** Congrats to Curls and Pearls, who won the signed copy of Gunn’s Golden Rules! ** Not the most exciting outfit, but I wanted to get these photos up for today, since these LOFT petite pants are on sale, run small, still available online in size 00P, and are an extra 30% off! Nice fit in the rear. Just a small amount of space at the waist, not even enough to alter! Pants: LOFT Petite Equestrian Wool Trousers, size 00P (On sale,…

I explored the brand Theory for work pants some time ago, and walked away with nothing. I was frustrated because all I kept hearing from people were, “Theory runs really small, it would totally fit you!”, but I found the pants to be way too big. You can read my original Theory post here. Since then, I was having a really hard time finding pants that were not jeans. I wanted something in a nice gray fabric, preferably wool or a wool b…

As mentioned in last week’s Petite Fashion Challenge post, my newest mission is to find non-jean casual pants. I live in denim, and even then, I only own about 3 different styles, with multiples of the styles I really like (like those darn bootcut Paige jeans you see me in almost every day in the Week in Outfits posts. I own more than one pair, I swear!). Even I’m getting bored with my lack of options, which means I’m sure you…

…east one size bigger than myself will probably find the fit I’m wishing for, but I’m sure there are plenty of ladies who would be fine with the slouchier fit. Next up…pants… I’ve been looking for pants for some time now, and after not finding a good fit with J.Crew, figured I’d give these similar cuts from LOFT and Ann Taylor a try. Please excuse the bright color clash going on. My camera battery was threatenin…

www.theory.com Every time I ask a sales associate at a department store to show me the brands they think run small, they say, “Oh! Theory runs incredibly small!” Every time I complain to someone I don’t own any decent dress pants because I can never find any small enough, they say, “Have you tried Theory? That brand runs REALLY small!” I would like to set the record straight. Yes, Theory size 00 works for a lot o…

…e great non-blue-jean pant search of 2011 continues! This week’s installment profiles this season’s holy grail…the mustard pant. I chose this pair by process of elimination. H&M had/has a pair, but their pants fit me notoriously horrifically (the crotch does all kinds of funky things and the rise is always too high). ASOS has a pair, but the mid-rise won’t work for me (darn my short torso and short rise!). This “…
