Mishap of the word kind

I've just checked over my last post for a second time and noticed a few spelling mistakes and words that shouldn't be there. Big apologies for that. I did check before I clicked publish but I am rather tired and so I missed a few.
This is what I get for writing a post on my mobile with the predictive text on.

I will try my very best to make sure the next post is checked at least 10 times for being published.

The curse of a young face and short legs

It has taken me a long while to build the courage over the years to wear dresses and skirts.
I see some gorgeous designs and think how amazing it would be to wear them. But I often try them on and regret it near enough strait away.
As looking back at me is what people often take me for. A young teenager.
As well with being pettite, I have rather a young face. While this will be handy in later years when Im still able to pass for 25 at 30. It is a bit of a hindrance when choosing what to wear.
And at times it can bring a girl down.
This is not what you want to be feeling when you put in a lovely dress.
For a long time, and often I still get those moments, I would feel disheartened.

But then I thought hang on, why should I feel like this? This is my body and I'm not suddenly going to sprout up anytime soon.

I realized all i needed to do was to find the length and shape of dresses etc that flatter my shape and height.

Here are a list of pointers I have found work for me when hunting for that perfect dress.

*Calf length is not the right length. I found this length cuts off my legs and can make me look dumpy.

*The best length for me is just above the knee or just below. I found this is the perfect length to give the illusion of longer legs. I often wear flesh coloured tights to support this look and in the end i feel great.

*Pencil skirts are great for giving the illusion of shape to your thighs if yours are rather slender.

*Too many frills can work against you if you have that younger face. While a lovely elegant look that make for a pretty skirt, I feel it makes me look too much like a little girl.

*Belts can work wonders. It can give you a waist where you don't have one. And also you can hitch up a dress without needing any quick sewing lessons.

*Sewing classes defiantly come in handy if you, like me lust after a gorgeous maxi dress. Because unfortunaly even looking in the teen section of new look doesn't work. The bust gets smaller but the dress stays the same length.

So to sum up ladies. Do not dispare. We can look drop dead gorgeous in that little black dress. We just need to work a bit harder than most. But its all with it in the end when we feel amazing.

Hello all. You will have to bear with me as I am writing this blog on te IPod and for some reason it won't let me upload the photos from the ipod's gallery. So if you would like to see them, please go to my Twitter : Petite_Stars.

Hope you all had a good week and hopefully I'll be able to do a proper post with photos next time.

This weeks out fits

Helloo everyone. Happy Monday, my post will e brief today as I'm still recording from the flu and I'm not feeling on top form just yet.
So I hope you all had a good week and here are this weeks outfits.

All Hail New Look!

My favourite shop for buying clothes has to be new look. I love the styles and the size 6 & 8 tops fit me lovely. Id probably move in if I could. But there is another big reason I shop there. Their line Generation9-15 clothes are great for someone of my shape and height.
While some of the clothes are obviously for young girls (slogan t-shirts with OMG for instance). Most of the clothes are like a younger persons version of the regular NewLook range. Which for me is GREAT.
Mostly I get my jeans and jackets and occasional cardigan from there. And I find it such a relief 99% of them are just good ole plain black or blue denim. No sparkles..yay!!
But like I said I also get jackets in Gen9-15 as some regular size 6 jackets, the arms can come up rather long. But, thank the heavens, most of them are grown up friendly and don't make me look like I'm off to school.

Anyway here are a few of my favourite pieces that I have bought from New Look.

This is my favourite blue check shirt - Gen9-15

Crochet Pink Jumper.

Very comfortable and I love the colour. I tend to go for more dirty pinks than pale baby pink. Doesn't do me any favours. Shorts also from New Look. Both were in Gen9-15 range.

This dress I bought in the Sale for my cousin's wedding this year. It was in the separate brand lines New Look sell ( I forget the name). It was a perfect fit and I felt really good wearing it. Something that doesn't often happen when I wear dresses. Most I try on either drown me or make me look about 12. But this was really lovely.

Welcome. An introduction

Hi there. My name is Zoe, I'm 24 and I am 4"11.
Since entering into womanhood I have been on a daily mission to follow fashion but also find my own style that suits me.

But this can be tricky being a compact lady. Tops are no problem...most of the time. Luckily I can fit into size 6 & 8, (unless the person who tried the tops on previously has stretched out the sleeves ect).
Trousers, shorts and yes evenunderwear, are a problem area for me as, due to the size of my waist and lenght of my legs, my size is AGE 11.
I've spent years hunting for such items in the 'teen' sections in shops, that aren't embroidered with flowers or embellished to the hills with pink gems and glitter.
Don't get me wrong. This isn't a blog protesting that 'teen' clothes lines aren't designed with pettite ladies in mind. Far from it.
I know that the clothes are what they are, Tenneagers clothes. And they wont be designed with adults in mind. That would be wrong, particularly for the younger teens.
No my aim for this blog is to offer my point of view of shopping, for all the pettite gals out there I want to offer helpful tips and put the fun back into shopping. For when those Pettite sections aren't quite petite enough.
So I look forward to diving into my fashion adeventure headfirst with you and have some laughs along the way.
And maybe by the end of it we will have shown the world that great things really do come in small packages.
