Dress: from TorontoNecklace: Forever 21
I cannot believe I got this dress for $10. Hells yes. Found it in this random place in Toronto along Queen St. The store was below street level and seemed kinda sketchy since everything was $10. For all I know it could have been "borrowed" goods! Well, a deal is a deal I guess!
If you had asked me a year ago, I would have said that short-waisted people should not wear high-waisted bottoms, but now I'll eat my words thank you. I love high-waisted skirts and dresses like this and I'm happy to say it doesn't make me look stunted. The key may be in having a scoop neck on the upper half to elongate the neck and draw the eye. Beware of empire waists though; those can still be tricky!

$10??? wow, it's definitely a steal!!
What an awesome deal!!
Don't you love shopping when you get crazy deals like that? =)
Good job bargain hunting! Look at you! Love the pose!
Awesome deal. I love color block dresses. Yours looks nearly identical to the AA two-tone fitted mini, which has been on my wishlist FOREVER (still gotta do some extra situps, that dress is NOT forgiving haha)
That dress was only $10?! I die! I need to find some shops where I can buy amazing pieces such as this for even more amazing prices. You look gorgeous! :)
Woah, amazing deal!!! Hope you're having a beautiful weekend :)
i totally agree that high waisted skirts rule. they are sophisticated and fun.
Empire waists, especially on small asian gals like us, can make us look to babyish.
I have a reader request: will you do a holiday makeup video? Love your makeup sessions!
Umm nice! Awesome deal girl and great dress! Have a good weekend!
I agree scoop necks are teh key, however i think short people look adorable i high waisted skirts and dresses!

hehehe, Toronto is full of stores like this! I love the dress, you look fab in it!
Wow, great deal for a fab dress! I think high-waisted skirts or trousers suit most people... as long as you get the proportions right. I do agree re: the empire line. I think most girls still end up looking pregnant in those...
i agree, I love the high waisted look, it totally makes me look taller!
wow, what an awesome find!! I could never have guessed that that dress was $10! It looks so good on you :)
You definitely don't look stunted! It's an adorable dress. I'm a fellow shortie and need to rock the high waisted look more I think.
$10! What a great find!
