Petite Fashion Challenge #5

Posted on January 25, 2011December 21, 2014 by Elaine

Petite Fashion Challenge #5 was graciously hosted by Cynthia of Shorty Stories  and the challenge was to “brighten up your Winter blahs”.  This challenge was timely as it’s definitely grey and dreary out around here!

The challenge was as follows:

Create a sophisticated work appropriate look that has no more than one dark piece (it can be a skirt, pants, a blazer, sweater etc…) excluding shoes, accessories and hosiery.

So…I’m not sure how I did in the “sophisticated” aspect but I really don’t have many bright main pieces!  Most of my wardrobe consists of neutrals and I throw in colour with some individual pieces or accessories.  My casual wardrobe on the other hand (especially in the Summer!) is a lot brighter.

Anyway, here it is!

Blazer:  Mexx
Dress:  mark by Avon
Necklace:  mark by Avon
Boots:  Me Too (Winners)
Tights:  Ellen Tracy – NOT petite friendly!!!
I honestly don’t know if this worked or not.  I work in a casual environment and have worn this dress to work before with a cardigan but I do usually wear it in the Summer.

The dress is not a perfect fit on me, but the style of it isn’t meant to be fitted.  It’s actually quite comfortable to wear – perhaps I should make a point to wear it more often!

I also wasn’t sure what type of necklace to wear with this dress but I opted for something long since the neck on this dress is so high.

And here’s a peak at the back of the dress.  This is why I wouldn’t be able to wear this dress to work without a sweater or blazer on top!  I think the back is a bit revealing for an office.  And please excuse my hair, I was having an unbelievably extra frizzy day when I took these photos so up into a hair tie it went!

I must say I’m loving these Petite Fashion Challenges as they are certainly pushing me to think more creatively!  Here are my previous entries:

    love that you chose a black jacket to pair with your bright pink dress! Black jacket is a seasonless keeper.

    I love that dress! Did you buy it off a catalog? It’s so cute! I used to know someone who sold Avon stuff but I wouldn’t buy clothes because I was apprehensive about the fit. I did buy a shirt once and didn’t like the way it hung on me. This one’s super cute though.

    Hello just found you blog and lovey your outfit, the dress is a fantastic colour and I love it with the grey, it’s a super pretty combo! I too try to make my clothing items as seasonal as possible and re-mix them; it’s definitely more fun that way. xx veronika

    I can’t go to your site at work. Haha, firewalled because it’s labeled as having ‘adult’ content. Now I’m at home so I can comment. Phew 😀

    I think this totally works. That dress is great and a fab color! I like the long necklace. I noticed it before you mentioned why you opted for it, but your reasoning totally makes sense.

    Hey, I was in curls and pearls today! Well, my hair has been mean to me lately so it was more like stringy and pearls.

    @Gracie
    Thanks! I wasn’t sure about getting the booties at first but they’ve turned out to be pretty versatile.

    @Cee
    I usually think of soft pink or lavender to go perfectly with grey but I’m glad to find that this new combo works too.

    @PetiteXXS
    Yes they are actually such a great pattern! Need to find a pair that actually fits!

    @Ping
    Thank you Ping!!!

    @I am Khatu
    I think you are one of the QUEENS of bright! I just love how you put everything together so effortlessly.

    OMG I had to pull on those tights all day! I swear, they’re the smallest size and they’re made for someone who’s 5’9″! I probably could’ve pulled them over my head LOL!

    @SewPetiteGal
    Thank you 🙂 I thought grey wouldn’t be as harsh as black since the pink was already so bright. Who am I kidding the majority of my wardrobe is grey so I really had no choice 😉

    @Em
    Thanks so much Em :)I wish I had a grey blazer to go with it but it’s being repaired. Oh and I never thought about letting the hair down – might have to grow it a bit.

    I know what you mean about working in a casual environment. But I think you did a fabulous job on the challenge! Totally Sophisticated. I actually prefer it without the blazer because the high neckline really frames your collar bone giving off a proper look. I also like the long necklace for the reason you mentioned.

    The stockings and booties are adorable by the way!

    I have a similar dress form F21, and I love the slouchier fit. In my opinion this looks comfy and feminine on you : )

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!

If you’ve followed me for any length of time (or If you’ve followed me for any length of time (or met me in person for like 5 mins!), you’ve heard about my love for @lezethelabel 🤩

This brand is phenomenal. I love every piece of theirs that I own and wear a Lezé item almost every day. 

@lezethelabel is:

✅ WOC founded 
✅ Canadian
✅ Ethically produced 
✅ Sustainably made using innovative fabrics (like 🌽 or material made from recycled fishing nets!) 
✅ THE COMFIEST 
✅ Designed for real bodies! (Big pockets, lots of stretch, extended sizing)

The humans in charge are also incredibly kind and generous. ❤️

➡️ Since it can be hard to figure out sizing when purchasing online, I put together this little lookbook for you. Basically, I wear a L in their items made from their recycled fishing net fabric, but an XL in the corn, since they’re a little closer to the body and I like a baggier fit in that fabric. I typically wear a size 14. 

If you’re interested, check them out! And feel free to use my discount code (TORONTOBEAUTYREVIEWS15) for 15% off! 🔗 in bio. 😊

If you’re in the market for a new eye cream, I highly recommend checking out @sahajanskincare’s Golden Glow Eye Balm. ✨ It’s formulated with ghee (!) and feels sooooo silky and gorgeous. This powerhouse ingredient has been used for thousands of years in Ayurvedic medicine, and for good reason! This eye balm is mega hydrating but feels light and melts right into your skin 🤩 

In addition to ghee, it also includes rose oil and eyebright - these high-performance ingredients work together to reduce puffiness, fine lines, and dark circles. 

This Canadian brand is WOC-founded, and products are cruelty-free as well as eco-friendly. 🇨🇦🐇🌍

Have you tried @sahajanskincare yet?

I loved my long hair, but I was ready for a change I loved my long hair, but I was ready for a change. 💇‍♀️ @leeoc_hair at @thecellarsalon is the only person I would trust when chopping off this much! (I think it was around 10”!) If you’re looking for a hairstylist who is knowledgeable, talented, and the absolute sweetest, give her a call! ❤️

This bob is going to take some getting used to after my messy mane of long hair, but I already feel sooooo much lighter ✨

What do you think of the new look? 🙃👩🏻‍🦰

If you know me IRL, you know I’m a cleaning frea If you know me IRL, you know I’m a cleaning freak. 🙈🧼But, since I’m allergic to everything (fragrance, harsh chemicals, etc 😖) and also care about the environment, I try to find options that are natural as well as effective. 🌍🫧 That way, they’re gentle on my skin and the world, but tough on germs and dirt!

We’ve been using @nelliesclean dish sticks, stain stick, laundry soda for the past few months and LOVING them. ❤️ I even purchased Nellie’s Oxygen brightener recently, which is a bleach alternative that boosts color and keeps whites white. They WORK. (And look very retro chic!)

If you’re looking for effective, naturally-derived cleaning products from a Canadian company, I highly recommend that you check out @nelliesclean! 🇨🇦
