Sugar Plum Paradise | Great outfit for meetings, the office and even brunch. The pencil skirt in plum helps define the waist and accentuate the natural curves of the hourglass figure. The skirt hem should hit right above the knee or at the knee. This de-emphasizes the horizontal line of the hips which would appear wider if the hem was shorter. The cropped blazer hits above the hips to help emphasize the curvy lower half. The cami top is tucked in for a neater finish. It elongates the look with a slight v - neck and matches with the skirt to build height. The pointed shoes build the height of the hourglass further.
