There are so many body types, it saddens me that magazines try fitting women into an one.  I am petite, curvy amongst many other things.  Like many others, when I was younger I really struggled with my shape & size.  I wanted anything to be thin, tall and graceful.  Ha.  I'm anything but.  In an effort to share how I dress my shape, I'm gonna start posting some of my style diaries.  Show y'all how I use all those shoes I own :)

OUTFIT

J. Crew Factory Cocoon Coat (similar style here)

Gap Jeans (similar style here)

Gap Espadrilles (similar style here)

Tumi Stockton Crossbody 

J. Crew Plaid Shirt (similar style here)

HELPFUL TIP:  I try and find my collared shirts in the men's section.  There is tons of selection and the shirts tend to be much better quality.  Also, the smaller sizes are always on sale!
