Kids clothes for petite women

So, there seems to be a trend with petite women wearing kids clothes and I have to say I am very tempted.  When you have short legs like me or a size 5.5 feet then finding clothes that fit right are a challenge.  Everything has to either be tailored or passed up on because it doesn't fit correctly.  Not only that but kids clothes are cheaper than adult clothes.  Now, I'm not talking about clothes from places like Justice or even Gymboree.  I'm talking about clothes from Crewcuts or Zara Kids.  My current obssession has been with Zara Kids.  Their stuff is so cute and not just for EV but for myself as well!

Who would even believe that these are kids shoes:

I'm contemplating buying EV the coral pair and myself one of the animal print. 

 

My understanding is sometimes the rise or hips are not the best fitting for adult women, but depending on the cut pants, jackets, and shoes can be good (and affordable) options.

 

Does anyone else incorporate kids clothes into their wardrobe?



Maxi Dresses

Everyone who knows me know that I will choose comfort over style. I love how so many stores are providing more than one version of maxi dresses! Even last year I had a hard time finding a maxi dress that was not too long, too tight, or a maxi that made you kinda look preggos.

I am happy to announce I was able to find an affordable maxi dress that fit! 

Wow, I know. I was so excited that I even told my friend during dinner tonight. My husband told me in the car that I went a little overboard.  

If you are reading this my friend, sorry you had to listen to me for 20 minutes about clothes!

By the way, H&M is having their mid-season sale. Additional 50% off their sale items.

Tonight Chris and I are eating korean bbq and I had to dress accordingly. 

I quickly changed into leggings and a loose fitted top so my stomach can get big and full without feeling restricted.

I also walked a lap around my neighborhood so I wouldn't feel guilty eating so much tonight.

Hope everyone else has a good weekend!

Chambray, florals, and lace

This has to be one of my favorite outfits this season. It is a mix between dressed up and casual. I am comfortable, I feel feminine, and I look put together. I love how the skirt and top alone has so much details that I don't have to add much more to the outfit. A touch of pearls, yellow wedges, and a little belt was all I added but I could have gotten away with just the shoes. I have to say, when I bought this lace skirt earlier this year, I wasn't sure how much use I would get out of it but I have worn it so much. It's pretty and versatile. The top and the belt are recent purchases. I got the top from old navy; it was on sale for $19 and got an additional 25% off online. Plus, if you have an old navy/gap/banana republic card you get free shipping on Tues. Oh, and don't forget your reward points. The belt was a similar deal from JCrew. It was on sale for $19 and an additional 30% off. I had a gift card I received from my credit card rewards program.

So, if you like the feminine look, there is no excuse this season. It's everywhere!!

Floral Top

Since Sister Kim wore floral jeans yesterday, I wanted to wear florals as well! Like Sister Kim said, florals are in this spring and honestly I don't have too many pieces that are floral. I re-discovered this blouse that I haven't worn for almost 2 years. It was actually gonna go to Goodwill, but my inner voice told me to keep it and I'm glad I did. 

I hope I don't go too crazy with buying floral prints this spring. 

By the way, I really wanted to do my hair ombre, but my natural hair is growing out (really slow) and it kinda looks ombre now. The awkward phase passed and now I have my ghetto ombre, but I kind of like it. :)

Floral jeans

My sister and I are loving the trends for this spring. It's so feminine and chic. The pastels, the florals, the lace, and the eyelets. Love, love, love!! Here are my first pair of floral jeans and I love them! They are from Old Navy. I paired it with a simple, rose colored top with white and gold accessories.
