It's been a while! This time, I'm teaming up with women's clothing brand FEMMELUXE. They sent some pieces of clothing for me to try on and review in this blog post as well as my main social media accounts, where you may find me easily these days (check at @amandasomethingfashion).
So, first of all, I found very difficult to pick just four styles from their website, not because I didn't like them, but mostly because their styles are very tight overall. I felt like I needed to "adapt" their style ideas and outfits to the silhouette I'm most comfortable at. So, my first task when picking the outfits was to discard some black lace bodysuits and corset dresses which were gorgeous, but not my style. Then I decided it would be a nice idea to highlight some of their sexy-tight best-seller looks and pair them in a way that I could feel comfortable wearing these outfits for a going-out evening or a casual event with some friends.
For my first and last look, I chose the same V-neck dress with balloon sleeves in different colors... And sizes. Shame on me. I absolutely lost track of my shopping cart when I realized I had picked the same style, but it actually helped me to realize once the parcel arrived home what's the real difference between their size UK10 and size UK12. As a woman who usually wears an EU size 40-42 (which is equivalent to an average UK 12 or 14, at most, which are also a US 10-12), I realized I totally messed up with the equivalences. So, as FEMMELUXE dresses do really emphasize a clockwork body shape, I must say these two were quite tricky to put on me, but I'm sure that they would fit amazingly if chosen the right size. Next time I'll make sure I don't mess it up. On the other hand, the design is great and I love the neck shape and draping on the bust, and the fabric is super good quality, not being see-through at all.
For the next outfit, I was very hesitant about picking another dress or change drastically to a pair of trousers. I finally put into the chart another dress, but in a more formal style than the previous ones. This is kind of a cocktail dress, with asymmetric neck and just one long sleeve, in color champagne which is really fitting for a club night or any birthday party. The length is great because it's still easy to walk in (don't you hate dresses and skirts that don't allow you to move properly?) and I think the ruched fabric really enhances the figure. I decided to play a little bit with this one, and pair it with a statement velvet headband and high heels for the pictures just to give a slight idea on how it would fit and could be paired. This dress will be my go-to outfit for many coming events, I'm sure of that!
Last, but not least, I ordered something way more casual although super fun for the day-to-day basis. Anyway, I think I could wear it for a girls' night too! It's a white knit T-shirt with ruffled long sleeves, which I loved for this coming Spring. In this inspiration kind-of-outfit-board, I paired it with grey knit trousers but I still have to try it with jeans. I would wear it with a scarf and a cap, and my favorite sneakers to stroll around. I think this white T-shirt from FEMMELUXE is also a nice idea to wear under vests and cami dresses, as the sleeves put some real interest in the whole outfit and make the whole look a statement.
So, would I order anything again at FEMMELUXE? Absolutely YES! Do I recommend it? Indeed. But, make sure you don't mess it up as I did and make sure you measure yourself before ordering your outfit picks! Happy shopping!
