Versatile
This is a great wardrobe staple that could be worn in a lot of scenarios, it’s fun with its swingy skirt but modest with the length and sleeves. Would rent again.

Knit Bib Vibes
I wanted to love this sweater but the way it achieves the different directions for the knit, especially around the neck and chest, makes certain area of fabric sit almost like a bib much thicker compared to other parts of the sweater. Overall, too much going on here.

Matching Green
These pants fit nicely and went well with the matching suit jacket, they were the right length for tall girls with lower heels. Im here for the green suiting revolution!

Not for Me
Something about the cut of the pockets plus where these pants sit on the waist made these look unflattering on me. Also not tall girl vibes here, they were not quite long enough. I wore them one evening after work but that was it.

Nothing Special
I wanted this garment to have more structure than it did, a more interesting length (either shorter or longer) than it did, and a more modern fabric than it did. It just didn't really do it for me.

Easy Being Green
This blazer is fun and fresh, especially with the silver buttons and the shoulder padding. The shoulders were just a bit wide for my frame, next time I'll size down.

Knit Too Thin
I wanted to love this top, especially because the bell sleeves hang beautifully. But the fabric for an off-white knit top was too thin and sheer, and the ultra-glitzy, oversized sparkle buttons down the v-neck, with a polo style collar, didn’t fit the softer vibe of the rest of the knit. It’s also very, very cropped, just a bit too much for my taste. A miss for me.

Cozy Cardigan
This cardigan is very thick, with the longer 2/3 length flattering over high waisted jeans or joggers. I enjoyed wearing it out and about but wasn’t “wowed” by it. Maybe a slightly softer fabric that draped a bit more would have sold me 100%.

Retro Green
I wished this dress was just a smidge longer, it was just in the middle of the tall girl danger zone for my conservative workplace. Other than that, loved the pattern and the weight of the fabric, it was a fun retro piece to wear to work!

But Why Zipper Sleeves
I got a lot of compliments on this jacket but the zippers from wrist to shoulder on the sleeves were a strange touch. This was especially true because the zippers are silver while the rest of the jacket hardware is a bold gold. Zippers aside, the only other drawback was that the fabric did shed. Other than that, a nice garment.

Quirky but Small
This is a fun, quirky sweater, but the very cropped length didn’t suit the style. Sleeves were also quite short. Still enjoyed wearing it out and about, but it wasn’t as versatile or stand-out as I had hoped.

Unlined
These pants are unlined. The thick fabric will definitely keep you warm, but without a lining it’s also a bit itchy. At the waist, there is a side detail for cinching the waist tighter. This was a detail I disliked because there wasn’t enough length on the straps to release the cinch out to the full waistband length (which also meant the pockets puckered more). The pleated detail was just a bit too much fabric for the matching jacket. Overall, a disappointing pair of pants.

Cool crop for winter
I wore this cropped suit jacket with the matching pants but also with a work dress, and liked it more with the dress than the pants. The cut is fun/different but the color (which has some tan and black stripe detailing with the brown) and weight of the fabric definitely make it more winter wear.

I wore this lady jacket to work over skinny slacks but liked it best over a pair of high waisted wide jeans. It is a boxy, cropped cut and so paired well with a tighter/higher waisted look. Definitely will rent again!

Boob tape
I enjoyed wearing this dress, including because of the long tie/bow detail in the back of the halter. I got many compliments! I agree with others that boob tape is a must, especially if you’re like me and get nervous of a slip with the style of the slit down the front. I explored other options (including bras meant for plunging necklines), but because the sides and the back are also so low cut, they weren’t possible.

Posh
There are grey and pink hues in the interesting woven fabric of this dress. Loved the small side slit in the front, cut of the v-neck, and length of the sleeves, which all added class and posh. I was a little uncertain about the strap/button details on the sides by the waist, but they ended up adding to the look.

I love how the shape of these jeans lengthened and flattered my legs. The 28 was a tight fit for my curves and I wish they were half an inch longer for my tall girl legs, but still very fun to wear.

Shoulders!
There is the slightest structure in the shoulders for this cardigan, but it’s just enough (along with the buttons!) to give it a more polished feel than most cardigans.

Big Blazer Energy
This double breasted jacket was great with the matching suit pants but also over a work dress. The linen fabric is beautiful and the boxy, slightly padded shoulders made it very fun to wear. There is also an interior card pocket, which I love. This fabric has its disadvantages but they were more noticeable with the matching pants than the jacket. A great, versatile garment.

It was fun wearing this dress with the matching crop cardigan to work. I wish I had worn some shapewear underneath (note the arm holes did scoop a little low below the arms but not enough to reveal my bra).

Lovely, Tricky Linen
I wore this full Boss suit to a legal event and the pants alone at work during the day. I got many compliments. I'm tall and beware these pants are long. I barely got them off the floor with my 4 inch heels. Because of the style, you'll also have to keep an eye on fabric bunching at the waist when sitting; there's a lot of pant to keep track of with these pants. I love the interesting fabric, at least in theory. Look closely and you'll see beautiful, tiny white stitching throughout the garment, adding texture and increasing uniqueness. But don't forget that this is linen. It can wrinkle and crease just from sitting in a car or at a desk (I took this picture at the end of the day and you can see some signs of this). They are also just slightly see-through - choose your underwear wisely and be sure to match your skin tone. Getting water on the fabric can also result in faint water staining (it rained the day I wore these). Overall I liked these pants for the event, especially under a jacket long enough to cover your bum, but didn't love them for full day workwear.
