Carolynn Tassel Loafer curated on LTK

The Franco Sarto loafers (top right) are stiff and definitely require breaking in! They were gifted to me and not very comfortable- I’m still on the lookout for less stiff platform loafers. The Sam Edelman flat loafers are the other hand are some of my most comfy shoes! For those, I’m usually between 5 and 5.5 and went up to the 5.5 in this particular style. Some have also shared that they fit a little narrow if you have wide feet. I have the no show socks I wear with these linked on my Amazon page (Amazon.com/shop/ExtraPetite)

A favorite classic outfit lately

• J Crew blazer 00P - this color “soft ivory” is a cream color. Beautiful quality but low stock, so I also linked similar blazers available in petite sizing!

• Abercrombie mini skort xxs with side zipper and built in shorts.

• Madewell turtleneck xxs, thinner and slightly sheer, I fold the turtleneck inward twice

• Chanel loafers 35.5

• YSL Kate sunglasses

These $50 cashmere sweaters would make nice Mother’s Day gifts!

• 100% silk Midi slip skirt Xs - I also have the champagne color for a few years now and that color is the prettiest . @onequince #quincepartner

A luxe year-round piece and pairs well with the matching affordable cashmere sweater for an elevated look. I usually wear my Uniqlo shaper shorts under my silk slip skirts, and I tuck this sweater using my DIY elastic tuck band method or using a hidden skinny belt as shown in one of my recent reels!

The xs skirt measures 22.5” across the waist (elastic) and 28 to 29” in length.

• $50 cashmere sweater xs . This one is classic fit, with sleeves just a little long on me so I usually wear them casually pushed up. They also have a shrunken fit cashmere sweatshirt style that’s slightly smaller in fit.

• Gucci heels 35

Two @onequince dresses in 100% cotton and 100% silk. #quincepartner

• black dress in stories is 100% cotton with smocked waist, adjustable straps and pockets . I have on XS in the IG stories. There’s some room on me at the bust, it helped for me to adjust the shoulder straps shorter.

• brown slip dress is 100% silk for under $80, and comes in 14 colors! This one is midi length and a figure grazing fit on me, not snug or loose.

• Reformation heels

@onequince cotton dress in xs. Fabric is a cotton poplin which is known to stay breathable and cool for hot summer days.

Has adjustable straps and adjustable tie at the neckline where there’s a small keyhole detail, also has pockets! #quincepartner

Xs is a tad loose on me at the bust, better after shortening the shoulder straps to raise the torso up.

Aritzia Effortless Pant 00 Short in hummus beige, also love the matte Pearl or taupe color options. Inseam measures 28.5” with an 11” rise.

High quality crepe fabric that drapes beautifully, waist is fitted on me with no gap.

A while back I bought these pants in another color and found them to be too long, but I just realized that I mistakenly got sent regular instead of short! so always double check the inner tag label.

• also linked the effortless crops which are great for petites. At 5 feet tall I can do the crops in either regular or short. 00 regular crops measure 23.5” inseam and 11” rise

• Wilfred off the shoulder Nola sweater xxs - the sleeves were long on me so I folded them under.

• coordinating vest runs small at the chest

#LTKSeasonal #LTKstyletip #LTKworkwear

petite friendly elegant crepe pants, linked some tops in the matching color too. @aritzia #aritziapartner

I’m trying on “light birch” here which I found to be a little sheer (def wear skin toned undergarments). I ended up getting Matte Pearl instead which is less sheer with a touch of taupe coloring in it.

• The effortless pant cropped length 00 short. Inseam on crop short is 23” and the inseam on 00 crop regular is 23.5” both with an 11” high rise

See my other LTK video post for how the 00 regular crop looks on me - very subtle difference! I ended up getting the regular crop but both were so simialr in fit.

the coordinating jackets linked are petite friendly in their length and shoulders , but sleeves need to be folded or hemmed on me.

• Nola sweater xxs - the sleeves are long so I have them folded up

Classy coordinating pieces from @Aritzia #aritziapartner

• The full length pant pictured first is the Effortless Pant 00 Short in hummus beige . Inseam measures 28.5” with an 11” rise. High quality crepe fabric that drapes beautifully, waist is fitted on me with no gap.

• the shorter pant pictured is the Effortless Crop in matte pearl 00 regular. This particular color is - nice weight and not sheer.

At 5 feet tall I can do the crops in either regular or short. 00 regular crops measure 23.5” inseam and 11” rise

• Wilfred off the shoulder Nola sweater xxs - the sleeves were long on me so I folded them under.

• vest size 00, runs small and narrow at the bust. I am personally between the 0 and 00 in this piece- 0 is slightly looser while the 00 is very fitted on my chest. Would size up if you are above an A cup or between sizes to minimize pulling at the buttons.

• Arbus crop Blazer xxs, sleeves are long and folded under but the rest of the blazer fits well and is sharply tailored. Great length on petites.

• Demellier midi bag

Madewell spring pieces

• perfect vintage wide crop jeans 24P - my most worn Madewell denim style, so flattering with flats or a low heel.

See my recent LTK try on for how these same jeans in regular sizing can also work on petites as a full length jean!

I took my usual denim size 24 petite here and applied anti fray to the hems.

• stripe cardigan tank xs - I sized up after reading reviews to an XS here, but my usual size xxs would be better. Xs is a little loose on me at the shoulders and armhole, but this a nice classic knit if you get the right size. If you have a larger chest, tho, reviewers mentioned this style fits slim and would pull at the buttons

• Madewell cognac pebbled leather bag with crossbody strap

• Schutz sandals 5.5

I wanted to show how my favorite Perfect vintage wide-leg crop jeans fit on me in regular sizing instead of petite!

These are a 24 regular (not petite) - and are a full length on me instead of cropped, with a high rise on me (while their petites have a mid high rise on me)

Slightly loose at my waist, so for regular sizing I might size down. They also have a wash in regular called Fitzgerald that has finished hems instead of raw hems. Inseam on regular for this size is around 26.5 inches.

I’ve also linked the Abercrombie Harper crepe pants in short as a better quality non-sheer option, just note the Harper waist runs a size big (I do 23 Short) and their short is a little longer than the Amazon short length.
