As a blogger, we get approached by many companies that want to send us items in exchange for a mention. I am very particular on which companies and items I will let appear on a post. I want to make sure it's something I would buy and definitely would wear in real life. I have done a Stella and Dot post/giveaway in the past and since then have been solicited by many Stella and Dot independent stylists. I have turned down all of them except for Naomi. She was so incredibly sweet and when I heard she was a fellow petite, I couldn't say no.  I love helping out fellow petites grow their company/business.  She allowed me to pick out several pieces to wear for you guys and this LaCoco gold curbchain necklace is one of my new favorite pieces. It's reminiscent of my vintage thrifted gold chain but in a longer version. What's great is that it doubles as a bracelet and you can also wear a brooch with it to change up the style.

I got my vintage thrifted skirt back from my mom. I had sent it to her to slim the sides for me. The waist is still a tad bit loose but I didn't want to make her do any more work than she was already doing (I felt guilty for making her tailor my clothes). She does a better job than my tailor - amazing! After taking these pics, I realized the skirt is still a tad too big all over but it'll do for now.

On another note, a lovely petite reader has a bunch of tiny clothes for sale - check out her Ebay page:) 
**Disclaimer: Both the necklace and ring were gifted to me from Naomi for Stella Dot.**
