Thank you Nordstrom for sponsoring this post.
I love posts where ideas are given for where to wear an outfit. It often gives me new ideas and gets my own creative ideas going. So, today I’m doing just that – styling four petite-friendly outfits from Nordstrom and giving you ideas for where I would wear them.

Where I Would Wear Summer Outfits
Sizing reference: I’m 4’10” and around 105lbs. I’m typically a size Petite XXS/00/24 but I will share my sizing beside each item to help you compare when shopping online.
Day-Date
I had a request earlier this week for date outfits that say “hot momma” instead of just “momma”. Girl, I hear ya! I’ll have more of those outfits coming up, but it made me think of a cute day date outfit instantly. I went for a skirt that’s a little too short for running around with the kids and a slim-fitting tank top. Just enough “hot momma” for a daytime setting. The skirt is a true wrap style, I’m wearing it in XXS and it fits well. The tank top is also in XXS and it has a very close fit. The shoes run a little bit big, you could size down 1/2 size. It’s hard to tell in the picture but these sandals have a rectangle base instead of being rounded, just wanted to point that out because it caught me off guard.

Park With My Boys
My boys still love to go to the park, and so do I! It’s often one of our go-to’s for getting out of the house in the summer. These shorts are a comfortable mid-rise. They’re stretchy and great for moving around in. I would consider them to be true to size despite the Nordstrom website saying to size down. The top is roomy, but not large. The armholes fit great and the body of the top is flowy and perfect for a hot summer day. I’m wearing it in XXS.

Summer Wedding Guest/Event
This dress has a white base so I know someone will think it’s too light for a wedding guest dress, but I say use your best judgment for the wedding you’re attending. I would wear it to an outdoor garden wedding or any summer event. The dress has adjustable straps making it easy to pull up to your height. The body of the dress fits well and it’s fully lined. In the back, the dress comes down to my ankles. I’m wearing it in XXS.

Brunch
Wear this one to brunch, to work, or maybe to a baby shower. It’s an all-around classic summer dress. It is fully lined with an eyelet overlay and not see-through. It has a tie at the waist that really brings the dress in. I’m wearing it in XXS.
