The “New Lady” is one of the hottest AW13 trends that works for petites with its grown up femininity and sharp silhouette. This means that modest midi skirts, figure-hugging jackets and fitted dresses are back in business. They are all easy to find in petite sizes and will last you for many seasons! Add some sex appeal with frivolous silk tops, feminine bags and elegant heels.
