In FASHION

Shop this look:

You guys already know I was totally on board when I found out Express was jumping on the petites train! This month, Express launched a brand new petite collection on their website that caters to women who are 5’4″ and under – saving us short girls lots of $$$ on alterations, awkward jean cuffing, sleeve rolling, and frustrating moments in the dressing room. Finally! I’ve always loved Express because of their many options for professional attire AND great selection of fancier pieces for events/holidays – so I’m so excited now that they’re offering items in petite sizing!

Today I’m sharing the first of two looks I styled from their new collection. These petite pieces are only available online – so you can shop them all right here. This season is kind of awkward when it comes to buying clothes because it’s still freezing, but technically only a couple months away from spring, so it’s hard to justify buying new outerwear. A trench coat is the perfect outerwear for this season – so I was so excited to see this petite option in their collection – it’s flattering, feminine, a classic piece that you can wear all throughout winter and spring. It was the first time in a long time I slipped a coat on that actually fit in my shoulders and throughout the bodice and didn’t go past my knees (also comes in black!).

I paired the trench with this adorable off-the-shoulder ruffle bodysuit and tucked it into petite dark wash high-waisted jean leggings. This cute little ‘neckerchief‘ added the perfect pop of pattern to the outfit – I’m loving that this trend is being brought back! I’m gonna have to go looking through Nani’s closet for more of these! And these velvet & fringe heels are my new favorite pair in my closet.

Thank you to Express for sponsoring this post. All ideas and opinions are my own!

    I love this post! I am 5’4″ so I am right on the bubble of “petite”. I have always loved express but I might love them even more now! I love how you styled these outfits. Especially that CUTE scarf!!! And I have such a hard time finding a good pair of GOOD fitting high waisted leggings. I have one pair that are so baggy in the waist but fit everywhere else. LOL!

    Such a cute post!

    Happy Friday! <3
