The Perks of being Petite

Get the perks of being a wallflower reference there? Heheh (:

Anyway, I've said it many times that I'm petite/fun sized/small. At 156cm (almost 5 ft 2), I'm probably the shortest one amongst all my friends and my younger sisters are quickly already catching up!

So although I do sometimes wish that I am a little taller, there are some perks of being petite ;)

1. You often always win at hide and seek

Simply because you can hide in all the tiny spaces that no one else would either a) be able to fit or b) think of looking. Score.

2. Looking younger than you actually are Even though we don't all like to admit it, people correspond height with age and being petite just means that you can get away with being younger and look more youthful. It may not seem like a great thing now, being a teen, but I'm sure when I'm older I'll be grateful :D

3. You can get away with wearing mini skirts/dresses without looking skimpy

4. If anything is stuck under the bed or under the car, you've got no problem at all.

5. You're a great stalker It's easier to hide from someone if you're petite and well, you won't be that easy to spot!

6. People are less likely to give you weird looks if you're playing at the playground or doing things that kids would normally do

7. You can shop in the kids section (via Ash @ A Beauty Moment) Cheaper clothes? Yes please!

Wishlist Wednesday #6 // New Look (Petite)

Being smaller (or petite as I like to call it), it can be quite hard to find clothes that fit perfectly because they're most often an awkward length. 

Thank goodness New Look has a Petite section so this is what today's wishlist will be about - inspired by autumn/fall and back-to-school. Perfect for those under 160cm (or 5'3'')!

Grey Leather-look Sleeve Shirt Dress: £14.99 // navy embellished strap grecian prom dress: £22 //
red floral lace skater dress: £19.99

1.Oh how I want this in my wardrobe! Simple, yet the faux leather sleeves changes it up a little and this can be worn to school, layered or paired with a statement necklace for something more glam.
2. Glamorous - what more can I say? I always have a fear or maxi dresses with an empire/cinched waist because I'm afraid it'll cinch weird and just end awkwardly. However, as this is for petites, it'll be perfect for graduation, prom or a super fancy event. I love the navy royal blue colour and hey, you may need a dress like this even in autumn/fall (:
3. Deep red screams autumn/fall for me. Paired with leggings/tights, you're good for autumn/fall (:

plum zip up hoodie: £14.99 //  light brown drop pocket roll sleeve blazer: £24.99 // 
black leather-look zip up biker jacket: £39.99 

 1. Hoodies! I love myself a good, warm, cosy hoodie (:

2. I like the laid-back style of this as it's quite slouchy and great for a casual cover up.

3. To toughen things up, just put this leather jacket on. Always wanted one because it's so edgy looking!

Pale blue acid wash cropped skinny jeans: £8 // 28in navy jeggings: £12.99 //
blue denim look leggings: £9.99

1. Love myself a good pair of skinny jeans. Since this is acid wash, it's a change from all the dark denim you might see this season

2. I actually prefer jeggings/tights to jeans just because they're stretchier, more comfortable and you can move around easily! Why not grab a dark pair?

3. This shade of blue looks really nice and super versatile

Black pinafore skater skirt: £6 // blue denim skater skirt: £14.99 //
biscuit pleated chiffon maxi skirt: £14.99

 1. Lusting for this - channel your inner school-girl! Plus, you can pair this with so many things!

2. Everyone needs a good denim skater skirt in their wardrobe (Y)

3. If it gets a little cold or if you don't like to bare your legs, you can wear a maxi skirt to cover it up! It also swishes with the wind very nicely (:

grey space dye mesh shoulder sweater: £14.99 //  dark blue 3/4 sleeve lightweight knit: £14.99 //  Monochrome floral print crop top: £4

1. I love the mesh shoulders of this sweater and this can be dressed up with a bodycon skirt or down with just jeans - also perfect for school! 2. It's a lightweight knit so it provides just enough warmth without going overboard and the colour is so pretty (: 3. Following the monochrome trend, this crop top can be paired with virtually anything you want. Thumbs up for crop tops! And that is my super extensive wishlist...yes I did want everything :P If you're petite, do check out the huge variety HERE, but if you're not, there's still some pretty awesome things at New Look (: Which ones caught your eye? --------------------------------------------------------------------------
