Hooray! Rules are meant to be broken. I’m 89 and love your channel.
Yes break the rules!! Life is too short! ❤️
So glad I am not the only 5ft 1 1/2 " breaking these petite rules.
I am really short. I can jump out of my skin by trying to look taller, live by these "rules" created for me by someone I never knew, and still it is very obviouse I am short. Instead, I choose to have fun with fashion, dress stylish for appropriate occasions and enjoy myself! Self confidence suits all sizes, and life is too short to box yourself into rules. Thank you, Lori, for being our rebellious inspiration!
Love this! ❤️ Life is way too short!
As a 5'0 very short woman, I endorse your message: in particular the line: Self confidence suits all sizes. That sticks.
Being height challenged can be difficult. Used to be about 5'4" have shrunk ? 2".
Looking better proportional as I used to be extremely long wasted, which made it very difficult to find any setin waist dress that would fit me properly. Learn to sew at 11 years old.Just so I could deal with clothes Fitting right. Having shorter legs complicates things too.
So true! At 4'10 I could wear 4 inch heels and still be the shortest person in the room. The only difference it makes is how and if I am able to move. I prefer being able to walk.
Bye Felicia 😂 Thank you Lori for the honesty about daily dressing. We don’t live our lives on a fashion runway.
Hahaha! No fashion runway’s in my life that’s for sure. 😂😂
I’ve always carried a big bag. Folks with small bags are always asking “ anyone have a pen, Kleenex, floss, piece of gum, kitchen sink, etc”. Why yes I do! I feel prepared for anything.
You are the best Lori! Disregard the nay sayers!❤
Hahaha right? I’ve always got the gum, Kleenex, tide pen…😂😂.
@@LoriLundquist 😂❤️
With the exception of the kitchen sink, ALL of the items you mentioned, fit perfectly in a small bag, too😉 ...just sayin
@@mikamamma Not when you carry "all of the items" with you all the time, they don't. Trust me, i know. I bring wet wipes, my Mace, scissors, a Swiss knife, a nail clipper, even a rubber gripper - these things add up. 👍😄
@@StarGazer918 your back and shoulders must hate you 🤣 haha!
Is all that stuff REALLY necessary for you to carry around ALL of the time?! It took awhile for me but I finally realized it wasn't. I Feel so much lighter and freer now carrying just the true necessities with me... 1 credit card, drivers license, some cash, my phone, tissue, some mints and a lip stick. The other stuff, if you REEEALLY feel you need it (which you don't;) can sit in the car, in case someone needs a nail trim, wood whittled or paper dolls to be cut out😜
I'm just playing😉but it's true!
I applaud you Lori! About time some youtuber fashion ladies are pushing back against the idea that we must always dress in the most flattering way. Geez! Do we only exist for other people's viewing pleasure? Why are we erecting appearance jails for ourselves? It's clothing, we put it on, we take it off.
Love this, exactly! ❤️
I dont think anyone has said that ever.
Yes! I do the same thing. I finally bought a striped top after 56 yrs because I’ve always wanted one. I get frustrated always thinking about whether something makes me look heavier or shorter. TBH most of the time I don’t care if I look shorter. I mean it’s obvious that I am short.
Your honesty and good humor are so refreshing!! Thanks!!
Thank you! ❤️❤️
I always remember a 'writing' rule: Know the rules in order to now how to break the rules. Iris Apfel just died at 102. She broke every conceivable rule of dressing and accessorizing ... and she was one of my dressing idols. No, I don't necessarily dress like her, but she is a style icon who never paid any attention to rules except to know them and know how to break them. She was fabulous.
Love this
Iris was the best! She had such a long and colorful life!
💛💚🩵💜🩷🧡
Short women need to cut their jeans, and sometimes other garments. I agree, you need to set your own rules. Thanks for your videos.
I totally agree! Wear what you love!! You look great whatever you wear!😊
True! No matter the outfit, you always look awesome.
I am petite at 5' 1" I NEVER carry a small purse! Actually, I love backpacks more then anything. They are not huge backpacks that kids use for school but are cute fashion ones that they sell where the purses are and not real small. I have several and being a backpack, it does distribute the weight over both shoulders. I can put a lot of things in them and love them.
I love your channel, Lori! You are so right, even if we are short girls we should wear what we love!❤ 😊
Absolutely Trisha!! ❤️
Completely agree with your down to earth and real life philosophy!
I wear what I love and feel good and love breaking ridiculous fashion rules.
