Happy Tuesday, y'all!
So a few weeks ago, Femme Luxe reached out to me offering me four free pieces to try out and write a post about (so yes, this is actually sponsored — WILD). Now, y'all know me. I dress preppy to basic most of the time, so Femme Luxe is a bit out of my comfort zone, but I thought, why not? And I'm happy I did. I scrolled through their available items for bloggers (a more paired down list than their website) and picked four items: the
black velvet tie-front bodycon mini dress, the
black belted high neck ribbed bodycon mini dress, the
black ribbed off the shoulder crop top, and the
black 'honey' oversized t-shirt.
Now Femme Luxe is a British clothing company that ships to the U.S., so be aware of that if you decide to purchase something — it'll probably take a little longer than other retailers. But it reminds me of other fast fashion sites with lots of discounts, trendy pieces, etc. I will say everything seems to run small and be for a certain body type. Plus, it leans toward
loungewear (which we love) and going out items (which I'm hoping we get to wear sometime soon). For my ladies more in my size range, you might struggle a little with the sizing — I certainly did. But their oversized
T shirts and loungewear seemed to be where it was at for me, personally. Obviously, everyone’s body type is different.
Let’s talk about each item individually.
By far, my favorite piece that I got because it fit me perfectly (I got XL US) and the quality is really nice. I don’t see it fading anytime soon! I like the way it hits, and it could be worn with leggings for a really casual look or with jeans like I have it for a fun day out or even with a skirt to really dress it up. Plus, the font is very me. All I can think when I wear it is “uh-huh honey” and I love that.
A quick s/o to my roommate for taking these photos!
I had really high hopes for this one, I got a size 12 U.S. (the biggest size on the site), and it didn’t fit my body at all, but the quality is really nice, the fabric isn’t too scratchy which I really appreciate. The tie in the front is an interesting twist...I might modify it and cut it off, but that’s me personally. It’s definitely meant for hitting the clubs, and it absolutely does the job.
I really like this dress. It’s too short for me to wear (I got size 8 U.S., biggest on the site) and put on this blog, but I like its look. The high neck and long sleeves make it a bit sexier because it has some imagination to it. The belt could easily come off if you aren’t feeling it and it has the cross cut in the front that makes you want to always wear granny panties with it...but yet again, for clubbing, it’s perfect!
I had really high hopes for this one, but I’m going to be completely honest, I hated it. I am not the girl to wear a crop top, but I thought maybe with the way it looked on the model. However, it fit smaller than a swimsuit (I got size 12 U.S., the largest size). It didn’t even cover my boobs y’all...and that’s a real problem for me. But I love the way it looks, so for my less busty readers, I say go for it, in every color.
Overall, I like the products, I don’t think the more trendy/clubbing clothes are meant for my size, but the loungewear is where it is at. I will say I didn’t return anything because I read many a review that said it was difficult and in a global pandemic, I have no interest in doing that. These clothes will find homes with my best friends who will fit into them much better...but the adorable Honey shirt is staying with me.
Will y’all be trying Femme Luxe in the future? — xoxo darling, Hayden
