STYLE JOURNEY: THE HI-LOW TREND



Hey curvy girls all over the world,
Next to peplum and colorblocking the hi-low trend is also one of my favorites for 2012.

 It's a combination of sexiness and sophistication. Modest in the back and sultry in the front. I chose to rock the trend in a classic color combo by teaming up a black hi-low skirt with a silk white and black polka dot shell from Loft.


This skirt is one of those pieces that you can dress up or down. I always choose to dress things up but on the weekends an off the shoulder tee or cropped top and flat or wedge sandals would look just as good.


When I get dressed I always think about how I want to feel in my clothes. Since yesterday was Mother's day, I wanted to project that I'm a young, vibrant, chic mommy. And that's exactly how I felt in this outfit.

What I am digging about the hi-low trend is that it will work well for even the most modest plus size woman. The length on this particular skirt shows just enough leg. My yellow heels will be a staple for spring and summer. I like for my shoes to be playful and fun no matter what I wear.


Are you guys into the hi-low trend?




What I'm wearing
Top: Loft
Skirt: Faith21 Plus (similar Here)
Shoes: Aldo's (similar here)
Clutch-Gifted from Fatshion Insider
Bracelet: Loft
Silver Hoop Earrings: Forever21

I must say this is one of the few trends I'm not in love with this season.

However, this look might make me reconsider. You pulled it off flawlessly.

You have great style but I do not like the high-low skirt on anyone. At all. Ever.

Love everything else though.
