Happy Thursday, everyone! Madewell opened a shop in Fresno last fall in Figarden Village and today I stopped by to pick up a couple of basics.

:Haul:

Even though it’s May, I can’t help myself and bought this sweater. It’s on sale and it looks cute paired with leggings. Plus, it reminded me of oatmeal… Now on to more practical pieces for the summer heat.

For petite women, I would recommend the crew neck pocket tee. They have a much better fit than the v-necks and actually show off a feminine figure. XXS small fits me perfectly. Whenever something fits me without alterations, I pick up multiples. Plus, they are super soft!

I wished Madewell would change the fit of their v-necks. The super relaxed fit looks boxy on my petite frame.

In an effort to reach out of my comfort zone and accessorize more, I picked out two bandanas. I think it will look cute tied around my neck or wrist or maybe even in my hair. This ribbed tank will add some texture to some outfits and be good for transitioning into different seasons.

The last two items I bought were a tank and a maxi skirt. I have two similar tanks to this already with a slightly wider strap. Ever since I moved back to Fresno, I realized that I actually had to dress for each season and I was no longer able to be in sweater weather mode all year long. It gets hot and I need to have some tanks that are modest enough for work.

As a petite woman standing at 4’10” I struggle with maxi skirts. Sometimes there is just so much fabric that I feel as if I’m drowning and wearing a curtain. This is actually supposed to be a midi skirt but it hits me right at the ankle allowing me to show off cute sandals or even wedges.

Thank you for reading!

 

Black and White:: Sweater & Scalloped Hems

Happy Monday everyone! Recently I’ve been into styling monochromatic outfits. I feel as if black and white is a classy yet difficult to style. By mixing different textures and structural elements, the outfit has some unique elements. I love this scalloped skirt and added a leather jacket to make the look more edgy. While I was walking around New York I was stopped and questioned multiple times about whether or not I was cold.
