This one was a little odd. I thought it was going to be a wrap shirt dress with a cinched waist which usually is flattering for me. This one was … weird. I didn’t like that that the tie was clearly the arms of a shirt, it just looked a tad bizarre. Sizing is fine,Continue reading “Striped Shirt Dress”

Striped Shirt Dress
Cute dress but there was a weird construction nuance – the top was quite baggy but the skirt in the lower waist area was tight. I think the look like that they were going for was “french tucked shirt and fitted skirt” which is clever but it probably requires a very specific body shape forContinue reading “Striped Shirt Dress”
High-Waist Airlift Legging
i saw some reviews online that disparaged these leggings and these have been a true staple in my closet for the last year! i got these leggings not just to work out but also to wear around the house/errands. i found the fabric to be really durable. i probably wash these leggings in the machineContinue reading “High-Waist Airlift Legging”
Knit Maxi Dress
I was on the fence about this dress. Shape was great, and the knit fabric was lovely – it hugged all the right spots and made me feel sexy but also elegant. However, I think the buttons all the way up to the neck made me feel like a priest. I tried opening the buttonsContinue reading “Knit Maxi Dress”
Matchmaker Mini Dress
Very whimsical. I would totally wear this to a wedding or some other fancy formal event. The bust area might be challenging for smaller ladies because it is kind of hard to fill it out. I was also really surprised to see pockets. Gorgeous dress, perfect for a garden wedding or summer shower or something.Continue reading “Matchmaker Mini Dress”
Waverly Shirt Playsuit
Luxury pajamas. I think that sums up this playsuit. To be fair, the fabric which is 100% silk truly felt like heaven on my skin. It was extremely comfortable and as is Zimmerman’s custom, the print is really a standout. It is quite see-through so definitely don’t wear black underwear. Just FYI, I didn’t findContinue reading “Waverly Shirt Playsuit”
Tranquility Mini Dress
To call this dress stunning does not do it justice. It’s made out of this really beautiful linen fabric with the most glorious print. I really fell in love with it but the price tag and the fact that it’s not really versatile jolted me back to reality. I couldn’t really picture myself wearing thisContinue reading “Tranquility Mini Dress”
Knit Midi Dress
Love the shape of the dress but I think the color is really unforgiving. The drape and fabric are all lovely but you really need have truly seamless undewear and any lumps/bumps are visible. Also, I love that the brand website says “midi” but on my 5’6 frame, it is most definitely a maxi dress.Continue reading “Knit Midi Dress”
Strappy Sandals
I never tried buying shoes from Sandro before but I saw these in the store and as soon as I tried them on, I was done! It comes in white and I tried those on but honestly white just didn’t seem practical for someone who lives in NYC so I settled for black. The lowContinue reading “Strappy Sandals”
Pink Striped Shirt
I knew the design of this shirt was meant to be oversized but I have no idea how to style something like this. Does one tuck it in…? It just felt like I was wearing a massive men’s shirt. This is definitely a pass for me…Maje,size S,,5’5-5’6 5’5-5’6,Size S Maje
Remo Sleeveless Maxi Dress
I love Maje knit dresses so I tried this one on in 34 but I should definitely have sized up. It was figure-hugging, a bit too much actually. I was on the hunt for work clothes but perhaps if I was looking for a fancy night out, this could’ve fit the bill. The sides andContinue reading “Remo Sleeveless Maxi Dress”
High Rise Iaradis Tweed Shorts
These shorts are so fun! And I found them to be super flattering. The zip is on the side and is pretty fitted. I love the button detail. I tried on 38 which was fit perfectly.Maje,size 6,,5’5-5’6 5’5-5’6,Size 6 Maje
Paradisia Jumpsuit
Yes, I know there is absolutely nowhere practical where I would wear something like this. I saw it on the sale rack and just wanted to see how ridiculous it would look on me but it turned out to not be so bad! My problem is that I just have no occasion in which toContinue reading “Paradisia Jumpsuit”
Pleated Skirt in Navy
Oh I loved this skirt. I love the jagged hem and I thought the sheer panels were just so sexy. The waist band is a drawstring type thingie so it’s very comfortable and you can adjust to your waist as needed. And it’s very versatile since you can pair with a t-shirt, blouse, shirt, sweater…Continue reading “Pleated Skirt in Navy”
Short Printed Dress with Shirring
DEFINITELY size up for this dress. I tried it on in the fitting room and it took me about 7 minutes to take it off. Even on, it did feel incredibly tight and uncomfortable. It highlighted my tummy pooch and wasn’t the most flattering fit. In fact, it was sufficiently tight that I felt likeContinue reading “Short Printed Dress with Shirring”
Long Blue Navy Pleated Dress
I’m always on the lookout for a good work dress. I saw this from the front and though it would fit the bill but didn’t realize the back was pretty sheer! Definitely not work friendly… Love the skirt though and there’s a panel in the top half of the skirt so your underwear doesn’t show.Continue reading “Long Blue Navy Pleated Dress”
Isabelle Bag
Very versatile goes with anything. The capacity is pretty generous as far as a purse like this goes. It fits a long wallet, my phone, a small paperback book, a small makeup pouch, and my sunglasses. Saw that a blue one is coming with the drop this Sunday!Sezane,n/a,,5’5-5’6 5’5-5’6,Bag,French Brands All Reviews,Sezane
Vic Dress
Tried 8 in store and it was tight across the ribcage. Bought a 10 off Poshmark and it’s a little loose, but it’s comfortable and very elegant. Love the cut and how you can unbutton to create different looks! It’s polyester BUT it doesn’t wrinkle, which makes it a low maintenance staple piece.Sezane,size 10,,5’5-5’6 5’5-5’6,Dress,FrenchContinue reading “Vic Dress”
