Petite Fashion Challenge #4

Posted on December 2, 2010 by Elaine

It’s here, it’s here!  Petite Fashion Challenge #4 is here 🙂   Every time these challenges are announced I think “oh I have plenty of time to do this” and every time I end up quickly snapping photos the night before.   This one was no exception!  

The challenge:

Create a holiday party look using festive colours and/or holiday pieces without looking like a greeting card.
 
I don’t really have many opportunities to dress up and I don’t like buying expensive dresses for one time wear (wedding dress excluded!) so I thought I would work with items that I currently have.

I’ve had this red dress for years – I honestly can’t even remember where I got it from.  I decided that red would be my festive colour and I used really “blingy” accessories as my holiday pieces! And what’s more festive than a snowflake brooch? 😛

Dress:  Unknown Brand  size XS
Belt:  Danier XS
Shoes:  nine west size 7.5
Accessories:  Avon

The earrings are ridiculously huge but I love them all the same:
The pretty snowflake brooch that I got last year:
This bracelet is a bit big on me but I still love it.  Makes any outfit special 🙂
The fun wasn’t just for petite bloggers but any petite that wanted to join in on the fun!  I had an entry from Design Girl:
“…for the holiday challenge, I decided to not go with the traditional colors but to go with a little bling on my shirt and keep the rest simple and comfy. I just got this shirt from Express delivered today and I already love it. It’s a pale pink and is sheer with a black floral pattern and some black and silver bead embellishment. I styled it with a pencil skirt to wear to a work holiday party (tucked in so you don’t see the gather at the waist) and with jeans for a holiday get-together with the girls.”
I mentioned to Design Girl that I can see why she loves the blouse so much!  I think it’s so unique and pretty and obviously versatile!

“Oh, and I never could get my shoes in the photo, which is why I am holding them.”

Outfit details:
Blouse: Express embellished pleated sleeve Tandori shirt in XS (it doesn’t look like it’s still available online, but I ordered in on Black Friday and think it’s probably still in some stores)


Tank top: Ann Taylor Loft XSP lace tank top, old
Skirt: Express tweed high-waist buckle-back pencil skirt in size 00 (I’m 5’1 and I think I need to get it hemmed 1 to 2 inches.)

Thanks Design Girl for your submission – I hope you start your own Petite Blog soon! 🙂

    I agree with you…I thought this was going to be easy, but it was not! I am so glad that you had this as an idea for a challenge, because it was a severe wake-up call for my evening wear!

    My photos were snappped at 4:40 this evening! Lol! I had all the text set up, and was waiting for my husband to get off from work. Poor guy had to come home and take pictures! Lol!

    I love what you did with your accessories. That bracelet is gorgeous! I love chunky jewelry.

I truly love these @milkmakeup Cooling Water Jelly Tints and wear at least one daily on some combo of eyes, lips, and cheeks. The color payoff is 🤯, the longevity is 😍. They’ve got vegan collagen and aloe to plump and soothe skin.

Proud ☺️🌈 And loud, since I have the privi Proud ☺️🌈

And loud, since I have the privilege of being able to live my life openly, unlike so many of my 2SLGBTQIA+ peers. I’m a straight-passing cis white woman, so my queerness doesn’t threaten most people. 

So, with that advantage in mind, let me use this small platform to say to anyone who is listening:

Never forget that Pride started as a riot. 

That Pride is more than slapping a rainbow on something, jacking up the price, and saying “love is love” for four weeks out of the year. 

That true allyship involves action and accountability, 365. 

That trans women, two-spirit individuals, and queer folks of color are the heart and soul of our community. That they continue to show up, to fight, to love, and to lead while facing very real danger. That we owe so much to their courage. 

Never forget that queer folks have always been here. 

That you can’t erase us, ban us, or legislate us out of existence. 

That queerness is a part of nature. 

That it exists even when it’s no longer trendy or politically advantageous. 

That we notice and remember who speaks up and who is silent. 

That we contain multitudes. 

That we deserve safety, compassion, legal protections, love, joy, and a future - just like every other human. 

That not all of us are “out” and don’t need to be; that we will invite you in if and when we choose to, and if and when we feel safe to do so. 

That queer folks make the world better. 

And that, despite seemingly insurmountable odds, we’re going to be ok. 

Because resilience, creativity, collaboration, and resourcefulness are fundamental parts of who we are. 

So we’re not going anywhere. Get on board.

Happy Pride!

❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Come with me to pick up the art piece created from Come with me to pick up the art piece created from the flowers in my bridal bouquet! 🥹❤️

Getting my flowers preserved and turned into this incredible piece was one of the best decisions I made during my wedding planning. ✨

Amanda and her team are extraordinary artists (and wonderful humans!) who give your flowers a new life and preserve memories. Every time I walk past this piece on my wall, my heart glows with flashbacks of my wedding day. 

If you have an important event that includes flowers, do yourself a favor and book with Parched to get them preserved. They accept flowers from across Canada, and have worked on blooms marking all occasions of life, from graduations, baby showers, weddings, and memorials. They can even create pendants using flower remnants!
