Many days I am in an outfit such as this, running around my neighborhood, picking up kids, and doing errands. The tank and cropped pants are from Target (a great resource for basics…even petites online with free shipping with a $50.00 purchase). I like (don’t love) this long boyfriend sweater from Banana Republic. I got it in a size petite medium and it really doesn’t do what I want it to do. I’d like to be able to button it up all the way and wear it with just leggings, but it is way too snug and unflattering. So, every once in a while I grab this to wear, but I envisioned this working differently in my wardrobe. It is just barely hanging on before I consign it. It better watch out!!
The brown leather belt is from Ann Taylor Loft and the shoes are a few seasons old Ann Taylor (although something similar was offered this year). The belt helps to break up the line and keep my top and bottom half in better proportion. Some feel that petites should not wear Capri/cropped pants. I feel very comfortable in them, but tend to wear them just at ankle length or slightly above.
Anything higher does cut a shorter woman up and can make us look boxy and short. Because I feel cropped jeans work so well on me and my lifestyle, I have several pairs. I tend to buy things that I know are work horses in my wardrobe, so I have more to wear during the week and don’t have to do laundry as much!!
