At 4'11" and 85lbs, I'm too small for or have been sized out of most clothing brand and designer lines. Now in my twenties, I've committed myself to building a respectable, chic wardrobe filled with quality, well fitting clothes...but how do you build a wardrobe when quality chic clothing is not made for someone of your *ahem* "stature"? Finding clothing that runs small and being well styled is an exhausting exercise, so this is a compilation of the things I've tried and that work for me, in the hopes other tiny petites can be as well dressed as the big girls.
I use affiliate links to earn commissions on all my hard work shopping and reviewing items. Kinda like a petite personal shopper. By clicking or purchasing through a link on my site, I earn a little bit of spending money.
All items featured or reviewed on this site are purchased by me unless otherwise noted.
Fall makes me want to layer tons of things all over myself...colors, textures, camisoles, sweaters, vests, jackets, jewelry...sometimes all at the same time. I have to stop myself, because, as a tiny petite woman, too much is easily overwhelming. My new favorite sweater and jacket accessory is a fun brooch. Pinned on a jacket lapel or sweater front, it's a fun way to add some detail and color to an outfit. As with most things, I start out small, and then over time get brave enough to go a little bigger. My brooches were all little dainty things, but then I found this awesome, big, flower brooch at White House | Black Market, and now I can't stop thinking about them.
I love the idea of a statement brooch. I especially love the size. It's big enough to grab attention and be a fun accessory, but I still feel comfortable wearing it. Use one in a highly contrasting color to add interest to what would otherwise be a boring outfit.
J.Crew has some cute flower and feather broaches that have both a pin and and a bobby pin attachment--so that you can wear them in your hair or pinned to your clothing.

Thought about you when I saw this Bloomingdale's flower brooch on Ebay:
