…navy pinstripe dress with a collar and half-button placket from Nordstrom petites. It’s a nice classic piece with a menswear slant, but I wanted to do something a little different with it. This teal sweater (which was scored at Nordstrom last year) looks lovely paired with navy blue, so out of curiosity, I popped it over the dress to break the dress into pieces. I like how it makes it look like separates, and I really love the little peek of pins…

…ously, stupidly, excited for this shirt to arrive in the mail. Some recent Banana Republic shirts have been coming in a different sizing spectrum of only regular 0 – 16 (no 00 or petite/tall sizes), of which this shirt is one. Since I normally purchase petites, it makes for a roomier fit which is nice on one hand (I’ve been enjoying a more casual, oversized fit as of late), and unfortunate on another (petite proportions are just better on me), but…
…t) Earrings – Dannijo // (vintage lovelies) (also love these) Stalking the Banana Republic website because I stumbled on an image of this pant coming in grey plaid and need it to hurry up and go live already so I can snatch it up 😬 This camel color however IS live, and also pretty awesome. And according to the mailer I just received, an upcoming Friends and Family event should make them 50% off next week (codes go out to their email subscriber lis…
…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. That’s why Diane von Furstenberg is on my list of designers to check out in every store I go to…she’s the queen of the wrap dress! Some of my wrap collection: Tocca wrap top in size 0 (no alterations), Paige Laurel Canyon jeans, Chr…

Henrietta was kind enough to let me try out the Morning to Moonlight dress, in size 00P. This little black dress comes in a stretchy viscose blend fabric, with a scoop neckline, back zip, and my favorite thing in the world…pockets! This dress screams out for a waist belt and fun acces…
…ned Rachel’s leg line, for a flattering, leggy silhouette, which is advice petites of all sizes can gain from. They also switched out her tie-side bottoms for something with a little more fabric, which I’m a big fan of. Those tie-side bottoms do weird things visually to a lot of women’s figures. I was appalled when I tried on an old (from college days) tie-side bikini of mine not too long ago. It’s much more flattering boy-short bottoms for me fro…
This post contains affiliate links. FAQ: Can petites wear long, oversized layers? A: If my 4’11” ass can do it, so can you 😉 My tips: soft, unstructured fabrics drape better over smaller frames and curves, so try knits or drapey fabrics vs. things like structured coats. keep the pieces underneath slim-fitting, like skinny jeans vs boyfriend jeans. wear it open to give your frame/curves a chance to show from underneath. a heeled shoe/boot will alw…
