I love the color of this lace bib top which runs true to size but you could size down due to the wider fit. The regular missy size is a great length on me and I’m 5′ 2.5″. It only comes in regular missy sizes and it’s an online exclusive. Check out Sandy‘s Instagram stories for her review of size small regular (she’s 5’4″ and 150 pounds). She always shares a lot of other reviews too.
I live in white jeans come spring and summer. Here are some white jeans that you may want to try:
LOFT Textural V-Neck Sweater, size XSP
LOFT Crystal Disc Pendant Layering Necklace Set

This sweater runs true to size but you could size up for a more relaxed fit. I received a couple requests to try on this sweater. I’ve seen it reviewed by Courtney (5’4″) and Annie (5′ who took size XXSP). Su recommended getting it in regular missy size for longer sleeves and she preferred size small for a more relaxed fit.
LOFT Striped Ruffle Cuff Top, size XXSP (review here)

This top runs larger and I ended up exchanging size XXS regular for size XXSP after trying it on in red here. It is slightly sheer so a layering cami (see the exact one I’m wearing underneath below) is recommended.
Old Navy First-Layer Fitted Cami for Women, size small petite
This cami has a more relaxed fit and I took size small petite but I should have stuck to my usual size XS petite. I have it in nude and white and the straps are adjustable. The petite length hits me mid hip instead of being tunic length on me like LOFT’s clean cami. Special thanks to Ly for recommending this cami! Update 6/13: I ended up getting this cami in XSP petite for the best fit.
LOFT Cropped Denim Jacket, size XSP
Click here to view a clip from my try-on
This medium wash cropped jean jacket is a favorite new purchase and I ordered size XSP and it fits true to size to slightly larger. I have a very small chest so I felt a little overwhelmed by my usual size depending on what I wore under it. I decided to reorder it in XXSP yesterday for a closer fit. Su also tried on size XXSP so if it fits her then it should definitely fit me since we’re close in size but she has a larger chest. The width of sleeves are very wide in size XSP and they’re also roomy in size XXSP according to Su. This makes it easier to layer puffy sleeves underneath the jacket sleeves without feeling constricted. Update 5/9: I received size XXSP in the mail and it still fit roomy and very similar to size XSP. I didn’t like how loose the sleeves fit so I ended up returning the jacket. The measurements of size XXSP are as follows:
14″ shoulders
33″ bust (measured pit to pit when buttoned)
32.5″ along the bottom hem (when buttoned)
17.5″ sleeves
13″ upper arm circumference
9″ circumference at the end of the buttoned cuffs
18″ total length

LOFT Modern Skinny Chewed Hem Jeans in Bright Mid Indigo Wash, size 25/0P (review here)
LOFT Crystal Disc Pendant Layering Necklace Set
Ann Taylor Gretel Metallic Leather Slides (past season favorites, current season version here)
I wore this outfit yesterday. The striped top runs one size bigger. Size XXSP fit like size XSP. The cardigan runs true to size but I sized down for a closer fit. You can see size S on Lilly (she’s 5’6″ and 125 pounds). It’s the perfect weight for the summer. These jeans run true to size but they have a shorter inseam (measurements in this review).

I also like this look with white jeans and fun pom pom sandals.

I originally ordered this tee in size SP since I thought it would fit like long sleeve version that I have in black in size SP (review here) but it runs at least one size bigger. This tee has a very relaxed fit even in size XS petite. It’s not sheer and washes well on cold and air dried. This skirt runs big and size XXSP fits like size XSP. Please check out my previous review here for measurements.

Ann Taylor Gingham Ruffle Shell, size XSP

LOFT Modern Skinny Chewed Hem Jeans in Bright Mid Indigo Wash, size 25/0P

I LOVE this gingham ruffle shell which runs true to size to slightly smaller although the material has a good stretch to it. I would recommend getting regular missy especially if you prefer a longer length or have a larger bust since it has a shorter overall length. After trying on sizes XSP and XS regular I would prefer my usual size XXS regular for the best fit.

Ann Taylor Micro Pleat Top, size XXSP
This top runs one size bigger. Size XXSP fits like size XSP. It is double layered so it’s not see through and there’s a clasp at the collar if you prefer a more modest look.The v-neck is not too revealing in petites which I like.
Here are a some pieces I tried on last night:
LOFT Eyelet Sweater Tank, size XS regular
Click here to view the clip from my try-on
This sweater tank is at the top of my wishlist because of the eyelet hem. Courtney reviewed this sweeter tank in her Instagram stories in size XS. She’s usually one size up from me and since she’s taller (5’4″) and has a longer torso the regular missy size always looks better on her. I would need my usual size XXS regular for a better fit. It’s not too boxy and the sweater material is very soft. It’s a thicker material but I don’t mind since I tend to get cold easily. The color is a true white.
LOFT Mosaic Striped Split Neck Blouse, size XS regular
Click here to view the clips from my try-on
This mosaic striped split neck blouse runs large and very long (tunic length) on me in size XS regular. Refer to another picture of size XS on me with my arms out. I wanted to size down and order size XXSP but I came home to find out that it’s sold out in size XXSP. I would really appreciate it if anyone my size (5′ 2.5″ and currently 104.5 pounds) can confirm if my usual size XSP would possibly fit me. Thanks in advance!
LOFT Frayed Denim Wrap Skirt, size 0P
Lacy Striped Shirred Flutter Shell, size XXSP
Click here to view the clip from my try-on
This wrap skirt is really cute and it runs true to size to slightly smaller since it sits higher on my waist in my usual size 0P. I couldn’t figure out how to re-tie the sash so that it wouldn’t stick out since the denim material is thicker.
Lou & Grey Signaturesoft Open Cardigan, size XS regular
Click here to view the clip from my try-on
This cardigan runs true to size. Sadly size XS regular was too long and loose on me and I wish this cardigan was offered in petites because the signaturesoft material is so soft.
LOFT Denim Riviera Sailor Shorts, size 24/00 regular
Click here to view the clip from my try-on
These shorts look like denim in terms of the color but they’re similar to the stretchy material they use for their dress pants. They run true to size in my usual size 24/00 regular.
LOFT Striped Drop Shoulder Peplum Tee, size XS regular
Click here to view the clip from my try-on
This cute top has a very generous sizing as you can see here. It’s very wide so you could safely size down at least one size for the best fit.
LOFT Striped Boatneck Sweater, size XSP
LOFT Denim Riviera Sailor Shorts, size 24/00 regular
Click here to view the clip from my try-on
This sweater runs true to size in my usual size XSP.
LOFT Chevron Sleeveless Swing Dress
How cute is this new swing dress?
LOFT Chevron Sleeveless Swing Dress, size XS regular
I really wanted to try on this dress in petites (see it on Jean) but I only found size XS regular to try on. The straps of size XS regular are too long on me but the overall length is right above my kneecaps. I’m only 5′ 2.5″ so I definitely need this dress in petites.
LOFT Skinny Floral Embroidered Bi-Stretch Pants in Marisa Fit
These new skinny floral embroidered bi-stretch pants in Marisa Fit are just too cute! They didn’t have them in petites for me to try but I love the cute flowers.
LOFT Crystal Disc Pendant Layering Necklace Set
More clips of this set on me here and here. I love getting two necklaces for the price of one!
LOFT Filigree Chandelier Earrings
LOFT Filigree Pendant Necklace
Here are some pretty accessories I’m eyeing (you might notice that I have a few of these already):
