I wore this to work on Monday, which already feels like a distant memory with snow back on the ground. Spring in Boston…why such a tease? Anyhow, this is another outfit that combines old favorites plus one of my go-to color pairings. I kept the rest of my look neutral, finishing with pumps that provide plenty of leg-lengthening action despite having a low, manageable heel.
I first learned about Sole Society through Cee’s many posts remixing their shoes and handbag. I remember being surprised at genuine leather for the price points, but Cee keeps a very edited closet so I trust her opinions on quality. I was happy to see that the brand offers shoes down to a sz 5, plus has cute jewelry and scarves to boot. Short legs be damned, I’m a sucker for ankle-strap heels and was drawn right in to this pointy-toe style. Color proved to be a tough decision…the cobalt blue and deep red are classic statement colors, the coral shouts spring, and the other shades serve as versatile neutrals. I went with “adobe” as a safe bet, but the ruby was a close second.
Fit wise, please note that the front part runs narrow as many reviewers have pointed out. I usually take either a 5 or 5.5, and went up to the latter accordingly. The length and width (noticeably narrow, similar to the fit of Ferragamo shoes) ended up being perfect, and the straps adjust to fit without extra holes needed. Not all of Sole Society shoes come in genuine leather/suede, but these are and feel quite good for the price. Shipping is free at any price, and return shipping per item is either $7.95 for a refund, or free for store credit. This post was in collaboration with Sole Society. Here are my other picks, including several work-appropriate styles in extended sizing. My favorite are the leopard haircalf pumps, but please note from reviews that they seem to run small (could be good news for ladies who need sub-sz 5!).

You look beautiful Jean, what a pretty dress. FYI, the Anthropologie at Legacy Place in Dedham now has a petite section.
what size are your shoes?
It's something like a prom, I mean there will be older people, something more formal, like a gala. I was thinking at a floor lenght one. I never had the courage to wear one, that's why I'm asking for your opinion, it means a lot to me!
Certainly not for client meetings…but I have to say my group's dress code is pretty lax during office days : )
Thank you Graciela! My boyfriend takes my outdoor photos.
Hi there – what is the occasion? ie. how formal, cocktail, black tie ? Or are you just looking for one to keep in your closet for various occasions? And is long to you = at the knee or floor length? Let me know some more details and I can help.
oh! i just to know your blog and i love it. I´m petite also, well i thinks so cause i´m 5.4 and S sized so is great to have a place like this. Here in Spain, there is no brands with a petit clothes 🙁
Thanks
I was struck with the skirt at first glance so beautiful, how you paired them is perfect…thanks
Hey Jean,
I am a petite also and I'm looking for a evening dress but I'm not sure which lenght to go for, a long or a short one? I think that a long dress is more classy but glamorous in the same time but would it make me look shorter? Could you please help me, maybe give me some suggestions?
Thank you!
Jean: as usual, beautiful pairings! You truly review items and give plenty of details and options, great job. Beautiful pictures too, who does your photography?
Very cute ! 🙂

I think I just grab the last 5.5 : D My feet cannot do 4 inch pumps anymore. Am looking forward to these.
i love the outfit jean! not really feeling the shoes though. i think it might be the color and material. they remind me a lot of your pour la victoire heels that i remember nick said looked like feet 🙂
Super cute outfit. I think in this case the ankle straps work b/c it's a nude color. I too love ankle straps but also have the problem of being too short, so I feel your pain 😉
Cute blouse…looking for one too but not in black…
Such a cute work outfit. I've been meaning to try Sole Society shoes, this definitely gives me more incentive!
