Femme Luxe

by Liz Heather in


I’ve been especially trying to not buy things from Amazon recently (for a million reasons) and since I still don’t feel incredibly comfortable going into stores (and even if I did, dressing rooms are still closed in most places) I’ve been on the hunt for new places online to find new clothing. I only recently heard about this brand Femme Luxe, so I got a couple of things to see if they were anything special and was pleasantly surprised at how well everything fit and looked. So far, everything I’ve tried has been reasonably priced and pretty great quality. I wouldn’t recommend these specific blank pants (shown below) as summer clothing because you can get pretty hot in them (or maybe that’s just me because I overheat in every kind of weather), but I’m so, so excited to wear these in literally every other season. The sizing is wildly accurate too, I’ve never had pants (that weren’t stretchy) fit me like this before. I’ve only tried two pairs so far, but take a look at the fit. It’s insane.

I meeeean, am I wrong? Even the sweatpants look good.

Sad face = I’m so comfortable I don’t need to exude happiness?

I was a little shocked at how good they looked in real life, especially when things can appear so completely different from how they look online. Also, I guess I truly didn’t know that I could be into tapered pants? I’d always thought they’d make me look even shorter than I already am, but it seems to be having the opposite effect. It’s making me question what other things have I inherently always questioned that could actually look really good. In any case, I’ll definitely be ordering from them again.


Tip - Colour Co-Ordinate Your Closet

The above photo is the current state of my closet today. If that doesn’t look marvelous to you, then don’t read on ‘cause you won’t care about any of what I’m going to say.

Colour coordination is wonderful. I only recently colour co-ordinated my closet and it has helped my daily life immensely. It saves me so much time when I’m trying to figure out what to wear, and it forces me to somehow have a cleaner room, if that makes any sense. Also, when you’re looking for something specific that you have in mind, you’ll find it way quicker if you’re using this method.

Also? Get a hanger for each individual item. Don’t pile on more than two or three or, God forbid, even four items of clothing onto one lone, pathetic little hanger. It’s depressing to do such things, especially when you can afford another goddam hanger. (And if you can’t? Whoa. Stop reading now and fix your life so that you can afford at least one hanger.) Plus, by doing this, you can always see what you have. I have a million things I never used to wear because I COULDN’T SEE THEM. And now? No more. I’m wearing all kinds of shit I’ve never worn in years and it’s fantastic. Also, invest in those hangers specifically made for skirts/pants. They’re wonderful. You are not better than them, they are better than you. And you feel like a full fledged adult when you have all this stuff taken care of.

Also, if you have those hangers that are slippery - put rubber bands around the ends of both sides so that if you have a dress or something silk hanging on it, the straps won’t slip right off. Like this. (This idea I got from the site Real Simple.)
