    Yes! Very smart fashion advice. When I was in 10th grade, I had to do a written paper for my geometry class. I wrote mine on the use of geometry in creating prespective in art. That helped me learn how to direct the eye and create a long line on my small 5'4" frame. Most people think I'm much taller than I am and I rarely wear high heels. So glad I found you.

    Hi your videos are really handy. Jfyi petit is masculine the t is silent. In your case petite should be used when referring to yourself. In this case the final e is silent but the t before should be heard. One suggestion : could you also use size plus models sometimes. I could help the size plus petites to figure out better what to and what to not use. Otherwise very crisp and well illustrated presentations.

    You are very good. I like the way you explain the reason for your choices of footwear and the concept of horizontal and vertical lines. Also good info on the colors and toe style of ankle boots.
    I would prefer a plain area , as opposed to all those leaves around when you actually show a full length outfit. Patterns, leaves, etc. on the ground distract from the presentation and getting an accurate view of the outfit from toe to head or vice-versa.

    I bought a pair of wide leg jeans that are shorter and I find them almost impossible to style. I end up wearing them with white sneakers most of the time, and I regret having given money out for them. Watching your video I finally get why I just feel weird in them. It’s because they make my legs look short because of that crazy horizontal line. I have another pair that are longer and I feel like $1 million in them. I have super cute booties that look cute with the shorter ones but they don’t work well for walks, which is about the only activity that I have been doing since Covid. Your video was just super helpful!!! Thank you!

I like how it gives an outfit a sporty vibe, and quite honestly, I like the way it looks. I don’t mind being short so it’s no big deal to me if I look short.
