Q. Help! I'm a plus-size teen looking for a complete outfit idea to wear to graduation. I'm top-heavy with slimmer hips and legs, and I definitely prefer wearing skirts and tops than dresses. I also have size 10 wide feet. Can you find a cute outfit for me?

A. To balance out your figure, choose a dark-colored top to make you appear less top-heavy. Then pair it with a pleated or full skirt that is hemmed at the knee in a light or bright color. The overall look de-emphasizes your top-half and brings focus to your hips and legs. Show off your beautiful features in this black and white outfit that's sure to get high honors.

The pattern on this silver medallion necklace is the inspiration for this outfit and is repeated throughout the ensemble.
