I have just falling in love with capri jeans, largely by chance since I just happened to find some maternity ones second hand and they were so comfy! I need to get some more now! I was raised in the theory of classy dressing too, but these days I think the areas I am comfortable exposing are becoming fewer and fewer! I'm not sure midriff is for me any more, but I sure loved it when I was in my university days :)Tanithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09915557658875958630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382754892322119466.post-29929064850032944492015-02-18T21:44:37.299-06:002015-02-18T21:44:37.299-06:00So cute!

But I don't like to show my stomach and don't really wear short skirts so I guess it works. :) Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02583524755306491510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382754892322119466.post-31632970002243831342015-02-17T16:27:53.386-06:002015-02-17T16:27:53.386-06:00Ooo, thank you very much, I definitely will!

The leather coat gives your outfit a lovely edge. Very cool shoes too!

It reminds me, in a 100% positive way, of something Sandy might have worn at the end of Grease. <br /><br />That's really strange about the fit of those capris. Perhaps the thighs will stretch out a tad with future wearings and washes. The tight fit looks great on you though and suits the alluring element of this outfit to a tee. <br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382754892322119466.post-42558158179299306592015-02-16T23:37:29.583-06:002015-02-16T23:37:29.583-06:00Depending on how hot it is and how I'm feeling...Depending on how hot it is and how I'm feeling sometimes I will wear something a bit shorter than usual, like a short strapless dress. Sometimes I will show a bit of leg and a bit of midriff and a bit of cleavage when I wear a vintage style two piece. It's all about personal taste and preference. I would never wear a crop top without high waisted bottoms though. I also believe that it depends on your body and there should be balance. Although on 45+ degree Celsius days rules about balance seem to be less important.<br /><br />When I was younger I would wear a dress that I thought was classy, but as I got older and my boobs got much bigger, grew taller and gained weight around the hips it made me feel so uncomfortable. If you remove heat from the equation I believe it's all about balance and confidence. I see people pull of much more revealing outfits than I would personally wear and they still look classy. :)Aleciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11766271572022772359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382754892322119466.post-68608193260815182532015-02-16T19:10:26.836-06:002015-02-16T19:10:26.836-06:00With my zaftig body, I have to be careful with wha...With my zaftig body, I have to be careful with what I wear.
