Wow! This is a Masterclass in dressing to look taller. At 5'1" in my 70s, while I've discovered many of these tips over the years, this refresher has highlighted a few bad habits developed, especially in retirement as my style morphed from Classic with a Twist to Sporty Chic. It has been sooooo easy to be hijacked by contrasting footwear, oversized anything, when a cropped jacket and accessories to scale work so much better. Thank you, thank you, thank you. This video is one to Save, Repeat, Repeat. You're amazing!
Please do a video on best spring jackets to wear over puffy sleeved tops without ruining your top or outfit. Always need that extra layer for air conditioning in the restaurant, etc. Thanks for your help!
That was such a comprehensive video so full of amazing tips. I am going to share it with my 19 year old daughter who just asked me - her 55 year mother - for style advice. Your videos are so full of kindness and grace and I just love them. Thank you so much for how you show up for all of us women who are working on our style. Your choice of words and phrasing is also so body and age positive. Thank you. ❤
Finally found someone who understands the challenges we petites face on a daily basis. So glad this popped up in my feed. I'm 5ft and have adapted many clothes but this has given me a fresh perspective. I've always avoided high-rise jeans as I thought they would restrict my movement and be uncomfortable but will now try a pair. Also I don't feel safe in high heels so have always worn flats, definitely motivated to try some espadrilles and short block heels. Thank you for a great video ❤
Wearing very high shoes with a high platform will always be the best, and much more if you combine the tips that appear in the video. There are several very tall shoes that are very comfortable and easy to walk in, you just have to find the right ones. You could easily be almost 5'7" tall and with the right clothing you can appear taller visually.
I am going to make one more comment here. Dressing can change your life. I had a really bad pregnancy with child in NICU for 63 days. he was then a projectile vomiter for about 4 months. I wore the same two sweat suits the whole time (emergency C-section, followed by ICU for me for 3 days). I had to throw those sweats out and we had to throw the couch out. The carpet cleaners were called in often, and finally they said they couldn't save it, they couldn't get the smell out. But I had to do what I had to do. Once I put on some decent clothes, everything changed for me. I felt better, I starting paying attention to hair and makeup again. Fast forward to when the child is 11. I had 1/3 of my colon removed, with a 6 month recovery. The first appointment back to the doctor, he said, what are you wearing? Most people are in the sweet pants phase. I had on a loose T-shirt dress and flats. The dress was great, it didn't bind me anywhere that hurt. It wasn't fancy, but put together. So I told him my theory about getting up and getting dressed! it really improves your outlook to look nice.
Petite girl here 🙋🏻♀️I always love wearing my wedges and flare or bootcut high rise jeans. Makes me feel so much taller and more confident. Erin, your makeup today is stunning. Please consider a tutorial on it. You look beautiful ❤
This video is extremely valueable i just turned 40 and im 5’4 160 lbs so i feel honestly feel better when i look taller and confident. For Last 3 yrs im usually wearing skinny jeans but it is absolutely counterintuitive to looking taller instead makes me look shorter and chubbier🤦♀️ I never had owned a high rise or a jump suit; after watching this video I was so inspired I got pointed pumps now I’m going to get jump suit and high rise jeans as well as trying to dress in monoclomatic color. Lord have mercy I was doing it all wrong trying to color contrast Thanks so much I’m taking notes and what to buy to improve my wardrobe
Hi Erin, I’m 5”3 and these are some great suggestions. I always feel really short when I don’t have heels on but I don’t always want to wear heels. I love all the options in looking and feeling taller. 🌷🌷
The tip about taking a pic of yourself is so true! I started doing that a few years ago after I saw a pic of myself in an outfit that wasn't the most flattering. When I originally saw it in the mirror, it looked good, but the pic showed a different perspective!
It really does help us to know for sure! It's like another set of eyes on the outfit. Plus helpful in organizing outfits to plan out for down the road! xo
I have finally started buying pants in petite length, and got on board with high waisted. I don't wear elevated shoes often, mostly flats, so these tips help. I am hourglass shaped, shorter torso with longer legs, and I want to look taller because I want to look leaner, I'm a little thicker than I ought to be, but that's okay. These tips really help, thank you!!
