Casual Warm Weather Outfit at Napa & Follow Up on Gap Petite Jeans



I hope everyone had a nice 4th of July. I got a chance to escape the city gloom and enjoy the beautiful hot Napa Valley. I went to eat lunch at Bouchon and it was delicious as usual. We took advantage of the beautiful scenery and snapped some pics away.

After a late lunch, we drove ourselves to the Napa Valley Outlet. My first stop was BCBG. After 20 mins in the store, I had a handful of things to try on. I had dresses, jumpsuits, shirts & skirts in sizes 00 & XXS. I thought to myself, wow there's so many things in my size!!! Sadly to say, everything was huge and unflattering. So my excitement goes down a few levels as I drag my bf to BR. I hastily go into the store and find myself in the petite section. I thought I scored with a pair of 00P pants, but when I got them on in the dressing room it was another disappointment. The pants were baggy in the hips, legs, butt & thighs. My usual size is 00P at BR. Now, I'm starting to think that they make outlet sizes bigger than normal!!! My last stop was to Guess and I tried on a pair of leggings & it fit. I had to get it because I didn't come all the way to leave with empty hands. So yes, I drove an hour and a half to buy a pair of Guess leggings.....argh!

Follow Up: Gap Petite Jeans From Previous Post




Gap.com
Always skinny destructed jeans (faded wash)
Size: Petite OO
Price: $19.99

I am keeping these. I think they fit, feel & look nice. I can see myself wearing them on a regular basis and I really like the color. I wish the length was a bit shorter as you can see in the pic it is bunching up on the bottom. Overall I think these jeans are pretty true to size. I'm taking it to the tailor to have it shortened before I wear them. They are definitely worth $19.99!

  2. You look super adorable in the first outfit!!!

    And the 00petite gap skinny jeans...I had no idea they even made that size!!! It's a great fit and I do agree- length is a bit long and I can't wait to see it after it's taken up!

    You cannot beat $19.99! Same price as my H & M girl jeans!!

  5. Love these pics...you look gorgeous. I really like those flounce shorts and was inspecting the pics trying to figure out whether they were shorts or a skirt : ) I tried on a pair from Urban which I liked, but unfortunately they were $50...the price you paid for yours is awesome : )

    I would suggest washing & drying the pants before getting them hemmed. Once I had a pair of new jeans hemmed then they shrunk quite a bit in the wash and were too short!

  6. I love those flounce shorts too! And totally thought they were a skirt until you said otherwise.

    Glad to see the jeans worked out for you. I'm still skeptical about BR/Gap jeans since I've tried on so many and none of them has ever fit me.
