Outfit Recap #2

I wore this F21 dress I bought on e-bay under a skirt on my last post.  I got a lot of inquiries on it and thought you might like to see it own it's own.  I love the sleeves so much!

I received so much response from the last outfit recap post I thought I'd post some more recap pictures.  Please let me know if you enjoy this type of post and make sure to leave a comment for outfit details ;)

Outfit Recap

Time is flying by so quickly, I thought I'd do a quick outfit recap to capture a few ensembles I've missed. 

One thing I wanted to make sure and mention..............It's true, I'm wearing the same skirt in the first and last pictures.  I seriously can't get enough of this Forever 21 Paisley Woven Skirt.  I bought the extra small and still had to have the waist altered down (probably because it's from their "Love 21" line that runs a tad larger) but it was definitely worth it! 

These caged sandals are fabulous and soooo comfortable.  I've worn them three days in a row already and I can't do that with some of my more expensive brands.  Online at F21 here.  The online color looks slightly orangish, but they're really more of a tan/brown.  They remind of the Nine West Felicidad caged sandal that Michelle reviewed here. 

Also, if you noticed a pink hem peeking out from under my new Tucker for Target Floral Dress it's because I used the Loft Zip Pocket Sleeveless Dress as a slip underneath!  The color and fit was perfect and how great to have a dress do double duty?!!  (I'll style it on it's own soon so you guys can gauge the fit).

That's all for now ;) 

The deadline for the 6th Petite Fashion Challenge is tomorrow at March 24, 5PM PST (8:00 PM EST).  These challenges are always so much fun and this one is being hosted by Jess at Stylepint.  Make sure to check it out!!


Please leave a comment if you need outfit details, I was too lazy to try to capture everything! Lol

Happy, Happy Birthday Baby!

Today is Mr. PEMS's Birthday!  The funniest, sweetest, hunkiest, most amazing man just turned another year older.  (Despite that I am often accused of robbing the cradle, he really is older than me)...just wanted to clear that up. 

Happy Monday Lovelies!

Review: Loft Petite Roll Sleeve Drapey Shirt & JCrew Cotton Bell Skirt

I was at the Loft Friday and picked up this blouse to help complete some savings cards for full discount.  I was surprised by how much extra fabric there was all over since I did get the xxsp.  (However, I think that may just be the style of the blouse and tucked in you'd never know).

The sleeves are meant to be rolled up on this blouse, but I thought you guys might like to see where they hit on my wrists when worn unrolled....(of course you can see from this last picture that the sleeve tabs are quite visible when the sleeves are fully extended. 

What I like about this blouse:  Super soft and amazingly comfortable.  (I almost wish it came with matching silk pajama bottoms for the option of wearing to bed!) Lol  The color is also quite versatile and goes with more than I expected in my closet.

What I don't like about this blouse:  Completely see-thru.  I took pictures with a nude bra and you can definitely see that it would need a cami underneath.  It also stains like the dickens!  I am quite a messy eater so it's necessary to keep a tide pen in my bag at all times.  I have never had a tide pen leave a ring on fabric after use, but it did with this blouse.  It will definitely have to be washed to get the spot cleaning rings out.  Luckily the tag says wash in cold and tumble dry.

I also trotted into JCrew Friday.  I had heard that this skirt ran small and was hoping to find it on sale in store in a size that worked for me.  I tried on a 00 and size 2  (size 0 was not available).  I actually bought the size 2  because it had extra fabric in the gathers in the back that I thought were really cute.

What I like about this skirt:  A very comfortable pull-on style.  Also quite flattering despite the extra material all around.  I believe that I will be able to wear this skirt to the office or casually on the weekends, the material seems really versatile.

What I don't like about this skirt:  The fabric is quite stiff, so it was necessary to smooth it down or adjust after standing. 

I would love to get feedback on both items and please be brutally honest.  If something needs to go back I definitely need to know ;)

Review: Banana Republic Outlet Petite Gray Sheath Dress

I first fell in love with dress at the Banana Republic Outlet.  Unfortunately, it wasn't in my budget so I gave it a teary good bye and checked my e-mail inbox daily for outlet coupons. 

The next time I saw this dress it was being reviewed by petite bloggers.  If you did review this dress please leave me your links so I can add them in.  I was thinking Jean, Annie and Vicky all reviewed this dress but I could be wrong 'cause I couldn't find the posts!....(So frustrating) 

Anyway, finally ran across it on e-bay in a 00p no less - yay!  So, here's how I styled it................

I can tell this dress is a keeper 'cause I felt pretty all day!..........(don't you just love when that happens?)

Review: Tucker For Target

Thanks to Lisa at Respect the Shoes I heard that Target re-released some of the dresses from their Go International collection this week!  Of course I scooted my tushie down there to check it out ;)  This dress by Tucker for Target has been seen on several bloggers.  A bit big on my short frame, but I think once I got it styled it looked just fine.

Not to shabby....I kind of like it.  So the sleeves are supposed to be bracelet length and the hem is supposed to hit a bit closer to mid thigh..............not the end of the world right?  What do you think?

Who are you wearing?

Have you ever stopped someone while out and about and asked them "who" they were wearing?  I have a confession to make, I do it all them time..........Okay, not all the time..... just whenever I see someone wearing something that was actually meant to be a part of my closet. Lol!

At first I thought that it would be too embarrassing to actually approach someone to ask about outfit details, but then I realized that it would be far worse not to (if you know what I mean).  So far, everyone's been very flattered and amazingly helpful!

So what about you guys?  Have you ever asked someone or has anyone ever asked you?.....and what was your reaction?
