Purple Tweed
Tweed jacket c/o Eshakti (sold out, similar here) / White cami / F21 jeans / Bow flats / Pearl earrings / Pearl necklace
As someone who is petite, it can be really hard finding clothing that fits. I know what you’re thinking- “You’re so tiny, how can it possibly be hard to find clothes that fit?”, but trust me- it is. Pants are always a little too big in the thighs, jackets always have sleeves that I have to cuff 3 times, and skirts are always way too long on me. Thankfully there are some select stores and retail chains that carry clothes tailored to fit my petite frame.
I recently was introduced to eShakti, a website with women’s designer dresses, tops, skirts and more. Any of their clothing items can be customized to fit YOUR body type, whether you have long arms, short legs, or lots of curves. They carry sizes 0-36W and allow you to customize the sleeves, the length of the pants and much more for a perfect fit.
I received this purple tweed jacket from them and styled it for a casual day out. A simple white tank top, some dark skinny jeans and black flats make this jacket great for any casual occasion. It can also be easily dressed up for work with a pencil skirt and heels.
That blazer looks amazing on you! LOVE it!
thank you Julie!
I’ve heard so much about eShakti lately. . . I really need to check them out. That blazer is beautiful on you. I really love the colour. I definitely know how you feel about finding clothing to fit petites. I’m curvy so I don’t usually have a problem with width, but length is ALWAYS an issue for me. Everything is always too long!
They tailor everything- the sleeve length, dress length- you would love it!
Love the jacket! Looks perfect!
thanks Amy!
Love your outfit!
thanks Michelle!
What a cute jacket, love what you chose from them!
thanks Dina!
Love the jacket you chose! So cute, and I love the subtle sparkle it has 🙂
Thanks!
You look so pretty, what a fabulous tweed jacket! I hear you, about how hard it is to find certain things for petites. Pants are the worst!
aw thank you! Glad I’m not alone 🙂
Gorgeous tweed jacket Rachel! You look amazing 🙂
aw thank you Rachel!
Don’t you love eshakti? They’re clothing is beautiful and that blazer is no exception. And I totally know what you mean about finding small sizes with our generation’s “size inflation.” I’m not even that small and whenever I shop I wonder how people who are smaller than me find clothes that fit!
So true!
eShakti is the best for petites! I have a REALLY similar jacket but in black and I never know how to style it…taking mental notes on this outfit 🙂
Aw thanks Sharon!
love the jacket! fit perfect:) x
thanks Chelsie!
I love this jacket on you!! It’s definitely a perfect fit.
thanks Angela!
I’m no where near as tiny as you, but I am generally a size 2/4, and even that makes it hard to fit into some clothes. I can’t even go into The Loft and expect to fit into any of their tops, even the XS in the petite section. And I’m really not even very small. So I hear ya! I’ve heard a lot about eShakti and I think it’s so cool that they can tailor to fit just about anyone!
you are TINY! It’s so weird how all stores are different. For example, in H&M I have to size wayyy up, but in other stores I can’t even fit into an XS.
Cute jacket! I’m tall and thin, so I know how you feel to not have clothes fit, pants are never long enough on me!
They need more stores that are tailored to different body types!
i LOVE tweed! it’s such a classic fabric that i think will be in style forever
i have the same problem as you too! and it seems like most companies are only starting to make sizes bigger and bigger – i have to get almost everything tailored
Exactly! Glad I’m not alone, though!
I know what you mean about finding clothes that are hard to fit (I am 5’2). That blazer looks great on you, what a great site and find!
Thanks Amy! We are the same height!
I like the idea of customizable items! I usually have the opposite problem – sleeves are too short, skirts are WAY too short. Great jacket!
Customizing is the best- this site is great for short, tall, thin, thick… everything!
I love the curls in your hair and that color purple is beautiful. Happy Monday! Xo Inna
aw thank you!
Love the tweed paired with the pearls! A website that is “made to fit” essentially is absolutely genius.
Thank you Alyssa!
Don’t you just love eShatki?! such a cute jacket!
Thanks Ash!
I love the jacket on you and the color is definitely suited for your skin & hair color!!!
Thank you Amy 🙂
Rachel, tweed jacket have that great versatility and can be dressed down with a jeans and a tee like you did or dressed up with a pencil skirt. I love them so much as they have that Chanel charm and are so feminine and classy. You are such a pretty woman Rachel, I cant say it often enough 🙂
Ani, you are TOO sweet <3 thank you!
