This was so helpful! I never quite trust brand PDP photos since there's a lot of adjusting/pinning behind the scenes and samples tend to be used. I loved the enormous collar blouse, and agree with you and your husband that the Becca jacket is a wow.
That's why I love going into stores so much and I think part of the reason I'm such a slow shopper. It's a double edged sword because now I want too much 😅
I really love the one you scored!! The details around the collar are incredible. Also manifesting Becca makes into my closet.
I love your try-on series so much! A nice bonus is that I’m pretty sure we wear a similar size, so it’s even more helpful to see how everything fits on you :)
Also, not related, but I’m so intrigued by your husband’s style — he seems to have such great taste based on his comments and the pieces you borrow from his closet 👀 I’d love a post about him to get some inspo for mine (who’s more of an “I’ll wear whatever you tell me to and not ask any questions” type) lol
Thank you, Ariane !! It is definitely a nice bonus for sure :)
I've been casually actually working on a newsletter about some style notes about him. I'll see if he's up for me taking photos of his outfits and making a newsletter about that or combining the two. Thank you for the idea!! 🥰
I genuinely love this series so much. Seeing clothes on real people, whose taste I appreciate, is so helpful. Your hubby's jacket is a dream and I need it asap lol. Can't wait to go into the APC store when I'm there!
Thank you, Sana!! It's so fun to do these too. I discover so much about the brand and I get a good idea for their sizing. You definitely should! If you haven't added Soeur to your list, please do! Their winter items - especially their coats are so so good.
What is amazing is I’ve been SEARCHING for a leather (not suede) dark green tote that’s not blue green but a true darker warm green and the one you tried on, the Vera bag has a dark green color and it’s so gorgeous. I knew your posts would have something! Thank you for posting your great finds. Now to save up! 🤞
Music to my ears !! Thank you, Thien-An!! Definitely keep an eye on it because that exact color is on sale on their French site. I'm wondering if the sale will cross over to the US site soon.
Ofelia, the Becca jacket and Lucy blazer look stunning on you!! I love your Try-On series so much, especially since they're of brands that I'm not too familiar with when it comes to sizing. I can't wait to see what you finally decide to get from there! x
I remember walking around Copenhagen and APC stopped me dead in my tracks with their window styling. I am so glad you did this try on because I’m officially stalking the jackets on their website. I think my favorite is the cropped Marc Jacobs jacket which is now living on my wishlist!!
They are so good and I just love that a lot of their pieces can be worn as unisex. Constantly on a mission to get my husband to buy more so I can steal them !!
I love the Ondine shirt!!!!!!!!! I didn't know too much about A.P.C. prior to reading this, I'm quite intruiged! Especially after I saw (I think in Emily Grady Dodge's post) their "Grace Small Bag" -- Gorg!
Aaah this is so good, Ofelia! My APC Grace mini bag is hands down my most worn bag. As in, ever. Loved the boyfriend shirt on you and I've been lusting over the Marc Jacobs collab since the campaign pictures are such a dream. Will stop by APC in Amsterdam on Sunday, too. I have my eyes on the Virginie box bag in the mini size. Have you had a chance if it might scratch easily? x
She's beautiful and it's a great choice !! I want to see what you end up trying on. I loved their collab and the story behind it all. I believe the Virginie box is a a cowhide so it's a bit thicker than Grace, so it might scratch about the same or less. It also depends on the color. What color are you considering?
Thank you for taking us with you shopping!!! A.P.C. is moving to the front of my brain more and more… taking up a lot of real estate haha. This scratched the itch!!
Anytime !! I really love what A.P.C. has been doing for a while. Their pieces are thoughtfully created and crafted to last a lifetime. Their origin story is also fascinating !!

Slow shopping is great! And you're so thoughtful in everything that you add to your closet, plus sharing your husband's - it's a great place to be in!
It is, I've come to appreciate it :)
I only wish I could fit into his jeans! He has two corduroy pants that I'm so jealous of.

Those are two of my favorite pieces! I also really love the purse, it fitting a laptop is a huge plus. Unfortunately, I want everything! 😅
Felt like I just went shopping with a girlfriend! This was the best, and I especially loved the Fabrizio Zippé Jacket.
I really want my husband to get that one, because I don't need another denim jacket and I feel like it doesn't count if he gets it.
It totally doesn’t count. That’s just fashion math.
thank you for validating me!
anytime ;)
This is my favorite series!! Feels like we're shopping together. I love the blazer and the suede purse. Both going on my wishlist!! Xx
i'd love to twin with you !!
Those unisex jackets are incredible. I love the red collar! What a fun try on sesh. There’s nothing like shopping IRL!!
The fit is what my oversized dreams are made of !! It was also fun to learn about the connection/friendship with Marc Jacobs.

That's one of the most common purses I see on Parisians :)
PARISANS ARE SO COOL 💗
