How to Shorten a Dress Without Sewing

At a whopping five foot three (and 3/4's!), my torso is on the shorter side. This comes in handy when I want to wear a romper or jumpsuit (anyone else notice those are only made from shot torsos?!), but not so much when I want to wear a tunic or a knee-legnth dress. As you already know, Kaitlyn and I swap a lot, but what is a perfect fit on her is not always a perfect fit on me. For this I use an easy fix for shortening a dress without sewing, a belt! 

OK, I realize I am not reinventing the wheel here, but by realizing this simple trick you really can get more out of your wardrobe. Prior to belting this beauty, it was below my knees. Not the best length for my body type to be honest. By adding this gorgeous tassel belt and pulling the material up over it, the dress quickly took on a new look and shape. Which was better for my shape. ;)

Little Black Romper

LBR, that's a thing right? Well, it should be as this "little black romper" has come in handy for a night out on a few occasions so far. It's classic somehow but still dressy so it was perfect for the Bachelorette party I was attending this night. Plus, you don't have to worry about bending over or giving others a "show" as you dance all night because you are in shorts! That's a win in my book.



I kept the look all black and blue with silver jewelry. I love how the blue in the shoes and in my nail color just popped! I also love how the silver jewelry made this look a bit more edgy for my #GNO. A nail cuff, some vintage finds, and a statement necklace take the look from basic to unique! Add some great waves to my hair and a bright lip and I was good to go for my night out in the city.

Because Lisa Loves a Great Wrap Dress!

There is truly nothing more flattering then a great wrap dress. Over the years, I've owned about 7 Kristin Hassan wrap dresses in different prints because they are just so body friendly no matter what size you are (and luckily, she's launching more soon!)

I lived in two of them after the birth of my daughter because they just looked better on me then other dress styles I could find at the time and I've been hooked ever since. Not to mention, who doesn't love a dress with pockets?

Here is how I styled my new wrap dress for a birthday brunch celebration:

Dress: c/o Kristin Hassan // Bag & Shoes: c/o Just Fab // Necklace: Guess // Watch: Fossil // Sunnies: Prada // Bracelet: Vintage (Passes Down) // Stackable Rings: Shop Jules // Hair Extensions: Hair by Suzie 

I finished the look off with bow toe shoes, silver jewelry, and a great nude bag.
