Our JCPenny is a small section for Petite and very pog laus about the size of my master bedroom or even smaller. Only store left to check out if Lane Bryant and NY & CO but I already know its too big so I'm not bothering with it and hopefully I can find some time this weekend to go shopping out of town or even to the outlet. PH really got me hook up that I must do a little shopping to have a few pieces of wardrobe these day.
It is a big draw back because you expect petite to be smaller size than regular women size but sometime they are bigger depending on brand and store. I don't really like Juniors clothing because that what my daughter is already wearing unless there is a few pant or top that can look more like business like then I don't mind.Maybe afternoon when I drop off my son at preschool I will drive straight to Fashion Bug to see what they have because Lavendar seen to wear a few pieces from there and since its the same shopping complex as Marshalls then I'll check it too.
Petite girls has a hard time when it come to shopping for clothes. The clothes are either too big or too pog laus. When you do find a item of clothes that does fit it's expensive.
So when I find it on sale or on clearance... I buy multiples... lolz!
Omg! I've been so busy to keep up with the sales! Ok ok... I'm going to the mall tonight! Thanks for letting us know Reload!
SB, don't go to Lane Bryant. Lane will be way too big for you. NY&Co also runs big. You might find some nice cardigan in XS but it might still be big depending on style. I am a Small in NY&Co and I am not small! But NY&Co sometimes have some decent stuff so it's worth checking out but just know that they do run a little big in size. Do you have Gap Kids in your mall? Regular Gap runs very big (again I am a small in their sizing). But if you have Gap Kids, it's worth checking it out. I know a lot of petite bloggers have lucks with finding some great pieces at Gap Kids.
BCBG is gorgeous but way too pricey for me. I don't think I have the patience to search ebay. LOL... But then I've never come across anything I really really want enough to search for it on ebay. Maybe I need to utilize it more?I'm like you LL, when I see something and it fits me well...I tend to buy multiple colors, etc.. This usually happens with jeans only though. Last month I bought 4 pairs of the same jeans in diferent colors! LOL! Red, white, dark blue, light blue!
Now everyone is recommending kiddie clothes. I love Gap for their sweater which I have plenty. Our store directory if you look at it we got no good stores which is why I don't really care about stepping foot inside the mall. I may go like 1-2 x a year but stand around looking dumb or sit outside while my daughter get what she came for at Aeropostale and go home and never look around at other store. I actually like to dig outlet center better but most location are almost 1 1/2 hour drive away.
Ok, nothing spectacular... just plain jane today.Pants & top from GapGray/white cardigan from TargetBeige sandals from Macys (Franco Sarto brand)
I think kids clothing would be ok for the basics, but I wouldn't do anything trendy in kids clothing then you'll just look like a kid. Plus, Gap isn't super trendy (in my opinion), they are more your classic, basic clothing pieces.From the bloggers I've seen, they pick basic stuff - jeans, khakis, button downs, tshirts, jackets. And it looks good and doesn't look like they are playing dress-up or trying to be a kid again. I say if it fits, go for it. Back when I was skinny (very long time ago...ahahaaa), I used to buy Gap Kids pants all the time because it fit well. The fact that it came from the kids department didn't bother me.And ultimately, I think it's how you wear it that matters. I'll try to post some examples later when I have more time.
I carry most of my weight on my hip and thigh. I don't think kids pant will work on me. There is nothing wrong about shopping in the kid department.
