Santa Fe Wedding
Felt like I nailed the Santa Fe vibes in this dress. Know that it's a heavy material - so much so that I worried the straps would break. Runs a bit big which made the dress a bit shapeless on me. I'm usually a 4 and a 2 (or maybe even a 0) would have been more fitting and flattering in the middle.

Easy breezy boxy
I wore this a handful of times with white jeans but I felt that it made me look larger/wide. The straps were a little loose too. Need to wear a strapless bra with it.

Dinner Jumpsuit
I've been intrigued by the wide leg look so I took the opportunity to rent this jumpsuit. It wasn't as unflattering as I expected on my shorter frame, but it also didn't do anything for me. Wore it to dinner with block heels.

Just not me
I'm 5-2, fluctuate between a 2/4 and this fit great. I was pleased that the maxi wasn't too long. I didn't wind up wearing this because I decided it wasn't my style (a little too much preppy Nantucket vibes).

Classic but Uninteresting
This sweater was fine, nothing special. Just a good basic. A little boxy. It was a little too heavy/thick for the cooler summer nights I was planning on wearing this for.

Wanted it to work
Like that the material is thick and stretchy but I felt like this would look better on a taller and more narrow frame.

Sequins!
More sequins than I imagined from the photo, so it's not as casual as I originally thought. Great for a vacation dinner or night out. Boxy cropped fit.

Perfect for formal spring wedding
Loved this dress. Stunning details and colors. There are some somewhat random spots of black sequins, which is the only thing that initially turned me off when I took the dress out of the bag, but they're subtle. I'm usually closest to a size 4 but the 2 fit better. Didn't have any issues with awkward length (I'm 5-2) or the top gaping, but I wore a strapless bra which might have helped. If you're an A/B the chest may be too large.

Beautiful colors
I'm usually a size 4, but the XS fit me well. Really loved how flattering this was. Appreciated that it also wasn't awkwardly long on my 5'2" frame. Rented this as a backup dress for a wedding. Wound up going with my other dress because I thought it was more appropriate for the venue/time of year, but I will probably rent this one in the future.

Beachy
Stepped out of my comfort zone for these and so glad I did. Wound up purchasing. Perfect for a beach vacation. Didn't wrinkle in the way I expected linen would. I'm on the shorter side and these pants fit like full length pants- not cropped.

Too Long for Petites
I didn't like the look of these shorts. I felt like the length was a little long and frumpy on me. Maybe they'd be more flattering on a taller figure. The S did fit well around my waist, as a typical size 4.

Drab
This dress looked incredibly frumpy on me. For reference, I usually go between a 2 and 4 but the 2 didn't do anything for me. I should also mention that I'm on the shorter side. Maybe this would look better on a tall frame

Great Colors!
I really liked this sweater dress. The material isn't quite form fitting - so this is okay to wear for work. I wore this for an office party with black tights. I'm 5-2 and the dress was a few inches above the knee. The material is a bit thinner than typical sweater dresses so it won't be that forgiving

I usually am between a 2 and 4 but the 2 was way too small. I'd recommend sizing up!

Hard to Style
Comfortable. They blur the lines between businessy and comfort, so I found them a little hard to style. I think it works best if you wear a tighter fitting, tucked in top. I also found the length to be a little strange on me, sitting somewhere between full length and a crop (I'm 5-2).

I loved the versatility of this jacket. Perfect for transitional fall weather (50s). I'd rent again.

Received a lot of compliments on what I called a 'business in the front, party in the back' dress. Very comfortable. Hit right above the knee. Would recommend wearing with a sticky bra.

With a little help of fashion tape...
Great colors on this dress. I wore it twice- to work and a bridal shower. Would recommend using double stick tape to keep the top in place if you're moving around a lot. The dress stays wrapped well otherwise.

Too Small, Didn't Wear
Unfortunately I found this dress to be much too small in the chest. I'm somewhere between a 34B/32C and I couldn't zip the size 2. Size up!

Pretty Top for NYE
I wore this on NYE, which was perfect for the event. However, I found this to be itchy and a bit tight around the bust. Also, when I look closer at the shirt, it seems to be falling apart a bit. There is a lot of pilling and I was afraid to hug someone without getting caught on them

Great in concept, but poor in execution. This sweater coat was hugee on my 5'2" frame. It was way too long and just big in general. Also found it itchy.

This skirt ran a little tight and short for me. I'm usually a 2 or 4 in pants, and 2 in skirts, but this size 2 wasn't really appropriate for the event I had in mind.

Comfy Summer Dress!
Pretty colors, and a comfortable dress! I wore this to work, paired with a jean jacket, as well as a brunch. Being only 5'2", I'm always nervous about renting long dresses, but this worked well on me, even just in flat sandals. The dress is roomy though, so I'd recommend sizing down.

Wanted this to work, but not functional
I was a bit disappointed by this shirt for a few reasons. 1) It wrinkles very easily, 2) the sleeves are huge and you need to essentially hold them back in order to eat, and 3) the neckline doesn't easily stay off the shoulder. It's cute for a photo opp, if you can control the 3 things I mention, but I found the shirt to not be very functional.

Great for a winter wedding!
This was my first time venturing into cut-out dresses. Loved that this dress was a combo of subtle and sexy. I wound up going with the larger size because it was more comfortable after stuffing my face with Savannah's southern cuisine. Only downside to the dress is that it's a bit long on my 5'2'' height. Overall, great for the winter wedding I was attending!
