Hi, Friends! Today I’ll be sharing my recent experience trying Short Story, a petite subscription box styling service. Short Story is a women led styling service brand that focuses on helping women who are 5’4″ and under find clothes that will make them feel and look their very best petite self!
I was always hesitant to try personal styling services simply because I was convinced the items, especially dresses and pants, would not work for me. When I found out Short Story was created specifically for petite women I couldn’t wait to try it!
How Does it Work?
The process is incredibly easy! You’ll start by taking the Short Story style quiz to let them know your style preferences, sizes, and budget. Based on your responses, a personal style expert will curate your box with 5 handpicked high quality pieces. Your box will be shipped to you and you’ll have 5 days to decide which pieces you’d like to keep and which ones you’d like to send back, with shipping and returns being free. The styling fee for your Short Story box is $25 and this will be used as a credit towards any items that you wish to keep.
What Did I Get in My Short Story Box?
I was really impressed with the pieces my Short Story stylist picked for me! My box included a top, a pair of jeans, and three dresses. The best part is I can wear all of the pieces to work or dress them down for when I’m outside of the office.
Floral Print Dress
I’ll start with my favorite piece in the box- this adorable floral print dress! I could live in dresses like this and boots the entire Fall season. The fit is super comfortable and flowy, and the length is perfect!

Tie Waist Denim Dress
Next up is this cute tie waist denim dress. The material of this dress is very high quality and super soft! I styled it here with knee high boots, but it would also look cute with a pair of booties. The length is a little too long on me, so this is the only item from my box I’ll be sending back.

Twist Front Top and Good American Girlfriend Jeans
This top and jeans are the perfect ingredients for a casual weekend outfit! The top can also be dressed up for work with a pair of black pants and flats.
I was excited to see that my stylist included a pair of Good American jeans in my box! I’ve wanted to try their jeans for awhile. These are a comfortable, flattering straight leg jean that’s perfect to take into the Fall season.

V-neck Soft Ponte Dress
The last piece included in my box is this great little black dress! The material is thick enough that it’s not see through, plus it’s incredibly flattering and comfortable. It also makes a great little work dress because of the length- not too long, not too short!
