This jacket looks so cute on everyone else in their photos. For some reason, it’s extra puffy on me, like it just holds in air. I don’t know if it’s because I received mine new with tags (so maybe it’s stiff and needs to be broken in a bit?) or if it’s because I have a smaller frame, but I look like Missy Elliott in her “The Rain” music video. IYKYK.

Photos don’t do it justice
Gorgeous dress, perfect for a formal wedding. I was afraid the regular length would be too long, but as a shorty at 5’3” it was actually perfect with 3ish inch heels. I paired it with the Cult Gaia Nano Crossbody bag (also from RTR) and I received so many compliments, mostly from hot women, that I knew I was doing something right.

Wear with your hair up
Gorgeous necklace, but my hair keeps getting caught in the back which is unfortunate as I prefer to wear my hair down.

Cute but low quality
Love this top - though I find myself having to adjust the shoulders from time to time, it fits well and is easy to dress up or down. With that said, I find the “buy” price on this absurd. It’s a polyester and spandex top that looks and feels like fast fashion.

Small but stretchy
Sized up and it was still snug but fit perfectly. Unique twist to a LBD - loved it for Vegas!

Design fail buttons
Love everything about this sweater except for the buttons. They are small, slippery, and round, while the openings they go into are tiny m. I think I gave myself arthritis trying to close them.

Wanted to love this, but…
Looked cute on the model but it just didn’t lay right on me. I sized up for a more oversized look, but the stiffness of the material made it look boxy rather than oversized or loose. Also extremely itchy if you’re not wearing long sleeves under it.

Got married in these
Timeless glam that complemented my minimalist gown perfectly. A bit uncomfortable on my ears but fine for a few hours.

This must be a shirt.
I read the multiple reviews complaining that this dress is too short, so I sized up THREE sizes and it was somehow still short on me. I am 5’3” and usually a size 0. I rented a 6 and it still looked like a child’s dress, or maybe a very long shirt. I wore this over a bathing suit on vacation, testing the limits of decency as I definitely showed everyone my booty and/or hooha at every gentle breeze. Who designed this dress? I just want to talk.

Great for formal event
Initially I was surprised at how gold this purse was - definitely shinier than I expected but it worked nicely for a formal event. I was able to fit my iPhone 13 as well as a couple other items. Only con would be that the chain left indentations on my bare shoulder, but that's to be expected with a chain strap.

Pancake Butt
Looked great from the front, but as another reviewer mentioned, they gave me major pancake butt. The super high pocket slits didn't help - it just wasn't flattering. Though they were cute otherwise, I didn't end up wearing these as I could not bear to sacrifice my butt.

Too heavy, didn't wear
Love the look of these earrings and it was a shame that they felt like wearing anvils. I had to take them off immediately as they were too heavy to wear even for a short time.

Stunning dress, long
Gorgeous dress. I am 5'3" and wore heels (3ish inches) and it was just grazing the floor - definitely would have been too long with smaller heels. I wore it for engagement photos and it photographed beautifully.

Runs large, has pockets!
Why in the world are reviewers saying this coat doesn't have pockets? It absolutely has pockets, found in the exact places you'd expect pockets to be. Runs very large - I am about 5'3" and 118 pounds and a 0 fit very loosely on me.

Beware of shoulder pads
I couldn't tell from the photo, but this blazer has pretty significant shoulder pads that made me look like I was on a spaceship. Did not wear for that reason, but it may suit someone else better if that's your style.

The most important feature I look for in a pair of jeans is how they make my butt look, and these do a great job.

Unique, high quality, cropped
Love the colors and thick, high quality knit. Sleeves are super long and it's definitely cropped but can be worn with a tank underneath if needed.

So cute, but not a flattering fit for me
Such a cute coat - unfortunately, the cut didn't work out for me as the hip area stuck out instead of draping down, making me look wide.
