My Details

I am 5’7” tall. I have a rectangular body type. I wear a size large or XL in tops and a size 12 and 14 and bottoms. I like to draw attention to my legs, draw attention away from my lower stomach and hip area.

Midi skirts are so great for so many different outfits. They are a staple for many teacher wardrobes as well.

Tucking the cardigan in draws eyes upwards towards your waist if that’s an area of your body like to accentuate, too.