Thank you Erin for this video. I wanted to take this time to say I appreciate you and all that you do on your channel. You make me smile and feel good when I watch you. I've learned so much how to dress my 5 foot frame while going through "the change of life". I feel more confident and special thanks to you!!!! ❤🧡💛💜🤍💖
Hi Erin, as a petite women I really appreciate your tips. You have a lovely style. Happy early mother's day to you & all mothers watching. ❤ take care. Thank you for all your recommendations.
I'm 5'7 and have a tough time with jumpsuits and many pants, my torso is long. Most high rise hit below my belly button or more like a mid rise. I want to wear a peplum top, cant find a good fit there either. And i struggle to tuck bc i am a rectangle shape with a bit of a wider saddlebag when my weight is up. My bust is small so it isnt a good look, on me, imo. No belly here. I would love for you to feature some other body types. I saw this in your older content, but not recently. Video is great Erin, and you are beautiful and brilliant as always, i enjoy the content. And i am going to try the monochromatic look.
Great tips Erin. The opposite is also true, if you are a very tall and/or traditionally built lady you may want to avoid disproportionately small bags.
I am loving your videos! I've never been much of a style maven, but in my 50's, I need all the help I can get! You're got the whole package going on with your good looks and intelligence. I rarely hear anyone using the word "poignant" and as a teacher I just have to share that the word "pertinent" would work much better and is probably the word that you mean to use. Check out the definitions and I think you'll see what I mean. 😁🙂🙃
Thank you for this! I've always wondered about your lighting/filming set up so thank you for showing us. You always look fabulous. And I love how you're wearing dark shoes with the long white dress.
Mirror selfies are amazing in the amount of objectivity they give. You wouldn't think it, but it really works! And who knows what you want to look like better than yourself - with an objective viewpoint?! Great tips!
So glad I have come across your wonderful videos! I think most women would love to wear high heels more often but they are just so uncomfortable. I, for example, need to walk from my house to the subway for about 5 min and by the time I am there all my hopes for high heels (not very high...) are gone. My feet hurt terribly and the next day I am in my sneakers again. Can you give some recommendations for shoe companies that sell soft, comfortable high heels? You mentioned wedges, yes they are great, but often the seams rub against my skin or the sole is hard and stiff. Even high end brands don't seem to be much better when it comes to chic, wearable shoes for women that give us that look you are talking about and that I would love to have. Thanks and you look fabulous!
I totally agree with you! Besides, your appearance is perfect: nice hairdo, nice make up, nice earrings. I do the same job as you but with adding an outstanding detail to the outlook. Congratulations.
I'm already tall and want to look smaller but either way matching the shoe colour looks way more tidy, stylish and satisfying to the eye. Will definitely take this onboard.
Thank you Erin, my interest piqued at "petite" being only 5ft & a pear shape, so not so easy to look elegant. Have already incorporated high rise trousers & jeans, cropped jackets, have always liked the monochromatic look, as being vertically challenged I've never felt I can cope with to many colours, my limit is 3 at most & all tonal. Will now be working on the foot wear I've got neutral shades, but will be adding more pointed toes with skin tone shades. I've actually brought my self lovely a white dress last year but to afraid to wear it, so scared I'd drop something down it or get it dirty somehow, but might be brave enough to wear it this year :) Thank you again Erin for all the great tips. X
I LOVE jumpsuits for feeling thinner and taller. I had quite a few back in the 90's (?) or whenever they were popular. I haven't found one lately that I like. I've always heard to wear darker shoes than your hem but I see a lot of women on tv, QVC, HSN, etc. who wear nude or light colored shoes or boots with dark pants and skirts so I've been a little confused. I almost always wear shoes with a little or a lot of heel; I feel taller and better than with flat sandals or shoes. Love your tips, I've followed a lot of these "rules" for many years. I realize I can break the rules and still look ok!
I am not petite (5'10") but I still enjoyed this video. Would you please do the same type of video for those of us who are taller and how to apply principals to suit our frames. I have a long torso so cropped shirts and jumpsuits don't always work for me. 😀
I am the shortest one of my girlfriends, when we get together, l am the one who always looks more stylish and put together because l followed these rules for decades. I learned by trial and error, back in the day (Gen x girl) we only had fashion magazines. Watching your video and other fashion UA-cam influencers l hope others will know how small changes....no pun intended make a huge difference. Thank you Erin
Great tips! and they make sense. Thank you for addressing petite issues (and shorter leg). I can still apply these tips even though I decided going forward I'm going to be wearing heels no more than 2-ish inches. I don't buy anything taller than that anymore (except for platofrm heels that equaled a 1.5 - 2 inch difference front to back). Just too old to suffer that much for fashion, lol.
