This is the 2nd year Jessy (The Little Dust Princess) has organized a “petite” Secret Santa. See my post on last year’s Secret Santa. I’ve mentioned it before but my personal experience with the the blogging community – especially the petite blogging community has been one of support and friendship. I was really excited to participate again and this year my Secret Santa was none other than my famous friend Jean of Extra Petite. My very first venture into the blogging world was through Jean’s blog where I entered a photo contest 🙂
Here is the gift I received from Jean:
Jean is so sweet, she saw me tweet about this blouse after I saw it on Michelle who looks AMAZING in it, the colour suits her so well!
I absolutely love this blouse. Really loving pieces that can be worn casually or as business attire too.
See who I drew here.
Thank you again to Jessy for hosting!
Ahhh thanks so much Kiki! In need of a hair cut soon, short hair always seems to grow much faster!
Thanks Jacquelyn, sorry for the late reply!
Definitely join next year! It’s so much fun getting a surprise in the mail!
Thanks Karen! Yes you’re right I can definitely wear it more formally. My work is really casual though so I try to mix more conservative formal pieces with casual ones 🙂
Merci ML!!!
Eeps, super late reply, but thanks so much Jen, and I hope you’re feeling well! 🙂
Thanks Joy! This colour is definitely one of my favorites 🙂
LOVE the blouse too! I really want more colbalt blue stuff in my wardrobe!

Awww so nice of you, thanks Elvi 🙂
LOL I know it was confusing to me too – but I think it looks ok just as it is. It’s removable though so that’s a bonus!
Thanks Tara! It’s so funny I have quite a few tops from Loft and Ann Taylor now 😛 Probably more than if it were available in Canada!
Smart and sneaky 😛 LOL I know you’d think AT was a high end designer for us 😉
Thanks anon 🙂
Thanks so much SPG 🙂 I hope you have a great New Years!

This blouse looks awesome on you! So glad you were able to acquire some AT!
How smart of Jean to glean ideas for presents from a tweet! Lucky you for owning a highly coveted Ann Taylor (by Canadians anyway).