Love from Australia 🧚♀️❤️🐝
Thank you Donna! Australia wow!! ❤️
Hi Lori. I'm a fairly new subscriber, and I just loved this video. I'm 5', 64, and starting to get a bit "fluffy." I detest high waisted jeans. Of course, I'm short waisted, a 34D, (and they're not where they used to be!), and high waisted jeans come up right under my boobs. And sitting in them, is super uncomfortable.
I like larger handbags as well. In fact, I have the same Valentino bag as you. (Poshmark!)
I'm with you on the frayed jeans. Great for cutting. Not giving them up. I loved the Karl Lagerfeld jacket on you. It looks fabulous.
Thanks for speaking out against the so called rules for us petite women. Wear whatever makes you feel good.
Have a great weekend!❤
Hi Rene! Totally agree about sitting in high waisted jeans. Not comfortable or cute lol. Thanks so much for watching and commenting! Do you love your Valentino bag??!! ❤️❤️❤️
Yes. Sitting in high waisted jeans is awful. I love my Valentino bag. I've worn it for 2 seasons, and it looks brand new! I love finding a great bargain!😊@LoriLundquist
Love this video. I probably break these rules frequently. I'm short and fluffy. Tucking my shirts feels weird. I love horizontal stripes. Shoes are definitely personal choice. Wear what makes you feel your best
I think you look great in you black dress and booties. You look stylish and confident! Just can’t always follow rules. Love your channel.
I strongly agree with you, everyone should wear what they love, you look great.❤
Hear, hear!!! Wear what you love!
❤️
I’m with you, like mid rise jeans . I prefer small bags because they are light. My point is we have different tastes and styles in fashion
Yes absolutely! ❤️
Hey Lori, you are a breath of fresh air. Kepp 'em coming for the real people not restrained by the "Felicia" Folk ~ Paula
Thank you Paula! ❤️❤️
Love this! I’m from Texas, and we wear boot cut jeans with boots all the time. It’s a classic look as far as I am concerned ❤
I totally agree!
Love this video! Bottom line is very simple, wear what you love and you will look, and feel confident!
Thank you, Lori - I appreciate your honesty and your belief in wearing what you love!
You’re so funny and spot on with real life so thank you
💕💕
You look fantastic in all of your rule breaking outfits. You go girl!
❤️❤️❤️
Great video….agreed on all points….if you love it wear it! They all look cute!
Thank you!! 😊
THANK YOU!!! It's a struggle we need to sometimes ignore. Make yourself happy.
I'm glad you did this video. I am 4' 11" and I find there are just too many rules for petites in the first place. I love my horizontal stripes and I love my larger bags, too. I find if I wear something "wrong" I just need to balance it with something else - like the larger bag with a pointy shoe. And don't get me started on high rise jeans - they do nothing for petites except make us look like we have no torso, haha. Loved this video.
Haha yes I get it!! 😂❤️
Thank you, because I feel the same way. We cannot live by fashion rules all the time. We can wear what we like if we feel confident about ourselves. Thank you ❤
Good points. Where I live it is rare to see anyone tuck in their tops. I am a size 14 apple shape 5'1". I have many tops.. even tees shortened with a slight curve up from the crotch area. It may not be the 1/3 to 2/3 ratio rule but it looks better than exposing my protruded belly. Who cares about long legs if you dont have the figure for it. I can wear high waisted pants because they squeeze my middle and the tops and blouses skim nicely over. I love what you are wearing. That charcoal sweater over the simple top and pearls. Wow! Perfection IMO. .
Thank you so much Carol! ❤️. I noticed your last name which is the same as my boyfriend and his family!
Thank you! Happily avoiding the fashion police.🎉
100% agree. Wear what you love!
Bye Felicia!
Thanks Caroline!! 💕
One Name , Carla Rockmore, she is petite always breaking the rules and always looks amazing ! Wear what you like! You do you! And have fun!
Love it!!
I still love and wear skinny jeans. I’m not getting rid of them.
I agree. I'm never giving up my skinny jeans ❤
I love being short, and never try to hide it. I am more into what makes me look slim, and turns out I break all these rules ALL THE TIME...lol...greetings from 156 cm..lol
PS Both the Queen of Norway and the Queen on Sweden are about as "tall" as I am, and both (especially Sonja of Norway) are really good with proportions. So even if I never need the sort of clothes they use, I can still watch what sort of proportions they use, and I am sure they both have professional stylists. The Grand Duchess of Luxembourg is pretty doorknobby also, although a bit chubbier and she LOVES flamboyant clothes, strong colours, things that wave in the wind etc. And she too also seems to give half banana in looking taller, but she normally looks really good.
