As a petite girl (5'1 and a half, the half is important, ok!) I constantly struggle with finding pyjamas and loungewear that fit my legs without looking overly baggy. I know they're only for bed and lounging on Sundays and on cold nights, but I still want to look good don't I? I mean, what if I get a delivery I've forgotten about? It does happen more than I should admit, and I would hate to scare the Hermes man in a pair of pyjama bottoms so baggy they give off MC Hammer vibes.

To tackle this problem, one of my go-to's for perfect pyjamas and loungewear is ASOS's petite section. There's a great choice of styles that are comfortable, fit perfect and make you feel fab. You won't get much done on these gorgeous pieces on a Sunday - you'll be too busy trying to get the perfect Instagram shot to show them off!

In my hope to persuade you, I've included some of my favourites from my Christmas wishlist below..

See what I mean? 

I've also included my absolute favourite lounge set, a grey marl jersey set with lace detailing down the sleeves and legs. The legs also feature cuffs to the ankles, which for me is always an absolute winner in pyjamas or lounge bottoms as I find them far more flattering than loose fitting pants.

So, if you're like me and struggling to find petite pyjamas that make you feel fab for bed, and hadn't already checked out ASOS, go have a look!

Christmas is fast approaching, and if you're anything like me, you've got a dozen meals, parties and work events to get dressed up for.

There's also usually the issue of how dressy these events are - a ball gown is too much, but trousers are most likely too casual.. Are sequins appropriate, it is Christmas after all? Or how high is too high for the heels? So many questions and a lot of stress!

Well, I think I've found the perfect party season piece that can be worn in many ways, for many occasions. 

    

This silver "Midi Flounce" skirt is from Zara and is perfect for Christmas parties and meals alike.

Firstly, the colour is beautiful! And secondly, it's only £29.99, which is a bargain in my opinion.

For my do, I paired the skirt with this pink blouse from ASOS, some Miss Selfridge black and gold heels, and my trusty Mulberry clutch.

However, I do think this can be dressed down slightly with ankle boots (see my next post coming up, featuring some fab velvet ankle boots!), or even worn with flats if you fancy.

You could swap out the blouse for a cami or crop top for something less formal, or add some fur in to ramp up the Christmas vibe.
