The Best of 2023 – Kelly’s Picks
Going back to January 2023, it was so much fun to reminisce about the year gone by. So many good times were had! We took a few trips and spent some time at Tybee Island. I think one of my favorite aspects of this blog is that it's a great little time capsule. There are some hits and some misses when it comes to fashion, but it's a lot of fun to look back and reflect on all the things that help us move forward. Today, I have collected my favorites from the year with The Best of 2023 – Kelly's Picks.

The Best of 2023 – Kelly's Picks
May 2023
This was the year I broke out of my comfort zone and decided to try new styles and silhouettes a short person always hears won't work for them. Well, guess what I learned? No matter your size, you can wear any style or silhouette that you want – whatever makes you feel happy and confident is the perfect style for you! And I fell in love with the Kelsey Flare Pant from J.Crew Factory. This kelly green is sold out but it's available in black, Seacoast Blue, and Navy.

June 2023
Beth and I do a fun series where we show an outfit or a separate, in both petite and regular sizes. This Petite Eyelet Linen-Blend Halter Top from Ann Taylor was my favorite outfit from the series this year. The top I am wearing is nearly sold out, but there is another halter top that would be perfect to snatch up for next year or a warm-weather trip - The Shimmer Stripe Tile Print Bow Halter Top. Plus, it's on sale!
July 2023
July was a super busy time for us with the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. We spent a couple days in Atlanta for the sale and managed to go out for a great meal and enjoy the shopping trip. While this particular trapeze dress is sold out, Banana Republic has a long trapeze dress that is stunning!

August 2023
The dog days of summer wearing comfortable outfits! Here was another example of me going out of my comfort zone with wide-leg chinos with the Petite Sailor Heritage Chino Pant. If you're going wide on the bottom, wear a fitted top to master the balance.

September 2023
This Roman Faux Leather Skirt from Veronica Beard was my favorite find at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. Its neutral camel color means it'll go with everything and its faux leather material makes it work in all seasons.
October 2023
This outfit was by far one of your favorites too! Ann Taylor does such a great job with their petite sizing and these Petite Eva High Rise Ankle Pant in Houndstooth are no exception. The tie-neck blouse is no longer available, but this is such a perennial style that Quince offers a gorgeous substitute.

Kelly, like the look of your tees and tops but when I check to see what to order for myself they are not petites. I’m a true petite. Does JCrew carry petites in tees? I don’t like tees to cling and sizing can vary with different shops.

Hi Judith, J.Crew does not normally carry tees in petite sizes. I have always had good luck with their sizing consistency though. If you like a looser fit, try sizing up one size. I hope that helps! xo Kelly
