Lace seems to be really in right now so I dug up this old lace dress in my closet and paired it with some new items I just got. I was pleasantly surprised at how this outfit turned out! I haven’t worn this dress for so many years, didn’t even know I still had it and luckily it still fit:)
Dress: Lace Dress from a bagillion years ago (random brand)- size Small (similar HERE)
Sweater: Banana Republic Cream Boyfriend Cardigan– size PXS (on sale in-store and online)
Belt: H & M gold rope belt- size XS (similar style HERE)
Necklace: Taupe multi-colored pearls (similar HERE)
Shoes: Aldo Taupe Patent Pumps- size 5 (similar HERE)

I really wanted to wear my new H & M gold rope belt so I was just playing around with some looks. This look could be worn to work on a casual Friday or a day I know I don’t have important meetings. With the cardigan off is a ‘lil sexy so I would only take it off for dinner or out w/hubby.
I just got this BR boyfriend exposed seam cardigan 2 weeks ago in-store. I had a major coupon I wanted to use so I popped in and saw this on the sale rack in the Petite section. There were no PXXS left so I tried on the PXS thinking there is no way it would fit (especially the arms). But to my surprise, it fit quite nicely! I have nothing like this in my wardrobe and never understood the boyfriend sweater look but figured the cream color would be able to coordinate with a lot of my outfits. Worse case- I can just use it to keep warm in my ice box of an office. But I’ve actually worn it several times already! Now I wish I had picked up one in a diff color.
Taupe Patent Pumps (love these)
(great alternative to the Aldo Taupe Patent Pumps and cheap!)
(almost identical to my H & M belt)
Ever since I started this blog back in March of this year, it’s really made me more conscious of what I buy and it also has made me put together outfits that I never would have before. It forces me to try new looks and to play around and try to be creative. So don’t be afraid to play around with different looks- you may surprise yourself with a great outfit! Thanks to other petite bloggers and other fashion blogs, I’m learning so much and having such a great time!!!

You look flawless.. and those LEGS! Amazing. I always end up banging my legs onto something and getting scratches and/or bruises. =(
Very cute outfit. Lace is definitely in this summer. I ordered a lace dress from UO. Review is coming up 🙂
Love the sweater and shoes….but when I click on the cardigan link it takes me to nowhere? Also I tried just looking for it on BR's website and can't find it at all. Could it be sold out?
I love your combo of long sweater and dress, and the colors are great too. I especially like how the scalloped hem adds that extra bit of detail to the outfit.
Love lace dresses!
Oh I love the hem of this dress!! And cream colors look gorgeous against your skin 🙂 Very sweet looking outfit.
I need to find a bf cardigan..
What a cute outfit! I'm loving that lace dress…now I just have to find one for myself! =)
Oh that lace dress looks so divine! I envy girls who can wear pumps. You look great in it. I simply can't. 🙁
I totally echo your last paragraph! I couldn't have said it better! I thank all the petite bloggers for sharing so much information!
