Got my red stripes on

 I'm happy to report that red and white stripes are on the rise in fashion! 

Very cool red stripe tee on Aubrey Plaza in the NBC show Welcome to Sweden:

The lengthy debate

The usual guideline is if you're petite, shorter hemlines are preferred to lengthen the legs. However, I'm always debating this because shorter lengths are not always appropriate and sometimes the legs just don't look that great (flabby thighs, cellulite-showing, pasty, crooked, bruised, veiny, etc.). So here's me attempting different hemlines to see what really is the best length? 

A) MINI-SHORT SHORTS - not appropriate for work, but good for hot summer weekends

B) MID-THIGH - shhh, actually wearing an underslip dress here

 C) KNEE-LENGTH - this is realistically how I normally dress to work

D) MIDI-MID-CALF - the only midi-length items I own now are gaucho (or culottes) lounge pants

  E) FLOOR-LENGTH - wish I had a black maxi-dress for more consistency

Hmm...after looking at these photos, I really can't decide what looks better. The infamous midi length is probably the least flattering. However, there are probably ways to make midi-length more pleasing like wearing heels instead of flats. Anyhow...

Does length really matter?

What do you think is the best or worst?

Flower gazing

Taking a stroll in my parent's garden. This is how flowers bloom in the desert...
