What clothes look good on short girls?
I've asked this before, but only got 3 answers and none of them were very good. I'm 15 and only 4''11 and weigh 100 lbs, but I have longish legs for a short girl and a shorter torso. What types of clothes would look flattering?

Extra Tips:
- Narrow clothes & fitted shapes are a DO, baggy clothes are a DON'T
- Stay away from stiff, heavy, or bulky fabrics and clothes
- Try monochromatic outfits (one color head-to-toe), but not all black
- Don't try to wear too many colors at once
- Small patterns/prints are a DO, big overpowering prints are a DON'T
- Wear prints on top instead of on bottom
- Choose vertical stripes & prints instead of horizontal
- Wear kitten heel at the least, but only up to a 2-3" max on heels
- Have a slightly longer hem on your pants and wear them with heels
- Small accessories only ( narrow belts, small purses, thin scarves, etc.)
