Ballet Mockneck Sleeveless Bodysuit in Mauve

I had wanted this bodysuit for a long time and probably read every single review on the Commando website but couldn’t see pictures. The one thing that I was very worried about was transparency but the reviews weren’t very specific about whether the item was transparent or not and I think that’s because if youContinue reading “Ballet Mockneck Sleeveless Bodysuit in Mauve”

Carolyn Flat in Mesh and Patent Leather

SUPER classy flats! They look great with tights too. I love the mesh fabric which is sexy without being over-the-top like of other mesh flats that are so in vogue right now. The point toe shape is also classic and feminine. Easy to slip on as well. Will be a great staple for any workingContinue reading “Carolyn Flat in Mesh and Patent Leather”

O’Keefe Wool-Blend Midi-Dress

I’ve been looking for the Hazel dress and I only realized when I tried it on that it WASN’T the Hazel. This one is called the O’Keefe and I don’t think it looks great. It’s the bustline – the Hazel has more of a sweetheart bust line which feels feminine and more sophisticated. Also, thisContinue reading “O’Keefe Wool-Blend Midi-Dress”

Erine Dress

i quite like this dress! I like the button details although I did the positioning was kind of weird – I thought it would be at the top of the shoulder but they’re unexpectedly lower down. Not necessarily a bad thing, just wasn’t something that I expected. Fabric is pretty nice too and I thoughtContinue reading “Erine Dress”

Chlo Shirt

I’m an existing Chlo lover (have it in dark blue and stripes). I really thought this lace was beautiful but I didn’t like how stiff the fabric was. I honestly felt like I was wearing a tablecloth or something. I couldn’t seem to get the collar to stay down so it looked very 2000s withContinue reading “Chlo Shirt”

Lea Ankle Boot

I popped into the London Bobbies store because I had been bombarded with their ads on Instagram and I was curious. I tried on the Lea ankle boots in Cabernet because I remember seeing these ads and the product pics looked so nice. The first thing i immediately noticed was the crease and that wasContinue reading “Lea Ankle Boot”

Madeline Jersey Wrap-Tie midi Dress

Nice dress but it’s basically stretchy polyester. Something about the bust/waist area didn’t quite work for me and the fabric honestly felt a little cheap. Reiss felt like a much higher quality brand a few years ago but recently I think they’ve really cheaped out on fabrics so I definitely try to be a littleContinue reading “Madeline Jersey Wrap-Tie midi Dress”

Vinette Ribbed Funnel Neck Belted Midi Dress

Very flattering silhouette. I tried it on neutral, got worried about getting it dirty, then tried it on in Mocha, and then decided the Neutral was a better fit for my skin tone. It’s a maxi dress with a funnel neck so it feels like it’s a lot of fabric but with a more form-fittingContinue reading “Vinette Ribbed Funnel Neck Belted Midi Dress”

Short Ruffled Dress

Love this dress! I thought the shape was super flattering. I would probably add another button at the neckline to make it work appropriate because it is a little bit too cleavage-y. I was astonished at the price (more than $450) which I thought was kind of crazy for a Maje dress that was madeContinue reading “Short Ruffled Dress”

Moka Sweetheart Neck Sweater

Putting this top on my wishlist. I didn’t like it enough to buy outright especially at the price ($175 seemed a tad steep for a basic top). I like the sweetheart neckline but it is quite wide so wearing a regular bra might be a challenge. Actually that was part of the reason why I didn’tContinue reading “Moka Sweetheart Neck Sweater”

Maude Rib Knit Top

I wanted a classic short sleeve knit top – nothing complicated. However, something about this fit seemed a little off. I do have fairly broad shoulders but this really didn’t feel like it flattered my upper body. It made my shoulders look really broad and also rounded if that makes sense…? Something just looked ratherContinue reading “Maude Rib Knit Top”

Short Patterned Knit Dress

I ALMOST bit the bullet on this one. I thought the shape was super flattering. Love the square neck and the fabric is thick enough to hide lumps and bumps but stretchy enough that it’s quite comfortable. I also really liked the flared skirt but it was a bit TOO flared, if that makes sense.Continue reading “Short Patterned Knit Dress”
