Same outfit, just buttoned up the coat so you can see the fit.
I wore this outfit out Saturday and received numerous compliments on this H&M coat. It didn't break the bank at $49.99 + $18.00 to have the sleeves shortened. If you're taller than 5'1" the sleeves will probably fit you just fine without alterations. Sydney from Petite Little Girl does a wonderful review on this coat here. If you've purchased this coat as well, please leave your information and I will link back to your post.
Thank you so all so much for your feedback on the new "Don't buy it, recreate it" post series. I'm really looking forward to doing more of those!
Also very excited to announce an Allison Izu review coming up! Especially after trying on 30 ................(I'm seriously not exaggerating) multi branded pairs of jeans at the mall Saturday and none of them fitting correctly. If you've reviewed Allison Izu jeans in the past, please leave your link and I will add it when I post ;)
Have a great weekend dear friends!
my favorite is the teal- i love that scarf!! im supposed to do a review on those jeans, but they just didnt fit well :(
ReplyDeleteThe jacket looks lovely on you post alterations. I did a review on her petite denim last year. I only had to try on 4 pairs. 30? Holy cow! Looking forward to see the review though. Have a great Sunday!
ReplyDeleteThank you EPL! I can't wait to receive those jeans...........although I'm a little concerned now. I know how close our measurements are. Keep your fingers crossed for me ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you Sydney, I'll make sure to add your link to my post. Actually, I was trying on numerous brands of jeans at the mall (all of them looked awful) so now I really can't wait 'till I recieve the Allison Izu jeans!
Oh!! My favorite is the dress with the sweater vest...and not just because of the kitty! :)
ReplyDeleteExcited for your Allison Izu review! I am doing one as well!! My package has not arrived just yet, but I started assembling a list of links to petite reviews. Here is what I have so far:

You always look so chic! I couldn't possibly think of such great outfits to wear everyday. I'm jealous. :)

Callandra,
ReplyDeleteI seriously look forward to your weekly outfit posts all week! You look flawless in each of these looks!
I also love how you showed a perfectly professional way to wear sequins to work.

callandra-- i adore your all your outfits! my favorite is the 3rd outfit. i wished you had links so i can buy everything you buy...hahha! i want those booties and the last pair of boots you're wearing. i don't have anything like it in my closet.
ReplyDeleteYou layer so well :) I love that jacket from Target, it is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLove everything! Especially of course that Loft jacket that I also own :-)
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to read your jeans review.
If you like Isaac Mizrahi, he also has his stuff at QVC.com.
I love your outfits and the bag in picture 2 and 4. I'm really thinking about getting that bag as a Christmas gift to myself.
ReplyDeleteOmg Michelle! You totally rock, thank you so much for all of those links!!....and I can't wait to see your review as well!
ReplyDeleteThank you Megan ;)
Awww, you're so sweet Marion, thank you!
Thank you Ping! I'm so sorry about the link thing...I've been trying to get more wear out of what I already have and so all of the items in this post are no longer available online :(
Thank you OWL....several years old but I still love it!
Thank you Tara ;)
Great information, thank you Lydia!
Lol Anon! Sounds like a wonderful gift, I'd love to have a real one myself! Hee hee
I just love the way you dressed up the cord skirt. The teal/combo and scarf are just beautiful. They really work well with your coloring.
ReplyDeleteAlso the jacket and striped dress combination are terrific. The sleeves look perfect on you at their altered length.
Just found your blog and I love it. Following now!
ReplyDeleteIn the 4th pic, is the teal wrap top and Payless shoes both recent finds? I did a review on the coat as well but it does not look as good as it does on you.
ReplyDeletemy favourite is the one with the pink dress and grey vest. So boho chic and pretty :D My bf would love that look. Your cat is soooo cute as well. My cat always comes in pictures, I think they secretly know whats up and want to get in on the action :D
ReplyDeleteOh Callandra...why must you be so gorgeous/flawless :) As usual I love all of your inspirational outfits. If only I could look as effortless as you! The jacket from Target is beautiful! I love all of them but #4 is my favorite! I can't wait to see your next "Don't buy it" post! I just realized I wasn't officially a follower but I am now :) Dreama
ReplyDeleteMy fav is outfit #3.. but u look amazing in outfit #4!! The last outfit is very cute.. like something I might wear myself ; )
ReplyDeleteOutfit 3 with the dress and vest is gorgeous - but let's be honest, you look great in everything! ;o)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love each of your outfits and I'm excited for the new series!!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you ABC! As soon as I saw that scarf I had to have it....didn't even wait for a sale! Lol
ReplyDeleteYay! Thanks for following Katie ;)
Hi CP! you're posting now?!! Yay!...I can't wait to check it out. The teal wrap top I just bought from H&M so it's definitely still available. The shoes I bought a lot earlier this year.....I doubt if they'd still be available but there are a lot of look-alikes out there.
I think you're right Ms. C....I set up the camera and they all coming running! Lol
Thank you so much Dreama, you're so sweet!
Thank you Bella ;)
Awww Lisa! Thank you ;)
Thank you Elaine, I'm looking forward to doing more of them!
oh my goodness....love all of this week's outfits! Especially the last 2! The coat looks great after the sleeves came up.
ReplyDeleteThank you Annie...chic and classic just like you! ;)
ReplyDeleteLove your outfit recap! I was going to pick a favorite, but you look great in all of them! You are absolutely gorgeous!

Are you okay?! I have been checking your blog every day and I'm getting worried about you. I haven't even seen you comment on other blogs like I often do. Please pop in and ket you readers know if you are ok.
ReplyDeleteConcerned.
Are you ok ?
ReplyDeleteI had a moment of shock since I'm currently wearing the same Loft Sweater dress as I'm sitting here, typing. I've never paired it with a trench - still waiting for mine at Talbots to arrive. But your outfit gave me inspiration to spice up mine. I'm just wearing it with cheetah flat and black tights. Thanks for the tip!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy I found your blog! I'm a fellow petite and newly-minted blogger, and I will definitely be following and coming here for outfit inspiration. Your style is wonderful, and you look perfect in every photo!
ReplyDeleteHello, Framboise!
