Are you a Shawty? @ 1:41 PM
Today's post will be full of words :) It's all about how to look taller and skinnier!I'm extremely short, like 154 or 156cm? Yeah I know, I feel sad for myself too LOL. But if I can't change my height anymore, at least I can make myself look taller right!
So here I am blogging about how to make yourself look taller. When you look taller, automatically you'll look skinnier as well :) See I'm so nice, good things share with you all leh!
Tip one. Wear dark neutral colours. I don't really know why, but it works for me. Anyway I think outfits that are black are nice anyway :D
Tip two. Never, ever, ever, EVER wear three-quarter jeans. Serious. They make you look freaking short, fat, and your ass will look huge(not in the good way). Make you look like some auntie that just came back from the market. Don't believe you go try. That's why I never wear them unless I have no choice. They take away the curves and shape of your legs, and suddenly break awkwardly. Hence, only if you have some model figure and you aren't afraid of wearing anything, then you go wear lor.
Tip three. Try to wear vertically striped clothes. This might be a challenge, because horizontally striped clothes are more common. But little do you know, they make you look shorter. Plus, for myself, I prefer horizontally striped clothes, I find vertically striped ones weird though they can make you look tall. So if you're like me, you like horizontally striped clothes, the least you can do is choose them with thinner stripes. Meaning, choose clothes with spaces between each line that are smaller. Get it?
Tip four. Let your Shirt/blouse/top break away at your thigh area instead of your waist area. This creates an illusion that you have a longer body. For example, do this,
instead of this.
See the difference?
By breaking away at the thighs, it makes you look as though you have a elongated body, plus it will not make your legs look any shorter since your thighs are usually hidden when you're out anyway(unless you're a slut wearing translucent leggings as your pants).
Tip five. If you're wearing long jeans, make sure you don't fold them at the bottom. Alter them by sewing them after folding on the INSIDE.
Even mannequins can appear short with folded jeans.
Also, try to let the long jeans break on your shoes.
Tip six. Match up both top and bottom colours. Let's say your top is dark blue, try to make your bottoms dark blue as well. The same colour will make it seem like there is no break in your body dividing your legs and torso area = tall :D
Tip seven. Try to wear V-neck clothes. Especially don't wear turtle necks omg. Your neck will looks so high and you body will just be fail. Anyway it's Singapore here, so you don't even need turtle necks. V-neck clothes will create an illusion for the eye to people that you are in fact taller than you originally are.
Her neck and head is awkward! Maybe it's just me, but still?
Tip eight. If you have short arms, cover them up with a cardigan. Seriously, go try. It will make your arms crazily long.
Tip nine. Wear high heels. Like duh? Stilettos make you look the tallest, though I don't recommend them, ouch.
Tip ten. Try not to curl your hair in small curls. Try big gentle curls. Better yet, keep straight hair to aid in making you look taller.
That's all the tips I remember for now.
All these tips are just to make you LOOK taller. By the way, Sijing's mom says I look taller than Carnie. SEE, IT WORKS K. Carnie is at least 167? Like 10cm more than me la.
Now, to really BECOME tall, here are also a few tips.
Firstly, eat potatoes. This what Gillian said.
But potatoes contain like a lot of carbohydrates which make you fat so I have no idea hah. Potatoes =/= french fries okay! I laugh at you if you everyday go eat fries just to be taller. You will be taller, just sideways.
You can also drink milk, although it might be a bit too late, but no harm trying! MOOOOO.
Then, my elder brother, who is a gym trainer, says to go to the monkey bar and hang yourself with you arms every day over a period of time. The gravity pulls you down and will cause your body to be long.
But Sijing said, no, it will only make your arms longer, and I actually think it makes sense LOL. Maybe you go hang yourself on the monkey bar by your legs ah, then your legs can look taller, HAH.
My advice, skipping or playing basketball. I've been skipping almost every day for half an hour or so? Tiring mad I swear. You can skip up to thousand over, I counted. But I've been lazy for two days la, never skip. See if I grow taller soon, LOL, then you all can skip also.
Anyway, today is Jordan's birthday, Happy Birthday :) I miss him sooo much. One of my best partners everrrrr.
That's all, I'm gonna do maths now, till next time :)
Tired eyes,
In the beginning, there was nothing at all but the moon and the sun. And the moon wanted ti come out during the day, but there was something so much brighter that seemed to fill up all those hours. The moon grew hungry, thinner and thinner, until she was a slice of herself, and her tips were as sharp as a knife. By accident, because that is the way most things happen, she poked a hole in the night and out spilled a million stars, like a fountain of tears.
Horrified, the moon tried to swallow them up. And sometimes this worked, because she got fatter and rounder. But mostly it didn't because there were just so many. The stars kept coming, until they made the sky so bright that the sun got jealous. He invited the stars to his side of the world, where it was always sunny and bright. What he didn't tell them, though, was thing in the daytime, they'd never be seen. So the stupid ones leaped from the sky to the ground, and the froze under the weight of their own foolishness.
The moon did her best. She carved each of these blocks of sorrow into a man or a woman. She spent the rest of her time watching out so that her other stars wouldn't fall. She spent the rest of her time holding on to whatever scraps she had left.
