Great classic dress for the office. I prefer more form-fitting items so I love this style. I’m between and S and M and got the S (29 waist, 38 hips) and it fits well. It’s super comfortable and great with a blazer on top. Fabric has plenty of stretch too. This brand can be quiteContinue reading “Turtleneck Knit Midi Dress”

Leo Coat
I had been looking for a transitional coat for a while and thought that the Leo coat would be a good fit. When I saw that it was out of stock I tried to get it on Vinted but the price was too high for second hand. So when I saw it restocked for halfContinue reading “Leo Coat”
Alosoft Suns Out Onesie
I’m almost too embarassed to post this. I felt so naked when wearing this, I cannot imagine wearing this to the gym to work out nor could I picture myself running errands and doing anything in the general public in such attire. I believe you cannot wear underwear as my “seamless” undies were still visible.Continue reading “Alosoft Suns Out Onesie”
Ditsy Floral Dress
I LOVE THIS DRESS! It is so chic and classy, especially with a belt. This is definitely a keeper. The two things I will note is that the fabric feels kind of cheap and also, it is super short. I have to be careful not to flash my butt to everyone and I’m not particularlyContinue reading “Ditsy Floral Dress”
Lace Mini Shirt Dress
Oh goodness me… This is totally not what it looked like on the model. The dress shape on the model definitely looked like it had more of a flare whereas the dress IRL really didn’t have much of a shape or silhouette. It looked like a limp mermaid. Something about the trim on the bottomContinue reading “Lace Mini Shirt Dress”
Graciej High Waisted Belted Tapered Cargo Jumpsuit
Jumpsuits are always tricky but this one was definitely not a good fit for me. For starters, the fabric felt super cheap. It’s some kind of cheap poly. You could see the outline of pockets too which I don’t like (just makes it look like cheap fabric). The shape was fine but between the cheapContinue reading “Graciej High Waisted Belted Tapered Cargo Jumpsuit”
Mia Knit Skater Dress with Collar
I normally love skater dresses but this one was kind of weird. The flare part was super exaggerated and I thought it wasn’t really flattering. Combined with the collar, it looked like a modernist frump. Pass for me.Ted Baker,4,,5’5-5’6 4,5’5-5’6 Uncategorized
Hillder Delicate Pointelle Knit Dress
Trying to upgrade some of my work items. I generally like fit and flare but something about this makes me feel matronly. I think perhaps the chest/decolletage area has too much fabric maybe? Just didn’t like it was super flattering. I usually wear 4/6 and I tried on a 6.Ted Baker,4,,5’5-5’6 5’5-5’6,British Brands,Dress,Size 4 TedContinue reading “Hillder Delicate Pointelle Knit Dress”
Lillyyy Fitted Peplum Top
This looked like a fairly classic top but it was a bit much for me. I think the peplum made my waist look wider and and the flare was too … peplum-y? I generally think that these styles tend to look better on those who have really hourglass figures or really slender.Ted Baker,4,,5’5-5’6 4,5’5-5’6 Uncategorized
High Waist Break Line Jogger
These definitely run really big. I’m M in the Airlift Leggings so I tried on the M and it was just way too big, especially at the waist. Definitely comfortable though and I can see the vibe that they were trying to go for. I think in the proper size with a sleek tank topContinue reading “High Waist Break Line Jogger”
Miranda Faux Leather Midi Dress
Oh my gosh, i love this dress! The vegan leather is truly buttery soft and it felt so lovely on the skin! I don’t think I’ve ever tried vegan leather that is this soft and comfy. I thought the silhouette is also very flattering. Only problem is that it’s a halter so sadly I can’tContinue reading “Miranda Faux Leather Midi Dress”
Chara Vegan Leather Party Dress
OK, I call this the attack of the spiral boobies. I remember seeing this on an Instagram ad and immediately added to cart but I’m glad I didn’t! I’m wearing a size 6 which is my usual size for fancier brands. The fabric just felt … cheap? I’m not sure I like the vegan leatherContinue reading “Chara Vegan Leather Party Dress”
Ellis Tweed Box Pleat Dress
Hmmm… Trying to pinpoint exactly what I don’t like about this dress. The fabric is really lovely actually. The tweed is a pretty decent medium-weight fabric and it feels well constructed. I think it’s that the bodice just doesn’t seem to have a lot of shape. Or rather, it definitely looks better on the modelContinue reading “Ellis Tweed Box Pleat Dress”
Amelia Button-Down Shirt
I submitted a review previously for the same shirt in white (I got that one in a size 4 because I was worried the shirt would be too transparent). I loved the style and basically wanted the same style in whatever colors it comes in. Turns out it only comes in white and brown/white stripes.Continue reading “Amelia Button-Down Shirt”
Crepe Knit Split Skirt
Amazing column skirt! I love the slit on the side which makes it just sexy enough. The brand is known for its crepe knit fabric. It’s an almost scuba-like material but is thick enough that it hides all lumps and bumps and holds you in. No VPLs either which is great. The one downside isContinue reading “Crepe Knit Split Skirt”
Kori Blouse
This is a beautiful blouse, if a little low cut. I didn’t get it because of that but the fabric is so slinky and gorgeous and I love how feminine it is. i might change my mind on this blouse. I didn’t expect to love it as much as I did! It’s a pretty looseContinue reading “Kori Blouse”
Zip Back Scuba Pant
I love these pants but there’s no way I can wear these to my office which errs on the more conservative side. I actually thought they were quite flattering with the seam on the side. It’s got plenty of stretch and the zip in the back instead of buttons. I also like that the fabricContinue reading “Zip Back Scuba Pant”
Miller Dickey Jacket
I’ve been on the lookout for a proper blazer for the office. I’ve tried a bunch of different styles but haven’t bit the bullet yet. Nevertheless, when I tried this one on, there’s definitely a wow factor. It is incredibly beautifully made and doesn’t make me look boxy at all (I have pretty wide shouldersContinue reading “Miller Dickey Jacket”
