Summer in a top
Absolutely loved this top and wore it non-stop. It goes with everything. The print looks like Indian wood-blocking on cotton but is actually 100% rayon, so it drapes beautifully and travels well.

Floaty, easy skirt
Perfect for summer evenings. This skirt is 100% polyester but doesn't look/feel cheap. It is very fitted through the waist. It dresses up and down and is great to dance in!

This color!
Great color for late fall. Love the slight puff-sleeve. Unfortunately, it is synthetic so was already starting to pill after just a couple of wears.

Adorable dress
Major Jackie O vibes with this cute holiday dress. Sadly don't get to wear it but would definitely rent again. Material is soft but high-quality. Fit was TTS.

Amazing sleeves
Loved this one! This top is quite fitted around the waist with a batwing-style 3/4 sleeve. It's polyester but looks and feels silky enough, plus the open sleeves keep you from overheating. Would be amazing with high-waisted suit pants for the office. Or, like, yoga pants for a zoom call (sigh).

Nothing special
This knit was chunkier than expected and the color was an unflattering yellowish camel... It was also starting to pill already and needed a pin at the bust. Wouldn't rent again.

Fall MVP
This sweater is soft, cozy, and able to be dressed up and down. If worn with all the buttons undone it does require a strapless bra, but with 2-3 buttons undone you can still wear a regular bra (and tank top/layer) underneath. I sized up to wear with leggings but it wasn't quite long enough (5'5", size S). Will rent again!

Run don't walk
Stunning. 10/10 DVF gorgeousness. This is one of her classic silk wrap dresses (not rayon) so is thick and hangs beautifully. Fit is TTS. Will be hard to send this one back!

Nice size
Rented this planning to buy because I have an old MG crossbody (circa 2015) that I love. The leather on this bag is very thin and malleable, different to their older bags & not as expected. Cute size though.

Cute & polished
Good for running errands, but nothing special. Definitely puffs out below the belt in a not-especially-flattering way. Wouldn't rent again.

Bird of paradise
This dress is a total compliment-magnet. The flowers are super bright but the base color is navy so still v flattering. Fit is TTS, plus no gaping like a lot of shirt dresses. Hit above the knee (5'5"). Easy unlined throw-on-and-go dress, great for end of summer.

Soo puffy
I loved how this fit on other ladies but I couldn't make it work. It fit loosely on me and puffed out ridiculously at the sleeves, bust and below the tie. Cute print but just super unflattering (on me).

Versatile + Pretty
This skirt goes with everything! The print has blue, black, white, cream and orange so pairs easily with just about any top/shoe. I loved the faux-wrap tie waist and length (a little below mid-calf on me, 5'5"). I planned to wear this to a dinner but kept it for errands, WFH, etc. Lots of compliments! Fit was TTS.

Pretty in pink
This dress is delightful. It is quite fitted through the mid-section and flares out towards the hem. The XS fit TTS for DVF. It hit me just below mid-calf (I'm 5'5"). It is unlined, high-quality fabric and perfect for summer events. I wore it three times while I had it; to dinner with heels & a clutch, to lunch with sandals & a basket bag and running errands in sneakers. Loved it.

So versatile
Pretty much the perfect pair of summer shorts. The faded blue goes with every color top and they have a comfortable, broken in feel that is perfect for WFH. Runs slightly large (I'm a 25 in madewell jeans and the 0 was borderline too big). I kept them!

The prettiest yellow
Rent this! Especially if you are like me and typically never wear yellow (love that RTR lets you experiment with new colors/styles). This is a mid-weight knit polo that is soft and figure-hugging. Very flattering pale yellow that worked well with white shorts/skirts. Loved the 70s preppy tennis vibes.

'The Talented Mr Ripley' vibes
This dress is so chic. It fits tighter around the waist so size up if in-between. I love the pointed collar and tiny buttons. Docking a star because it's a little see-through and the neckline is about 2 inches too low.

In love with this dress
Another winner by ALC. It's super lightweight so perfect for summer nights. The pleats make it easy to travel with (for when that's a thing again ). Finally, this shade of blue - light and bright - is hard to find and very flattering. Fit is true to size with a stretchy waist.

Cozy piece for the end of winter
Easy weekend piece for the end winter. The material is a little scratchy but it worked well layered over a thermal top for peak coziness. Fun après-ski vibes. Not quite long enough to wear with leggings.

Beautiful, classic piece
The perfect layer for Spring! This is a luxurious, versatile piece I would have worn on repeat for Spring... Fit is true to size. Think about sizing up if you're planning to layer over anything but a thin top. I found the round collar to be more of a mature look than other IRO tweed jackets with the peaked lapels/waterfall style lapels. I liked it a lot but thought it made me look a little older.

Boho vibes
I love this designer so much I rented this unlined dress in the middle of winter. I channeled some 70s vibes with tights and boots underneath and actually really loved it. The shoulders can be worn up or off-the-shoulder. Would def rent again in spring/summer.

Where do the girls go? I rented my normal Ref size but this dress was laughably small up top. It was a choice between wearing it or breathing so back it went.

I rented these to fill a delivery but they ended up being my order MVPs. This color seems to go with everything, especially white, and I wore them all weekend. Contrary to appearances they are very lightweight. Would rent again in summer.

Beautiful colors
This dress is an absolute compliment-magnet. The flowers are vibrant and the buttons make it easy to pair with gold jewelry. Note that it is not silk but some kind of polyester, so while it is easy to travel with (no wrinkles) it is stiff and heavy. It would be way too hot for a summer wedding, IMO. Fit was true to size but tight around the rib cage.

Cute & warm
I layered this dress with a low-cut bodysuit, tights and boots for a mid-week dinner. I was warm but still felt dressed up/feminine - an ongoing winter challenge lol. The print and fabric makes this more of a winter floral for me.

Birthday dress!
Rented this for my birthday dinner and loved it :) Sexy, feminine and warm enough for late fall. Keep in mind, it doesn't have much stretch and needs a strapless bra.

Pop of color!
I actually had people stop me on the street to compliment me on this skirt :) As others have mentioned, it looks like tweed but is made of a stretchy knit. It is high-waisted and hit a few inches below the knee (5"5'). Loved the cute 60s vibes!

Rent these if you are looking for warm trousers! I'm trying to wear jeans less and these were perfect - warm, cozy and comfortable. Fit was TTS and length was perfect with loafers (I'm 5'5"). Will definitely rent again over winter.

One of my favorite Ref rentals! The material is a little scratchy but other than that it was a hit. The high slit offsets the cute prairie shoulders and I was able to wear a regular bra. Would rent again to wear with boots.
