Bold and fun
I rented this because it was something I didn’t see myself buying in a million years - it’s pretty loud. It was so fun and warm that I ended up buying it. My kids will never wonder where I’m sitting or standing on the sidelines of their sports games now!

Nice flare profile Jean
Loved these. Ended up buying them despite there being a small run in them because I have worn them so much and couldn’t find the style new in my size. These look really cute with retro sneakers.

Cute detail and fit
These jeans do run a little oversized in my opinion but they are meant to. They sit on my hips and are a nice break from all the high-rise denim in my closet. I got so many compliments the first time I wore them that I bought them. It never fails that I get a compliment on them EVERY time I wear them now.

Cute but short
I wanted to love this because I really like Marine Layer but it was just too short. I don't know if it was over-washed/shrunken or just really that cropped. I wore with high waisted jeans and still showed midriff anytime I lifted my arms even slightly. Not ideal for winter and honestly just not how I like my sweaters.

Pretty color
I liked this sweater, it fit well. The color is great for a soft summer like myself. I didn't love it enough to buy it but it was great for several wears!

Great color!
This sweater has an oversized fit. I got a ton of compliments on it, especially the color. If it wasn't so expensive for what it is, I would have bought it.

Flattering cut
The only downfall of these pants were finding things to go with them from my wardrobe. They are definitely an acid wash jean and I don't own anything like them - finding tops that paired well was hard. That being said, the cut was SUPER flattering and I was still tempted to keep them. I would love to try these in a more standard wash.

Super comfy but runs a bit big
I thought I would be safe renting an 8 because I have a big chest but even for me the 8 was too roomy in the bust. The lower half being roomy isn't a problem and it's flattering even when big because of the flowy look. As someone who has spent a lot of time pregnant, this jumpsuit would totally be bump friendly and really cute in 1st and 2nd tri! I think in the right size finding the right bra won't be hard, for me it was a big of a challenge because of how loose the top was.

Fun Business Casual
I would, and plan to, wear this shirt out to dinner or on the weekend but I initially rented to wear to the office. I got a lot of comments on this blouse, even from the men I work with that don't normally notice that kind of thing. I love the neckline - it's super stretchy so wearable even for those who feel confined in turtlenecks. I thought this shirt was fun and has great flashes of color and interest to it. It's flattering and can be dressed up or down.

Great leisure-wear but not for exercising
I was actually pretty surprised by these leggings - I thought they wouldn't be super flattering and show every single thing but they had great coverage. I wore them to work out and that was a big no, they have zero compression and I had to constantly pull them up. They worked better for day to day running errands. If they were tighter in the midsection I would buy them but they're pretty roomy. I'm between a 6 and 8 and fairly athletic build, medium was fine but slipped.

Classy dress for a winter wedding
I usually end up wearing a size 4 in dresses but had to go up in this one. As other reviewers have noted, the lining has ZERO stretch so if you teeter between sizes like I sometimes do I would go up for sure! The dress IS sheer but I wore some nude spanx and you couldn't see them at all - if you have any nude underwear (I didn't) you can wear those instead, I didn't need anything to make the dress look flattering, I feel like it will look great on most people, it was only because of how sheer the dress is. I got compliments from both old and young women at the wedding so I give it two thumbs up :)

Attention Grabber Dress!
I am between a size 4 and 6 right now and I got the small with a medium for a backup size. The small was by far the more flattering of the sizes but it was way too short for me to feel comfortable wearing it. I opted for the medium for our pre-wedding dinner we had to attend. I felt a little self-conscious because the larger size made me look a little boxier (the fabric is pretty thick which means it's forgiving but also that it won't give much definition unless it's tighter) but no one else seemed to notice my insecurities and they raved about it. It's a dress I would totally rent vs. buy because EVERYONE will remember it, but overall two thumbs up :)

Sparkly and flattering for a black tie wedding!
I am NORMALLY a size 4 in dresses but I'm 3 months postpartum so right now I'm most comfortable in one size up (generally a 6). I ordered a size 4 in this dress as my backup dress in case the other style I rented didn't fit how I wanted it to. I was surprised when I loved this dress best of all. Even though the other style looked nice I ended up wearing this one to the wedding and got a ton of compliments. I had read this tended to run a little generous so I risked it and got the 4 and it was perfect. My chest is massive right now and this dress accommodated that without making me look trashy at all. Best of all, I could wear a regular bra :) This dress is SO much prettier in person than it even is on the website and I felt great wearing it even in the weird in-between stage I'm at with my body.
