I'm 5'1" and 105 lbs. Finding clothes can be quite tricky for us small gals.
For nicer, more business oriented clothes, Ann Taylor is THE place to go. Their sizes go down to 00. That's where I started buying my slacks after Petite Sophisticate closed its doors.
You can often find gems at places like Forever 21, Charlotte Russe, and Wet Seal, but often times it's real hit-or-miss. Try it on before you buy it. If you have an H&M in your area, hit that up because when I did live near an H&M, I found some really great stuff that fit me.
I find that Old Navy's sizes run huuuuuuuuuuge. It wasn't that way a few years ago, sadly, because sometimes you can find cute stuff. If you're under a size 4 or 6 (which is their size 0), you're probably not going to find much. Same with the Limited.

I definately agree about Anne Taylor. They have some really nice things and they have the smaller sizes
I completely forgot about them.
Arden B. has some really nice things as well, but they're a bit on the pricey side in my opinion. However, they're amazing quality. Everything I've bought has held up through trillions of washes (despite the fact that the shirt said dry clean only... who dry cleans a 100% polyester top without beading?) and they all still look brand new. I had a few white shirts and a few black, and neither color has faded
I sound like an ad now haha.
I found that skinny jeans looked really bad on me... So if you're a "curvy skinny girl" you might want to head the other direction lol.

I do this a lot... long tank tops for layers are in too. can put a longer one that goes down past your hips on top, and a slightly shorter one on top of a diff color (i usually like white on top of a color), which puts a nice stripe of color around your hips.

For skirts and tops go to Abercrombie kids. Buckle is great for jeans. My daughter is 5.5 nad 103lbs and Lucky Brand jeans fit her great. They have so many different sizes, cuts, and rises. Also Citizens for Humanity and soem J Brand jeans. I think if you get 98% or 99% cotton but not 100% you get a better fit. You get a nice fit without that strtching out and then look baggy thing. A lot more companies are starting to put out XS & XXS in tops and that helps a lot. I think it's about time that companies are finally realizing that there are smaller girls and larger girls out there who want style also and that not everyone fits into whatever they say is average.

Gosh, I'm so glad you guys know how I feel!
I'm super slim (5'2", 85lbs) and living on the Big Island in Hawaii doesn't provide me with many options to go out and shop.
I was checking out some of the companies you guys had posted, but for most it seems that it's an in-store purchase thing only.
If anyone has links for some shopping places online, it'd be much appreciated!
