Speaking of Ann Taylor LOFT…here are some things to pass on during their Friends and Family sale. First of all, I have a weird thing for tie-neck details on shirts.

I liked it so much that I’ve been searching for the perfect one ever since. Last year, I was obsessed with this one by Diane von Furste…

Ann Taylor Knit Slim Pants, size 00P (extra length folded under) :: H&M t-shirt, size 2 :: Cole Haan shoes, size 5 When Ann Taylor offered me a $100 gift card* to give their new pants a try, I figured it was a good opportunity to look for non-jean pants, since I seem to have a denim addiction and need more variety in my bottoms wardrobe. I normally go for bootcut or trouser style pants, but in my craving for something new, skinny and slim pa…

Fellow tiny petite, Susie, asked for some advice navigating the clothing options at Ann Taylor LOFT, specifically dresses, pants and jeans. The LOFT near me has horrible XXS and 00 petite offerings, so I checked out the on-line inventory for this one. While I haven’t had the opportunity to personally try on all of these items, I listed the details that gave me clues as to whether or not the item would work for a tiny petite. I know not eve…

…n are of this variety. For example, this top fit me fantastically! Petite sleeveless tie-neck top (rayon/spandex) Jackets: I’ve found a few blazers in P00 that have worked me, and each one has had the word “stretch” on the label. Go figure, since the stretchy fabric garments are cut smaller right? Look for things that say “stretch”, and there’s a chance it’ll fit. Pants: Just like with the jackets, the P00 pants that have the word “stretch” so…
