Othello Cardigan in Light Pink. Easy! Love this one and all my Othello cardigans. They’re soft, warm, and beautiful. I find them easy to dress up or down. Would love to see these in some bolder/jewel tones one day. For reference- 5’3, about 130lbs, 34C, usually a US size 4/small/27 or 28 in denim

Cream Boucle Mini Jacket Dress
My first Self Portrait purchase! I was a little nervous as I got this on sale and I had never tried this brand before. The design is pretty true to the product image except I didn’t realize how sparkly it was in person! I took some close ups of the fabric so you can seeContinue reading “Cream Boucle Mini Jacket Dress”
Remy Knee Boot
My yearly purchase of Remy boots during the sale is complete, this is my third color 😭 As an NYC girlie who does a lot of walking but also has a really low tolerance for heels, these are the most perfect comfortable everyday boot imo. If you have been on the fence about them IContinue reading “Remy Knee Boot”
High-Waist Pinstripe Zip It Flare Legging
Usually a size XS but I sized down to XXS based on comments that these run large. XXS fits perfectly! Except for the length, way too long but fine with boots. Material seems stretchy thick and strong, and there is a zipper on each leg opening although I don’t see myself unzipping it. Love theContinue reading “High-Waist Pinstripe Zip It Flare Legging”
Carla Low Waist Skirt
I’m 5’3, 26 inch waist, 34B cup, hourglass figure. In case anyone else wants to know how short it is here is a picture. Size 2. I felt it was too short for my comfort level, so I returned it.
Iryna Dress
I got it in both blue and black. I’m 5’3, 26 inch waist, 34B cup, hourglass figure. In case anyone else wants to know how short it is when I sit, here is a picture. I like it. Size 2. I like the adjustable straps.
Auguste Trousers
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.
Peter 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”
