk in extreme outfits. It is a great deal more fun than that. You even have the opportunity to get a lot out of the show as well.
Latest News In Fashion
Clearly, if you go to a fashion show, you will get to view the latest fashions. This can assist you, even if you're not a fashion sellout. This can help you out by giving you an idea of what particular fashion is in at the moment. Even though you may not be particularly interested in what everyone is wearing, you might be inspired to update your wardrobe just a little bit more or find some idea for a fashion that is uniquely your own.
Additionally, a fashion show can provide good entertainment when you find that the latest fashion is, well, hideous. How much fun do you think it will be to have a good laugh with your family and friends about some model who appeared wearing a lion mask and a tail when you get back home?
Goodie Bags
Even though not all fashion shows provide them, some fashion shows give out goodie bags to their attendees. Who doesn't like free stuff? Even though you may not like all the things that goodie bag has in it, you can re-gifted at some later point to someone who you know will like it. The bigger and better the name of the fashion show, the bigger and better the goodie bag they will hand out.
Meeting People
Fashion shows typically end up being excellent social gatherings. First off, you might be able to make some new friends. You might realize that your new best friend was sitting right next to you at a fashion show admiring the same male or female model (as the case may be) that you were. Even better than that, you might meet some important people.
I am not just speaking about the beautiful models, fashion designers, or guest appearances by celebrities. I am referring to important people who could quite possibly shape your career. For example, if you've been trying to break into journalism. There might just be a newspaper editor reporting at the show. Making a social connection with them could give you a jump start into a possible job.
Going to a fashion show might not be your idea of fun or your 'cup of tea' as the saying goes. Nevertheless, everyone should at least go to one. You might find a new trend you would like to try out, meet someone that is life-changing, or even realized your newfound love of fashion.
If you end up not enjoying the show, you can always head back home and vow to never go to one again. Regardless, you'll have some type of funny story to share later in life and now you will not be able to say that you have never seen one before.
