This Fendi blazer was a recent score at Saks off the 5th.  This is my first designer clothing piece ever and I'm really happy with it. European sizes always confuse and scare me..maybe because I am unfamiliar with them? I was shocked to see that the size 38 fits like a 00 in Theory or a size 2 in H&M.  Not all 38's are the same though. I tried on a couple other size 38's in different designer brands and some run big and long.  This may look like a normal blazer but it's truly gorgeous in real life. The quality is unbelievable and every detail is close to perfect.  When I tried it on, I fell in love instantly. It's one of those pieces that just makes you feel good.  The rounded collar and silhouette fits me like a glove and I adore the sleeves too.

I know the fishtail skirt trend is not for everyone but I think it's ultra feminine and when done right, it can be super flattering.  I found this skirt {item #052947} back in March (see previous post HERE) from the H&M trend collection but I believe it could still be available in some stores.  I like the neutral color and the fish tail isn't so extreme that it makes it impractical to wear.

These were my very first pair of Loubie's and every pair after that have never fit as nicely or comfortably.  I need to get to a shoe cobbler but am nervous leaving my beloved pumps in someone else's hands. It's about time I get them re-soled.
