Seeing personal style through K's eyes.
I'll be chronicling my quest for personal style on a frugally-raised college student's budget. Fitting room reviews, style inspirations, musings/rants about dressing a petite, size-2 apple figure--just whatever is on my mind. I adore the Anthro aesthetic, but rarely pull it off in real life. Same goes for heels and make-up...

Date: 15 Jun 2011 07:00 pm (UTC)Browsing through random blog archives, I just recently discovered that S. from Academichic is also a slim apple shape. Her post, and the ensuing comments, on belting an apple figure is full of fellow "apples" chiming in with relief. It seems like the majority of style bloggers are pear, hourglass, or occasionally rectangles (bananas?).
