Go Green

The weather has been awesome this week. I undoubtedly enjoy every minute of it. I purchased this dress a few months ago while vacationing in FL. I haven't had a chance to wear it yet since it's been so cold. This dress has been hanging in my closet since December waiting to be worn. As the weather got up to the mid-60s yesterday, I immediately took it out for a spin.



What I am wearing:
Dress: Be Bop pleated dress via Nordstrom Rack - size S
Cardigan: Ann Taylor crewneck cardigan - size XXSP
Shoes: Steve Madden Ulltra blush patent leather pump
Belt: H&M Necklace: Amrita Singh Montauk





This dress runs big. I am wearing a size small and it was big all around (especially the top part of the dress). The fit is obviously very important to me but sometimes, I have to give up the fit for something else that I love. In this case, it was the lovely kelly green color and those feminine pleats =)



On a separate note, I entered Refinery29’s Style Blogger Contest and would really appreciate it if you would vote for me. All you have to do is search for me (the quickest way is to use Ctrl-F key to find PetiteLittleGirl.com) and click on the little heart next to my picture to vote. That’s it!


Thank you so much for your support!

So beautiful! And I agree - sometimes you have to give up something (in your case the perfect fit) for other things you love (the color and design). I actually think with the belt, it looks like a fabulous fit on you!

The colours in this outfit are so gorgeous! Make me long for spring even more than I already was :) I love it when ladies manage to put outfits together using no black items - I find that very difficult!
