My husband has this Lululemon Big Cozy sweatshirt and I wanted to twin with him but it’s way too big. Trying size XXS but it’s so oversized that it’s laughable. I’m 5’ 2.5” and 115-116 pounds.

Love this lightweight comfy cowl neck top! I took size XS petite which is a relaxed fit. I recently got it in black too!

Ultra warm Heattech leggings in kids size 11-12 fits like XS petite.

My husband’s all grey outfit is from Uniqlo. Each item is under $50. He’s 5’ 11” and 205 pounds. He took the jacket, hoodie and pants in size XL.

Sherpa Jacket with fleece lining. I took size XS which is an oversized fit. (I shared the wrong size last week.) I love this light grey color and it’s also available in other colors. I’m 5’ 2.5” and 115-116 pounds.

Quince double-faced merino wool scarf coat in size XS. It's an oversized fit so I wish they offered size XXS. However, I still love how it looks. Note that I'm wearing an oversized sherpa pullover underneath it. This is a thin coat better suited to fall or climates with warmer winter temperatures. Today was 50 degrees so I finally wore it out.

I'm 5' 2.5" and 118 pounds.

I’ve had this AI mini ventless dryer for almost a year and it’s helpful to help dry smaller loads of laundry. The cost of shared laundry in my building keeps going up every year and we’re not allowed in unit washers.

I have it on my kitchen countertop and it takes up almost 2ft x 2ft of counter space.

If you don’t over stuff the dryer the items should be dry in an hour or less. Towels are thicker and would take longer but I mostly use it for sock, underwear, bras and light shirts.

It’s one of my favorite purchases this year and worth the small investment. I’m also linking to my favorite folding drying rack that holds a lot.

I don't wear makeup except for some color corrector for redness but I always fill in my eyebrows because they're so light they look non-existent.

Leave a comment if you have a favorite brow product to share. I prefer light touch versus a heavy/strong brow.

Loose curls using the @conair Unbound. I've ordered and tried countless hair curling tools this past year but the Conair Unbound is the easiest to use to style my hair in under 10 minutes. I have fine, thin hair that is not color treated yet so I prefer to use 320 degrees (lowest heat setting). I also start letting go of each curl at 4 seconds - 2 seconds shorter than the shortest default time of 6 seconds.

Loft eyelet top is size XXS regular

Let me know if you have any questions!

Reviewing these Paige Anessa petite wide leg jeans (I took size 26 petite) compared to the Quince Bella Stretch wide leg jeans on www.whatjesswore.com. Measurements in this blog post: https://www.whatjesswore.com/2025/10/paige-anessa-petite-29-wide-leg-jeans-vs-quince-bella-stretch-wide-leg-jeans.html

They’re $79.99 via T.J. Maxx (compared to $249 full retail).

Cropped Free People sweater ($39.99 via T.J. Maxx) in size S.

New Balance sneakers run small. I usually wear size US 6.5 in sneakers but I took these in size US 7.

Quince $50 jeans on size 25 x 28” inseam. I’m 5’ 2.5” so I felt the inseam was a little short. I wonder if I could pull off the 30” inseam. Also linking to a $79.99 Paige Anesssa petite jean I ordered via TJ Maxx which I had to reorder in a size up.

Cropped tee in size S is 17" total length which is the perfect petite friendly length. I also have it in white if you check my other LTK posts and I just ordered it in navy.

J.Crew white jeans in size 26 regular are ankle length on me. Note that the ecru color runs really big so I only kept the white color.

Nude sandals run 1/2 size bigger so I took 6.5 instead of my usual size 7.

Comfy house tee with a loose baby doll fit. Longer length perfect with leggings and longer half sleeves too! Size S is loose but perfect to wear around home. I’m 5’ 2.5” and 115-116 pounds.

I just ordered another one in grey since it’s on sale.

Love this designer inspired bucket bag under $100 (color: brown), cozy fleece lined sherpa pullover (wearing XXS) and wrinkle-free ankle pants (wearing size XS).

