Basics are Beautiful

This time of year calls for cozy cozy basics!

My friends at Americas Basics sent me a long sleeve tee and I want to post a pic, except for it always in the wash! I'm wearing it all the time. It's sooo soft and fits me to a T.

I have the fushia tee, like the one pictured here.

For afforable basics that fit, this is the place!

Tips from Naturally Petite




Put outfits together in tonal combinations. You can appear taller by wearing one family of color -- such as shades of green -- or colors with a similar intensity, such as all pale colors.

Dolly Parton - A Petite to LOVE


It's Christmas break for me and that means lots of movies and family time.

My mom and I just watched 9 to 5 with Dolly Parton, who is an even 5 feet tall.

She is so entertaining and hilarious! If you haven't watched it (or even if you have) pick it up for a girls night in. It's a classic feel good chick flick.

And for my fashionistas working 9 to 5 this will make you laugh even harder. Just don't go getting any ideas, remember it's just a movie. 

I love how Dolly dresses to flatter her figure and show off her tiny waist. When you're a busty petite it is important to accentuate your natural waist. Otherwise your big bust will make you look large all over. 



Dolly always looks much taller then she is because she dresses to elongate her petite frame:

1. One piece figure hugging dresses (she loved the wrap dresses in the 70's).
2. By accentuating her natural waist.
3. Hemlines are always above the knee.
4. She balances her curvaceous figure with skirts that are fitted and jackets that are fitted at the waist and flare out a bit.
5. Her hair adds inches!
6. I've never seen her in flats!

Petite Sophisticate with Small Feet?


No problem!

I've had a few readers ask me for professional shoes to fit their small feet and their small budget. The first brand that came to mind at an affordable price point was Franco Sarto. Their sizing starts as small as sz. 4 U.S in some styles.

I love this pump below, click on the image to bring you to Nordstrom. They have a great selection of this brand.




Small feet and craving a some heels with mega inches? Try Jessica Simpson Shoes

Every fashionista needs to hone her skills and have a daily dose of style inspiration.

Alcohol is excessive calorie and sugar!

Enjoy in moderation but know most drinks are calorie laden which goes right to the hips! Try enjoying a sparking water with fresh berries, for a healthy alternative!

Let's Build that Wardrobe Ladies!


The key is to invest in the foundation, structure, bones of your wardrobe. 

These are the staples that never go out of style, are forever chic and that go with almost everything. What a pulled together PF understands is that not every item has to be wowwer, but it has to be reliable. 

These pieces can be used as canvases so that other pieces can shine and most importantly, so that you can shine!

Theses 10 staples will carry you through years, seasons and travels.



Denim
Your feel good jeans. Whatever the style, fit, brand or price

Classic White Shirt


Throw her on with jeans, a pencil skirt, under of dress, over a dress, with dress pants........

The Little Black Dress



Cashmere Cardigan
It doesn't have to be 100% a blend is just as pretty. Like the rest these items you will wear it all the time.

Trench Coat


It's instant style, instant glam, instant Nancy Drew!

A Classic Watch
A antique thin band is so perfect on petites. Buy this item at a vintage shop or antique jewelry show.

Diamonds
Real or Fake it doesn't matter. If they're fake, just don't bring them in the bathroom or they'll fog up. Unless you buy crystal ones, which I forever sparkly.

Ballet Flats
Because we can't always wear heels. Like, at the airport, outings with small kids and at the beach.

A Classic High-Heel Pump
While it may be a bit of a bore to buy, make sure you have a solid comfortable pair of black pumps. Also a pair of neutral shoes for bare legged petites; gold, tan, nude (this will give you legs for days).

A Great Bag
You will need 3 basics; a tote, a medium sized and a clutch.

Hope this helps making getting dressed a little easier!