YAY!!! I love that you brought this back, Erin. I absolutely LOVE all your past videos that have these types of topics. This is such a great refresher. 😊❤️
I love your videos also Erin ❤ I'm 5'1 and short waisted, so for length, I do not wear high-rise pants/jeans, but mid-rise and I usually match my belt to my top, so it's looks as though I have a torso 😊 I'm more of a sporty girl ❤ I am able to incorporate much of your advice ❤ You have a lovely soul ❤❤❤
Hi Erin, thank you from us ladies who are vertically challenged. I am what science calls the “recessive gene”. My Mom and Dad are 6 ft, bro over 6 and multiple girl first cousins over 6. Dang! Clocking in at 5’2”
I am also 5'2, but I am from short Irish people, maybe Pictish in our background? Everyone in my husband's family is over 6' , but he is 5'8". Our son is depressed. He topped out at 5'7". But he is handsome and dresses well, and the girls like him.
If it's any consolation, it's so much easier to be a petite woman than to clock in as a 6" plus female. Much easier to fine vertically fitting men to date. 🤣
Great video Erin given me a good insight into keeping that looking Tall.. I’m 5”4 and I had remarks on being tall when I’m Not I do like my heels it’s my power dressing..I feel good in heels and you look amazing in your heels 👠 thank you Erin ❤
Another amazing video!You always look so classy and fashionable. Erin,I’m 5’11 with a slim hourglass shape and wear everything including heels,loose fit jeans,wide leg trousers,bell bottoms and shorts.Never embraced skinny jeans and found them to be ugly,not sure why.However will admit that even with shapely legs I’ve never been a fan of mini dresses.They just look tacky and was always concerned of revealing more than I wanted.
Hi Erin! Let me start by saying that I think you are the best dressed lady I follow. I love your picks, tips and ideas. Thank you so much! Also, your hair always looks fabulous, how do you do it, maybe a hair product vlog? 😊
Hi Erin, I just discovered your channel. I love your style, plus you're petite! I've already sent this video to my sister. I shall be following you. Thank you so much! I love international travel and I appreciate all your style tips there as well.
Hi Erin, love your videos!! Can I add one more trick? Sleeves that fall over your hands can make you look (and feel) short. If you can’t have a garment tailored, cuff the sleeves to show your hands. Thanks for all your great advise!!
thanks for this Erin! I am 5' 2" and love these tips to look taller! I am definitely going to try the white on white kind of colors....that's something I never do. Have a great day!
Hi beautiful Erin.. First I have to tell you that dress is absolutely gorgeous, and your hair and make up are so beautiful. The dress looks Big skipped place Scroll down. Sorry amazing on you. I tell you all the time I have learned soooo much from you. I have watched you so long, but every video I learn something new. Who knew that a smaller purse would make a difference...it did. I love your new jeans ..so cool. I think I told you I finally found a pair of comfortable neutral heels ( not real high...I have a torn disc and two bulging discs so have stability issues right now ) but they are from Dream Pairs. They are probably not the highest quality, but to be able to wear heels again Is huge for me. Erin, I have a cropped jumpsuit ( it's actually cropped on me even at 5'2") and for some reason I have not worked up the courage to wear it...I am going to this summer with my new heels..jumpsuit is kind of taupe. Thanks for showing us some pictures of what you wore to Africa. As always Erin, I am so thankful for you...after all we have to get dressed every day ..might as well do it the best we can..loved that . I think Travis wanted go be in the video today..he was trying to tell you . Haveca great rest of the week.♡♡♡♡♡♡
Love this! Plus I’m so glad that you took photos for your trip. I just asked my niece to come and see what I plan on packing for Europe. I call her “brutally honest Meredith”. 😂. On a side note, my husband just said to me “are you getting an entirely new wardrobe for this trip bc packages keep coming and coming!!
I often take outfit selfies. Really helps. I already incorporate the majority of these. V neck tops are more flattering for me and I hope wide legs jeans become classic because I love them. Beautiful white dress. I found a maxi one at Anthro which is made if linen which will be great for Summer. Sezane makes beautiful pieces. Great video Erin!
