I wear my Lululemon Everywhere Belt Bag well, everywhere. I only wear it across by body. The ideal bag size for me is around 8" X 5". This fits my iPhone, wallet, sunglasses, gum, and lip balm.
Other bags on my radar:

When you have a short torso, cropped sweaters, shirts, and hoodies hit me just about right. For me, that's 15" - 16" measured from the neckline to the bottom hem of the garment.
Alo Yoga's Bae Cropped Hoodie and Muse Hoodie measure 15" in length. These hoodies are meant to fit oversized with sleeves longer than normal. I tend to wear sweatshirts with my hands tucked into my sleeves anyway. Both of these are size extra small and very cute.
I usually avoid heels nowadays in favor of platform sneakers. My favorites are the Nike Air Force 1 Sage Lows and the Puma Cali Wedges.

The Patagonia Micro Puff is a very thin jacket squeezes into one of it's front pockets. It's so thin that it makes me wonder if there is anything in between the quilting. I'm concerned it won't be warm enough on our trip to Custer National Park/Black Hills and the surrounding area, Fall 2023. We're riding on Spyders.
I have this jacket in a small, enough room for a thick hoodie or sweater inside. On the Patagonia site, a 5' 9" model wearing this covers half her bum. On me, it covers most of my bum. (I'm 4' 11" with a short torso.) This coat is so much better in person.

The Patagonia Down Sweater Hoodie is also long on me covering my bum. However, this little guy has a bottom hem cinch which can shorten the length. I wear it both ways. I really like the chest pocket and hoodie.
44 degree day with wind speed of 26 mph (feels-like temp 34 degrees). I was warm with a cotton hoodie inside.
I'm happy to report that I didn't freeze in South Dakota during their first snow of the season. ( I chose the Patagonia Sweater Hoodie for the trip.) We opted not to bring the Spyders so we spent our days (upper 30 degrees F) hiking all over the fantastic parks in the area. The only part of me that was cold were my legs. Too bad Patagonia doesn't make pants for extra sparkies.
