I'm not returning this
I've held on to this for a few weeks. It's a good looking tailored top. Love that it dresses up shorts/jeans without being too much. The blue in the top isn't too blue or too dark so I've felt fine matching it with blue or black jeans.

Fun splash of color
Didn't end up wearing this since I wanted to smooth everything out with Spanx. The slit in the dress comes up too high where I couldn't completely disguise them. This also exposed that the slit is in the middle and comes up a bit high where I felt like I would flash the world while sitting down. I loved this dress when standing up but it just wasn't right when sitting down.

Pretty forgiving material
I loved this dress trying it in at home but know id be uncomfortable in such a tight dress if I wore it out. The thick material is forgiving. The straps aren't adjustable. Hoping to give this dress another try after hitting the gym a bit.

Lots of material
Tried this on but didn't wear it. The straps are long and the skirt has a ton of material. It didn't fit me well.

Great way to mix it up without a splash of color
Felt these dressed up my everyday "wearing solid colors" look. They are on the larger side and sit more straight forward than beside your face (like hoop earrings). As a brunette they blended in for the most part but the gold made them stand out. Since I don't wear huge earrings often this was a nice intro and they were easy to hide/downplay id your hair is down. Would rent again to mix up my look without bright colors.

Cute top, wrinkles fast
I love this look in a top but never buy it and the reason...it wrinkles so fast. It was a cute top the sleeves were long but not too long. I sized down and felt it was an appropriate amount of that oversized look. If I got anything larger I think I would have been swimming in it. If I rent this again, I wouldn't choose it for work but more for a day out.

Didn't work for me
I have a larger chest so the closed top and frills at the bottle made me feel like a giant round ball.

Try this on with heels
I worked with a stylist at a RTR store and like this dress at the store. The dress is a bit long so when you try it in at home put heels on/whatever shoes you'll be wearing. I didn't wear this because I was in between sizes and the one I ordered was too big.

Fun dress, but too bright for the occasion
Loved the color but I'm still branching out with how bright I'm willing to wear so unfortunately this didn't make the cut for an upcoming event. The material was a bit heavier which was nice to smooth things out. Loved the cut of the top and the adjustable straps. Will look back at this as an option in the future.

Fun to wear patterns to the office
This top was fun to wear to the office for a day. Glad to rent it since the pattern and sleeves stand out where it'd be tough to pull off frequently. The flowy sleeves were easy to manage but they did have a tendency to fold over and stay stuck. Didn't bother me but if that would drive you nuts just an FYI.