I am using the white sofa cover on the 86-120" size since this is a large sofa. It's a true white color and the fabric has washed well dried on low heat. I've had the covers since November 2024. I actually got a second cover in the smaller size to refresh our living room since our off-white leather sofas (sofa and loveseat) are old from Macy's 2011/2012.

The sofa covers come in many colors and they include small cardboard tucks. I also bought separate non-slip tucks that work well for our sofa as long as you tuck them deep into the seat.

Meet our new pupppy, Seamus! He's 5 months old and he's the half nephew of Ralphie. He's wearing this adorable bow tie whale print dog collar in size S. He recently got his rabies tag and registered tag for our town so he's finally offical and looking so grown up!

Shih Tzu puppy

The cutest dog sweater! Ralphie is now 11 pounds (he used to be 16 pounds but he's been battling Chronic Kidney Disease for 3 years) and fits size L. He's a male Shih Tzu.

I love these disposable dog booties that stay on. Ralphie is a 14 pound Shih Tzu and he wears size M. Available in multiple colors as a pack of 48. We can usually get a few walks out of each pair before he wears them out since he likes to kick his back paws after peeing. Tip: You can wash the stretchy bands if they get dirty. I prefer the stretchy bands to the 2 rolls of gauze bands which they also include per box. If you carefully remove the bands they will last longer.

Love a good "house dress" to sleep and lounge around in. This one is so good (pockets) I got 2! I took kids XXL and it's super stretchy so it should fit up to size 4. I'm 5' 2.5" and 115 pounds.

Love these under $60 comfy and stylish sneakers that look designer. They run true to size for me.

#LTKOver40

Love this versatile sneaker with my summer outfits. I took my usual size 7 but it may run 1/2 size bigger for some or possibly a full size bigger if you have narrow feet.

Shades of ecru. I love the texture of these ecru sandals. I went down half a size and they fit just like the nude color I got from DSW.

I used my Cuyana x ThredUP credits to get this Cuyana double loop bag. I wanted to cappucino color but it's currently out of stock.

Sharing 2 JW Pei bag styles. Which bag do you like? The first one (Sharon crossbody) can be worn as a shoulder bag and crossbody bag and looks similar to a Polene bag. The Hana bag looks like a little dumpling. Both bags are under $100.

Cropped sweater in size XS.

Jeans in size 26 (cropped length is petite friendly).

This is another JW Pei mini bag that I ordered in the off white color. The vegan leather is soft and it looks well made. The style is similar to a high end designer bag (Hermes mini Kelly) and it's under $100.

The white has a grey cast to it so I wish it was a true white. It's also available in more colors and in a larger size. The bag comes with a removable and adjustable crossbody bag.

It doesn't fit as much as the other black bag I just posted but if you're a minimalist then that may not be an issue.

Nordstrom carries some JW Pei styles like this mini Elise bag so I linked to them as well.

Extra warm layers now that it's really cold out. Available in womens and kids sizing.

I took kids 13 in the top and kids 11-12 in the bottom leggings. The leggings are so toasty and feel like a warm hug. **Make sure you get the HEATTECH leggings labelled "Ultra Warm".

I'm 5' 2.5" and 110 pounds.

#LTKover40 #LTKSeasonal #LTKfindsunder50

$14.90 on promotion through Thursday 12/7. I love how soft these Heattech winter leggings are. They feel like a warm hug. Soft and well made. Sizing runs larger and the inseam is petite friendly. I'm usually kids size 13 but kids 11-12 fits me well. I'm 5' 2.5" and currently 110 pounds.

I also have the matching long sleeve top in kids size 13 in black and cream which is a loose relaxed fit.

Cozy gift idea

#LTKGiftGuide #LTKsalealert #LTKover40

Love this $16.99 top which cinches on both sides. I bought size S in store which was loose so I just ordered size XS now that I found the same top online.
