(the only circumstance where this is acceptable is if you resemble Cara Delevigne in body shape and height, or if you are a mythical Amazonian woman of some sort.)
Always keep what your wearing on the bottom slimming and flattering to your body shape. I tend to love getting my legs out, even if your not as comfortable with yours; straight leg ankle grazers will fit the look if you are unconvinced about really skinny skinnies.
It is important to remember that the exaggerated waist (or illusion of) is one of our best slimming methods along-side killer heels. (Think Kelly Brook's hourglass figure.)
Here are two outfits where I wore oversized clothing, yet did not hide my figure.
My get-up-and-go college outfit; jumper; Stradivarius, shirt; Forever 21, disco pants; River Island, brogues; Pennys
Here I'm wearing a denim sleeveless vest from Penny's; an oversized, off-white blouse which was my grandmother's, gold leather skirt and leather, lace-up heeled boots, and sunglasses; all River Island.
If you feel top-heavy when wearing oversized tops, team with a skater skirt and tights for a softer silhouette, or try tucking an oversized tee or shirt into a jeans or a skirt. Wearing a dropped waistline isn't for everyone; I rarely dare it.
