Must be very lean to wear this
I'm 5'2" and small-framed, but I couldn't pull off this tank. For reference, I'm 99 lbs, 32C bust, 23.5" waist, with a skinny-soft build. I ordered this in a Small, which is one size larger than normal for me, but it still made me look chunky. Here's why: my chest and armpit area are not toned at all -- the top of the tank is "grabby" and pushes inwards like an elastic band, which emphasizes my layer of fat there. It didn't lay flat against the chest like it does on the model...instead, it created a bulge that goes all the way across from armpit to armpit. I would recommend this tank ONLY for women who are extremely lean in the torso and who do not have any softness under the arms.

The O Tee
Cute, fun, basic tee
This is a fun tee with a little graphical interest...great for weekends or when you want to add a casual edge to your outfit. I would describe this as TTS, if not a touch on the roomy side.

Splendid
Drapey Lux Baseball Tee
Casual, flattering, simple top!
Very soft, delicate material that hangs beautifully. Very flattering! TTS. You'll need to wear a black bra or tank underneath.

The perfect everyday necklace
I like to accent my look each day with a bit of an edge, and this delicate little necklace is perfect! I love how subtle it is....you have to look very closely to see that it's a skull. The little crystals give it a touch of girly sparkle and interest. It's so versatile. I will be wearing this every day, either alone or layered with a longer necklace!

Rag & Bone/JEAN
Skinny Jeans
One of my fave Shopbop purchases EVER!
Soft, comfortable, ridiculously flattering! I'm pretty flat back there but these jeans give me a nice round butt! The legs are skinny and tight-fitting without being uncomfortable, and at 5'2" I don't even have to hem them! Technically, they're too long for me but the material is soft and thin enough to scrunch attractively at my ankles (in a non-bulky looking way). The color is a very, very dark wine-burgundy...they'll match with just about any other color. The price is really reasonable given the superior quality and fit. Two thumbs WAY up!!

VERY low cut
This is a beautiful top, but as a petite person the cowl neckline is just way too low for me. If I turn even just slightly, the neckline will shift and expose a boob. I suppose I could've worn a cami underneath, but that would've ruined the line and the "look." Sadly, I had to send it back. For reference, I'm 5'2" and 99 lbs. One last thing -- as with most Helmut Lang jersey tops, the sleeves are quite tight. I have slightly larger arms for my frame. But in general, I would describe this top as TTS...you'd just have to be OK with tighter arms.

Joie
Alessa Loose Knit Sweater
Soft as a cloud!
If you're looking for a super-soft, cozy, neutral colored knit to keep you toasty on cold fall or winter days, THIS IS IT! Finding warm yet non-itchy sweaters is a lot harder than it should be, so I was thrilled when I tried this on and felt the feathery soft material. I plan to pair this with skinnies and ankle boots, or with boyfriend jeans and stilettos. Note that this sweater is boxy and loose, as it appears on the model. I took my usual XS and feel that it gives me that boyishly slouchy, "gamine" look. I also like that this is dry clean OR hand wash (it'll go in the Delicates cycle of my washer, and dry flat). I'll reach for this piece again and again this winter!

SUNDRY
Raglan Tee
BUY THIS!
First, the material is so soft you won't want to take it off! And I like that the material has just a teeny bit more heft to it, than, say, a Splendid t-shirt. It's a bit stretchy and feels very high-quality. Second, the fit is great. I'm normally a XS (5'2", 98-100 lbs) but this shirt in Small fits me really well. I just tuck in the front loosely and it drapes beautifully. It's a little long, but all t-shirts are long on me! My guess is that, because of the bit of stretch, this shirt in Small would fit well on ladies who wear Small AND on those who wear XSmall. Lastly, the color is a nice neutral tannish-grayish color...matches with everything! If they made this tee in other colors, I'd snatch them up in a heartbeat. I wasn't familiar with Sundry before but now I'll be paying more attention to this label!

Current/Elliott
The Infantry Jacket
Adorbs!!!
I love this jacket! It is very Isabel Marant (reminds me a little of the Ulyse jacket), but without the Marant price tag. It's meant to be roomy and oversized, so just get your regular size. It has a slouchy, "effortless cool" look and pairs really well with skinny jeans, ankle boots or wedge sneakers, and long sleeves peeking out from underneath the jacket. It would look cute over a minidress, too! So versatile...which means it'll be a total workhorse in my wardrobe. VERY happy with this purchase!

Rag & Bone
Varick Coat
Better for tall people
I was SO hoping this would work out. I always have a heck of a time finding a coat that fits because at 5'2" and 97-100 pounds (depending on what I had for dinner the night before!), most coats are cut too wide and boxy for me. This is true of the Varick, even in the size 0. It looked like I was playing dress-up in Daddy's closet! If I were just 3-4 inches taller, it could've worked and the boxiness would've come off as "slouchy cool," but with my woeful shrimpiness, it just didn't work. I did love the color -- it looks like a darker military green IRL than in the photos. The material is gorgeous and soft. Like most coats that are longer than hip-length, this style is just not meant for shorties, sorry to say. Sigh.
