I love this blouse! The color, the fabric covered buttons…. So utterly gorgeous. Unfortunately I really don’t wear a lot of color so I didn’t think this was something I would consistently reach for in my closet. I did try to see if they had the same style in a more neutral color but theContinue reading “Silk Winter Floral Print Blouse”

Silk Little Squares Print Blouse
Ah, I realized after I tried it on that I got the wrong size! No wonder my boobs look like they’re in the wrong spot. It’s a really nice shirt, fantastic fabric, and I love all the little frills and details. Me + Em generally runs true to size for me and I think the sizeContinue reading “Silk Little Squares Print Blouse”
Lace Cropped Shirt + Cami
I saw one of the store assistants wear this shirt and she made it look so fabulous! I didn’t like it on me at all however. It felt very prim and proper, a bit too buttoned up and “school librarian”. I love the details individually (the cuffs, the collar, the lace, the bells sleeves\0 butContinue reading “Lace Cropped Shirt + Cami”
Contrast Panel Fit and Flare Maxi Dress
Mmmm NOPE. My streak of no-good Me+Em maxi dresses continues! Really nice fabric, which this brand is known for, but I always think that this brand is really made for long and lean body shapes. I’m 5’5ish so not super tall and something about the shoulder area kind of bothered me. I felt like itContinue reading “Contrast Panel Fit and Flare Maxi Dress”
Travel Tailoring Swing Top
Can’t figure out what it is but something is just a tad off. It looks rather frumpy on me although maybe it’s because I paired with the culottes so it just looks odd. Maybe with skinny jeans or some sort of streamlined bottom it would look better…? Not sure but not for me. I’m wearingContinue reading “Travel Tailoring Swing Top”
Travel Tailoring Shirt Collar Swing Top
To be honest, not a fan. I think the swing silhouette isn’t really for me – I like having more fitted styles especially around the waist which is most flattering for me. I also don’t like that my so-called t-shirt bra is still visible. Fabric is nice, I’m wearing my usual size (size 4). JustContinue reading “Travel Tailoring Shirt Collar Swing Top”
Fine Pointelle Knit Maxi Dress
I thought this dress was really nice but it was hard to see what occasion I would wear this at. I would imagine this could be really nice resortwear perhaps but I didn’t think I could pull it off. I definitely think this hews to the Me + Em ethos of you kind of haveContinue reading “Fine Pointelle Knit Maxi Dress”
Trellis Floral Print Midi Dress + Belt
Oh. No. Just no. I feel like you have to be very long and lean to pull this off. I look like I’m wearing a highly elaborate Amish nightgown. The collar conceptually looks cool but it looks puerile on me. The print is really beautiful, however, I truly struggle how one can pay $500 forContinue reading “Trellis Floral Print Midi Dress + Belt”
Travel Tailoring Ponte Culotte
I’m not a pants person but I wanted to try these on and I loved it! They’re elastic so super comfortable. I generally struggle with pants and their length but I actually love this look. The reason why I ended up not getting these is because I don’t quite have the right tops to pullContinue reading “Travel Tailoring Ponte Culotte”
Ginko Leaf Print Short Swing Dress + Belt
OK, I’m IN LOVE with this shape. You can wear in two ways, with the tie as a belt or bow. The only reason I didn’t buy it is because I wasn’t in love with the print. It’s just not me but the shape is 100% me! I asked the SA if they had moreContinue reading “Ginko Leaf Print Short Swing Dress + Belt”
Cheesecloth Shirred Maxi Shirt Dress
This dress is one of those that look great on tall lanky women. I don’t know if it’s my height or body shape but I just felt like a peasant who’s about to go churn butter. Definitely not my style! Having said that, the fabric is really nice – it’s a heavy/medium weight fabric andContinue reading “Cheesecloth Shirred Maxi Shirt Dress”
Cotton-Blend Fringe Trim Midi Dress
I just looked this up on the brand website and it looks totally different on the model! It looks like it’s supposed to be slightly A-line which it definitely isn’t for me. Although caveat: I usually wear size 4 in this brand but I couldn’t zip this up all the way. I definitely needed toContinue reading “Cotton-Blend Fringe Trim Midi Dress”
Silk-Blend Devoré Confetti Print Blouse
I swung by the new ME + EM store in NYC. I was excited to see all the fabulous prints that the brand is known for but they had just opened up two days ago so the inventory was somewhat limited. This blouse looked like watercolor and of course I had to try it on.Continue reading “Silk-Blend Devoré Confetti Print Blouse”
Chambray Shirred Waist Maxi Dress
I love the concept behind this dress – it looks like the perfect spring/summer weekend dress as you chase around your kids. I think this kind of dress looks really flattering on women who are long and lean. When you’re 5’6 and 135lbs, it doesn’t quite have the same effect. I think if the necklineContinue reading “Chambray Shirred Waist Maxi Dress”
Cotton Breton 3/4 Sleeve Frill Jumper
I’ve had this sweater for no less than a month now and I have worn it essentially every weekend! It’s the perfect casual sweater to pair with jeans. I would also wear it with a pencil skirt to the office. True to the brand, the quality is really excellent. I’ve tried Breton tops from LaContinue reading “Cotton Breton 3/4 Sleeve Frill Jumper”
Work Lab Tailored Slim Crop Trouser Suit
I’ve been in dire need of work pants for awhile. I saw these pants at the Me + Em store and thought why not? I got a size 6 (for reference, my hips are 39.5″; I usually wear a size 4 on top and dresses, and usually size 6 in pants). These didn’t really workContinue reading “Work Lab Tailored Slim Crop Trouser Suit”
Ponte Scallop Trim Fit + Flare Dress
Background: I saw this dress in the store and it was definitely a very “on-brand” style for me. I think I probably should’ve sized up and it might have worked but the store was seriously packed and I didn’t love it enough to be bothered. I loved that the store had everyone from teens shoppingContinue reading “Ponte Scallop Trim Fit + Flare Dress”
Forever Belted Longline Mac
Background: I was (and currently still) in need of a great spring/fall coat. I absolutely loved this coat but it was hard for me to stomach such a big purchase without trying on at least a number of other styles but this one is still definitely in the running. FIT: I tried on the USContinue reading “Forever Belted Longline Mac”
