Layers Long Sleeve Tee
Good top but color not for me
I ordered this top in a M in truffle, after reading prior reviews. I am currently 8 months pregnant, 34DD, and a M was a good size--it would also work non-pregnant since it is so stretchy. I did not have an issue with the sleeves or length since they scrunch up nicely--and I'm only 5'3". My issue with this top is the color. The truffle is darker in person and just kind of dull and not good for me. I would definitely order this top again in a better color--but right now none of the colors available in medium are appealing to me. It is a little sheer but not bad with a good skintone bra, I'm not sure how this top would be in lighter colors however.

The Boyfriend Jeans
Ordered wrong size...
I was looking to replace another pair of CE boyfriend in size 26 which had fallen apart, and decided to try a 25 since that pair had gotten a little loose on me over time. Unfortunately the 25 was more fitted in the legs than I wanted. For reference, I am normally a 27 in jeans so these do run big. I have a pair of AG boyfriend jeans, size 27, which are more fitted and flattering, but these CEs look better a little looser on me. More boyish body types will probably want to go 2 sizes down, otherwise if you're curvy one size is probably good. The holes on these are not too big which is nice, they are just like the picture. I will probably reorder in 26 next time there is a sale.

The Boyfriend Shorts
cute shorts
These are cute, and fit true to C/E sizing which is a little bigger than most. I ended up returning them because I felt they were a little too expensive for what they were, and I wasn't sure if I really wanted white cutoffs on my currently pregnant body. I ended up buying a pair of old Levis and cutting them off myself, which had the same fit and look at a much cheaper price. If you want white these are cute, and at their current price they are a much better deal. I think I ordered a 27 since I usually take 26 in C/E and I thought they'd fit me longer pregnant and I could always wear them with a belt later.

Very Light Jersey V Neck Tee
Great basic tee
I ordered about 10 items from Shopbop during a sale and this was the only one I decided to keep. I ordered a small and a medium, and while the small fit me probably how it was supposed to, I preferred the look of the medium...it reminded me of the worn out old men's t-shirts I used to wear and love as a kid. Unfortunately they don't make those like they used to! The small was not especially fitted on me (I have a 34DD bust), but it looked like the photo. It's easy to find a fitted tee that looks good, but it's hard to find a loose one that holds up...and I'm pregnant so I thought it might fit me better in a medium through the summer. My only caveat is the price...but it helped getting it on sale.

Ex Boyfriend Crop Jeans
Very cute boyfriend jeans
I ordered these jeans because I wanted a more fitted boyfriend style, but fitted and cropped is not always flattering on me since I'm short and curvy, and I was concerned I would end up with the stumpy look mentioned by a prior reviewer. Shopbop's generous return policy gave me the freedom to try them out. These were very flattering because they are not too tight in the legs, even though the hip area is fitted. I found they did gap a little in the back, but not so badly as to be unflattering. They are much stiffer than most jeans these days since they don't have any spandex, but that's kind of nice, since they are less likely to stretch and lost their shape. I ordered a 27, my usual size, and at first I thought they might be too small, but after I wore them for a few minutes I realized they were fine, the fabric is just stiffer than I'm used to. I just wish they were a little cheaper.

The Boyfriend Jeans
Cutest boyfriend jeans
I love this pair of jeans. They do run large by at least one size and stretch out during wear, so if you want them loose go down one size, and if you are looking for a more fitted look go down two. I am normally a 27 and my 26's are very loose on me--they look best with a belt. I find I wear these more during the summer months with sandals, but I still wear them occasionally during colder weather cuffed just to the top of my engineer boots, or if it's not too frigid with ankle boots or heels. They are very soft and comfortable, and I may eventually order a pair in a 25 so I have the option of a more fitted look. I got mine for less than half of full price at another site, so there are better prices out there.

3 Layer Fringe Boots
Cute and comfortable boot
I am not usually into a boho style but something about these shoes spoke to me. I used to only wear high heels but now I'm a stay at home mom so I need more practical footwear, and I thought they would dress up a simple outfit of jeans or leggings and a top. They did not disappoint. They really are very cute and comfortable, and they also have a slimming effect because of the width of the fringe, and unlike most flats they make my feet look small. I am an 8.5 usually, so I tried an 8 and a 9, and kept the 8. I was initially concerned because they appeared very narrow and my foot is a little wide, but the suede sort of expands to fit. My heel was slipping out of the 9. They are like wearing slippers, so they could use a little more padding and I wish the color did not transfer onto my clothes, but I just wear a long black sock with any clothes I am concerned about. They add a lot of style for the price, and they are not too boho when worn with simple clothes.

915 Super Skinny Legging Jeans
Classic jegging
I have these in the pitch, they are a very fitted true-to-size. I don't hand wash mine but I don't wash my jeans very often in general since I want them to last! The pockets in front are not functional...but I think this helps the front lay better on these. If you are expecting denim-weight order another pair, they are a very light twill, but warm probably due to the fabrication with some polyester. When I first got them I wasn't too sure about them, partly because of the fabric and partly because they are very fitted, and while I love skinny jeans I was not sure if the "jegging" look was right for me. I like them more when I wear them with a more voluminous top, and with boots or lower heels, because I have a curvy body type and I tend to look a little too va-va-voom if I wear them like the model in the picture. I'm sure lankier types would look great in them with anything.

Runs big
I needed a nice lightweight summer sweater that wasn't black, and this fit the bill. I had been eyeing the Joie Ambra sweater but it was only available in large and much more expensive than this. This was only available in x-small and I'm usually a small but after looking at the photo and reading prior reviews I thought an x-small would fit more like I wanted it to anyway and I was correct. The fabric is very pretty with a little more luster in real life. Good gamble to purchase on the final sale.

Bettina Flat Sandals
Cute but not really adjustable
These are cute but made my feet look a little long. The ankle strap is not really adjustable since only one of the straps has an adjustment and the other one warps underneath it when it is tightened. If you have small to medium ankles you should be fine, but if they are very slim or large these may not work. I ordered the teal which is a bright, pretty color. I thought about red but thought it might look wrong with my kelly green handbag. These should be cute for casual outfits in the summer.