Hi Erin, so lovely to see you making a video like this ! Spring and Summer are right there and I feel fun, fresh, an explorer, playful and colour lover 🤭😁I loved all the suggestions, they are so spot on! Loved loved that jacket that you can remove the bottom off!!! You Boo Boo Girl, look so much more YOUTHFUL with the cropped jacket!! I only noticed it when you showed the two versions of the same 😂I wholeheartedly tell you how youthful and fresh fun you look in that combination!!! I also loved the all in one colour... the white trousers with the ivory french top (gorgeous by the way!)... I believe that is fun, harmonious and optically elongating, no matter what colour one uses. I am a curvy lady and only 165cm tall, and i rock wedges with head to toe white lace set of gorgeous flowy A-line long bottoms and the top lace has a cheekey V neck and beautiful detail at the end of the flowy sleeves... I like to wear it with a pamela and a straw bag....and that adds joy and light and happiness that is spread around too! So yes Erin, it is fun to play around with our clothes, being creative to be more visually taller and leaner heheheh the tricks are endless and we are being kind with ourselves by using what we have and know, to our advantage 🥰🤗 Thank you so much gorgeous!
I've been on the hunt for a good summer cropped jacket! The trend is out there for teens and young ladies, but I'm scouting for my size in sophisticated style. I have high hopes : )

5 feet tall and a bit of tummy. So many challenges. Thank you for the tips. Don't like tucking so much. Love cropped jackets.
Please do a video on best spring jackets to wear over puffy sleeved tops without ruining your top or outfit. Always need that extra layer for air conditioning in the restaurant, etc. Thanks for your help!

Your choice of words and phrasing is also so body and age positive. Thank you. ❤
Finally found someone who understands the challenges we petites face on a daily basis.
So glad this popped up in my feed.
I'm 5ft and have adapted many clothes but this has given me a fresh perspective.
I've always avoided high-rise jeans as I thought they would restrict my movement and be uncomfortable but will now try a pair. Also I don't feel safe in high heels so have always worn flats, definitely motivated to try some espadrilles and short block heels.
Thank you for a great video ❤
Wearing very high shoes with a high platform will always be the best, and much more if you combine the tips that appear in the video.
There are several very tall shoes that are very comfortable and easy to walk in, you just have to find the right ones.
You could easily be almost 5'7" tall and with the right clothing you can appear taller visually.
Phenomenal video! You did SO MUCH work to create this video. Thank you, thank you! Amazing and well done!
I love when you said "we have to get dressed every day anyway".. so true! We always have control of what we wear! Great insight, Erin❤
Yeah, she said that as I am sitting watching with my hair in a top knot, with no makeup and lounge clothes. 🙃
I am going to make one more comment here. Dressing can change your life. I had a really bad pregnancy with child in NICU for 63 days. he was then a projectile vomiter for about 4 months. I wore the same two sweat suits the whole time (emergency C-section, followed by ICU for me for 3 days). I had to throw those sweats out and we had to throw the couch out. The carpet cleaners were called in often, and finally they said they couldn't save it, they couldn't get the smell out. But I had to do what I had to do. Once I put on some decent clothes, everything changed for me. I felt better, I starting paying attention to hair and makeup again. Fast forward to when the child is 11. I had 1/3 of my colon removed, with a 6 month recovery. The first appointment back to the doctor, he said, what are you wearing? Most people are in the sweet pants phase. I had on a loose T-shirt dress and flats. The dress was great, it didn't bind me anywhere that hurt. It wasn't fancy, but put together. So I told him my theory about getting up and getting dressed! it really improves your outlook to look nice.
Petite girl here 🙋🏻♀️I always love wearing my wedges and flare or bootcut high rise jeans. Makes me feel so much taller and more confident. Erin, your makeup today is stunning. Please consider a tutorial on it. You look beautiful ❤
Thanks so much! Makeup routine is very similar to this recent video that I shared all of my tips on: ua-cam.com/video/rCF-I34Kclc/v-deo.html
@@BusbeeStyle thank you! is the lip color different? love the pink lip here you have on, so nice on you.
Here's the pink lipstick I was wearing in today's video! go.magik.ly/ml/1tdok/ I have and love each of these shades! Can't go wrong with any of them.
I am petite and that is the first thing I loved about this channel! Countless others after of course! Thank you!
