Greetings from PA!
It's Kyla from Blue Collar Catwalk popping in while Sarah is off gallivanting in amazing places with amazing people!
I think we're officially in the dog days of summer, and the temperatures were hot hot hot this week, which leaves be wanting to wear the drapiest, airiest pieces I can find. Incidentally, this makes for two extra wide-leg pants posts in a row for you guys! Palazzos for the win!
I've gotten lots of questions on wearing such a bold cut when you're short and/or curvy. Here's a few tips to pulling it off:
1. Highlight your waist: I am both short and curvy, so highlighting my waist is a must if I don't want to look like I'm being eaten by pretty pants.
2. Remember proportions: My legs are on the shorter side, so I prefer wide-leg pants to be a slighter higher rise, so that my legs look longer than they may actually be. Same for the top - I try to go with a slightly shorter cut to balance things out.
3. Find balance with shapes: I prefer a more slim-fitting top with these pants, though a floaty version like this worked because it's a short cut.
4. CONFIDENCE! Hold your head high and love what you're wearing. That's really all anyone is going to notice anyway!

Excellent tips. At 5'3, I have always dreaded the idea of wearing pants that could consume you, but now I think I am going to get a pair (or 2).
These look good on you Kyla. Unfortunately anyone with any sort of tummy (ME!) probably couldn't pull this off. :/
awesome!!
