Petite-Friendly Top That Runs Big | Size Down One

If you’re thinking about grabbing this top, my biggest tip is to size down one size for the best fit. It has a relaxed, oversized fit, so going down gives it a more flattering look while still feeling comfortable.

I love styling it with denim shorts now and jeans later for an easy summer-to-fall transition. It’s a versatile staple that can be dressed up with wedges or kept casual with sneakers or sandals.

How to Get the Perfect Face-Framing Curls

How to Get the Perfect Face-Framing Curls on Short Hair

If your face-framing pieces never seem to fall quite right, this simple curling technique makes all the difference. I use a small curling iron, set each curl with clips while it cools, then finish with a lightweight texture spray for soft movement and lasting volume.

I’m linking everything I used, including my favorite texture spray, curling iron, heat-resistant carbon comb, clips, denim skirt, and Old Navy tank top.

Oily skin + brow pencil problems? Here’s my fix
If you have oily skin, you know the struggle… your brow pencil looks great in the morning and then starts disappearing by lunchtime. 🙃

This is the combo that has been working for me:
✨ NYX Brow Pencil to define and fill
✨ NYX Brow Glue to lock everything in place
✨ Both spoolies for shaping, blending, and getting that fluffy lifted brow look

I love a natural brow, but I need something that can hold up throughout the day. 🤍

My everyday hair essentials ✨ These are the two products I reach for when styling my fine textured hair. K18 AirWash HeatBounce helps protect my hair before heat styling, and NAVY Hair Care Texture Spray gives my hair the volume and texture I’m always looking for.

Also sharing this easy summer outfit because this Old Navy tank and jean skirt are both true to size and so easy to wear.

Rust is one of my favorite colors for late summer and early fall. 🤎 This Walmart dress is such an easy piece to dress up or down.

I sized up to a small because I have hips, and I’m glad I did. If you’re curvier through the hips, I’d recommend sizing up too for a more comfortable fit.

I styled it with my Kate Spade bag, neutral wedge sandals, and of course, an iced coffee because that’s the perfect accessory. ☕️

If you’re looking for an affordable Walmart dress, wedding guest outfit, brunch outfit, or an easy transition to fall outfit, this one is definitely worth adding to your cart.

Paired with my favorite Levi’s 720 jeans, a taupe Kate Spade handbag, and a brown leather belt with gold accents for an easy, classic look. If you’re petite like me (5’0”), you’ll likely want to hem the jeans or leave them with a trendy raw hem.
