The Silky Maxi Dress
Nothing says Valentine's Day like a dress. Dresses instantly elevate your everyday style and scream special occasion. Reds, pinks, and whites are the obvious go-to's that never go out of style. Finding a dress that compliments your petite body type is key to feeling and looking your best. A dress is a classic and feminine choice that will flatter your petite figure and show off your curves.
Go for a simple and elegant with a midi or maxi dress like the Ramona Front Cinch Maxi Dress in Moss for a streamlined look. Add some accessories like a necklace, earrings, a clutch, or a belt to complete the outfit! 5

The One-Piece-Wonder Jumpsuit
A jumpsuit is a one-piece wonder that can make you look chic and sophisticated in no time. It's the perfect option for a Galentine's Day outfit with your besties too! A wide-leg jumpsuit will create the illusion of height, while a tapered-leg jumpsuit will show off your ankles. The Abigail Wrap Jumpsuit in Marsala is the perfect choice and will show off your favorite strappy heels!
For a more elegant look, choose a jumpsuit in satin or silk. Style with a blazer or a cape for a glam touch. For a more flirty and playful look, search for details like ruffles, lace, or cut-outs to add some flair!

The Outfit with Romantic Details
If you want to keep it casual but still romantic, lace details and floral prints are an effortless go-to for a date night out. A lace top can add some texture and elegance to your outfit and keep things cute. Ask for the Selena Button Down Tank in Blush in your next box!
For petites, it's important to choose a top that is not too loose or too long, as it can make you look shorter. You can also tuck in your top or wear a belt to create some shape. Style with a flowy floral maxi skirt like the Ryley Printed Side Ruffle Skirt in Berry to finish the crazy, sexy, cool look outfit!

The Daring Neckline
Valentine's Day is the perfect excuse to take risks and unleash your inner fashionista! Be playful and experiment with different necklines like square, scoops, and the aptly named "sweetheart" style for looks you will fall head over heels over.
V-neck styles can help elongate the neck on petites by creating the illusion of length and help highlight the décolletage for a flirty look. To try a deep v-neck, the Rowyn Floral Jumpsuit in Rosewater is a fun choice and gives off the illusion that you are wearing a dress. Plus, it has pockets, perfect for keeping your lipgloss close!

For a romantic feel, flowy and soft midi and maxi styles are a must! The Elletra Elastic Skirt in Grey has that je ne sais quoi you will want on this special day. As a petite, choosing the correct hemline length is key. Look for options that hit under the knee or at the ankle for the best fit!
