Do The Cat Walk!!

As you all know, I made it an end of the world bucket list mission to give myself a makeover.

I told you guys why in this post.

Here's to it turning out better than the Car-Lashes!

I started my mission by cleaning out both of my closets.

Turns out I love to buy clothes that I'll never wear only to hoard them on a hanger!

After filling about 4 whole bags with clothes that I no longer wanted, I passed them along to TheViking's g/f's daughter.  For the record, she's 15 and fits in them perfectly!  Sigh...

The next step was to find a clothing store that is good quality, great style, and very petite.

My Aunt and I ventured off to the city to browse through the Macy's on 34th street.

Guess I was hoping for a miracle!  <-- hahaha get it?  Miracle on 34th st?? Ok, I'll stop...

After a four hour shopping escapade throughout that monster department store, I left empty handed.  Would you believe that I didn't fit into ANYTHING in a 14 story, jam packed store??  It took 3 hours just to sort through the petites section.

After a quick stop at H&M to buy a few cute tops, we headed home.

...with our heads hung low from failure...

That's when I had an epiphany.

There is a woman that works somewhere in my office building that is shorter than me by a few inches.  Even though she's shorter, we have a very similar body type.

I often admire her flawless sense of style as we pass in the hallway.

I hope she doesn't think I'm checking her out!

The following Tuesday I tracked her down in the bathroom and demanded to know where she shops.

That was it.  It was gold.  I finally found a store where I could fit into the clothes without even bothering my tailor.

That's a really happy turtle via.

Petite women need to shop at Ann Taylor.

That night I grabbed Peaches, drove like a mad woman, and skipped joyously into the wonderland of The Loft.

I asked the saleswoman to point me in the right direction.

There I was.

Holding a perfect pair of slacks.

I looked at the size to see 00PP.

Then a tear slowly slid down my cheek.

A happy tear.

I bought 2 tops and 2 pants to start.

I can't wait to go back and fill my closet.

I found my store.

How did you find "your" store?

And what is it?  Come on, I'm dying to know...especially from all my petite readers.  Hollaaa!!!  :)
