I check out quick if I find my size in stock at Anthro. Things sell out quick and they can be returned.
Cute dress, I would definitely wear. As a fellow petite, the length would be great!

I like that dress (ha, not that I’m any fashion expert-much of what I know I learned here 
). Seems like mini-ish could be nice in that style. For me, that length looks a lot better than long, mid-calf length chop of my short legs. If it were spaghetti straps too, I’d not be as sure.
Now when you’ve picked a sweater/overshirt/jacket/whatever (if that’s your style) and shoes… please show us your choices

The petite sites that I go to on Facebook suggest one should wear little heels and nude colors, pointy toes. Unfortunately, I go for comfort. I have several pairs of Birks. And Mephistos. Mostly Black. No pointy toes.
Lots of sweaters.

I’m not a fan of pointy shoes. I do like comfort but have never tried Birks. Typically when I get dressed, I start with “what shoes will work best today?”.
That is a nice dress, and it won’t be too short on you.

I too go mostly for comfort shoes. I have tried on Birks several times, but they just don’t quite fit me.
I have multiple pairs of Taos sandals, because they have adjustable straps that work well for my narrow feet.

IMO, that dress works great with Birks and a cropped denim jacket.

I do the half tuck so often and usually don’t wear a belt. However, with a longer shirt like that, I’d say you maybe want it a little less tucked and also not that big of a difference between the front and back length. Depending on the top, sometimes you can tuck the back in a small bit and then pull it our so it still has the half tucked look but the difference between front and back is not as large.

That dress is very cute and not too young. A white cropped jean jacket would be nice with it as well.

Ha ha just saw your comment after I posted about the jean jacket.

Y’all - I have been shopping too much!
I’m going to post three pics, and I have two questions:
-
On the navy and white stripe: tie in the front or wrap around and tie in the back?
-
On the black mixed media dress: shorten it or no? If yes to shortening, how much? (Okay, that’s three questions)
TIA, fashion sisters!
Dang - why don’t they ever post on the order in which I select them?!

I think the tie looks great both ways but I think I prefer tied in the back.
I like the length of the other dress!

I think tie front or back could work. Or possibly a black belt instead?
I say try the long dress at that length. It looks nice. If over time you change your mind, easy to shorten (but ha, not easy to lengthen as my hairdress sometimes reminds me).

My husband always comments when I do the half tuck. He obviously doesn’t love the look. I never know how much to untuck.
He also isn’t a fan of my new striped pants from Anthropologie. He keeps calling them my train conductor pants. I love them. The baggy wide legs pants are a big departure from what I’ve worn for years. I’m enjoying them. Biggest adjustment is figuring out what shoes to wear.

Both great dresses. Agree with others the tie looks good either way. And the length of the other dress looks good.

The tie/belt is actually attached, so an alternative belt isn’t really an option.

Also agree that the tie looks great either way. An additional option is to tie the belt with one upward loop and long tails, sort of on the diagonal, on the front/side. A diagonal line elongates the overall effect. I saw it done with a floral print, a striped sash, and it added interest. Tie one loop, have longer tails of different lengths, like a robe.

@bookworm - that dress is super cute and not too young at all!

@conmama - those dresses look great! I’d tie the striped in the back (to emphasize your tiny waist). Long dresses/skirts seem in style this year, so I’d keep the length of the second outfit.
