Rag & Bone/JEAN
The Jackson V Tee
Larger & a bit See-Through in White
Nice basic T, material isn't too thin or thick. Yet a bit too see-through in White for my wardrobe purposes.
Also runs a bit longer (I'm 5'7"), ideally should be tucked in.
Sizing: Larger than Expected

Bobo Top
Nice top, yet Overpriced
Loose, over-sized fit & soft, thin, stretchy material make this top very comfortable. However, the grey material is not the quality I expected for the price, and, unfortunately, leaves a lot to be desired.
The sleeves are a bit tight and quite thick with no give, yet super cool looking, and resemble knight armor.
Overall a nice, casual top; yet quite overpriced at full $.
Sizing: Larger than Expected

Velvet
Mick Button Down Shirt
Wide & See-through
Gauze-like material is nice for hot weather, but this shirt is cut so wide, it was not flattering at all (and I like loose, usually). It looks much wider & boxier than it does on the model.
It's also very see-through; it would require a tank to be worn underneath.
Additionally, the buttons are sewn very close to the edge, therefore, gaping between buttons & exposing my bra.
Might be good as a cover-up for the beach.
It's a return for me.

Ancient Greek Sandals
Medea Flat Thong Sandals
For Very Narrow Ankles
1 Star for the strap in the back; 4.5 stars for the Shoe itself.
Problem: strap in the back is way too short. When buckled on the last hole, the top of the shoe digs into the skin. Huge overlook on designer's part. If it were longer by two holes, I'd give these sandals 4.5 Stars.
I do not have thick ankles. In fact, my ankles are quite thin, and I usually I find straps too large. Surprisingly these straps are very, very short. Adding an additional hole would not help much, and the strap is mounted to the shoe.
The soles, with the exception of the rubber under the heels, are quite hard with no padding. These sandals would hurt your feet after a lot of walking, so they're perfect for back-yard parties, or a casual affair where not much walking is involved.
The leather is very soft, the gold wing buckle is stunning, and the sandals look really great on.
If you have really tiny ankles, I say go for it!
It's a return for me. Unfortunately.

Marc by Marc Jacobs
Phoebe Top
Runs 1 Size Larger
Size Small fits like a Medium. Much too wide all around. Can't get away with wearing it as just a loose top.
Otherwise a nice, casual top. Material is not too thin, nor thick. Swings nicely. Would be great for daily errands, or under a cute jacket for office/evening.
Took off a star for mis-sizing.
Unfortunately not available in XS.
It's a return for me.

Call Me Molly Top
Thicker Material for Fall; Not Loose
Material is quite thick & a bit rugged-not fit for hot & humid Chicago summers. Lovely top for Autumn.
Fits true to size, but not a loose top (as it appears on the model).
I'm a size Small. This top is looser around the waist, yet it clings to my hips too much for my liking (I'm 5'7"). Ordering up a size might not work for me; it would be too bulky due to the material & the boxy cut.
Depends on a height/torso/hip ratio. I believe it would look lovely on someone more petite.
I would not suggest buying when it's on final sale (non-returnable) without trying it on first.
Lovely collar & sleeves.

Wildfox
Sunshine Rose Tee
Runs Larger, Looser & Longer
Runs quite loose, at least 1 size larger. I would suggest ordering down, and it'll still be a loose top. And sleeve openings expose the bra. It's quite long too-too long for me not to tuck in (I'm 5'7").
I'm going to order down, and see how a smaller size fits.
Otherwise a lovely, soft, not see-through material; lovely detail on the sleeves. I'd like to make it work.
Sizing: Larger than Expected

Nation LTD
Sunset Tee
Runs Loose, Long & See-Through
Top runs Loose, including wide sleeve openings, which expose your bra from the sides.
Also, it's see-through.
It's a return for me-I'm tired of see-through tops, which I have to layer during the heat & humidity of summer. I just want a breezy 1 piece top to keep me cool. And I already have enough beach tops/cover-ups.
Otherwise it's a nice top, very soft material, nice detail on the shoulders, and lovely color-just as seen on the model.
Sizing: Larger than Expected

Splendid
Polka Dot Pocket Tee
Tight Cut, Cheap Material
The top in White is very tight. I usually order size Small, and I would need at least a Medium for it to look on me as it does on the model.
The material is cheap, and it looks it; the kind that you know will shrink a size, or more, after washing. Even if professionally dry cleaned/pressed, it wrinkles quite a bit. Just a poor choice of material.
Sizing: Smaller than Expected

Candela
Ziggy Lace Blouse
Runs Short; more of a Petite Length
My Rating of 3 Stars ("Average") is due it the top being too short to comfortably tuck into a skirt/pair of pants, as shown on the model; considering we're shopping on line, and cannot see the item before purchasing.
I'm 5'7", and could barely tuck the blouse into a pair of regular rise jeans. One movement, and it starts coming untucked. It's too shapeless & wide to wear untucked.
So it really should have been labeled as 'Petite'. It would look lovely on someone a bit shorter.
It's a lovely blouse overall, nice light material. I love the sleeves.
