Background: I’ve been recently obsessed with pleated skirts. I love how feminine and girly they are without sacrificing chic. However, is it my body type or is it how I’m styling it but they never look great on me! I’m thinking maybe something with an elastic waistband is just not flattering on my stomach. MaybeContinue reading “Marlie Ombre-Print Pleated Woven Maxi Skirt”

Forever Belted Longline Mac
Background: I was (and currently still) in need of a great spring/fall coat. I absolutely loved this coat but it was hard for me to stomach such a big purchase without trying on at least a number of other styles but this one is still definitely in the running. FIT: I tried on the USContinue reading “Forever Belted Longline Mac”
Wild Chamomile Print Fit and Flare Dress
Background: I was constantly bombarded with ads for Me + Em – funny thing is, the Instagram algorithm really works because the aesthetic is definitely up my alley. I would have this loop of adding things to cart, especially items that were on sale, get to the check out and then chicken out because I’veContinue reading “Wild Chamomile Print Fit and Flare Dress”
Alison Tie Waist Skirt
Purchased for $114 (originally $290). This was one of my back to office purchases and I have to say, it’s become a real staple. I probably reach for it at least once a week or every two weeks. It’s made of a nice, slinky fabric. There’s a pretty sexy slit up the left but becauseContinue reading “Alison Tie Waist Skirt”
Elyse Lace Trim Dress

Note – at the time, I was looking for “office appropriate” dresses, and at first blush I thought this dress could work. However, as soon as I put itContinue reading “Elyse Lace Trim Dress”

Background: I was about to start my new finance job and after five years of not working in a corporate office, I was desperate for formal work clothes. I had never bought anything from Ted Baker before but I browsed the site and felt like they wereContinue reading “Puff Sleeve Dress with Engineered Skirt”
Harriet Ladder Trim Flippy Dress
$330 original but paid $150 in the store. Purchased on August 2022; reviewed on February 2023. TLDR: It was spring 2022. I had just spent the last few years in the startup world working from home, and then almost unexpectedly, I got a job offer to finally go back to corporate America in a “realContinue reading “Harriet Ladder Trim Flippy Dress”
Phoebe Jersey Rollneck Top
Orignally $70. Purchased on February 2023; reviewed on February 2023. TLDR: A chic black turtleneck has long been on my to-buy list: who doesn’t want to tap into their inner Parisienne? It’s been long on my list and I finally saw a basic black turtleneck on the Reiss website during the winter sale. It wasContinue reading “Phoebe Jersey Rollneck Top”
