Heather grey matching scuba set. Henley top in XS is an oversized fit. I took the pants in XS short. I’m 5’ 2.5” and 115-116 pounds.

I linked to another pullover style top I ordered to match the pants and size XS is a relaxed fit.

Note the off white color pants is see through so heather grey color was the winner.

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.

So glad I found this polo dress in store! I sized up for a relaxed fit. I took size S and I'm 5' 2.5" and currently 117 pounds. The material has a nice drape to it.

I wore a half slip to prevent panty lines from being seen.

#LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKPetite #LTKOver40

I took this white dress in size S. I'm currently 117 pounds. I'm 5' 2.5" so it's a modest length on me above the knees.

The torso is longer but it looks cute with the material folder over to hide some of the stretchy waistband.

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!

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.

My exact mesh sneakers are true to size and linked. I just tied the shoe laces into bows using a viral reel I found on Instagram. I have washed them multiple times in the machine if they get dirty.

For size reference I'm 5' 2.5" and currently 118-120 pounds.

Update: The material pills but you can use a sweater shaver to remove the pills.

I love the puffy heart detail on this pullover! My usual girls size XL (12-14)* is a relaxed fit that hits me mid hip. I also ordered XXL (15-16) for comparison and it was tunic length for more rear coverage.

*Girls size XL (12-14) is similar in fit and width to a Lululemon waffleknit pullover that I have in size 4 for a relaxed fit.

Bag is a Toteme inspired ~$50 bag from Walmart (now sold out). It's way better than the Amazon ones I ordered but had to return.

Fitting room review

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.

#LTKOver40

Splurged on this waffle knit top from Lululemon. It's so warm and cozy. Sleeves are longer but I don't mind since I have longer arms than most petites. I took size 4 for a relaxed fit.

Note: The funnelneck is more tight but I was able to put on the top although I removed my earrings first when I took the top off. If you wear makeup you would want to put on the top before you put on makeup. And remove your makeup before you take off the top to avoid makeup transfer. Luckily I stopped wearing makeup and only fill in my brows.

Heattech leggings in kids 11-12 since size 13 was too loose. I have 6 pairs since I live in them during the winter. I also linked to thick fleece lined leggings from Old Navy which I have in XS petite.

I'm 5' 2.5" and 115 pounds.

#LTKActive #LTKOver40

These mini $19.90 sling bags are new at Uniqlo and a great gift for anyone! Hubby likes the black color of course. Perfect for every day or travel, biking and being hands free, etc. It's the size of a mini backpack.

#LTKTravel #LTKGiftGuide #LTKFindsUnder50

Update 12/14/24: Girl's sizd 14 fit me but I didn't love the overall length. Size 16 was a better length but too boxy to be flattering. The material also looks like it's prone to pilling.

This girls coat is so cute with the simple bow details at the pockets. Available in 3 colors. I have previous year's version in size 14. I just ordered the camel and grey colors to try.

#LTKSaleAlert #LTKGiftGuide #LTKHoliday

Just ordered this pebbled leather backpack now that it's 50% off. Discount automatically applied at checkout.

I took my usual size 4 at Lululemon. This shirt has a lovely drape and relaxed fit. The fabric for the grey color has laundered well in the cold wash cycle and air dried.

Uniqlo ultra warm heattech legging in kids size 11-12. I'm usually size 13 kids at Uniqlo but the leggings ran big so I sized down. They're my go-to cold weather leggings.

#LTKFindsUnder100 #LTKOver40 #LTKActive

This top is $81 if you use code CANDY at Revolve. Was $128. I love the flecks on this Varley Okadale Sweat. Size XS is a relaxed fit on me. I'm 115 pounds and 5' 2.5".

Uniqlo Heattech leggings in kids size 11-12 since size 13 ran big. They're my go-to cold weather leggings.

Soft striped pullover. I tried size S which is a relaxed fit before the store closed last night. I wish I tried XS for comparison. I'm petite so the length of size S covers my rear. I'm 5' 2.5" and 115 pounds.

Heattech ultra warm leggings in kids size 11-12.

I finally had a reason to dress for work (lunch with my boss a d coworkers today)! These ponte wide leg pants are on sale for under $50. They're so flattering and slimming and I love the stretchy pull-on waistband. I took size small petite. I'm 5' 2.5 and 115 pounds and the inseam is perfect with flats.

My exact lace trim shell is 3 years old but I found one on Poshmark.

My exact slub knit cardigan is also 3 years old and linked for referemce although it's not for sale since it's an old item. If you can find it second hand it's a flattering piece.

Mesh flats with rhinestone details are true to size and available in other colors.

Loose curls/waves using the cordless Conair Unbound.

This trench coat is now on sale for $99.90. It has a relaxed fit (note: I have a vest on underneath). I would need size XXS (unfortunately sold out) since XS is very loose and boxy on me. The black color is prone to showing lint. Available in khaki, dark green and black.

I'm 5' 2.5" and 115 pounds.