Thanks so much for watching, Diana!! xo
one of THE most excellently presented, interesting and valuable posts I've ever watched...concise and truthful.....bravo!
Thanks for your sweet comment, Gilda! So glad this was helpful! xo
This video is extremely valueable i just turned 40 and im 5’4 160 lbs so i feel honestly feel better when i look taller and confident.
For Last 3 yrs im usually wearing skinny jeans but it is absolutely counterintuitive to looking taller instead makes me look shorter and chubbier🤦♀️
I never had owned a high rise or a jump suit; after watching this video I was so inspired I got pointed pumps now I’m going to get jump suit and high rise jeans as well as trying to dress in monoclomatic color. Lord have mercy I was doing it all wrong trying to color contrast
Thanks so much I’m taking notes and what to buy to improve my wardrobe
Hi Erin, I’m 5”3 and these are some great suggestions. I always feel really short when I don’t have heels on but I don’t always want to wear heels. I love all the options in looking and feeling taller. 🌷🌷
Totally get it, Cathy! I'm so glad that this video was helpful for you! xo
I'm NOT petite!!! But, every tip was applicable to nearly anyone.... great suggestions/guidelines!!!
The tip about taking a pic of yourself is so true! I started doing that a few years ago after I saw a pic of myself in an outfit that wasn't the most flattering. When I originally saw it in the mirror, it looked good, but the pic showed a different perspective!
It really does help us to know for sure! It's like another set of eyes on the outfit. Plus helpful in organizing outfits to plan out for down the road! xo
Great tips. I've have always loved 1 piece dressing. And the shoe to blend or match always works. Thank you for sharing !
I have finally started buying pants in petite length, and got on board with high waisted. I don't wear elevated shoes often, mostly flats, so these tips help. I am hourglass shaped, shorter torso with longer legs, and I want to look taller because I want to look leaner, I'm a little thicker than I ought to be, but that's okay. These tips really help, thank you!!
I'm so glad these tips are helpful for you, Tennille! Thanks for watching! xo
Thank you Erin for this video. I wanted to take this time to say I appreciate you and all that you do on your channel. You make me smile and feel good when I watch you. I've learned so much how to dress my 5 foot frame while going through "the change of life". I feel more confident and special thanks to you!!!! ❤🧡💛💜🤍💖
❤someone that is Vertically challenged lol. 4 foot 11. I use all of these tips. You are amazing.
I just love, love, LOVE the puffy sleeves and have acquired quite a few tops with them. I love your vides. Your voice is so pleasant and calming.
Thank you so much! I love a puffy sleeve on my frame! xo
Loved seeing your set up reflected in the mirror.
Hi Erin, as a petite women I really appreciate your tips. You have a lovely style. Happy early mother's day to you & all mothers watching. ❤ take care. Thank you for all your recommendations.
I’m 5’9” and still enjoyed this video. Great info. Blessings to you.
I'm 5'7' but still would like to look taller!
Thank you Erin. Very informative with many takeaways. I must have that white sweater!
I'm 5'7 and have a tough time with jumpsuits and many pants, my torso is long. Most high rise hit below my belly button or more like a mid rise. I want to wear a peplum top, cant find a good fit there either. And i struggle to tuck bc i am a rectangle shape with a bit of a wider saddlebag when my weight is up. My bust is small so it isnt a good look, on me, imo. No belly here. I would love for you to feature some other body types. I saw this in your older content, but not recently. Video is great Erin, and you are beautiful and brilliant as always, i enjoy the content. And i am going to try the monochromatic look.
Great tips Erin.
The opposite is also true, if you are a very tall and/or traditionally built lady you may want to avoid disproportionately small bags.
I am loving your videos! I've never been much of a style maven, but in my 50's, I need all the help I can get! You're got the whole package going on with your good looks and intelligence. I rarely hear anyone using the word "poignant" and as a teacher I just have to share that the word "pertinent" would work much better and is probably the word that you mean to use. Check out the definitions and I think you'll see what I mean. 😁🙂🙃
Thank you for this! I've always wondered about your lighting/filming set up so thank you for showing us. You always look fabulous. And I love how you're wearing dark shoes with the long white dress.
A little behind the scenes look is fun sometimes! Thanks so much for watching, Irene! So glad you enjoyed this video. xo
I am so stuck in the dark color monochrome. Thank you for your encouragement, Erin to break that pattern.
