Adrienne Vittadini ankle boots (old), Chanel wallet on chain
We were blessed this weekend with mild temperatures – while some locals reveled by dining al fresco (didn’t think it was that warm!), I took advantage and wore this to lunch with friends. Alas, it was short-lived and the weatherproof boots were back on for today’s storm.
This skirt is actually part of a summery 2-piece set (last posted here), but the twill material is nice and thick for cross-seasonal wear. To keep it from rubbing and riding up my tights, I added my trusty slip skirt.
Adrienne Vittadini booties have been my favorite. They’re comfortable and sturdily made with some traction on the soles. It’s a shame I’ve only ever seen residual sizes at Marshalls, sample sale and other discount sites – I have no idea where the brand normally distributes its collection! Here’s a mid-heel ankle boot by AV currently available in leather (or suede at half the price here), in sizes 6+.
A basic black turtleneck tee has been on my shopping list for months. I thought it would be the quickest item to check off, but wrangled with chokingly tight, giraffe-length (despite being folded), or pilling-prone variations before I found this one from H&M;. The thin jersey is soft and comfy, plus you can’t beat the price. An XS fit me well except the sleeves are a little too long, but can simply be scrunched up or hemmed.
It is such a cute skirt 🙂

I love the printed skirt! Also, I was on a long quest for a well fitting black turtleneck and finally found one at the bloomie's outlet.
Adorable

As someone who is also petite and also lives in Boston, I really appreciate this blog! I love the midi-skirts but feel as though I am too petite to pull them off. Do you have any tips or is this a trend for the non-petites?
love the coat and that skirt has so much personality thanks for sharing this awesome outfit! xx. gigi. http://www.gigikkitchen.com
You put this together so nicely! I especially love the twill skirt.
Hi Jean,
I was wondering about your chanel WOC, did you have the chain shortened? I have one too but find that the chain is too long to wear crossbody. I am 5ft tall also. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Julie
Hi Jean!
I love all your post! What camera do you use? Your photos are all great!
Hi Jean, I am about to start my career and want to purchase my very first luxury bag, do you have any suggestions?
Thank you
Jean, I love your blog!!! Your clothing color and texture pairings are amazing and you are extremely inspirational to someone like me, who is only starting to learn how to match clothes for work and such. Hope you will never stop posting! 🙂

Where did you get the peacoat from? I have been looking for a shorter one
Hi Jean, the Loft stripeT that you recormmend, it's online exclusive, and guess what the XXS petite dark blue stripe is out. I'm all about the size too since I am very petite. Please alert if you know this size is back . Thanks Jean
Hi Jean, when you say you got yours at Target kids department, which brand is it. Thanks Jean!
also Lord & Taylor
Adorable booties!! Love that bow!!
Jean – Adrienne Vittadini is sold at Macy's.
I'm a long time fan of your blog!
I love this color combination! I also like that you chose a skirt with a slightly larger print – I think often those of us who are smaller get warned away from choosing larger prints because they can be "too big for us."

obsessed with the bows on the back of those booties!!
Yes, those three places have affordable tights that have lasted me a while. If you need extra warmth, look for fleece-lined tights. I want to emphasize to buy sizes (ie S or S/M) rather than one size fits all at H&M; (the 'one size' at F21 aren't as bad). I made the mistake of doing so recently and there was about a foot of extra length. Kids opaque tights also work great length-wise – I have some from Target.
Hi there – I answered your same question that was asked in a previous post
Love your style!
I realized I have so many typos since I was in a hurry, but I guess you would understand what I mean.. =P
I asked the same question about a month ago and Jean recommended H&M;, F21 and Talbot. I went all tights crazy since then and bought all sorts of tights since then. I even bought some girls tights 10-12,14-16 from H&M;(though I haven't tried it yet). I am 4'11 and 90 pounds and so far the S (I don't there is a XS, anyways I'm talking about the smallest one) of H&M; and F21 fits me well. I haven't tried the Talbots one yet. Hope this helps. =)
I adore the bow detail on the booties! I love skater style skirts paired with tights during the winter time and you styled this so well with the red coat!

Really love your skirt, such a great print and it looks so flattering!
Hi Jean what kind of tights do you wear? I've been looking for a great warm pair that fits on petites without being too long in the leg or waist. I'm 4'10, 82 pounds. Thanks!
So cute!!!
ADORABLE ! 🙂

I noticed that you usually wear Fall-looking coats. Do you own any winter coats, and by winter coats, I mean those bubble-looking ones?
Love the bow detail on the booties!
Adorbs, especially love the bow detail on the bootie.
