Mmmm NOPE. My streak of no-good Me+Em maxi dresses continues! Really nice fabric, which this brand is known for, but I always think that this brand is really made for long and lean body shapes. I’m 5’5ish so not super tall and something about the shoulder area kind of bothered me. I felt like itContinue reading “Contrast Panel Fit and Flare Maxi Dress”

Short Sequinned Skater Skirt
Very fun skirt. It’s a stiff fabric so it keeps the flare. The elastic is pretty strong so this may not be comfortable for some ladies but it was fine for me. Flattering silhouette but not something I would wear very often. I also feel like I have too many fit/flare skirts in my closetContinue reading “Short Sequinned Skater Skirt”
Silk Shirt with Gathered Collar
Ugh, this shirt felt like a DREAM! Such beautiful fabric, so soft on the body… TOO BAD IT’S TOTALLY SEE-THROUGH! Honestly, I never understand brands that make these shirts that are completely sheer because now I have to go find another tank top that is just as delicate as the shirt. I also think thatContinue reading “Silk Shirt with Gathered Collar”
Short Draped Dress
Nice dress but one of those styles where it’s hard to envision wearing it on many occasions. I like the sheer sleeves and I like that the decolletage area isn’t sheer so it’s a little bit more modest but honestly it just felt too much like a young woman’s party dress. Not something I couldContinue reading “Short Draped Dress”
Maeve Sequin Kick Flare Slip Skirt
Got this skirt for a special occasion and I’m in love! Great for a holiday party or special occasion, and can pair with so many tops. The fabric is quite heavy but it’s still comfortable and easy to sit in. i’m 5’6 to help with the length. Got so many compliments! I’m wearing a sizeContinue reading “Maeve Sequin Kick Flare Slip Skirt”
Faux Leather Midi Skirt
I’ve gotten a lot of ads for this brand and haven’t been able to find a lot of IRL pictures. I got this midi skirt because it looked pretty classic and wearable to the office but I do think it’s kind of pushing it for the office as it is really form fitting. When IContinue reading “Faux Leather Midi Skirt”
Vendome Slingback Leather Pumps
These were a birthday gift to myself. I LOVE these shoes. They’re so sexy and classy. I usually wear a size 7.5 but like I do for all designer shoes, I sized up to 8 (EU 38) just in case. I will say that they’re not the most comfortable. After a few hours in theContinue reading “Vendome Slingback Leather Pumps”
Pleated Tweed Skirt
The Sandro tweed skirt in black. It’s a great pleated skirt that doesn’t make me feel like a school girl, despite the pleat and the length. I’m about 5’5ish so it’s not particularly short on me. Very comfortable, workhorse skirt for the office. I usually oscillate between 4 and 6 for size but i alwaysContinue reading “Pleated Tweed Skirt”
Ismene Dress
Very comfortable and flattering dress. The back has smocking so it’s got plenty of stretch and is quite comfortable. Having said that, the vibe felt quite young and I do feel like this is the kind of style you can really get anywhere for much less. I do like the details like the little rufflesContinue reading “Ismene Dress”
Ingrid Top
To be honest, as soon as I saw myself in the mirror, I thought “French male aristocrat in the 18th century”. I looked up the item on the brand’s website and it looks almost styled like pajamas. I think maybe this would look great on someone who is very long and lean with cigarette pantsContinue reading “Ingrid Top”
Henri Top
This is a top where you can really clearly see the difference between the model and me… It looks so elegant and bohemian in the product pic but I look like I’m playing flower girl dress up. Definitely not my style. Having said that, I do like the ruffle details and the fabric is reallyContinue reading “Henri Top”
Nerida Top
Very cute knit top. It’s a good basic to have. I tried on M where normally I would’ve probably tried S but I think DOEN runs slightly smaller to size in my view. I didn’t get this top because it was pretty see-through and I couldn’t think of an occasion where I would wear aContinue reading “Nerida Top”
Olympe Cuff
I’m so in love. It’s actually not super heavy so definitely wearable for every day wear. I struggled a little bit in the beginning to put it on but once I figured out how to slip it on, it was easy. There’s a bunch of colors available and I’m already eyeing another one. Totally recommendContinue reading “Olympe Cuff”
Fits Everybody Long Slip Dress
do ppl really find this dress to be comfy?? i normally wear m but this one is a large and it wasn’t easy to wear this dress over my head. the fabric is definitely thicker than i would’ve expected at this price so it does hide the lumps and bumps but 1) i felt veryContinue reading “Fits Everybody Long Slip Dress”
Ecru Tennis Skirt
First purchase from Claudie Pierlot. I like the sporty look of the skirt but it definitely wrinkles easily (as is clearly visible in my picture). I tried both the S and M but funnily enough I preferred the flare of the M where it was a little bit more visible. It’s elastic waist too soContinue reading “Ecru Tennis Skirt”
Daniela Silk Dress
Ugh I LOVE THIS DRESS! Such a classic! The fabric was also glorious (silk). This is very high on my potential shopping list for a formal event. True to size and I like that while formfitting, it wasn’t like a clinging dress that shows all the lumps and bumps. It is quite long though soContinue reading “Daniela Silk Dress”
Travel Tailoring Swing Top
Can’t figure out what it is but something is just a tad off. It looks rather frumpy on me although maybe it’s because I paired with the culottes so it just looks odd. Maybe with skinny jeans or some sort of streamlined bottom it would look better…? Not sure but not for me. I’m wearingContinue reading “Travel Tailoring Swing Top”
Travel Tailoring Shirt Collar Swing Top
To be honest, not a fan. I think the swing silhouette isn’t really for me – I like having more fitted styles especially around the waist which is most flattering for me. I also don’t like that my so-called t-shirt bra is still visible. Fabric is nice, I’m wearing my usual size (size 4). JustContinue reading “Travel Tailoring Shirt Collar Swing Top”
