It is so summery and comfy looking. <br />I am not a fan of hi lo hemlines for my self but have recently purchased two tops that are slight hi-lo and I find for tops on a short stature they are flattering. They end in the front above the crotch which lengthens the legs but dip in the back to the crease of the but. This makes the legs look longer and the butt smaller, or at least hidden a bit. I hope to use the look in upcoming tops.Bunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03672695141031447916noreply@blogger.com
