On me: Anthropologie petites dress xsp c/o, old Ann Taylor belt
My sweet mom is in town helping out with some things, and I thought it’d be fun to share outfits styled on both her and me this week! For fit reference, she’s 105lbs, a little under 5’2,” and usually wears xs petite / 0P in tops, 2P in bottoms. She has a fairly minimalist wardrobe (mostly the same few basics she wears on repeat + a few special, dressier pieces), so we’ll be sharing a few items from the Anniversary Sale that she’s gotten good mileage from over years past, plus a few try-ons this year.
And for those who are not interested in the NSale, here are 5 noteworthy other sales!
1. Dermstore
The Deal: Up to 25% off & free ship event with code CELEBRATE. Includes LOTS of major skincare (including Sunday Riley value kits), hair care, and skincare devices like NuFace. Some products I use and love:
-
- Oribe dry texturizing spray at a rare discount (see how I use it). If you want both the texture spray & dry shampoo, though, this Nsale set is a better deal.
- Oribe serene scalp shampoo & conditioner for dry scalp is something I splurge on!
2. Backcountry
The Deal: Their big semiannual sale with deals on Patagonia jackets, Arc’teryx, Sorel & more!
3. Abercrombie
The Deal: 50% off jeans, ends 8/9 (rare promo for them). You can filter on the sidebar for your size and short, regular or long inseams! See their high rise straight cut denim fit on me here.
4. Anthropologie
The Deal: Up to 40% off dresses and free ship over $50, ends 8/9. Filter on the side for your size or petites!
5. Express
The Deal: 50% off these petite-friendly picks:
-
- Classic belted camel pant – starting in size 00 short. My mom tried these on and found them to be flattering & TTS, she fit size 0 short. 50% off these petite-friendly picks:
- High waisted supersoft straight crop pant – starting in 00 short. My mom also tried these and liked the cropped length, slightly wider leg, and stretchy (yet not too casual looking) material for WFH. She fit size 0 short.
- High waisted cropped black pants – these are final sale but only $15 when you add to cart!! These have a flat front and no button / tab detailing compared to the super soft pair above, but similar cut. Will show on my mom how to style them this week!
- Ruffle sleeve textured top – beautiful, looser fit low maintenance top that looks great half tucked.
On mom: Gibson tunic xxs, Barefoot Dreams cardigan xs/s, Zella leggings xs, Adidas womens sneaks
Sharing a few additional notes on our outfit items below! On me:
Socialite tee ($15.90 on sale) in 2 great prints
-
- An underrated item from the Anniversary sale that you’ll have to put on to understand. Material is super comfortable, soft, stretchy and not thin. The prints pair with SO much from casual to work from home / office looks – my mom & I will show how to style this a few ways this week!
- Fit: roomier, looser fit with dropped shoulder style sleeves.
Zella Maternity Live In Crop Leggings
-
- Gosh I love these so much, as an achy preggo in her 3rd trimester! Not on sale unfortunately but these have been worth it for the belly & back support they provide me several times a week lately. There *is* a Zella maternity style on sale, but note it has a 27″ inseam which I knew would be too long on me.
- Fit: I got 1 size up from my pre-pregnancy size because I personally don’t like my clothes too snug during pregnancy. I wear these probably several times a week and will also be getting good wear out of them postpartum! Learned my lesson first pregnancy that it takes a while to get back into my regular high rise leggings.
Adidas Swift Kids Sneakers ($39.90 on sale – should fit up to womens size 9.5!)
-
- Raved about this find on IG stories – stretchy knit material, flexible sole, ortholite insoles. The “ash pearl” color is like a blush – nude/beige and not too pink, flattering when worn against bare legs. The color in the stock photo is a little more accurate than my pic!
- Fit: I got big kids size 4 which = womens 36, and it feels like a womens 5.5-6. I potentially could’ve gone another half size down, depending on sock thickness. Here’s the conversion chart from Adidas (top row is the big kids size, bottom row is EUR womens size):
On my mom:
First 2 are pieces I got my mom years ago, that she mixes in regularly with her everyday outfits!
Gibson twist front cozy tunic ($28.90 on sale)
-
- Fit: She has xxs regular bc she prefers the length (the petites, when available, is a much shorter length, can be worn as a top but not a tunic). See it on me below in the same size, from when I was pregnant with Nori!
Barefoot dreams circle cardigan ($68.90 on sale)
-
- Fit: She has size xs / s in “heather pewter” which will be a slightly oversized, longer fit on someone who is my pre-pregnancy size.
Zella 7/8 length leggings ($42.90 on sale; kids are $24.90 on sale)
-
- Fit: XS is very comfortable (slightly lighter in weight than their “live in” fabric) on her with a flattering mid-high rise. 7/8 is a perfect petite-friendly length.
- Savings tip: She also has Zella kids leggings in size XL for under $25! The kids version does not offer as much compression in the fabric, the rise is about an inch shorter than womens, and the length of the kids XL is a little long on my mom still. My cousin who is similar to my pre-pregnancy size buys Zella kids size L leggings.
For those who *are* shopping the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale (I know many of you are starting Monday!), check out my guides and reviews:
1. Nine of My Most Versatile & Practical NSale Picks
Including my mini review on Allsaints leather jackets. Amongst the 9 picks, I’ve had these for a while and love them:
- Gibson knit blazer ($50) – my top rec from the entire sale. Nice slim fit on the petites. I have xxsp.
- BP faux leather leggings ($29) – Love these so much. I got xxs last year and fold the extra length under.
- Tie waist ankle pants in a good fabric & beautiful rust color – I got 00 petite last year
- Barefoot dreams circle cardigan – xs/s is a slightly oversized longer fit on me. I’ve also gotten this for my mom (as seen above), aunts, and multiple friends (great new mom gift)

3. My NSale Best of Boots & Shoes Try-Ons
Including a few of the most flattering boots, waterproof leather shoes, everyday flats, and my recommendations for those with narrow ankles or calves!
Eliza J is one of my mom’s favorite brands for dressier pieces, and she prefers jumpsuits over skirts so she doesn’t have to think much about head-to-toe styling. She doesn’t have anywhere to go in this look right this moment, but this pocketed jumpsuit (starts in 0 Petite) was SO flattering on her I had to share. Fit of the petites is TTS – she is wearing 2P and the material has a little stretch.
