thanks, comps. I guess i'll have to go into the store - the link still has a lot of summer casualish stuff. </div></div>

Yes definitely. You'll love their selections and they do have quite a bit for the not so tall folks.

There's a location in Scarborough Town Centre. I like the Yorkdale location.

if the person is short, to make the body look taller they would say do empire waists

this makes the legs appear longer and overall taller.

ETA: would it make me look preggers?

</div></div>

definitely with a blazer and no it wouldn't make you look pregnant. stay away from anything with the waist line too near the boobs tho. good legs get nice treatment from a above the knee skirt with a jacket as well. also invest in pearls and stylish flat, or moderate pumps. </div></div> </div></div>

i want to falla sue's advice on this piece, but mi no sure gen if u agreeing with sue or not.

one reason mi no have a lot of so-called executive type cloze is caw i think them kinda stifling of mi sense of miself. honestly, i'd much prefer to take something out of the ordinary and add an ordinary piece to it, kinda like how sue suggesting with this tunic.

but then again, i could getaway wid dem ting deh when mi was a size 10

ah well, time to grow up in mi wardrobe.

well , i don't think i have it that bad, lol! i do struggle though with cloze. i never seem to pick things that suit me, and stuff i like never seem to fit.

i think i'll start simple. a good jacket and skirt, then some white shirts. plus some decent shoes.
