I’m so cool, I’m even cool by accident.” way (even though I stood in the mirror for a good 20 minutes fiddling to get the perfect tuck…it’s still not quite right…maybe next time). I’ve also been loving a clean black and white palette lately, And now, some dress shirt shopping tips I’m…

…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…

This little jacket also comes in white, black, and khaki. On the Theory website, they carry navy, which I d…

… keep my legs warm. Seeing as I don’t have any bright colored pants, I choose those as my one dark item. From there, marigold yellow always makes me happy, so the J.Crew chiffon placket cardigan made an appearance. This white Theory blazer never gets much wear during the winter…I guess that whole R20;no white after Labor Day” thing still sticks in my head, even though I know it’s bunk…so what better time than now …

I really wanted to wear this for Easter, but my Theory blazer was at the dry cleaners at the time, so I ended up putting something else together.

This is what I would have worn if my blazer was available: Blazer: Theory Amanda B, size 00, bought at the Theory outlet (this style fits really small!) Blouse: Banana Republic Factory Store, size P0 Jeans: Paige …

…blog. A few weeks ago, I got a hot tip from Wendy that the Blythe blouse worked for her in a regular size 00, so I figured the petite 00 was worth a shot. **if you watch Wendy’s latest video, you can see her wearing the white version in size regular 00** I adore silk button-down blouses, but I’m finding them very elusive for my figure. Silk blouses are usually cut generously for a looser fit, which is tough for me to pull off. Being s…
