Pretty Tall for a short girl

DRESS - OASAP Bag+Shoes - ZARA belt + shorts+ rings - H&M

I got accepted into the OASAP bloggers programm and this was my first purchase. 

I must say,  I am a little stunned at how short this "dress" is considering it comes in one size.It fits like a shirt, and I am not at all tall, infact, I always considered myself medium height. I also didn't look at the dress well and thought that it was a high front, low back type of dress, which as you can see from the pictures, is obviously not. It is also very voluminous - there's a lot of material that just hangs there, hence the belt. Still I found a way to work with it. I wore a pair of shorts underneath, in attempt to make a summer's evening night out  - kinda situation. Although I know I will wear it with leggings, jeggings and maybe a pencil skirt? during the day so I am spoilt for options.

Also, when the boy saw my ensemble tonight, he really liked it, so I guess I am lucky that it's versatile, however, this length is just obscene for rainy/conservative Hamburg. What say you? too short or short enough??

  7. It's certainly pretty, but I can see how you'd want to wear pants or leggings or bike shorts or something underneath! Your legs do look fabulous!

  8. I see what you mean by too short. It looks like just the type for embarrassing slip ups in case of wind or a mis-step. I always wear boy shorts with anything short....an insurance policy that will never fail. You do have a lot of options though and you nailed black on black superbly. I love your heels.

  21. The length is okay, but since it is somewhat sheer makes it look weird. But you look great in it!

  25. Ha... now I know you don't want MY opinion on length! ;) I am tall and I wear them that short, lol! I LOVE it! You look great and got legs for days in these pics! For work, however, yep, throw that pencil skirt underneath... ;)

    I have never heard of OASAP. Was it worth the sign up? Great post and exposure to something new, dear. Thank you! :)

  28. Love the dress but maybe I'd have liked it a little longer. I once bought a dress that turned out to be shorter than I like and too loose but I added a belt and now I only wear it with leggings or a dark pair of tights. Love the shoes!!

  40. To reply to your comment on my Lust solid perfume from Lush review, It's definitely strong enough to be worn on it's own. I can easily smell this stuff on me. And I would say about every 6-8 hours really. It lasts a pretty long time.

    ReplyDelete
  41. I think this looks great on you and I know what you mean! The front is defnitely shorter than the skirts you normally wear but you do have a longer back so it's not so odd.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Haha, I bet your boy loved it alright! xD Your legs look so good in it. I know what you mean though, OASAP has really short hems...but you pulled it off in my opinion.

  61. That is an extremely gorgeous piece but I agree, it is very short for regular wear. Perfect for clubbing thought! It would look great with a pencil or bodycon skirt if you wanted to wear for everyday type stuff!

  62. love the asymmetrical dress/top! you said you're an average height but in the photos it looked like you're pretty tall. =)
