There’s a new petite clothing subscription box in town, specially curated for petite women! If you’re petite and have ever tried a clothing subscription service, you may have run into the problem of a real lack of options in your size. A few years ago, I worked briefly as a stylist for one of the major subscription box companies where I saw firsthand how they lacked actual petite sizes for their clients, despite advertising them heavily. It was very frustrating as a stylist to see so many dissatisfied clients who specially asked for peti ..read more

Jacket – AllSaints // size 0
Tank – H&M // size xs
Jeans – Frame “Le Pixie” // size 25
Loafers – Gucci // size 35
