I love

leotards. All colors, shapes, and fits. I know you're laughing to yourself. You're thinking I'm crazy, who wears leotards, besides ballerinas of course. This girl, right here.
They are an absolute necessity to your wardrobe. With all the high-waisted skirts and shorts, and even pants now, you need a leotard to wear under them. You don't want that embarrassing shirt role, that makes you look like you have an extra pair of hips. Nor do you want to be inconspicuously lifting up your skirt all day to pull down the edge of your shirt. Leotards are essential, end of story.  
My favorite place to find them: American Apparel. They sell them under the name "bodysuits" and they have them in all different sleeve lengths.

While they actually make going to the bathroom somewhat challenging, who said that fashion had to be comfortable? On the other hand, if you're wearing high-waisted pants or shorts, you probably wont be getting any anyway.
I'm not hating on anything high-waisted. I, personally, swear by the stuff. Wearing a leotard is a two-time deal. Once when you put it on, and once when you take it off.
You can be even more fashionable if you wear a high-waisted item with heels. Preferably wedges.
Wedges are functional, and fashionable, and shouldn't be discredited as a summer shoe. Just make sure they're closed toe or peep-toe and as winter rolls around you can throw on a pair of tights or socks.

To recap, today we learned that:
A. You need a leotard if you ever want to wear anything high-waisted. End of story.
B. Wedges are winter and summer shoes, depending on what you wear them with.
