Pretty in pink - bought it!
I don't usually wear pink, but I loved this! Very flattering, tailored nicely so it has more shape than some shift dresses. It is probably more suited to an athletic or pear shape (it is more roomy down bottom than on top) and is short-ish if your on the taller side. It has some purple tones in there too (so it doesn't feel too "Barbie" or "Elle Woods"). Also, important fact - it has POCKETS! The buy price was an absolute steal... so I couldn't resist :)

Elegant, good for hot summer days!
I enjoyed wearing this skirt at the height of summer - it's very airy without being flyaway or too thin. The waistband has plenty of room and it naturally sat on my hips, although I clipped it so that it would sit a bit higher. (If you have a small waist, consider sizing down.)

Psychedelic camels for the win
Everyone loves the pattern - lots of compliments! Heavy fabric (but still medium warmth ECA use it is fairly loose). If you are between sizes, I would recommend sizing down rather than up. It was super cheap to buy... so I did!

Bought it - best holiday sweater!
Great quality, comfortable, flattering with either jean or leggings, walks the line between everyday sweater and holiday novelty sweater. True to size or slightly large - if you want a very snug fit then maybe size down, but I think a slightly longer/looser fit looks better.

Embracing the tie dye trend!
Classic RTR value proposition - I would not drop serious $ on this trend, but I've had so much fun trying it out! This skirt is medium weight, true to size, definitely a pinkish tinge rather than pure white in the B&W marble. Very comfortable and easy to wear, can be dressed up or down.

If you're trying to decide whether to do this dress... YOLO, just do it! Great quality, more forgiving than you'd expect, own it, #girlboss etc. You'll only regret the Herve you didn't rent ;)

Weekday tropical - 5 stars!
Flattering, easy to wear, just enough tropical vibes to feel fun as the weather warms up (but not to the point it becomes too casual for a normal workday). Worn with another RTR piece (also by VINCE).

Ideal for date night!
Lovely deep green color, nicely tailored, dramatic neckline - 5 stars! Even at this price, I'm tempted to buy it... It is snug fitting and revealing, so you may want to size up if you are in between. (It fit me like a glove, but there is not much margin for error, so if you are ordering this for a special occasion then consider getting a backup as well!)

Too wide, too short
I'm a big fan of cropped sweaters but this one was not the right proportions for me. It was too wide on the waist (/rib) line to be cute as a cropped sweater, but too short to work as a more relaxed, lounge-y fit. Might be better for ladies with a shorter torso and bigger bust than me!

Loved it so much I bought it!
This silk wrap top is elegant, comfortable and very flattering. Beautiful design and silk fabric. Just makes a day of video calls that much better... I wore it about 5 times and still loved it, so I bought it :)

Nice silk top for zoom meetings
Pretty pattern, lovely silk fabric, comfortable to wear - great for zoom meetings! I've only given it 4 stars for two reasons: (1) the elasticated waist was a bit strange, and (2) the mid-pink color was a bit difficult to match with other items.

Great quality, perfect for après ski!
A great addition to my ski trip wardrobe - very comfortable, warm and fun to wear. Goes well with leggings, and worn under a big coat. Fits true to size - the medium was a "comfortable" fit on me (not too tight). Note - it is definitely more suitable for après ski (rather than skiing itself). Would recommend a more athletic fabric/style for the actual skiing part!

Unique marbled pattern, people kept asking where I found it!
Such a cool pattern, looks like a berry swirl ice cream! Super fun to wear and an instant mood booster in the cold weather. It is a fairly thin fabric (I.e. not that warm on its own), so I would recommend wearing it as a base layer under another sweater/coat. The size Medium was a good fit on me, but not skin tight - I would say it is true to size.

Warm, great quality, functional
This is an excellent, functional ski jacket - I've worn it for long ski days in 10-15F (+ wind chill) and it performed really well. (For a $1400 jacket, you would certainly hope so!) I sized up to the 8, which was the right decision because I wanted to fit a base layer and a vest under it.

Eye-catching style, high quality fabric
This dress got a lot of attention! It is form fitting (works great for curves) and the fabric is thick and good quality (which makes it more flattering than you might otherwise expect). I got away with wearing it to work, because I toned down with dark stockings and boots (and also chose the Medium which was slightly looser on my frame). Next time, I might try the Small and wear it with heels to a party (when we are allowed to have parties again...!).

Cool oversized sweater, very soft and snuggly!
I love this sweater - beautiful quality and design, and the wool is very soft. I sometimes find wool scratchy but this is fine to wear directly against my skin. I received it just in time for the first cold day and I think I might be wearing it all winter!! (It is quite warm in its own, but could layer over/under for super cold days.) I'm usually a 6 and I'm glad that I sized down to a small (2-4), because it is still roomy and oversized.

Felt like Shrek's little sister...
Headline says it all - not quite the glamorous winter party look I was going for... haha! I was hoping this would be more soft and wrap-like, but it felt quite rigid and broad shouldered (and like something out of the costume box). I looked a bit ridiculous in it, so I didn't wear it. If, on the other hand, you are looking for something to top off your Halloween outfit...

Flattering and fun - great "TGIF" dress that you can wear to the office then out afterwards!
This was the perfect "Friday" dress - fun but still appropriate for work (toned down with boots and a cardigan), then able to be dressed up for Friday night! It is true to size and reasonably forgiving, and the colors work surprisingly well for a pale complexion. As other reviewers said, the gold "pops" a bit more than you expect, but on a dull/drizzly/cold day it made me so happy and got lots of compliments! (Might feel strange on a really sunny day.)

Wanted to love it... but too boxy
I really wanted to love this, but the combination of the boxiness and the pattern was too much for me! The fabric was beautiful, and such a cool design, but it just didn't work for my figure and I sort of got lost in it somehow. (However if you like the boxy/oversized/loose-hanging look on top, this might work well for you!)

Cute and versatile, slightly different color/texture to what is pictured
This was a fun bag that was surprisingly versatile (more than I expected, given its green color). It seems pretty new and is in great condition. A couple of points to note: - The pictures make it look like suede, but it is actually normal leather. I liked this finish/color, but just be aware if you were expecting suede... - The clasp is hard to fasten with one hand, which can be annoying if you are juggling a few things and need to quickly open and close.

Almost cute, but fit was a bit strange
I really wanted to love this, but I found the top too tight and the skirt too loose (and the skirt material was also a bit crinkled / maybe I should have ironed it?). I didn't end up finding an occasion to wear it out, but I think it could work well for a more pear-shaped figure for a summer brunch or beach party,

Great dress, comfortable, runs VERY large!
I am usually a size 6-8 and I originally rented the size 4, but it was still too big so I swapped it for the size 2. The size 2 fits me perfectly and I love the style/pattern - it is very versatile (suitable for work but I would also wear it out to a party or dinner). I really don't want to give it back, so I might even buy it :)

Flattering shape and fabric, memorable pattern!
I felt fabulous in this dress - the color/pattern really pops, and it is more comfortable and easier to wear than it looks. I'm usually a S-M and the M was very work appropriate, but might consider renting the S later for a party for some serious body con curves! Note - I'm fairly tall (5'7 or 5'8) but I still needed 3 inch chunky heels to balance out the proportions... just something to be aware of if you are shorter/don't wear heels.