Mirror selfies are amazing in the amount of objectivity they give. You wouldn't think it, but it really works! And who knows what you want to look like better than yourself - with an objective viewpoint?! Great tips!
Brilliant video, thank you Erin for all your efforts
You are SO welcome... And thank YOU for your support! xo
I am 5'6 but love your videos! Nothing wrong with looking even taller. Thank you
So glad I have come across your wonderful videos! I think most women would love to wear high heels more often but they are just so uncomfortable. I, for example, need to walk from my house to the subway for about 5 min and by the time I am there all my hopes for high heels (not very high...) are gone. My feet hurt terribly and the next day I am in my sneakers again. Can you give some recommendations for shoe companies that sell soft, comfortable high heels? You mentioned wedges, yes they are great, but often the seams rub against my skin or the sole is hard and stiff. Even high end brands don't seem to be much better when it comes to chic, wearable shoes for women that give us that look you are talking about and that I would love to have. Thanks and you look fabulous!
I totally agree with you! Besides, your appearance is perfect: nice hairdo, nice make up, nice earrings. I do the same job as you but with adding an outstanding detail to the outlook. Congratulations.
I'm already tall and want to look smaller but either way matching the shoe colour looks way more tidy, stylish and satisfying to the eye. Will definitely take this onboard.
Thank you Erin, my interest piqued at "petite" being only 5ft & a pear shape, so not so easy to look elegant.
Have already incorporated high rise trousers & jeans, cropped jackets, have always liked the monochromatic look, as being vertically challenged I've never felt I can cope with to many colours, my limit is 3 at most & all tonal.
Will now be working on the foot wear I've got neutral shades, but will be adding more pointed toes with skin tone shades.
I've actually brought my self lovely a white dress last year but to afraid to wear it, so scared I'd drop something down it or get it dirty somehow, but might be brave enough to wear it this year :)
Thank you again Erin for all the great tips. X
I laughed when i saw the caveat ' might' wear it .......go onnnnn do it, but invest in some vanish 😁
Watched most of ur vids and i loved it. Thank you for the fashion tips. 😘😘😘
I LOVE jumpsuits for feeling thinner and taller. I had quite a few back in the 90's (?) or whenever they were popular. I haven't found one lately that I like. I've always heard to wear darker shoes than your hem but I see a lot of women on tv, QVC, HSN, etc. who wear nude or light colored shoes or boots with dark pants and skirts so I've been a little confused. I almost always wear shoes with a little or a lot of heel; I feel taller and better than with flat sandals or shoes. Love your tips, I've followed a lot of these "rules" for many years. I realize I can break the rules and still look ok!
The mirror selfie is a game changer! ❤
Great tips 👍🏼 I LOVE this type of content. ❤ Thanks for sharing.
I absolutely loved this video. Thank you! 🫶🏻
I am not petite (5'10") but I still enjoyed this video. Would you please do the same type of video for those of us who are taller and how to apply principals to suit our frames. I have a long torso so cropped shirts and jumpsuits don't always work for me. 😀
Hi Deborah … yes l agree 😊 … l am 5’11” and also have a long torso, inverted triangle and long legs … l have such difficulties finding clothing !!
Thank you for the review at the end Your videos are always informative and give that little push to put effort into the look
Excellent & Relatable Content B 🥰👍
The photos are a great idea! Thx!
I am the shortest one of my girlfriends, when we get together, l am the one who always looks more stylish and put together because l followed these rules for decades. I learned by trial and error, back in the day (Gen x girl) we only had fashion magazines. Watching your video and other fashion UA-cam influencers l hope others will know how small changes....no pun intended make a huge difference. Thank you Erin
Great tips! and they make sense. Thank you for addressing petite issues (and shorter leg). I can still apply these tips even though I decided going forward I'm going to be wearing heels no more than 2-ish inches. I don't buy anything taller than that anymore (except for platofrm heels that equaled a 1.5 - 2 inch difference front to back). Just too old to suffer that much for fashion, lol.
