Great cut, very nice tailoring, cozy textile - I felt good wearing these
The fit for me was excellent. I am 5'5" with short legs, so these were not ankle pants as shown on the model. However, they were not too wide, nor too narrow, pretty much straight leg, which meant the longer length worked fine. Very nicely tailored. Felt put together wearing them.

Great graphics, nice weighty weave/texture
The fit is just right, sleeves not too tight, but not baggy; length is great. Rich blue with white peace sign, and a surprise - it works inside out as white sweater with blue peace sign! Two sweaters in one. I wore it a few times and knew I really wanted to keep it. So, I bought it, and continue to enjoy it frequently.

Great bag, on trend
This bag has style details that make it on trend: structured shape, a rich chocolate brown color, and croc emboss. It looks great, but is not too formal for casual day wear (can be either formal or not.) I found it to be an excellent size - not as small as a typical cross body ( which are generally a bit too small to include sunglasses with essentials,) and not as large as a tote, which can be a bit much for running around town. Also, the structure makes it easier to find things than in soft similarly shaped bags

Purple pop of color
The abstract, colorful print on these pants makes them so much fun to wear. They draw attention in a fun way, not screaming for it. The fit was perfect for me - curvy, with larger thighs. The pants fit just tightly enough to create a smooth fit. The fabric wore very well, did not really wrinkle , still looked great after a full day! I have these on my list for re- renting.

Fashion forward denim!
These pants are interesting, different, cute, fashion forward. I loved the half and half look! Felt like the inside-out pocket was oversized. Overall fun pants. Better for a day in the City than everyday wear in the burbs.

Fabulous sweater
Loved this sweater in every way, neckline,cute hemline details, color, fit, weight of fabric...except it was itchy on my neck. I tried it a couple of times, really wanted it to work because it is such a great piece. Given the high neckline, I didn't have something to wear underneath to protect from the itching there. Sad. Loved the sweater!!

Oversized Mock Neck Sweater

Cozy and warm
I liked this piece a lot. Very cute, great colors. A bit more difficult to style than I anticipated- I had difficulty getting the collar to "behave," and the fabric was more of a heavy fleece than a sweater knit. It was more suitable as a coat than an extra indoor layer. (For Northern California )

Unusual design is sharp and good looking
These pants have a pleat right near the hip, which if included incorrectly could result in a poof at the "wrong" place. However, this distinctive design feature works well, perhaps due to placement and a-line design. The effect is really cute, and unusual.

Cute, current style
These fit just as pictured. They are very cute and contemporary. The denim is a nice weight and texture. The wash is light, well suited to the style. Overall a great pair of pants! ...Except, for me, they are so high waisted that they sit at the bottom of my rib cage, across my sternum. The lovely, weighty denim of which they are constructed does not stretch. So, when I sat down, the waist band cut into my solar plexus, felt a bit like I had lost my wind. They were not at all tight in the waist when I was standing - no bulge or muffin top at all. So, I guess this design is just not for me. Maybe would work better on someone with a longer torso. Disappointingly, they are going back without being worn much.

A basic sweater made special by its color and weight texture
This sweater is really sweet. Has that nice heavy cotton feel, great for transitioning to fall. The color is lovely. The fabric drapes in a way that the overall effect is not too bulky or body. I really like the color as well. It compliments new fall colors nicely

This beautiful fashion forward jacket adds punch and style to every day wear
The amazing color(more orange than red,) the thick, diagonal weave of the textile (gorgeous, unusual, ) and the unusual cut/design (sort of cocoon, but a more centered, geometrical shape,) makes this coat a very special and fun to wear piece. Unfortunately, we are having a last hurrah heat wave coming through for the next week, so won't be worn a lot for now. May hang onto it for a bit, or return and re-rent in the colder weather. Really a stunning piece.

Cut and details make the sweatshirt a statement piece
It feels like a nice, cozy sweatshirt. However it has cute zipper details, strategically placed, that result in a very flattering fit and interesting style. Love it. Will probably purchase

Comfy casual wear with a twist
The fabric is thicker than most "sweat pants," so they hold their shape well. And the print takes this otherwise very nice pair of sweat pants over the top. It is a bright, cheery abstract print in gold, red an blue on navy background. The print is small and sparsely distributed, so it is not overwhelming, just a fun, lively pop.
