Petite Lookbook: Stripes and Bows

Happy Friday everyone! Here is the striped H & M bow skirt from my haul post on Monday that seemed to be quite popular! I wasn't sure how to wear this because it's not a skirt I can wear to work so I did two looks. Here is with this top......
Top: H & M lace tank- size XS (similar HERE)
Skirt: H & M bow skirt- size 2 (similar HERE )
Shoes: Aldo Taupe Patent Pumps- size 5 (similar HERE)
Necklace: Pearls with diamond accents

The navy lace tank I just got but forgot to include in my post on Monday- oopsie! I also got a belted black skirt from H & M that I failed to take a pictures of but it will more than likely appear in the future! I have tried other parts of my backyard but the way the sunsets, it's too dark so sorry for the same backdrop:(

Weekend Shopping: LOFT Final Sale Haul And H & M finds!

***Just got this dress today at LOFT for only $9.88***
 
Sorry for the terrible photos but just wanted to share in case someone wants to check out their local LOFT store! It was the only 00P left and fits really nicely! The picture does not do it justice!
____________________________________________________________
LOFT is having a huge sale and most of it is up to 70% off! I normally order most things online but hubby had to go get his new iPhone this weekend so I popped in the LOFT store and found these! Hurry before they are all gone!!
LOFT white jacket- size 00p (on final sale for $29.88)
LOFT Dobby Military Jacket- size 0P- (on final sale for $29.88)
(Here is the tag as a reference in case anyone wants to call the store)
I was so mad I couldn't find a 00p because it would have fit much better. But I had to settle for a 0p because it was too cute and too cheap to pass up! I will still keep looking for other stores to see if I can hunt down a 00P. I tried to have the SA call a few stores but it was so busy, I could have sworn- the stores she called didn't really check! (*sigh*)
Click below for all the things I bought!

Petite Lookbook: Yellow Linen Mini

I wanted to show a different side of me since I always do "work" outfits so here is a dress I pulled out of my closet that is definitely different from my other outfits. I got this about a year ago and have only been able to wear when we go on vacation but it still is a piece that stands out for me.
Dress: Twelve by Twelve Linen Mini- size XS
Shoes: Aldo Strappy Sandals- size 5

Petite Review: Paige Denim Kids Jeans- Size 12 Girls

I have always been curious about Paige Denim jeans ever since I saw it on Alterations Needed. She is a huge fan and wears a size 23 but I have never been able to track that size down. So I tried on a size 24 at Nordstrom Rack but the waist was huge and the length was way too long. I happened to stumble upon the kids section at Nordstrom Rack and found a pair of Paige Denim in size 12 girls! They looked like they would fit so I thought heck- I'll try it on just for fun. Here they are!
Okay so I wanted to try a different area in the backyard...:)

TLBC specializes in petite friendly bras with A and B cups and band sizes 28-36 and soon to have C cups (Fall of 2010). I think this is a GENIUS company who took notice of how many petite women are in need of a perfect fitting bra. I first found out about this company from AlterationsNeeded and ExtraPetite. It's just fantastic that companies are taking notice of our petite community!
The winner of this giveaway will win the Yvonne (retails at $56) smooth push up bra with gorgeous lace detail in their choice of size and color. It comes in Nude/Vanilla and Nude/Mocha.

Petite Lookbook: Pretty in Pink

This was a last minute post but I wanted to share with everyone my first Ann Taylor accessory purchase!! I was super nervous because it was a FINAL sale which means, if I didn't like it- I had to keep it no matter what! Well luckily for me, I loved it! Good thing I got both colors!!
Top: B.P. Nordstrom's Sweater- size XS (similar HERE)
Skirt: Theory "Joanie" Skirt- size 0
Shoes: Aldo Patent Pumps- size 5 (similar HERE)
Necklace: Ann Taylor Single Strand Pearls (still available)
This sweater top is so old but one of my favorites. Love the button sleeves and the fit. I am shocked that it hasn't started pilling up yet!
B.P (Nordstroms brand) has some cute shoes and tops. It's a Junior's brand so the sizing always runs small!
