This vest is really cute IRL. The front feels really soft, kind of like a microfiber suede material, and the back is a ribbed sweater material. IMO, it runs a little bit big. I'm always a small in tops and this vest is a tiny bit too big - I might reorder in the XS. I kind of want it to be more fitted.
This blouse has gold shimmery threads woven through it. I'm really pleased with it. The wrap fastens with a small button on the inside. The material is a little bit scratchy but it doesn't bother me enough to return it. Oh, and on me, the v-neck is so deep, I'm going to have to wear a cami underneath. I don't know how the model looks so covered-up!
I really love this top - it is just beautiful. The material's a silky modal-cotton type. One thing with this top -- it has a seam running horizontally under the lacy bit in the front which you can't really see online. I have a small chest (32 A, sometimes B) and with the size small top, it was kind of cutting into my chest and it looked funny. I wanted the seam to fall under my chest, and the size medium does that perfectly. So you may want to size up! The material's really thin and clingy anyway, so I'm really glad I got the medium.
Lastly, this top seems less red IRL than in the pic, but it's still cute. Can't wait to layer with this one!
I love all of your purchases but I've been watching this for a while. How does it fit? I'm usually at 4-6 on top and between a S and M. Do you think it runs big?

Yeah, I do think it runs big. It doesn't look the same way on me like it does on her. It does hit my hip at the same place as it does on the model, but if I wear this without a cami, I'll pretty much be exposing myself to the world! Maybe when I get home I'll see if I can adjust the wrap at all so that it covers more. I would suggest that you go with the small, not the medium.
