Ask Fashion Girl

Dear Fashion Girl,

Dear Fashion Girl,

The dress code at my school requires that our shorts and skirts have to be below our finger tips when we put our arms to our sides, but my legs are almost my whole body and all the skirts I wear are practically at my knees. Do you have any suggestions that would let me be able wear shorter skirts or should I just wear long ones?

Thanks, Missy

Dear Missy,

Let me start by saying that most girls would love to have your problem! While your school's dress code does not permit you to wear short skirts, there are other ways to look stylish and show off your legs. Try wearing cigarette pants. They accentuate long legs and will make you appear taller and slimmer, especially in dark colors. If you really want to wear skirts, try wearing shoes with a heel. This will make your legs appear longer, giving the illusion of a shorter skirt.

I hope these suggestions help you. And remember, long legs are a blessing, not a curse!
