A reader pointed me to this brand a looooong time ago, and I was a little slow in trying them out, but I’m glad I finally did. In soft rayon/spandex blends, Sky tops are great for parties or going out with the girls. They are trendy and youthful with pretty embellishments and details. And the best part is, they are tiny and stretchy! I tried on tops in both sizes XS and S, and even the S could work for me! Sky ‘…

During the Ann Taylor “Buy One Top, Get One 50% Off” promotion, I went a little crazy online shopping. I used the SHOP30 code to get an extra 30% off, and free shipping on $150+. What a good deal! I’ve got a taste for some silky tops right now, so I bought a bunch of silk offerings in size PXXS, in the hopes at least one of them would work.

Wrap dresses and tops are a petite girls best friend! The genius of a wrap is that…well…it can be wrapped around the tiniest of waistlines! Wraps allow tiny, thin petites who usually can’t fit into a brand or clothing line, find something that works for them. I love wraps, and look for them wherever I go.

…ght below the gigantic Nordstrom staircase, it’s also convenient and easy to find. All the flowy, bohemian summer stuff was right up front, which put a damper on my shopping because if I want over sized tank tops, I can just shop any old store and call it a day. Where were the tiny sizes I was hearing so much about? Once I made it past the first few racks, I started to hit gold. Tiny tanks, silk tops, and wool pencil skirts̷…
