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”
Amelia Button-Down Shirt in White
Fun fact – I have never worn a button-down shirt in about 10 years. They always gape at the chest and tends to be very boxy and masculine. I really liked the neckline of this one since it doesn’t have a button at the top and it gives a very feminine vibe. I tried onContinue reading “Amelia Button-Down Shirt in White”
Laurent Embroidered Blouse
Oh this blouse is a work of art! Obviously meant to be worn with a camisole underneath but I wasn’t bothered when trying in the fitting room. The detailed embroidery is so pretty and delicate. Ended up not getting it because it felt a bit “out there” for the office. I got the S whichContinue reading “Laurent Embroidered Blouse”
Truman Mini Skirt
Super cute mini skirt! Was a little worried that the length would be too short but I actually think it’s pretty workable. I ended up not getting it because I already have another skirt that’s quite similar and at almost $400, didn’t think it was necessary. There’s no stretch but it’s pretty true to size.Continue reading “Truman Mini Skirt”
Suzette Blouse
First time shopping from this brand. I have to say, I’m a total sucker for puffed sleeves and this brand has oh so many! Fabric is nice and light and the sleeves aren’t ridiculously over-the-top. Great for spring/summer with denim or shorts. Will definitely get more summer staples from them. I usually wear a 4Continue reading “Suzette Blouse”
Ava Blouse
I’ve been eyeing this brand for some time now. I specifically saw this blouse on an ad and thought it was beautiful. Still think it’s beautiful but teh main problem that I had was it was super see-through. Granted, probably should’ve tried with a nude bra but given just how thin the fabric is andContinue reading “Ava Blouse”
Michelle
I had never bought anything from Bobbies but was recommended by a friend. I saw the brand pic of these and immediately ordered them. I waited with such anticipation that when I opened the box, talk about disappointment! They were so much clunkier and … inelegant than what the product picture suggested. The block heelContinue reading “Michelle”
Tyler Silk Blouse
L’Agence has their signature silk blouses in the most whimsical, fun prints. The shape is lovely. The only thing that bothered me is that it felt quite sheer (probably should not wear a black bra when trying on blouses! A nude bra was probably the better choice). This was one of many prints they haveContinue reading “Tyler Silk Blouse”
Brooke Open-Front Blazer
OK, I’m totally in love. I think I may have found the perfect blazer! This has the exact feminine shape that I’ve been searching for. I love that it gives you that sort of cinched look instead of the boxy menswear style that seems to be so in vogue. I got a size 6 –Continue reading “Brooke Open-Front Blazer”
Pull Jynx in Black
Just a standard black top. I liked the details on it but the fabric didn’t feel particularly great. I liked the buttons, the boat neck, the lines… But for $325, I would rather buy something on sale at Sandro and Maje which has similarly lovely details but can be had for much cheaper. Looks likeContinue reading “Pull Jynx in Black”
Domi Midi Skirt
I got a 36 which I think translates to a Small. This was a weird one. I could see what they were trying to do with the asymmetry but it turned out to be just a really awkward length on me. Also, the fabric quality was really thin and cheap-feeling. Definitely didn’t feel like aContinue reading “Domi Midi Skirt”
Dalenda Midi Skirt
This is definitely not really my kind of style but I thought the print was beautiful. Very eye-catching. I also loved the fabric-covered buttons and the slit which was a very lovely feminine touch. However, it’s 100% viscose and it definitely doesn’t feel like the best quality. I also didn’t love it enough at thisContinue reading “Dalenda Midi Skirt”
