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

Best stretchy, wireless seamless bras. Use code JEAN15 for 15% off! My most worn style is actually the original spaghetti strap bra (linked as “similar”) but this one is a second favorite and fits a little smaller in the band and cups comparatively

•Barely Zero Fixed Cup Wavy Bra in Warm Bread. I am in size xs/s which fits smaller at the band and cup shape than their “one size fits most” styles.

The light cup padding is not removable so you don’t need to worry about taking them in and out for washing. Lower cut for deeper necklines and reinforced bottom band for added support. This makes the bottom band a tad less stretchy than the other style I featured but still very comfortable

The clasp back bra is also similar but with a clasp back and no scallop wave shape

These come individually boxed so are great for gifting for mom, sister, aunts - I always buy in a multi pack for this reason!

Comfy & warm winter wear on sale-

For cold snowy and wet days, also linked Ugg Adirondack boots I own which are super warm and comfy and waterproof as well! I take 5.5 in those Uggs which fit a tad more snug than my Blondo boots.

• Bernardo Water Resistant Insulated Stretch Puffer Jacket xs - water resistant puffer coat borrowed from my mom who is usually Xs 0-2 petite.

Love the silhouette due to the stretch fitted waistband and long enough length to cover leggings.

XS fits roomy on me and sleeves are a little long. Lightweight and comfortable. Hidden side zipper

•Blondo Natasha Faux Shearling Cuff Waterproof Boot 5.5 - fit true to size, enough room for me to wear thick socks.

Cushioned and very comfortable to walk in with no breaking in needed!

Especially love the side zipper so you don’t need to lace and unlace these each time.

• old black turtleneck, linked similar available in petite

• Zella 7/8 leggings with pockets xxs

• $15 BP sunglasses - I own these in several colors!

• my mom also has the sam Edelman puffer coat with belt in XS and it’s very warm. (Also on sale and linked)

Petite friendly simple workwear with soft neutrals

• Ann Taylor belted taper ankle pants 00P - my color is from a prior year but I’ve been wanting to get these in all the new neutral colors and burgundy. AT sizing in general runs a little big so I have the belt tightened to help with fit. Very classic ankle pant.

• Quince shrunken cashmere sweatshirt xs - slightly more petite friendly than their regular cashmere crewneck, great everyday layering staple. Another similar cut I really love and fits smaller than Quince is the linked J.Crew sweater . I size up to Xs in the J.Crew one

• H&M slingbacks , old. The similar ones linked form nordstorm are TTs and a great neutral color

• Madewell Essential tote - even fits a laptop!

Petite friendly J. Crew finds on major sale- including these jeans (40% off)!

• Lady day jacket size 0 petite - Mine is from prior year, but in my experience the petite sleeves run short and this style runs slim fit and smaller, so I’m most comfortable sized up in a 0P. Petites with longer arms or those who want a slightly longer length can do regular sizing

• 100% Cotton cable-knit Crewneck sweater in linen wash size xxs . TTS, hip length on me

• 40% off J. Crew slim wide jeans 24 P - J. Crew jeans run about a half size big for me but I don't mind a little extra room at the waist these days. These are one of J. Crew's most flattering petite jeans!

• Ugg Adirondack is a heavy duty winter weather boot suitable for cold, damp and snowy days. I take 5.5 and they keep your feet warm and dry. If between sizes, maybe go up because these are lined all inside the foot area including the insole. I have 5.5 in these and they’re very toasty warm. You can wear the upper cuff folded down or up.

• For a more everyday winter “fashion” boot , the other pair are Blondo Natasha Faux Shearling Cuff Waterproof boots. I have 5.5 and there is still room for thicker socks Love the Zipper side closure for easy on and off.

A breakdown of the Aritzia down coat styles since all of them are on sale! I find these to be a great look for less option if you like the slim fit, warmth and lightweight aspect of Mackage down coats.

The Superpuff down puffer comes in regular and snug fit, and 4 different lengths.

Also with faux fur, or without for the hood trim

Fit: regular or SuperSnug. SuperSnug is slim fit through the torso and sleeves. Some opt to size up.

Regular fit is looser and straighter cut, some ppl opt to size down on this one.

Lengths: I like Mid on me for a petite friendly option, or long for extra warmth in north east winters!

These are all lightweight but warm, water resistant and wind resistant

Trying on the sale Aritzia Connor wrap coat, one of their classics that come back each year.

This is the shorter version, and I’m trying on xxs which is slim fit and flattering on me with sleeves a tad long.

It also comes in a longer length which I personally like since I prefer midi lengths

For fabric choices, there is melton or virgin wool which is thinner and more slim fit looking , and also wool cashmere which feels slightly thicker with a plush hand feel

$50 off pans! Now $99

My Always pans are on sale with built in metal steaming trays and wooden spatulas included. The bamboo wooden steamer is sold separate, but the built-in metal steamer works great for every day veggie steaming etc and we used it a ton to make baby food!

Medium size, colors Steam and blue salt

• My pans here are several years old, but my mom just got another one, the 2.0 version, and says it’s been improved in a few aspects. It is now oven safe and she said the non stick surface also works better

If you do a lot of Asian style cooking like sauteeing , stir frying, braising dishes and also steaming these have served our needs perfectly over the years. Both our moms use them regularly as well. I would not use them for anything that requires strong non stick surface or for high heat searing ie steak, fish etc bc those will wear out the non stick. We damaged the nonstick surface on one of our pans this way unfortunately.

• we bought the add on wooden steamer basket (comes with parchment paper liners) for steaming buns and stuff but you don’t need it for everyday steaming

For everyday steaming these pants each come with a metal steaming insert tray with handles !

• always Pot is also shown but to be honest I don’t really use that one much, mostly just the pans.
