Hi Petites!

Bright colors, sporty dresses, and leather. These are just a few of the current trends for Spring. Need some advice on how to wear them without going overboard? Here’s a breakdown for you with some petite friendly options. Enjoy!

• Bright Colors

Bright colors are everywhere right now. Even if you’re not a huge fan of bright colors or don’t feel like you can pull it off, try adding a bright color to your outfit through an accessory to give your outfit that bright pop of color without overdoing it.

Go bold with the “Beth Romper” from Gambita (find here)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tone it down by just adding a pop of color with the Double U Tank in Coral paired with the Tulip Skirt in black from Gambita (find here)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

• Sporty Dresses

Sporty dresses are great. They’re fun and flirty but comfortable and versatile. Dress them up with a sexy heel or dress them down with a pair of fun flats or sandals.

• Fold Over Clutches

The first time I saw a fold over clutch this season was on petite celebrity, Victoria Beckham. I love the idea, I’m just not sold on how comfortable it is to carry a clutch around all day. What do you think of fold over clutches for the day?

• Black and White

Black and white: so classic, but so trendy this season. Try color blocking with black on the bottom, white on top and add a pop of color with a statement necklace, bracelet, or watch.

Halogen Blazer, Polka Dot Skirt, and Tee (find complete outfit here)

 

• Leather

Leather for Spring? Might sound strange but trust me it’s out there! Try a cute leather peplum tank or go with something more subtle by wearing a piece with small leather accents like these options below.

Hi Petites!

So after staring at my closet for what seemed like an eternity yesterday morning I decided to try a little something I hadn’t tried before – denim on denim. Why not? Maybe I felt like breaking some rules or maybe it’s just that everything else was just hiding in the massive laundry pile that still wont wash itself – either way I actually liked it.

What do you think of denim on denim?

This week I celebrated the big two seven – yikes.

My husbands birthday is just a couple days before mine so we turned this past weekend our “birthday weekend”. We took a wonderful little road trip to the beautiful, extremely warm (103 degree) little Bavarian town of Leavenworth to celebrate. Somewhere between lunch and the beer garden I stumbled into this adorable boutique and  fell in love with this lace dress by Everly. The sales lady said they had just came in that day so luckily they had a small available and it fit perfectly.

Everly is a young contemporary clothing line that blends the simplicity of the modern girl with a hint of vintage. It was created by two sisters who combined their love for fabric and fashion into a beautiful collection of dresses, tops and bottoms.

So before heading to dinner the other night my loving husband/new found photographer snapped a couple photos of me wearing the dress (below). Check out Everly clothing here and the boutique I visited in Leavenworth here.
