SETS
As a mid-size lady that’s on the shorter side of average, a suit is my secret weapon for looking taller, more confident than I actually am and like I actually have my shit together. If that’s the vibe you’re wanting for spring, then here ya go:

VOLUME, BABY
I’m doing my best to embrace the big this season (wish my pre-wedding shred would also do that but oh well) but an outfit with a little bit of volume, whether that’s a ruffle, poofy sleeve or full skirt can help to balance out the body and offer a bit of drama and spice.
