Need to invest in a new wardrobe and looking for inspiration.

Thank you

How petite are you? I'm five foot exactly so I'm well below where the petite ranges usually start. At the minute, I'm wearing a lot of short skater style dresses with leggings, long slim bootcut jeans with oversized vests, converse or converse style shoes and ballet flats when the weather permits.

i'm 5ft 2 , bought but not yet worn a pair of cropped jeans from mint velvet ( just above ankle on me ) , white tee from whitestuff and a short beige trench coat from warehouse , also a faux leather biker from french connection , still need to find footwear !

Today I'm wearing a column maxi skirt from Topshop - I just pull it up to sit under my norks to make it the right length!

I also wear jumper dress things - they are probably supposed to be long jumpers but they are long enough to be a mini dress on me, with opaques.

M&S jeggings in medium, tucked into ankle boots

Topshop Jamie jeans (they are supposed to be cropped but are full length on me)

Remus, I also pull maxi skirts to just below the old norks otherwise they are far too long. I honestly thought I was the only person to do it!

Keeps me nice and warm too! :)

Not as little as you One Little Lady, am 5ft2.
Will have to have a look at the jamie jeans as def. Need new jeans.
Have never heard of mint velvet will have to look it up.
Not really spoilt for choice shopwise where I am.

I find jeans from H&M kids department are really good!

Currently in maternity wear which is a challenge in itself (!) but I decided a few years ago to just buy normal length trousers and have them taken up. Ok, so it costs extra and is a faff to organise, but means much better fitting trousers :) and more choice.
