EXPRESS for the Petite Babe

Clothes for the Petite Babe_

I am getting all the winter feels right now, especially with all my new winter clothes!

I did DAMAGE at Express a few weeks ago and I got so many fun pieces ON.THE.CHEAP.

I got this super cute cold shoulder long sleeve top even though it’s freezing in Boston (20 degrees today).

I am V into it!

I know I have talked about Express leggings quite a bit, but hey, when you find a good product you stick with it!

I got my second pair of standard black leggings, a pair of red leggings with cut outs on the bottom and a pair of cotton grey ones.

The cotton ones are def one of my favorite pairs. They remind me of a combination of sweat pants and leggings.

Foldover Brushed Leggings

Honestly, if I was able to get away with wearing sweatpants on the reg….well, you would never see me change.

I was on a major sweater hunt since I don’t really own any….

When I moved to San Diego a few years back I re-did my whole wardrobe, getting rid of all my chunky knit sweaters and over-sized jackets.

Needless to say, that was a big mistake. Fast forward 3 years and a move back to Boston, I have been left shivering.

Sometimes I feel like shopping is such a process, you know?

Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE getting new clothes. There is something about new clothes that has your chest puffed up a little higher and an ear to ear grin. It’s just the “finding stuff” part that sucks. 

New clothes give me an unspoken confidence, plus its nice not have the same outfit on in several pictures in a row.

It got to a point this summer that every picture I was tagged in on Facebook I was wearing this long, blue, boho style dress.

Legit. Every picture was the same, and yes, all the pictures were taken different days.

I am not saying not to outfit –repeat…..I mean, who can afford to do that realistically? All I want to diversify my looks. So, when I went to Express I was on a mission to find a few different sweaters that I could pair nicely with a pair of new jeans and several leggings that I wear on rotation.

LEGGINGS ARE LIFE.

The other thing I love about Express, besides being affordable, is that they carry petite sizes!

I am so sick of hearing that I am “so lucky” to be “petite.”

Listen up people. It is SO hard to shop for adult style clothes when you are 5ft.

I often end up shopping in the juniors section most of the time. I am 29 and would like to dress my age. Fashionable, but looking like a 29 year old.

You can buy jeans in ‘short’ at Express and they carry XS sizes of shirts and sweaters.

I got a pair of the skinny grey jeans, and they fit perfectly around the ankle and no hemming was necessary! Not to mention they look great with a pair of cute booties.

Thank you Express!

So I just get a haul in of Kourtney Kardashian’s new line, Pretty Little Things, which I am obsessed with!!

I will be sharing my thoughts on the line in a few weeks.

That’s all for now.

You got some good stuff! I’m nowhere near petite (I’m 5’9), but I can still appreciate a great pair of leggings with cute sweaters!

I haven’t wore a knitted in jumper in years… I am not a fan of heavy jumpers, I usually just wear a tshirt and a coat on top. But then again, where I live is not that cold. It’s great that you have found a shop where they do your size.

It is so important to find a place that fits the size needs. I always need longs and talls, and I can’t find them anywhere!

I’m 30 and I love leggings. They’re my favorite thing to lounge around in in the house. These ones look fantastic!

I definitely feel your pain on having a hard time shopping for clothes your size. I’m just an inch taller than you and I obviously haven’t grown into my adult body yet because I can’t fit into women’s clothes. I fear I’m always going to have to buy from the juniors department. Great article!

So many lovely pieces! I love leggings as well, but as a “chunkier” girl, I have to be careful about how I wear them! The Express leggings look so well made; I’m excited to try a pair. I also love that cold shoulder sweater!

I am so glad to see that there are more and more shops introducing petite, tall and curve (plus sizes) lines. This is definitely the way forward! I absolutely love your picks so cute and cosy! Perfect weekend wear.

Awesome collection of sweaters which you can pair with your skinny jeans. I love cold because I can wear any coat over my every day top and no one will notice that I am wearing my old top.

These are all such cute pieces. Express has some amazing deals especially during the holiday season. I scored some party dresses for under $50! Leggings are a must for cold temps and just to lounge around. Love these pair! Thanks for sharing your finds! Xoxo, Christine
