I had originally gotten the long pippa dress, which I found to be too long. I ended up returning it and getting the pippa short dress instead. I’m 5’3” and think the length is perfect (some might find it too short but I usually like my dresses this length). I think it drapes the sameContinue reading “Pippa Dress”

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”
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”
Solitta Dress
Fun concept but it’s kind of see-through even with a lining. I’m 5’3, 110lbs. Usually wear XS/2 in Sezane; will size down to XXS for knits as they run large.Sezane,size 2,,5’3-5’4 5’3-5’4,Dress,French Brands,Size 2 All Reviews,Sezane
Tabata Skirt
Gorgeous print and I just want to keep twirling in it 😅. Probably needs a belt to make it sit higher on my body. I’m 5’3, 110lbs. Usually wear XS/2 for Sezane but will size down for knits to XXS.Sezane,size XS,,5’3-5’4 5’3-5’4,Bottoms,French Brands,Size XS,Skirt All Reviews,Sezane
Felicien Top in Cream + Rome Shorts in Denim
Shirt is great quality! Just need to find a way to make it not fold up. Rome shorts are very thick and stiff but I like the look of them. Not sure if the “ballooning” on the bottom is unflattering for my already bottom-heavy body though. I’m 5’3, 110lbs. Usually size XS/2 in Sezane althoughContinue reading “Felicien Top in Cream + Rome Shorts in Denim”
Pippa Dress
Love how it drapes and the material is softer and thicker than I expected! Wondering if it’s too long on me though. Ordered the short version and will soon see! I’m 5’3, 110lbs. Usually wear XS/2 in Sezane; will do XXS for knits as their knits are pretty oversized.Sezane,size XS,,5’3-5’4 5’3-5’4,Dress,French Brands,Size XS All Reviews,Sezane
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”