I like big bags and I cannot lie!!!! haha I am all of 5 feet nothing and have always loved big bags. I only do small bags for weddings, where I can put it on the table. But a big bag is functional and good looking on a daily basis. Love, love, love the tweed jacket. I have had one that's black and red and white tweed.. over 20 years old.. but it's still one of my favorites! Love the half tuck look on others... but that's where I carry my weight.. so it's a no no for my body. Chunky boots and jeans.. yes, please!!!! Its a go to for this fun size gal! I am also Team Fray!!!! Sometimes the cost to get it hemmed is more than what I paid for them.
You go girl! You do you! Being comfortable for every day living trumps all these do’s and don’t’s. Life is too short to sweat the small stuff. Enjoy!
❤️❤️❤️
Yes! I definitely feel you about wider belts with jeans (my personal preference), untucked shirts with my jeans (I like the silhouette of an untucked shirt over jeans ...it just makes me feel more secure)! ❤️ I like this list too!
Hi from Canada
No idea how I ended up on watching you on challenging these stereotypical rules … totally agree! You’re like a ray of sunshine on a cold Canadian winter day😎
Aww thank you! 💕
love your attitude an WHO makes these rules??? Your 100% right, and I think all your rule breakers you showed looked great on you!!!
❤️❤️❤️
I love it and I break the rules like you all the time. I enjoy my stripes, mid rise jeans, unhemmed jeans, untucked tops & bigger bags too! You go girl!
Yay, love it! 💕
I'm only 5'1" and recently found out that I'm long waisted, so my inseam is really short. Rather than try to appear taller, I focus on looking more proportional. Vertical stripes only accent my short legs. Horizontal stripes are more flattering and I need a high waisted pant to take up some long torso (for a short person) real estate. I realized that I needed to lengthen the look of my legs, but shorten the look of my torso, which was something I'd never considered. We are all differently short and rules are made to be broken. Thanks for realistic expectations.
More manufacturers NEED to have hem length options, petite ,regular and tall options make me happy as a 5 ft tall gal! 😊 I hate hemming and the community where I live doesn’t offer many services for alterations unfortunately!
I agree!! I need to learn how to sew!
Breaking 3 rules and you look great!! 👍
Thank you Paula! ❤️
Darling, Wear whatever you want, where ever you want. Just be comfortable. Be happy and just love yourself. You don't need to even entertain the negative comments. We love you
Aww thank you!! ❤️
Hi Lori, THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR SPEAKING UP FOR WOMEN THAT ARE PETITE. I'm 5ft tall and I loved this video, I agree with you wear what feels comfortable to you.
Love my high heels boots and jeans ❤ and I don't care about the fashion rules. Wishing you and everyone a great weekend.
Thanks for watching and commenting! I love my heels and jeans too! Enjoy the rest of your weekend! ❤️❤️❤️
What a great video!! Who is this ubiquitous “they” out there that tells us every move to make in every area of our lives? Enjoyed your common sense approach to what you like to wear😉
Hello, I am new here and I just wanted to say that I think I break every single one of those rules too.😊 I have found that just being more intentional about what I'm putting on helps me look and feel my best. Thank you for helping me feel good about my choices. 🤗
Welcome! Thank you for watching! ❤️
Lori you are so refreshing. Thank you for your honesty cuz we all don't live that runway life. I am 64 and wear what I have in the closet, mostly are not good for my 4'11" frame, but your channel is helping me to pick new items for my future new look.
Thank you, you are so kind. Nope, definitely not living a runway life haha ❤️
Boots with jeans and sweater looks good, you put your hand in the pocket and looked cool, so I was think of the tuck in the front or off the side would look nice on you too!
I LOVED THIS VIDEO! Just found your channel. You are my exact body type, yeah! We also have the same personality. I wear what I want and bye bye to anyone who doesn’t like it. Im 63 and a self confessed striped shirt addict! So let’s rock ‘em! And let’s face it, if we are watching this video we are likely more fashion, style conscious than 99% of the population. So I’m betting we are all lookin better than most. Finally, a truly “ authentic” ( hate that word, btw, especially when being used by folks that obviously are not) utuber! I thought your outfits looked great and thanks for keepin it REAL! ❤
So kind, thank you so much! 😊 ❤️
You look good and you definitely should feel good in what you wear!
Your rule breaker video is the reason I subscribed. Thank you!
I was in a store trying to find a solid color top to go with some patterned pants. There was a top that I thought might look all right, but it was not exactly the same as the similar color in the print. I asked another shopper what she thought, and she said something that I have repeated to myself a number of times since then. She said, "Do you think the fashion police are going to stop you for it?"
