Last week Natalie Portman won an award for best actress for portraying a ballerina.

In the 1980's the return of swing dance and movies such as Dirty Dancing and Flashdance were followed by the poofy, short skirt trend. Leggings entered the 80's fashion with the exercise trend.

Modern fashion can take a more sophisticated look, by incorporating ballet inspired accents. These accents have been around for a few years now. But with the popularity of Black Swan, it is entirely possible these trends will be around for awhile.

I am grateful for the appearance of these trends. The short skirts can help to make short legs look longer. the high, trim waist can make narrow hips look wider or a long waist look shorter. The chunky sweater can tone down the fancy dress, while the shoes--heeled or flat--can create a dressy outfit.

Complimenting colors serve to make the short girl look taller, and all together either of these outfit--or anything with a similar shape--can be a feminine and elegant addition to a girl's wardrobe.
