Lovely, but a little small. Maybe next time.
This was a beautiful bag, but unfortunately, I didn't end up wearing it. I have a 14" laptop and it did not fit. It was smaller than I thought it would be. I did like the pouch that was attached inside. I would definitely rent it again, but I would have to downsize as I tend to wear bigger bags.

Cute little bag for downsizing
I wore this bag for my weekend trip to LA. It was smaller than I was used to, but it had enough room to fit a few basic things like my phones, wallet, and lip balm. It would have been nice if it was a little larger. The neutral color went well with several of my outfits. I would rent it again.

Chandeliers for the ears
The earrings were bigger than I expected, but they looked elegant and I love pearls. I normally don't wear earrings that big, but I received compliments, and they looked fabulous. One lady said they looked like chandeliers. They were quite heavy and I was kind of relieved to take them off after a day of wearing them. But I would rent them again for a special occasion or just to complement a dressy outfit.

Great concept, not so great execution
I was attracted to this blouse because it was unusual and it would be a different look for me. Unfortunately, I did not like the cowl style collar. It was awkward to wear and it was so wrinkly. If it wasn't for that, then it would have been fine. I didn't end up wearing it, which was a shame because it was really cool looking. Maybe for someone else, but not for me.

A lot in the middle and too much back!
I really wanted to wear this dress and was so excited for it. Although the silhouette was flattering and beautiful, the back was cut way too low. Also, I looked like I was pregnant in it. There was no way for me to wear shapewear because it would show. If the back was a little bit higher, then I would have been able to flatten my waist. Sadly, I will be returning it.

Cute but flawed
This jumpsuit was super cute and it looked good on me. However, it was a little more low cut than I would like, so I had to wear pasties instead of a bra. The length was perfect, but it was a bit tight around the waist. The zipper was impossible for me to pull up without help. I was disappointed that I couldn't keep it.

Cute little going out bag for downsizing
At first glance I thought this handbag was a little smaller than I would have liked, but it fit my wallet, two of my phones, lipstick, mascara, and keys comfortably. It's great for downsizing because I tend to carry large bags with a lot of stuff. The color was beautiful and actually goes with many other colors quite well. I liked the chain as a decoration. The only downside was it did not have a longer strap to make it a crossbody. It was a little awkward to carry at times. Otherwise, I would have kept it.

Love the color!
I saw this dress in a coral color, but I got it in yellowish lime green to step out of my comfort zone. I thought it looked great with my skin tone. I also liked that there were no zippers to fiddle around with. I could just slip it on and off. I couldn't wear a bra with it, and I couldn't find the right strapless one for this particular style, so I wore nipple covers for modesty. Even though the dress was form fitting, it was a little too snug and I ordered the biggest size available. I couldn't wear shapewear with it because it would have shown through my midriff. If it was a tad looser, I would have kept it.

Casual chic for everyday
I was looking for a button down white shirt to wear for work. Even though I knew it was a crop top, I thought I could still tuck it into my pants. I didn't end up using it for work, but I wore it during my staycation with capri pants. It showed a little midriff, but not much unless I raise my arms up. The sleeves were a tad long, so I rolled up the cuffs. It was a nice casual look that was comfortable and had a good overall fit.

Not for the top heavy!
I had high hopes for this dress. Unfortunately, it did not work out for me. The bodice was too tight and it would only work if I had a smaller bust. I'm a D cup and I was spilling out of this dress. Plus, the hem was too long. I could not wear it out anywhere, so sadly, I will be returning it.
