The Essential Belt curated on LTK

Madewell insider sale just started with 25% off almost everything! Free to sign up to get the discount at checkout.   • Suede belt xxs. On sale even though fine print says suede belts are excluded! Great basic I have in black and chocolate raisin.  • 90s crop jeans 24, hems cut (or get petite). On extra sale for under $60! These are a great slim cut option that works well with booties, flats and heels. Regular sizing is well stocked and it’s easy to cut. Love the darker gray wash.   • Trying on trench coat xxs. This is longer and oversized on a petite frame, would be ideal on someone a little taller. Very lightweight flow material. Wrinkle prone so the darker olive color is better for masking wrinkles (see on me in a separate LTK!) • top xxs, nice knit elevated basic • Kitten heel boots 5.5, took a little breaking in for me • Bucket bag in chocolate raisin. Excellent tote that fits a laptop. I cut the strap a little shorter and you can’t tell it’s been altered. @madewell madewellpartner ad madewellLTKFallSale LTKWorkwear LTKstyletip LTKSeasonal LTKitbag

•Trying on the Madewell drape twill trench in xxs. I’m 5 feet tall and this is definitely a longer length, looser fit trench.

Material is very light and flowy, and is an unlined style. This material is more wrinkle prone but the darker color appears to mask wrinkles well.

• White everlane tee XS (love these, I size up for a looser fit)

• Abercrombie YPB active skort size XS, I also size up so its not too tight

• New Balance 530 sneakers. I am a women’s 5 usually and found the women’s 5.5 to be a tad big for me so I got kids sizing

On me:
•jcrew Slim wide jeans in resin rinse sz 24 petite.

These have the cute sailor pockets, but the ones without sailor pockets (linked) would honestly be more versatile for me! The sailor pockets are great with a simple top or sweater, but I’ve noticed that many of my jackets and sweaters have front pockets and I prefer to pair those with bottoms with more subtle pockets.

Resin rinse is a beautiful classic dark wash and this cut is one of jcrews best options for petites - straight cut without being too wide.

I also tried the corduroy version linked and it was soft and comfortable and wearable with flats

•My red sweater is an older J.Crew style, I linked a similar current option
•Zoe ballet flats sz 5.5. I’ve had these for a few years now
•Cat eye sunglasses . Also a style that I’ve owned for years! Very retro chic

On Nori:
•Striped cardigan top sz S, note this is lightweight and thinner
•Girls sailor jeans sz 5. Slightly stretch waist in the back and snap front closure
•similar flats linked. I’ve bought the jcrew girls flats in silver and she likes them

• Ann Taylor belted taper ankle pants 00P - my color is from a prior year. Sizing runs looser so I have the belt tightened. Very classic ankle pant.

• Madewell bucket tote - fits a laptop! Love the chocolate raisin color. Softly structured on the sides so doesn’t feel too big

• H&M slingbacks , old

Code TAKE25 for 25% off! Works at checkout. Narrow calf petite friendly kitten heel boots are so rare to find.

Also linked some booties I’m eying and the exact short trench I have in XS! It fits big but I like it and I have the sleeves folded under (will need to shorten)

Just got my order in and they’re very short gal and slim calf friendly.

I ordered size 5.5 and it is a great slim fit hitting well under my knees. The shaft top measures a pretty narrow 12.5” around, and the shaft height measures 13.75 tall. The faux suede has a little stretch.

Just FYI , typical of Steve Madden boots, the calf height and width will get a little bit larger with each shoe size .

40% off this quality J. Crew blazer fully stocked in petite sizes!

This is a more tailored style with a longer boyfriend fit and shoulder padding. Sharp looking with jeans or workwear. Comes in both navy and black. There's substantial weight to it, and it's fully lined.

I just tried this on and the fabric and quality are excellent - just note the shoulder pads and that petite sleeves on J. Crew blazers and coats tend to run shorter than some other brands. I would take 00P and the sleeve length hit me just right for someone 5ft tall, but may be short on someone with longer arms.
