As a petite woman, I spent most of my life thinking that I could only wear short dresses that lengthened my figure. But you should take a risk. Lately I enjoy wearing midi silhouettes that end on my calfs. A clear example is this yellow dress that I had made in resemblance to one that Selena Gomez wears like a second skin (Atea Oceanie).

I got it from an artisanal market in Cusco and it cost 5 peruvian soles. Read more