Love this!!!!! Btw that wider belt looks fab on you!!!
Thank you so much!
I love the Karl Lagerfeld jacket on you!
Thank you!
Appreciations to you for counseling us all to love what we wear- despite 'rules' - -after all, we did get dressed!
❤️💕❤️
Agree with you on most of this (esp large bags!), but when it comes to shortening pants - we can benefit a lot from learning basic sewing skills.
Thanks for being realistic. I’m only 5 foot & I love horizontal stripes! I have tanks tshirts & sweaters all with horizontal stripes. Same with the boots, height, comfort Im wearing them
Love it, keep wearing them! 💕
I’m with you on the high rise jeans. I feel like they strangle me!
Yes!!
Lori, l 100% agree with everything you said in this video . Come on, people, it isn't rocket science. Relax and use common sense. Learn when to roll a d when to hold😅 get outside your rigid self and show some self-confidence .Thanks for another great video Lori😊
Thank you!
I wish the raw hem look was always a thing… I would have saved a lot of $$ 😊
Right?? ❤️
So glad you stay true to your style. Me 2 🎉
Thank you! We’re petite! Why do we need to try to look like something we’re not. Wear what you want and feel good about yourself.
Good morning Lori! Great video! Everything you said was so true!!!
Hi Barbara Jean! Thank you I hope you are having a wonderful weekend! ❤️❤️
I love your rule-breaking. Never heard about the thin belt thing but NOPE. All my belts are wide.
I love me a rule breaker. You go!
Hahaha me too! More fun when you break the rules! 😂❤️
Love the Karl Lagerfeld and I think it looks great. Lots of stuff doesn't hit me where it should and I do not care either. That is a gorgeous jacket. I also like that it's slightly loose-fitting. You carry it off fine!
Thank you! ❤️❤️
Best video ever! I am 5’ 0” and agree with everything you said. Love your sense of humor 😊
Glad you enjoyed!
Hi Lori, as a petite with a short torso too, a hugely important number for me is to know how many inches rise a certain pair of pants have, specially because high rise or mid rise can be so different from one brand to another. So please, please, whenever you show pants, please try to mention that “magic” number 😊. Btw I love your channel ❤
Will do Carmen! Sometimes in the middle of filming I forget but just message me and I’ll let you know ❤️
Lori you are a breathe of fresh air.
❤️
hi, i love the light blue jacket too.
Thank you ❤️
Amen about the high rise jeans. I’m 5’4 and I have literally 1 inch from my waist to last rib so high waist turns into a one piece outfit 😡
Oh my goodness that made me laugh!! 😂 A one piece! That’s hysterical but true!
Refreshing attitude! Thanks
You go girl. I love this video.
I agree 100% Lori. Wear what makes you happy. The only think I can't do is striped shirts. I think they look horrible on me but look great on so many others, yourself included.
I'm definitely in the no high rises camp. The most I can tolerate is 10" but 9" to 9.5" is perfection in a rise. I have to thank you for the Liverpool LA ponte pants you featured in one of your videos. They are absolutely perfect on me. So much so I got 3 more pairs (some on Poshmark so great prices)! The back rise is perfect too. So many times not only will the high rises look bad in front but they slip down in back (at least for me) too. I always felt like I was in a saggy diaper when that happened. The Liverpool pants are the only ones I can wear without a belt, no drooping butt, lol!
I think one of the "petite style rules" I tend to break is oversized clothing. Sometimes you just want to be comfortable. Now I don't wear something 3 sizes too big but a bit of an oversized look is not something I shy away from.
Hey Karen, yes I’m so glad the Liverpool worked for you! I recently bought a pair of relaxed jeans from Liverpool and love them! 💕
I laughed out loud at the purse segment! I'm so with you! I cart around my life in my bag. And BTW - I think your horizontal stripes and chunky boots look great - sporty and youthful - I like your ideas and attitude 🙂(I'm 64, just under 5' and shrinking :-0)
Awww thank you so much! I think I’m shrinking too, you aren’t alone lol 😆
I’m here for cutting jeans to the length that suits you!
Yes! ❤️
I agree, if you like it that is all that matters. By the way, they look good on you. Thx for this video
You go girl I do agree with you
❤️
I always try to be kind. Why say something if it is not kind. I thought the black bootie outfit looked great. I would never have tried it but it did work, what a pleasant surprise. We petite girls don’t have a lot of real estate for the high rise jeans. I can do a 10 in. Rise max. There are styles for all shapes and sizes thankfully. Right now we seem to have many “in style” jeans which is great. Not just the one “it” style.
