Bop Basics
The Fiance Blazer
Good basic but questionable fabric
I ordered this jacket along with the Tahari Melissa blazer in my hunt for a red blazer. This one fit nicely and is a true, deep red. However, the fabric is quite thin. It arrived rumpled and, worse, the seam on the left arm was already splitting in one place and looked poised to split in other areas as well. Overall, it just seemed too thin and flimsy for me to feel like I would be able to wear it frequently.
Sizing: True to Size / As Expected

Beautiful fabric, odd fit
This shirt definitely runs small. I ordered my standard size 4 and it was very tight across the collar bones, bust and upper arms. However, I declined re-ordering in a larger size because the overall fit just wasn't great. The seam between the top two colors hits RIGHT at the bust line and that's never a good look, in my opinion. At this price point, the fit needs to be impeccable.

Elie Tahari
Melissa Jacket
Fun spring color but...
I felt like a flight attendant from the 1980s in this jacket. I don't know if it was the beige piping or the cut but this was one of those things that is great in theory and just didn't turn out well in execution. Despite the fresh color, it didn't have that modern look I was hoping for at all. Returning.

Tommy Shirt
Fab color blocking but odd fit
I ordered this top in hopes it would be a bright, flowy blouse to pair with my Helmut Lang leather leggings. The colors are indeed great, but the fit on this was so bizarre. I'm typically a straight size 4 (sometimes even a 2 in blouses) so I ordered the 4 in this one but it was extremely tight around the arms and, oddly, through the shoulders and collar bones. Also, the seam between the top two colors (pink and cream) hit me right at the boobs and looked very awkward on. Perhaps in 2 sizes up this would be closer to the effect I want, but I couldn't justify it at this price point.

Gorgeous, substantial lace dress
I ordered this dress in a 6 because it was all that was then available, though I typically take a size 4. This dress definitely runs small--the 6 fit like a glove and the 4 would have been too small! This is a beautiful dress made out of substantial lacy florets--the entire dress itself is quite heavy and fits like a tailored sheath. I bought it to wear for my wedding after I change out of my wedding gown and am deciding whether to keep it or not, the only real downside being the cost given that I will only wear it for an hour or two.

Tory Burch
Eddie Ballet Flats
Comfy TB Flats
I personally find Tory Burch's Eddie flats to be far more comfortable than her emblematic Revas. The leather is softer and I never get blisters. They do, however, run a bit small. I forgot this and need to exchange for 1/2 size up--more room in the toe means higher comfort factor. These are a fun, punchy color for spring and will be a good basic flat in my collection!

Gorgeous Coat in On Trend Color
I tried this coat on in the DVF store and then went back and forth about it before decided to purchase it from Shopbop. I'm thrilled I did. The burgandy color is huge this fall and I like the way this coat is a mix of a blazer and a substantial pea coat--because I live in a mild climate, this style of coat works particularly well and will get lots of wear!

Maja Dress
Beautiful color; weird fit
Kate Middleton wore this dress beautifully on her recent US/Canada tour. I intentionally sized up because DVF dresses often run small for me. The fit was good but something weird happens up at the armpits. I think because the neckline is so high in the front and then dips into a V in the back, it creates this weird collection of extra fabric in the armpit area. It's so extreme that I suspect it was pinned back in the picture shown here. I really wanted to keep this dress because the color is fabulous and the silk feels luscious, but I just couldn't get over the fit issues.

A fab way to ease into the cape trend
I purchased this sweater because I loved the caramel color and it looked so cozy. I didn't really realize how cape-like it was until it arrived but I love it! As someone not quite ready to take the plunge and order a cape to wear as a coat, this is a great way to be on trend but in a slightly more conservative way. I know I'll pair this with black and denim skinnies and tall boots all fall/winter!

Tory Burch
Abitha Flip Flops
A great neutral flop
Love these! They are comfortable and the perfect neutral sandal as they go with everything but offer a dressier and more refined look than your basic Havaina or Reef.
