The trouser are size 40/ US 8 and I’m 5’9.5. Wore these to work this week. They are lined & have a great winter weight drape to them.

Teo Jacket
Sized down to a 2. I debated this one for a long time! Definitely runs large, a size 2 still gives me plenty of room to layer. I loveeee the color (Lilac Orchid) and it’s very soft and warm. Slight itch factor but not enough to bother me, especially as a layering piece. For referenceContinue reading “Teo Jacket”
Lisa Blouse
Very cute, love the details and it’s not too sheer. Sized down to prevent it looking too boxy since it’s a bit wider and with a puff on the shoulder that can make me look very broad. For reference i am 5’3, 130lbs, 34C; usually a S/size4/27 in denim.
Laure Skirt
Peter and Laure skirts, both in a size 6. Love them. Both seem like quality pieces that work on their own or over tights. Also on the short side though! For reference i am 5’3, 130lbs, 34C; usually a S/size4/27 in denim.

Nicia Dress
Size 2- so happy this came off the waitlist! Not for everyone but I love it. It’s a a playful piece that you can have fun with layering. Very soft and warm. A bit short so may not work for taller wearers. I am wearing it over the Lisa Blouse. For reference i am 5’3,Continue reading “Nicia Dress”
Dune Skirt
I sized up to a 6 on this one because I just had a baby. I LOVE the Dune skirts. Beautifully flowy and twirly. In terms of the Dune skirt’s pleats: they actually hold up really well! Mine have been washed a few times each and I haven’t pressed anything yet. They don’t really wrinkleContinue reading “Dune Skirt”
Nathalia Jumper
Nathalia Jumpers in Ice Blue and Bottle Green. Both XS. Love the detail and overall design but the blue one especially feels quite thin. It’s a slightly different composition than the green, which is a little thicker and softer. Kept it because I love the color but prefer the feel of the green. For referenceContinue reading “Nathalia Jumper”
Short Sleeve Midi Dress Square Neck Contrasting Dress
Loooove this dress! The belt is adjustable and the design is gorgeous. The only negative is I’m small-chested and I do think that someone who’s a little curvier on the top might fill it out better. Also, there’s no stretch. Stunning dress!
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”
BBL Seamless Reversible Sports Bra in charcoal
Love it! The hole on the bottom is cute. I haven’t worn it the other way yet. Size S is good and snug, and I could see size M working out as well, just a bit looser and maybe slightly more comfortable. I have noticed that buffbunny bras and leggings are a bit on theContinue reading “BBL Seamless Reversible Sports Bra in charcoal”
Vuori stripe daily legging
Color Ink Stripe. Love Vuori leggings in general and love this one as well! Super comfortable for lounging or wearing out. I have too many leggings but none striped so I had to get this.
Carla Boot
They are wonderful! Somewhat loose in the toe but sizing down would be too tight. Vera Cuoio on the sole, 100% leather. They came with temporary bottoms for the sole but I will be taking them to the cobbler to get protection added which the website said would be necessary. The color is amazing. BurgundyContinue reading “Carla Boot”
Patent leather pumps
These shoes make my feet look reminiscent of a platypus…. The toe box is very stiff and wide feet made it very uncomfortable.
Clyde Trench Coat
I’m usually a 38 in Sézane tops (UK 10 US 6). I got it in a 38 and it’s very roomy; I did consider exchanging it for a 36 but I’m glad I kept it. I’m looking forward to wearing thick sweaters underneath it without feeling like a little sausage crammed into a casing.ALLY Shoes,8,$325,5’5-5’6Continue reading “Clyde Trench Coat”
Amiel Jumper
For reference- 5’3, about 130lbs, 34C, usually a US size 4/small/27 or 28 in denim depending on the brand. Also really enjoying this piece, especially the color. I first got the Amiel in the charcoal gray color and tried both the S and XS. I prefer the XS on me, the small would look aContinue reading “Amiel Jumper”
