7 Stylist-Approved Outfits For Every Day Of The Week!
Last week, someone unsubscribed from the blog. It happens, and of course, it’s totally understandable! Occasionally people leave comments, which I always read and take to heart. This person said I was short and she was tall, so she couldn’t wear any of the things I recommend. So, based on this feedback, I thought now might be a good time to re-visit a few things that work for shorties like me, and tall people too!
Many of you might know that I’m only 5’1″ — and while I’ve heard that I look taller in photos 😏, the truth of the matter is, I have my own clothing woes. We all do! So, here’s the deal: after helping thousands of women in the dressing room over the years, as well as a decade of being a Nordstrom Buyer and another decade as a Stylist, I have a very good idea of what works for the majority of us. I try really hard to select items for the blog that are not only top sellers, but that I’m confident you’ll love.
Today’s post is about brands and styles that work for all of us, tall and short, and I’m sharing them with you below. A couple of days ago, I met up with an Insta friend on the Upper East Side for a little Madison Avenue shopping. We popped into the Frame store and both walked out with this cardigan and this cropped trench. We continued discussing her very long list of favorite purchases, and it quickly became apparent that even though there’s a 7″ difference between us, we both have really similar wardrobes. Keep reading to see the 7 stylist-approved outfits both tall and petite people can wear every day of the week … you might be surprised!
Danielle 5’9″ | Susie 5’1″
Danielle, a Nordstrom stylist in the Fashion Valley store, is 5’9″ and a size 31 in jeans. I’m a former Nordstrom Stylist at 5’1″ and a size 27 in jeans. And, we’ve had many dressing room try-ons together, and we BOTH wear the same jeans … without exception!
