Despite my avoiding going into malls and stores the last couple of months I did look around an H&M while I was waiting to meet up with a friend.
I found this cute little trench coat:
H&M Trench Coat size 2
Oh and don’t be confused by the hair – this was taken pre-highlights and haircut 😉
Loving the back details
It doesn’t look so great unbelted but I don’t know too many trenches that do.
Close up of the pretty details:
For some reason I forgot to take pictures of the sleeves! They are slightly long for me, which is to be expected but I would probably have my hands in my pockets all the time anyway 😉
I also found this navy blazer that I tweeted about . The red version was tweeted about by Cher @TheFuzzyMittens tweeted a pic here and Annie from Really Petite also showed it off. Sorry, no outfit posts of the blazer yet but it fits really, really well! I got a size 4 so smaller petites may do well with the size 2.

The balance of the votes was for other styling tips. Thank you soooo much to everyone who took the time to vote and comment 😉 The ruffle front top and the zip sweater are definitely going back and I’m going to try some styling tip with the cardigans to see the versatility of them before making a final decision 🙂
I thought the poll thing was kind of cool and tweeted about how to do it. A company called Zoomerang contacted me and I checked out there site to do the polls on part 2 – they were really easy and I think they look much better than the ones from part 1!

Thanks for the comment! I did find this coat a while ago so I hope you find it!
i m looking for a trench coat , i think i find , tomrrow H & M .
I think the ruffle details are cute, but honestly my initial impression was that it’s a tad big on you… but it may just be because the sleeves are scrunched up in the pics. I’ve fallen for trenches before only to later realize that they don’t really fit me all that well. Alas, I’m still looking for my perfect and affordable trench while saving up for a Burberry (with alterations of course!)
I absolutely love all the details on that trench! You look tres chic!

the ruffle detail on the trench is absolutely adorable!!:D
Very cute on you! The ruffle detailing isn’t overpowering, yet looks very feminine on you!
Personally I tried on this trench earlier but it didn’t look great on me. ;/ Alas, I’ve come to the conclusion that double-breasted coats don’t look good on everyone, such as me. You definitely pull off that trench coat much better than I do!
Also, don’t be afraid to roll up the sleeves! AN Kelly does it all the time and it looks great on her!
I think that trench is really cute, love the subtle ruffle detail!
Pretty! I thought the coat looked normal at first, but I noticed the ruffly details in your close-up 😀
I think my friend has the same trench! I remember thinking it was very cute and quirky with the little ruffles. I’ve never seen another trench like that! I actually think it looks equally nice when untied.
Cute trench coat! I’m envious you had time to check out H & M. I would love to spend more time there, but I’m always having to do high speed shopping these days, otherwise one or the other of the kids (or both) start complaining. Have a great weekend!
The ruffle detail is soooo cute! And I agree with you that almost all trenches don’t look that great undone – love the buttoned up look on you though!
what a cute trench!
Great finds! 🙂 Thanks for linking my photo as well – My tweets are set to protected for employment purposes, but linking it helps other petites with the blazer 🙂
I agree that it does fit really well – For reference, I’m 4ft11, approx. 92lbs, and 28-25-33. The blazer does look a little bulky if worn over a sweater though, so keep the layers thin.

Classic trench…….every girl’s must have for sure! I really like the the ruffle details too……they’re subtle but they definitely add!!
I love the detail on the back of that trench. It looks great on you!
It’s nice to see a trench that isn’t screaming the military trend right now. Looks like it can be worn further down the road and a classic piece.
I remember seeing this pretty trench in stores. The color and fit suits you. Unexpected buys are the best, no?
I love trenches, and H&M always lures me in with theirs, but I must hold out for a real trench that is water resistant.
I love this trench. I’ve been meaning to venture to H&M, I’m going to have to get my fanny over there.
I actually tried on that trench coat a few days ago, but the size 2 wasn’t as fitted as I expected! Usually a 2 in H&M is pretty snug.
the trench coat looks amazing on you.. omg i can’t get over that it has tiny ruffles SOOO CUTE!
great trenchcoat!! i still haven’t found one for myself and am hoping my H&M will have this in stock!
cute and little
Such a cute trench coat! I love the detailing – so feminine:)
Thanks for the link!! Cant wait to see it on u!
love the trench coat and I just realized I haven’t been to H&M for months now or even to the mall!! (lesson : school took away my social life)
Also, thank you so much for the lovely comment! Plus, you are welcome and you really deserve the blog award!
