I’m 5’5 and I usually wear size 0 / pants size 25. Sezane silk tops first got me hooked on the brand. My first love is their beautiful Chlo top in a dark green color. I loved it so much that I went ahead and purchased the navy blue version of it too. What reallyContinue reading “Chlo Shirt”

Kennard Quilted Long Hooded Coat
My first purchase from Barbour and I couldn’t be more pleased. I needed a transition coat and I’m chronically cold so I wanted something light that would also keep me warm. I actually walked into the store and was browsing at the waxed jackets (lovely but totally not my style) and then I saw thisContinue reading “Kennard Quilted Long Hooded Coat”

Chlo Shirt
US 2 / 34. Unsure about this one. Leaning towards sending this one back as I may struggle to find places to wear it… but it is lovely! It is see through – I just tried it on with the bra I was wearing. I think it needs a nude cami though.Sezane,2,$125,5’5-5’6 5’5-5’6,Button-Down Shirt,French Brands,SizeContinue reading “Chlo Shirt”
Naella Skirt
Naella Skirt in Natural – I sized up to an S. The one thing to note on the length is that I’m 5’5 and this is about as short as I would be comfortable with so something to keep in mind for the taller ladies.

Dunya Skirt
Wearing a US 2 (my usual size) and I’m 5’5. I stalked this style for a restock! You could wear this skirt all four seasons. It’s almost like a crepe-y feel but is also lined. I will wear in winter with thick tights and boots but also in summer with Paula Babies and bare legs.Continue reading “Dunya Skirt”
Cap Toe Ballet Flat
Finally, my best shoe purchase for this fall! These cap toe ballet flats by Tory Burch! These ballet flats are eeeverything! The leather is so soft and smooth, and the color is so lovely. It was my first Tory Burch purchase so I was able to use the discount code for signing up. I’d triedContinue reading “Cap Toe Ballet Flat”
Medium Ava Strap Bag with Fringes in Suede Calfskin Brown
10/10. I went to the store in Paris and as soon as I put it on, I HAD to have it! Including photos so you can see how the fringe looks IRL. Note – I’m wearing the bag as short as it’ll go but there are snaps so you can adjust the length. Love it!Celine,n/a,,5’7-5’8Continue reading “Medium Ava Strap Bag with Fringes in Suede Calfskin Brown”
Dual Material Long Sleeve Dress
I LOVE this dress. I’ve been lusting after it for awhile now and then I somehow convinced myself that work clothes are investments, not frivolous purchases. I got a size M, my usual size in Sandro (if it helps, I’m 36ish bust, 29ish waist, 38ish hips). This dress is actually wrap style and there areContinue reading “Dual Material Long Sleeve Dress”
Diana Small Tote Bag
A fantastic workhorse bag for the office! It’s a good size, not too heavy but not the lightest either. You can wear over shoulder with the strap, although I would say the straps are a tad short to wear crossbody style. Highly recommend!Gucci,n/a,,5’3-5’4 5’3-5’4,n/a Uncategorized
Emily pussy-bow chiffon maxi dress
The quality is amazing and the fit was better than I expected. The color looks amazing in person too! Bought this in conjunction with the Charlotte burgundy dress from the same brand. Was worried the length would be too long (just shy of 5’3) but it works!IRIS & INK,4,,5’3-5’4 4,5’3-5’4 Uncategorized
Charlotte pleated Lyocell-blend midi shirt dress
I’ve just discovered The Outnet (designer garments at a heavy discount?? where has this been all my life?!) and bought this shirt dress and another maxi dress from their Iris & Ink brand. I had the sudden urge to buy burgundy clothes and this is the exact color I’ve been looking for! I got theContinue reading “Charlotte pleated Lyocell-blend midi shirt dress”
Mini Arco Tote Bag
It’s very very light and fits a lot. I had a candy arco tote (even smaller than the mini) but it had quality issues and switched it with the mini tote. I use it as my travel handbag because it’s so roomy ? It holds its shape when it’s handheld, it’s not slouchy like aContinue reading “Mini Arco Tote Bag”
Selma Dress
Received my Selma dress today. I love it. It’s too nice to wear to work but think I will wear it to work anyway. In terms of height – I’m 168cm. It’s the perfect length.Sezane,6,$260,5’5-5’6 5’5-5’6,Dress,French Brands,Size 6 All Reviews,Sezane

Harper Dress
5’5” 36 bust, 29 waist, 39 hips. I’m usually a US 6 or 8 in Sezane clothes. The fabric is not very forgiving – it shows every little bump. But strangely it’s not clingy at all. Definitely need nude coloured underwear for the ecru colour too.Sezane,M,$225,5’5-5’6 5’5-5’6,Dress,French Brands,Size M All Reviews,Sezane
Nicia Dress
For reference, I am 5’1.5”, and between size US 4-6 (36-38) for the top and US 10-12 (42-44) for bottoms. Pristine white Shona Blouse with Nicia Dress- Shona Blouse is a beautiful white and not stiff at all and can be worn as a formal attire with an equally perfect bottom. I am wearing aContinue reading “Nicia Dress”
Gabin Dress
Quality vs. Sezane: They use a lot of the same synthetic materials like polyester and viscose but they don’t have as many natural materials as Sezane, like silk and cotton. I do think the quality of Sezane pieces is a bit better but the style of Rouje pieces are really lovely. I have a hardContinue reading “Gabin Dress”
