Up Here: Can't go wrong with White x Jeans






Recently, I've been obsessed with shopping at the men's department. I think, well.. I could be completely wrong and delusional, that men's clothes tend to be cheaper for the same style. hahaha I could be trying to convince myself that it is... Anyways, everyone needs a solid white shirt that will go with pretty much anything you throw on top of it. I found mine at the men's! 

I love pairing simple tshirts with bright lips and accessories since white tshirts can work like a blank canvas. 

As for the jeans, I am wearing crop jeans. Crop jeans tend to shorten your legs, so I paired the jeans with heeled boots to elongate my legs a bit more. However, I know that tall girls have no problem with a bit of shortened leg length.

Down Here: Flirty Floral Look for a Day at the Beach



Hello everyone! I am Monica Nguyen and I’m the petite girl of this blog. Do not be fooled by the first picture shown above that makes me look taller than I actually am. :D If you have ever shopped in the kids section because it’s hard to find clothes that fit you properly and as a result you may or may not have been carded for an R-rated movie (no shame)...then you’ve come to the right place. My goal here is to share with you some of my favorite outfits, my tips and tricks for flattering a small frame, and to form a community where we can share suggestions and solutions for those who may be shorter than the average woman. Like my co-blogger Hayon so eloquently put, “it doesn’t matter what size you are. As long as you stand tall and proud, exuding confidence, you’ll look beautiful and powerful.” Amen sister!

This look is perfect for a day at the beach. It’s very easy to put together and is flattering for petite ladies because it accentuates the waist and elongates the legs. It is definitely one of my favorite go-to looks! 


These photos were taken by my buddy Jordan with a Canon EOS 5D Mark III and a Canon EF 50mm lens.

Hello there! My name is Hayon, and I am the TALL girl of this blog. I tower over most girls with my 5’9’’ height. My height used to be the source of my self-consciousness when I was younger. However, more and more, I became comfortable with my body size as I found what looks good on me and gained confidence. It doesn’t matter what size you are. As long as you stand tall and proud, exuding confidence, you’ll look beautiful and powerful.

Today's outfit's focus is the pants! I love wearing one piece that POPs with other pieces that are toned down. These burgundy red pants from Joe's Jeans are perfect, thanks to the comfortable fit and the dark red color that almost works as a neutral color.

I tend to tuck my shirt in to look slimmer! hehe

I rolled up the pants a bit to show a bit of my ankles to elongate my legs even when i'm not wearing heels. I love that ballet flats go with pretty much anything and everything! It doesn't hurt that these particular pair has a bit of leopard.

I usually keep my accessories pretty simple! I am still getting used to the feeling of metal on my skin.
