Other products you might see in this post
South Ocean High-Rise Skinny Jeans: I review them at the very end of this post, but they’ll be included in the sale! I’m wearing a size 00, but they were much too small. I’d probably go with the 0 or 2. (So I’d recommend going with your normal size or one size down. But not two!)
Scalloped Sweater: It’s a favorite and it’s on sale. TTS. I’m wearing a size small here.
Bow Earrings: Definitely my favorite earrings right now. My holes are almost pulled through (#tmi) but they’re SO LIGHT that I can wear them!
Tde. Phone Case: A gift from my aunt for Christmas. I’m crazy about it! It’s navy.
White Boots: Buttery soft leather. TTS. I own them in three colors because I wear them so much!
White Cane Pumps: On crazy sale! TTS. The heel is about 2 inches, for reference.
The try-on
Yesterday, I tried on outerwear, sweaters and dresses. Below, I’m featuring tops, bottoms, shoes, Luxletic, swim, accessories and girls.
My measurements, for reference and sizing purposes:
- Size 34A bra
- Prefer size 25 or 26 jeans
- Prefer size 0 or 2 in pants
- Prefer size 2 or small in tops
- Prefer size 2 or small in coats and jackets
- Height: Between 5’4 and 5’5
- We’re a “no scale” family, but I’m usually somewhere around 115 pounds, give or take some if I’m stressed, busy or tired. 😂
But let’s get started:
Tops
Elsa Top in “Mandevilla Pink New Kids on the Block”
Originally $158 / Sale price: $74
Size shown: S
Size I would normally buy: S
Fit + Overall thoughts: Ahhhh. The Elsa Top! It’s a classic. It’s made of silk, and it’s without a doubt the most flattering top in my closet. It falls perfectly on everyone, and can be worn year-round. It’s also GREAT for preggos. (I simply went up one or two sizes depending on how far along I was.) I can’t recommend this more. I’ve tried the size XS in the past but found it was too tight in the shoulders for my liking, so I always go with a size small and it’s perfect! It’s meant to be flowy, so it looks good even if you get it a little big.
Elsa Top in “High Tide Navy Party in Paradise”
Originally $158 / Sale price: $79
Size shown: S
Size I would normally buy: S
Fit + Overall thoughts: Ditto. Perfection, just in another print.
Florin Sleeveless V-Neck in “Mandevilla Pink New Kids on the Block”
Originally $88 / Sale price: $49
Size shown: S
Size I would normally buy: S
Fit + Overall thoughts: I didn’t know about the Florin top before this try-on, but now I’m in love. It’s a reversible top that allows SO much wear out of one piece… and therefore it’s great for travel. (Two outfits for the price/space of one!) It’s flowy, so I could get away with an XS… but decided on the Small for ultimate comfort. Love how it looks fully or partially tucked into jeans and pants!
Florin Sleeveless V-Neck in “Emerald Isle”
Originally $88 / Sale price: $34
Size shown: S
Size I would normally buy: S
Fit + Overall thoughts: This one reverses to a Kelly green color. Can’t beat that. ;)
Florin Sleeveless V-Neck in “High Tide Navy Party in Paradise”
Originally $88 / Sale price: $49
Size shown: S
Size I would normally buy: S
Fit + Overall thoughts: The printed versions reverse to solid colors, which is really nice!
UPF 50+ Skipper Popover in “High Tide Navy Party in Paradise”
Originally $98 / Sale price: $64
Size shown: S
Size I would normally buy: S
Fit + Overall thoughts: The Skipper Popover is another top that every girl should own. In terms of weight, it’s kind of halfway between a t-shirt and a sweatshirt, making it super versatile. Runs TTS; perhaps a teeny bit big. I’m wearing the small here and I think it’s perfect!
UPF 50+ Skipper Popover in “Bayside Blue Under the Moon”
Originally $98 / Sale price: $64
Size shown: M
Size I would normally buy: S
Fit + Overall thoughts: I went up a size in this one because that’s all I could find, and I needed to tuck it into the back of my jeans in order for it to look okay. If you’re going to size up, only go one size up!
UPF 50+ Skipper Popover in “Mandevilla Pink New Kids on the Block”
Originally $98 / Sale price: $64
Size shown: M
Size I would normally buy: S
Fit + Overall thoughts: Same with this one, but boy do I adore that loud pink print!
Giana Silk Top in “True Navy Seagrass metallic Clip Chiffon”
Originally $178 / Sale price: $74
Size shown: S
Size I would normally buy: S
Fit + Overall thoughts: This was a favorite. It’s not the softest top, but I just can’t get enough of that navy, and the dots aren’t as scratchy as other pieces I’ve tried with the metallic treading. Love this top because it can be dressed up or down; perfect for travel! Runs TTS.
Lana Ray Top in “Prosecco Pink”
Originally $158 / Sale price: $64
Size shown: XS
Size I would normally buy: S
Fit + Overall thoughts: A fancier Elsa?! I love those buttons down the front. I normally would have gone with a small in this top, but the XS was totally fine! So I’d recommend going with your normal size or one size down if you prefer more of a fitted look.
Florin Silk Sleeveless V-Neck in “Iris Blue Moroccan Metallic Clip”
Originally $118 / Sale price: $39
Size shown: S
Size I would normally buy: S
Fit + Overall thoughts: This one was really fun! Fits just like all the other Florin tops, but note that the metallic threading isn’t super soft. Worth it, if you ask me, but just wanted to note that!
Florin Silk Sleeveless V-Neck in “Onyx”
Originally $118 / Sale price: $39
Size shown: S
Size I would normally buy: S
Fit + Overall thoughts: Same here! :)

Bottoms
South Ocean High-Rise Skinny JeansOriginally $148 / Sale price: $49
Size shown: 00 (This is not my size but it was the only pair they had in the store! I would normally wear a size 0 or 2. These were definitely too small!)
Size I would normally buy: 2
Fit: I’ll include these in the pants section tomorrow, but since I wore them in so many photos here, thought I’d review them now as well. I could only find them in a size 00, and they were unfortunately much too small and hurt in the waist area. But so flattering! I think the 0 probably would have been good. So perhaps order your normal size or one size down!
