…laid houndstooth wide-leg pant (way too wide for tiny legs!) Jeans: Forget it! BR jeans run big all over. The waist, thigh, and leg are always huge on me. I’ll pay for premium denim that fits WAY better any day! Dresses and Skirts: BR dresses and skirts in PXS and P00 run about 1 size too big. On dresses, I find the shoulders a little big, and the chest seaming too low, so the girls are never where they should be. The sides usually need some ta…

Summer has me looking for some more fun skirts to wear while running around in the heat, so I picked two up that seemed interesting from LOFT. First up, the Silk Tiered Skirt in size Petite 00: LOFT Silk Tiered Skirt in size petite 00 This one was interesting in theory, but didn’t quite work in practice. The good: This skirt is 100% silk and a very pretty dusty rose color. The tiered design is interesting and pretty. The bad: The waist w…

…ove this skirt so freakin’ much, not only did I buy both colors…but I actually bought both colors twice! Let me explain… First purchase: I bought both colors with a 20% off coupon code and free shipping. The skirts arrived, I squealed with excitement at the adorableness looking back at me in the mirror, and needed to keep both. But wait a minute, the skirts were still available online, in size 00P, and with a much bett…

…8220;No, no, no. It needs to be slimmed, but that’s all it needs.” I reiterated my concern with the length because, well, I’m short, and all I ever hear is how petite women should wear shorter skirts.

I was reminded of Petite …

This cardigan mysteriously disappeared …weird! Shop: Banana Republic: 40% off full priced items for card members on Saturday, 6/19/10 with code PRESALE40. Finally! Some BR items worth looking into! I really like this linen/cotton skirt, but it doesn’t come in petite.

…hat don’t swallow my limbs in a sea of fabric is quite hard to find. Most non-denim pants need a hefty amount of slimming in the leg, which can get costly. Now, I know you must be thinking by now…”just wear skirts! Duh!“…being the tomboy that I am, skirts are something I get the occasional itch to wear, but are NOT my everyday staple. In skirts, I find myself fidgeting, pulling, adjusting, smoothing, and just overal…
