This month’s Petite Fashion Challenge is hosted by the adorable Jess of Stylepint. Her challenge:
“Dress Up Your Basics: Jeans and a tee is a classic outfit starter…for this challenge, start off with a jeans and tee basic look and dress it up to show off your personal style.”
I try to follow a 3-step rule when assembling an outfit. Before, I typically overlooked steps 2 and 3, but have come to realize that the extra bit effort goes a long way in adding dimension to an outfit.
To start off, “tee” doesn’t necessarily mean a plain Hanes Her Way 3-pack white tee shirt. I try to buy tees with little interesting details or a unique fit. The shirt below from H&M; has small perforated details, cuffed sleeves, a slouchy fit, and is just $12.95.
My second outfit is the classic and easy-peasy blazer over jeans look, perfect for “casual Fridays” at work. Instead of a necklace, an oversized silky scarf is an appropriate accessory. I fell in love with this scarf after seeing it on the lovely Cee of To Brighten my Day. Thank you Cee for sharing the seller info!
Accessorizing is my weakness, but I’ve been sticking to my goal of at least one mandatory accessory a day, be it a belt, necklace, scarf, or brooch. Slowly and surely, I hope it will become second nature.
Please visit Stylepint’s post to see all the other ladies’ outfits for this Petite Fashion Challenge!
Isn't the LV 25? not 35??
ENCORE encore – we so need to see more….
thanks for the reply!
Just one more thing, do you own a Chanel Classic Jumbo bag? Would you say that it is too big for us? I am 5', and 95 pounds…
what size is the bag you are wearing now?
I want an everyday bag that can carry all my essentials (wallet, phone, agenda ,small cosmetic bag), hand cream,sunglasses with case, lip glosses, womanly products… etc etc…thank you!
Hi! Love your blog.
When you include links in your blog – make it open in a new tab or new window automatically. Keep us on your blog cuz we love it!
I would like the first pair of shoes, please and thank you! I like your belted scarf look!
Check out my try at the PFC #6!
I love the second outfit with the scarf! The scarf is beautiful but its not available anymore. I've never tried wearing my scarves that way and I saw a couple of other bloggers wearing it with a belt too, going to try it sometime!

You have really great work on fashion, I have also some collection on the spring fashion I hope you like it
Wow! This is sooo helpful! I love how your pictures are straight to the point, no words needed. Thanks for the ideas… I will be trying this for sure.
All the outfits are super cute by the way!
Love them both! That vest is adorable and the step 1.2.3. in pictures is so clever!
Thank you so much everyone for stopping by and leaving a note : )
@Adrianne I haven't yet…thank you for sharing! And yes I have just started a meager little collection of chunky necklaces. I love them, but it's hard to find cheap ones that don't look too cheap, and are made of decent enough materials so that they don't quickly oxidize or irritate your skin.
@Katherine Hi Katherine, no these are the Gap jeans loved by many petites…the petite length is perfect for me with just the right amount of scrunch at the bottom! No hemming needed!
@Petite Mom Lol! I swear, if I'm holding something and another woman shows interest in it and asks to find it…I definitely feel that much more confident making that purchase : )
@CynthiaC I just tried it hehe…didn't work out.
@Cee Cee, you are the definite trendsetter here. Aubs and I jumped on that scarf the second you provided the seller info! It's such a good find…ebay is so vast I seriously get tired just searching for thing to buy.
@Stefanie Hi Stefanie – the tag says "brown" but I'd say it's more of a gray taupe in person!
@Olyvia Lol! Thank you Olyvia, but if you delve into my earlier posts you will definitely see what I mean : )
@Anonymous Unfortunately no…once I buy something and I see that it's good quality, the seller either disappears or they have no more of that item. The pearls I've been buying are definitely hit or miss in quality! First purchase was great but the second ones were very blemished. As for the cameo, just search "peri cameo" in ebay.
@samanthaloves Thank you, Samantha : ) It's complicated for many of us because it's still cold outside, but you want to incorporate Spring colors and details.
@Tina LOL! 4! Okay I just went and browsed their store and the prices are seriously low…i'm considering a yellow one now. We have to thank Cee for this great seller find!
@N Thank you, N – it's 08Autumn : )
LOVE the final photo! Great job with the challenge! Hopefully I'll get my butt up and running and be able to participate in these again!
ps-love the Chanel flap! What season is it?
That scarf is beautiful, it's very Hermes. My sister and I (both very petite) just started a blog. We're a long way off, but your blog is a big inspiration.