Thanks so much for watching! You should only wear the things that make sense for YOU! I'm so glad these tips are helpful. xo
YAY!!! I love that you brought this back, Erin. I absolutely LOVE all your past videos that have these types of topics. This is such a great refresher. 😊❤️
I'm so glad this one was helpful for you! Thanks for watching! xo
I love your videos also Erin ❤ I'm 5'1 and short waisted, so for length, I do not wear high-rise pants/jeans, but mid-rise and I usually match my belt to my top, so it's looks as though I have a torso 😊
I'm more of a sporty girl ❤
I am able to incorporate much of your advice ❤
You have a lovely soul ❤❤❤
Hi Erin, thank you from us ladies who are vertically challenged. I am what science calls the “recessive gene”. My Mom and Dad are 6 ft, bro over 6 and multiple girl first cousins over 6. Dang! Clocking in at 5’2”
I am also 5'2, but I am from short Irish people, maybe Pictish in our background? Everyone in my husband's family is over 6' , but he is 5'8". Our son is depressed. He topped out at 5'7". But he is handsome and dresses well, and the girls like him.
I feel your pain. I'm 5'2 also.🥰
I’m also 5’2 and adorable ☺️
I love being a short woman! I don’t want to tower over people. And I like tall men, so go figure, LOL.
If it's any consolation, it's so much easier to be a petite woman than to clock in as a 6" plus female. Much easier to fine vertically fitting men to date. 🤣
Great tips as always
Thank you Erin 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😘
Oooohhhh I love how you styled your new Dior dress! 🥰🥰🥰
Great video Erin given me a good insight into keeping that looking Tall.. I’m 5”4 and I had remarks on being tall when I’m
Not I do like my heels it’s my power dressing..I feel good in heels and you look amazing in your heels 👠 thank you Erin ❤
Another amazing video!You always look so classy and fashionable. Erin,I’m 5’11 with a slim hourglass shape and wear everything including heels,loose fit jeans,wide leg trousers,bell bottoms and shorts.Never embraced skinny jeans and found them to be ugly,not sure why.However will admit that even with shapely legs I’ve never been a fan of mini dresses.They just look tacky and was always concerned of revealing more than I wanted.
I love this video. When you compare them, I can totally see the difference.
Yay! I'm so glad you can see the difference! Give some of the tips a try, and let us know how you make out! xo
Love the fairy dust idea ❤️
Hi Erin! Let me start by saying that I think you are the best dressed lady I follow. I love your picks, tips and ideas. Thank you so much! Also, your hair always looks fabulous, how do you do it, maybe a hair product vlog? 😊
Thank you. I’ve learnt a lot. Love the 2-in-1 jacket! Mabuhay.
Hi Erin, I just discovered your channel. I love your style, plus you're petite! I've already sent this video to my sister. I shall be following you. Thank you so much! I love international travel and I appreciate all your style tips there as well.
Thank you so much for being here, sharing the channel and for your kind words!!! 💗
Hi Erin!! I love the white dress looks like customized for you❤Thank you for the tips very useful
Very well done. Thank you!
this a great video amazing ..wooow🤩
Hi Erin, love your videos!! Can I add one more trick? Sleeves that fall over your hands can make you look (and feel) short. If you can’t have a garment tailored, cuff the sleeves to show your hands. Thanks for all your great advise!!
Great tip! Thanks for sharing! xo
Teenagers always will tell you the truth about your outfit, sometimes without you asking. Brutally honest and so useful.
thanks for this Erin! I am 5' 2" and love these tips to look taller! I am definitely going to try the white on white kind of colors....that's something I never do. Have a great day!
Love this one. I’m 5’2” and high waist pants make me so happy.
Hi Erin, 5’1” here. Love the tip
To match your shoe color to the outfit. So true!!❤❤❤
I agree. I’m 5’ 6”, but looking forward to see her ideas
Great tips thanks for sharing❤
Hi Erin.....Soooo glad I found you!!! I feel taller already 😂 Thank you so much!!!! 💖💖
You are so welcome! So glad you found this helpful, Arleen! xo
Hi beautiful Erin.. First I have to tell you that dress is absolutely gorgeous,
and your hair and make up are so beautiful. The dress looks
Big skipped place
Scroll down. Sorry
amazing on you. I tell you all the time I have learned soooo much from you. I have watched you so long, but every video I learn something new. Who knew that a smaller purse would make a difference...it did. I love your new jeans ..so cool. I think I told you I finally found a pair of comfortable neutral heels ( not real high...I have a torn disc and two bulging discs so have stability issues right now ) but they are from Dream Pairs. They are probably not the highest quality, but to be able to wear heels again Is huge for me. Erin, I have a cropped jumpsuit ( it's actually cropped on me even at 5'2") and for some reason I have not worked up the courage to wear it...I am going to this summer with my new heels..jumpsuit is kind of taupe.
