She has a similar body type and I'm sure that her amazing sense of style will inspire you.&nbsp;</p> <p>You'll probably want straight skirts and shorter blousey tops to wear over them. Make sure the side seams of the skirt are sufficiently tapered for structure. Can you wear a heel? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-skirts-and-blouses-for-a-short-plump-apple#post-1637421 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 15:33:24 +0000 Diane CM 1637421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Angie! I've been following your work for a while and it's great to have a chance to ask a question about something that continues to vex me. &nbsp;I have been struggling with finding the right combinations of skirts and tops/blouses for my short but not delicate, borderline plus-size, apple body. I like separates and I regularly wear blouson-draped and half-tucked shirts and tees with pants. But what's the right way to do this with a skirt? And what shape and length skirts can I wear? I like to be a little adventurous but still professional and "just flattering enough" is fine with me. </p>