Hi Wendy! Most people are so very kind and I welcome constructive criticism. Direct insults are another level but it comes with the territory lol. Thanks for watching and commenting! ❤️
Thank you for these videos! I love that you put together all the outfits to demonstrate your points, lots of great info! I appreciate that you put yourself out there. BTW, I love the black dress with boots.
Thank you Cathy! ❤️
Would you please consider doing content for 2024 summer wedding guest dresses. Please.
Right? Following trends all the time … I can’t afford it. I’m still trying to choose my wardrobe for winter and suddenly …it is spring already …😂 This is crazy 😜
Good morning Lori. Your videos have been popping up over the past few days... frankly, I do not have the time or patience to watch UA-cam. I have subscribed to 10 or 12 channels I watch and enjoy regularly. As previously stated, your videos have popped up over the past few days; I watched and enjoyed a few of them. I am 5'3", 62 years young and favor casual, classic styling. I want to say, you are relatable and I like your style. This particular video resonated with me! Throw the "rules" right out the window. In my opinion, they are meant to be a guide. I think most women past their 20's instinctively know what looks good on them. Again, my opinion, but if you feel good in what you are wearing, you naturally look good. By the way, you looked great in all of the outfits that broke the rules.
You have a new subscriber. Looking forward to watching more of your videos. Thank you for being "real". Take care.
Thank you so much! ❤️
I wear barrel jeans and it looks good on me . I am 5 ft and 127 lbs
So great... rules are meant to be broken and yeah lets do what makes us feel good where we can. It does not hurt anyone and girls just want to have fun!! :o) thanks Lori
Hahaha that’s right! 💕💕
One rule I break is the quiet luxury rule. I like my guccissima bags. I know we are supposed to not have logo but I like them anyhow.
Love it!!
I think that tweed jacket is adorable on you! So many of these outfits look great. Never listen to the haters. You look adorable! And what a great message. Just wear whet you love!
Thank you so much!!
Lots of food for thought Lori❤ I'll be going over your video again and thinking more about maybe some rules that I have followed, such as a smaller bag which is basically because it just suits my walking purposes. But hey I know it doesn't always have to be a smaller bag. I'm 5' 2, 115 lbs. 75 yrs. old. I don't care about looking taller👏 I tried wearing high rise jeans and I don't like them👎I live in jeans that come to my belly button and I like a raw or finished hem. I don't like jean shorts. I find they feel restrictive and prefer a light cotton blend (mostly in white lol😮!). I don't like vertical stripes I wear horizontal stripes. ❤ your Karl Lagerfeld jacket! Rosie 👩🦳 75 Toronto 🇨🇦
Hi Rosie! Keep doing and wearing what you love! Thanks for sharing! 💕❤️💕
61 yr old and 4'11". I think knowing and understanding the "rules" can be very helpful. If you look in the mirror and like what you see then who cares what rules you might be breaking. If you put on an outfit and it just doesn't look right, knowing some basic rules can frequently help to make some minor tweaks to make the outfit work, like tucking in a shirt or changing shoes. Scrapping the whole thing and starting over is time consuming and frustrating.
They are "tools" not "rules".
Excellent video. For me, practicality and enjoyment are far more important than arbitrary rules. I’m short because God made me that way, so it’s a bit pathetic if someone else finds it offensive when I look my true size.
Thank you Alex! ❤️
Break the rules! You look great and happy in your clothes! Just subscribed. I'm petite too.
Thank you! 😊. Welcome!! 💕
I love your attitude Lori❤
l love your channel ❤ I think you are amazing ❤
So sweet, thank you! ☺️ ❤️
I totally agree with you on all these points, such a great video.
❤️
I was at a up scale mall. I went in every store found nothing. I was just completely exhausted. I stopped at the food court to get a drink. I sat there watching all the people go by. Out of two hundred people that went by only one was following the rules. I got up went back to some of the stores and bought things I liked not going by the rules.I came home happy.
That’s awesome, I love that! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you 💐👍🏻 I enjoy your videos a lot! I is really refreshing to see you looking so pretty in your favourite clothes while telling us how unimportant styling rules in fact are. Not many people do! I think clothes look different on different people, petite or not. No guarantee to be pretty wearing high rise jeans only or vertical stripes 😄.
So true! Thank you for sharing!
Totally agree!
The shirt with horizontal lines you were wearing is ok because the lines are thinner. The bigger horizontal lines are the ones that pull you down and makes you look smaller, plus those big horizontal lines makes me feel like I’m walking on a pedestrian crosswalk. 😅
😁❤️
