Punxsutawney Phil may have seen his shadow this Groundhog’s Day, but that’s not stopping me from getting a head start on myspring wardrobe. However, it’s not always easy curating picks for my wardrobe that can fit my curvy andpetite frame.

Early Spring Petite Clothing Picks Under $35

Free Assembly Patchwork Ankle Jeans

Walmart

$26 at Walmart

These new jeans have my preferred light-to-medium wash blend for transitioning from winter to spring fashion. They’re also adorned with a patchwork design, and their ankle-length inseam makes them ideal for petite shoppers, like myself. Easily pair them with a flowy blouse, zip-up jacket, or denim shirt to create a classic Canadian tuxedo look.

Time and Tru Open-Front Cardigan

$15 at Walmart

This cardigan comes in various spring-ready hues, like coral and oatmeal, and has a relaxed open fit that’s easy to layer over tops, dresses, and jumpsuits. It’s made from soft, breathable fabric and has nearly 1,000 perfect ratings, including one from a 5’1” shopper who loved it so much, they bought it in several different colors.

Scoop Satin V-Neck Mini Dress

$40$30 at Walmart

I already know this new V-neck mini dress is bound to become a staple in my spring wardrobe. I am a fan of its ruched waist, floral design, and crinkle satin fabric that makes it look delicate and flowy. This piece can easily be dressed up or down for brunch, parties, errand runs, and more. It can also be purchased as an LBD and will likely hit my frame at the knees since it’s a mini dress, making it appropriate for more formal occasions.

$8 at Walmart

I can’t decide between mocha, pink, and white for this tee, so I’ll likely get all three. The wardrobe staple has a slightly baggy but polished fit and is lightweight and flowy, per one 5’3” reviewer. It’s a quintessential tee for layering and wearing on its own with jeans, sweatpants, and skirts. Plus it’s quite the steal at only $8.
