Casual and Put Together Summer Outfits I Actually Wore: Outfit Ideas for Petites

Something I’ve realized about myself since taking photos of my outfits and homing in on my personal style is that I am a HUGE fan of a neutral base and a pop of color. It usually makes for a great outfit that makes me feel confident and makes me feel like me and this is exactly how I’m trying to feel when getting dressed. Not every outfit follows this color combo, but I do enjoy when it does. Here is my round up of my latest outfits.

As usual, I am linking all of my outfits using affiliate links. This just means if you make a purchase using my links, I earn a small commission, at no additional cost to you. I appreciate your support so much!

This black gauze button up is one I reach for CONSTANTLY. I bought it last year and it works so well as a little lightweight layer.
