Mini Urban Outfitters Haul

This post is probably overdue since one of the items - the infamous UO peplum blazer -  has already been reviewed by Chloe, AN, Stylepint, and Jen (now just waiting for PAG and PetiteLG to join in the fun... did I miss anybody else??).  But what the heck, now you can directly compare and see that petites are not all the same... we're all of (slightly) different sizes and body shapes! :)

Since I'm sure everyone has seen that blazer by now, I'll save it for last.  First up is the Kimchi Blue Print Strapless Pintuck Dress.  I'd missed out on the eyelet dress that ran incredibly small and was too tight even on AN, so I wanted to see if their other strapless dresses are similarly petite-friendly.  Here it is in size XS:

The pintuck detailing is nice, and there is smocking along the mid-back, which lends to a decent fit.  It stays up pretty well but I wouldn't say that the bodice feels super tight/secure.  This was $27 when I ordered, but is now on sale for $20.  I'm a bit on the fence about this one, mostly because I'm not sure when or what I'd wear this to.


Next is the Cooperative Pleated Bow Strapless Dress in XS.  This dress was just asking to be belted, so I tried both skinny and wide belts:

Review says not for the big-chested... which is good for me because that's definitely not my problem!  The front ruffle is flattering for my body type, and the material is a casual light knit.  It's a pretty simple dress which is pretty cheap at $13 and comes in several other colors.  Hubby likes it so I guess I'll be keeping it!

I also got the Thistlepearl Chiffon Dress in size 0 upon hearing that it runs small:

But although I had no problem fitting into it, when the too-long straps are shortened, the front hem becomes almost indecently short, so it's a pass for me.  It looks pretty good on Jen who's a couple inches shorter though.

And finally, last but not least, the Kimchi Blue Knit Gingham Peplum Jacket in XS:

Here it is again over the other strapless dress:

This is probably the best-fitting blazer I own... but probably because it's a knit fabric.  I do like the herringbone pattern and the interesting design with the peplum back.  The buttons are a little cheap and very loosely attached (but that's easily fixed).  It's also probably still a bit big on me, particularly in the bust area, but not a deal-breaker by any means.

And that's it!  I think I exercised excellent self-control this time and didn't go way overboard like my last UO haul that needed three blog posts to cover!  Hope everyone is having a great Labor Day weekend! :)