Thanks for showing us some pictures of what you wore to Africa. As always Erin, I am so thankful for you...after all we have to get dressed every day ..might as well do it the best we can..loved that . I think Travis wanted go be in the video today..he was trying to tell you . Haveca great rest of the week.♡♡♡♡♡♡
Great video! Gracias 🎉
Thank you SO much, Jessica! xo
Loved this video!
Great tips, thank you! ❤
The butterfly blouse is beautiful 😍
This video was nice and clear and well done. Thanks.
Great video! I love the earrings that you are wearing, could you please tell me their brand? Thank you!
Love this! Plus I’m so glad that you took photos for your trip. I just asked my niece to come and see what I plan on packing for Europe. I call her “brutally honest Meredith”. 😂. On a side note, my husband just said to me “are you getting an entirely new wardrobe for this trip bc packages keep coming and coming!!
It makes such a difference! And I totally get that... sometimes we need another set of eyes, and a new wardrobe for trips! :) xo
You are very beautiful in this video and your voice is so calming, thank you, the video is great!
Great video!! As a petite lady (4"11"), I appreciate the tips!!!❤
So glad this was helpful for you, Nedra! Thanks for watching! xo
Nice video thank you ❤
“You’ll wear the crap out of these.” Hahaa, love it! Thanks, Erin & team.
Good stuff for us small humans! Thanks girl!
You're SO Welcome! xo
Thank for the tips❤
You're so welcome! Glad this was helpful for you! xo
I often take outfit selfies. Really helps. I already incorporate the majority of these. V neck tops are more flattering for me and I hope wide legs jeans become classic because I love them. Beautiful white dress. I found a maxi one at Anthro which is made if linen which will be great for Summer. Sezane makes beautiful pieces. Great video Erin!
Love the all white outfit.
Lots of great info and inspiration! Thank you ❤
So glad this was helpful! Thanks for watching, Delia! xo
Thanks Erin. Amazing ways to look a little taller.😊😊
Love this & love your style!! You look amazing & always an inspiration! 💖👍
Thanks for your sweet comment, Candi! So glad this was helpful! xo
That convertible jacket is fantastic
Well done!👏
Very useful tips!
Hi Erin, so lovely to see you making a video like this ! Spring and Summer are right there and I feel fun, fresh, an explorer, playful and colour lover 🤭😁I loved all the suggestions, they are so spot on!
Loved loved that jacket that you can remove the bottom off!!! You Boo Boo Girl, look so much more YOUTHFUL with the cropped jacket!! I only noticed it when you showed the two versions of the same 😂I wholeheartedly tell you how youthful and fresh fun you look in that combination!!!
I also loved the all in one colour... the white trousers with the ivory french top (gorgeous by the way!)... I believe that is fun, harmonious and optically elongating, no matter what colour one uses.
I am a curvy lady and only 165cm tall, and i rock wedges with head to toe white lace set of gorgeous flowy A-line long bottoms and the top lace has a cheekey V neck and beautiful detail at the end of the flowy sleeves... I like to wear it with a pamela and a straw bag....and that adds joy and light and happiness that is spread around too!
So yes Erin, it is fun to play around with our clothes, being creative to be more visually taller and leaner heheheh the tricks are endless and we are being kind with ourselves by using what we have and know, to our advantage 🥰🤗 Thank you so much gorgeous!
Thanks so much for your sweet comment, Eva... I am SO glad this video was helpful! Thank you for watching. xo
Great video.
Thanks for watching, Tracy! SO glad you enjoyed this one! xo
i WAS ON MY WAY OUT.. STARTED TO WATCH, CHANGED MY SHOES! WATCHED ENTIRE THING..Thank you
Thanks so much for watching, Catherine! xo
Great packing tip, taking selfies to confirm outfits look great and pack lighlty....
This was very helpful 😉❤️
That’s a beautiful white dress your wearing. Love your channel ❤️
I've been on the hunt for a good summer cropped jacket! The trend is out there for teens and young ladies, but I'm scouting for my size in sophisticated style. I have high hopes : )
Such a nice video! TY!
