Have a luncheon planned for the weekend? An afternoon wedding? A cheery yellow a-line shift with a flattering deep v neck will have you, and everyone else, singing a happy tune. The perfect nude pump will lengthen those killer stems, while simple gold studs paired with a bolder ring and bracelet draw attention downward. Add a cheeky leopard print tote (or a smaller clutch for that wedding) and put on a smile. It won't be hard!

Not much compares to slipping into the perfect pair of jeans or a beautifully tailored blazer. A wide leg jean trouser neatly balances your top half while an artfully draped chiffon top conceals a heavier midsection in an incredibly chic way. Pull the look together with a gam-lengthening wedge and a bright shoulder bag. Shrug off the blazer at night for a cocktail-ready ensemble and say hello to the handsome gent to your right.

Who ever said that short girls can't wear maxi dresses? Actually, a maxi in a solid color creates the illusion of height, and when paired with a cinched waist and deep v neckline, your petite and curvy frame can stand up next to any 5'10" gazelle. Throw on some bangles, a fun colored sandal and an elongating pendant necklace and you'll feel a million miles tall.

One of my favorite wardrobe staples is a great printed trouser--it adds a whimsical and unexpected touch to an otherwise classic outfit. A high-waisted, wide leg version is especially lovely on petite frames, giving the illusion of sky high legs by raising the waistline and creating extra curves. Tuck in a pleated blouse and strap on some cute wedge sandals for a little extra oomph.

Just because you have a jam packed schedule doesn't mean you have to sacrifice style to comfort. A pretty pleated cap sleeve blouse tucked into an a-line skirt balances out a heaver lower half and an essential staple, the brown leather belt, accentuates the waistline. Throw on a blazer and some bright bangles to tie everything together, but let's not forget the piece de resistance: a beautiful nude flat for running from one fabulous appointment to another in style.

While you're busy juggling hors d'oeuvres, wine glasses and sparkling conversation, rest assured that one worry at your next dinner party won't be your outfit. A cobalt, empire waisted dress paired with a deep v neckline and chain necklace draws attention upward, while a killer pair of black patent pumps emphasize those fantastic gams. Simple diamond (or sssh, faux) studs and silver bracelet cap off an ensemble that every hostess from Betty Draper to Martha Stewart would envy. Bon appetit!
