Blazer: H&M - size 2
Shoes: Calvin Klein *runs small*- size 5 (buy here)
Purse: Rebecca Minkoff MAB mini (buy here)
Measurements:
Waist = 11.5" laying flat across
Hips = 14.5"
Length in back = 19"
Length in front = 16.5"
This is one of my favorite finds. It's so adorable and runs super tiny. It gives you the illusion of curves which is always a plus when you have smaller hips. I love the neutral light beige color and I was shocked to finally see something in my size in the Trend collection. The only downside is that it's unlined and quite pricey. The positive side is that it's made out of a thicker ponte material that is super comfortable and is doesn't wrinkle easily. The light color will be hard not to spill and you have to choose your panties carefully because you will see underwear lines. Since this skirt runs so small, ladies who are more modest may have to size up.
Verdict: Keeping

Clutch: Vintage Coach
Measurements:
Waist = 11 3/4" laying flat across
Hips = 15.5"

I was drawn to this skirt immediately due to the thick material and pretty color combo of tan and mint. I love how high waisted and fitted it is but the length is a just a bit too long. I would like it to hit right at the knees. The price is steep but the quality makes up for it. It has a 60's mod type vibe and I love the mint polka dots.
Verdict: Keeping and hemming the length about 1-1.5" shorter
H&M dolman cropped zippered jacket - size 2 (item #058645) $59.95
I've been looking for a jacket in this color for Spring and Summer that is light and non-blazer like. This style is very unique and has an edgy feel to it. The fit is very wide but I like that I can layer it without it being bulky. I am un-sure if this jacket is worth the price tag of $59.95 but I'm going to try pairing it with other outfits to see how much I like it.
Verdict: Undecided...should I hold out for something better? (It's probably hard to tell from my pics)
H&M black ponte pencil dress - size 2 (item #059894) $49.95
Shoes: Corso Como Quilted Pumps - size 4.5 (buy here)
Measurements:
Shoulders = 12.5"
Waist = 10 3/4" laying flat across
Hips = 12 3/4"
Length = 38"
I love how fitted this dress is but the dolman sleeves and armpit area is so strange. Not sure what to do with it. I've wanted a simple black pencil dress with sleeves for a long time since all my black dresses are sleeveless. I love the front pleat detail and I can wear this to work and out to dinner. It's got a very elegant and chic feel to it and not to mention- super comfortable. Although completely unlined, I don't mind it since the ponte material is very thick. The length is a bit long and needs to come up to where it hits my knees.
Verdict: Keeping and hemming the length
