Comfy menswear
These pants gave me 1940s paper boy vibes so I leaned in with a menswear shirt, loafers, and a crossbody bag. It’s not my best look but I didn’t hate it and the pants were super comfortable. I’m 5’3 and they hit just at the ankle which was perfect.

Beautiful but runs small
This was so warm and beautiful but I couldn’t wear it as it didn’t zip up over my chest. I have another Soia and Kyo jacket in size L that fits perfect so the sizing doesn’t seem consistent.

Odd fit
This top would have been amazing if I could figure out where to put my boobs? The banded part seems to sit too high up but it seems I'm the only one that has this problem. For reference I'm broad chested and size 38D

Ok, not the most flattering
This dress didn't do much for me. I think the color washed me out a bit, I'm pretty fair even with a tan. It also runs kind of large since the top is all stretch. I originally ordered the large which felt like an overwhelming amount of fabric; the medium was a bit better but still didn't fit as snug as I would have liked to give me some shape. That said, I wore it to a bbq and it was breezy and comfy and someone told me I looked like a fairy. Also, wears nicely off the shoulder

So versatile and so eye catching
I packed this dress for a super casual weekend trip and ended up wearing it the whole time. Wore it lazing around outside, farmer's marketing, for a bbq, and it could easily be dressed up as well. The material is really light and breathable and the neckline and volume on top make it easy to wear without a bra (HUGE win, I'm 38D for reference). Also, POCKETS. Also, I thought it would be unforgiving around the midsection but to the contrary it is so slimming! Instant fave.

Loved these so much I bought them
After renting these three times I finally bought them. They're just the most comfy breezy summer pants ever. I'm 5'3 and these are the perfect length with flats. Great to wear to the beach, on a plane, and most recently working from home. Obsessed

WFH upgrade
This was as comfy as my WFH uniform of leggings but made me feel much cuter. It runs true to size and there's some stretch in the waist (I should not have sized up). It's a nice easy casual basic. Wore with a black tee and flat sandals for a picnic and felt really cute and comfy in it all day

Love love love
Can't part with this jacket. It's super lightweight but also super warm. Perfect for milder 40 degree winter days. The asymmetric zip makes for a flattering silhouette and the thumb holes in the sleeves are a nice touch. And the good is the best part - it feels like a cocoon for your face and it's the coziest thing

Winter workhorse
I've had this sweater for a few weeks now and I can't stop wearing it. With everything. It's perfectly oversized and slouchy but still put together enough to wear to work with slim trousers. It's not too heavy either so it's nice for layering. Sleeves are a bit long but I have exceptionally short arms. Will probably buy this because I can't part with it

No brainer work staple
Love this top. It's on the longer side which I prefer. And it has little thumb holes on the sleeves which is a cozy addition! It's flattering and just a really well made basic that's great for work.

Lookin like a chic af pumpkin
The cut of this jacket is so beautiful. It hangs almost like a balloon and is really flattering. The color is also a really rich pumpkin, perfect for this time of year. Wore it to thanksgiving dinner and got loads of compliments. Single complaint is that the billowy sleeves make it awkward to carry a purse over your shoulder so it was a bit tough to wear to work. Handbags only, ladies. Otherwise, gorgeous

Like wearing a sweater on your legs
This cozy af skirt is such a winner! The material is thick enough for winter and also smooths out all the fluffier tummy bits that I feared it would emphasize. It falls way longer on me than on the model - I am 5'3 and my legs are short (I'm also wearing this hiked up pretty high above my belly button!). It does stretch out a bit if you're sitting at a desk all day, but not horrendously so. I wore it to work but will also be pairing with some converse and a long sleeve tee for a more casual look

Crazy long
I love everything about these pants except the length. Usually if something hits the RTR model above the ankle, it tends to be the perfect length for me, but these were so not. In this pic I'm wearing four inch heels and the pants are still dragging on the ground. Couldn't wear em. For reference I'm 5'3 and my legs are short in comparison to my torso

Easy work piece
I loved this top. The tie neck is a cute detail for an otherwise basic button down. I'm between a medium and large in tops depending on how fitted they are in the chest and shoulders - I could have sized down on this one as it's cut generously in that area. Otherwise loved it - for work, with jeans on the weekend. Will keep for a while :)

Love this bag but had no idea it would be so huge. Adding a pic for reference. Needed something to make for a cute gym bag to take to work but this was just a lil too large. Super cute for a weekend getaway though

Statement piece
This coat is a stunner. The color is a rich emerald and really versatile. I'm 5'3" so it hit me a bit above the ankle. It made every outfit I paired it with. Sleeves were a little long on my T-Rex arms but they look great rolled up. It feels expensive and luxurious and I don't want to part with it!

Goes with literally everything
Adding a pic here to give an an idea of size. It was perfect for work and even was able to fit my gym clothes in it. I've been wearing it with everything for a couple of weeks now; to work, with jeans or leggings on the weekend, even to the gym. The color is super versatile. Didn't miss a zipper but it definitely does hang wide open if that's not for you

Luxurious
This was definitely a statement piece. The leather is super soft and the color is a beautiful deep burgundy that goes with everything and is perfect for Fall. I do wish it were a little longer as it's kind of an awkward length. My boyfriend asked me where the other half of my jacket was. Do with that what you will!

Cozy af
This runs MASSIVE. I'm between an M and L and ordered a small as that was all that was available. Two of me could have fit in it and it nearly came down to knee length on my 5'3'' frame. That said, i belted it to give it some shape and hike it up a bit and that did the trick. It's beyond cozy, the color is a beautiful deep olive green, and I want to live in it.

Not for me
I'm all about this print, but otherwise these didn't work for me at all. Perhaps on someone slim and narrow but this just wasn't flattering on me. At 5'3 these were way too long and only would have worked with a 4 inch heel. They also ran a little large in my opinion so if you're between sizes I'd size down. I also don't understand how anyone would pay 500 dollars for these pants and then walk around all day itchy af. Because they are itchy af.

Super cozy
I wanted to love this because it really is just the comfiest coziest sweater. Unfortunately the fit is a little bulky which is difficult to pull off on my larger frame. Was hoping the cinched in waist would create a nicer silhouette but it hit me a little too low on the torso which was awkward. Still, it's a really beautiful and well made piece

Second time rental
Fit so nice I rented it twice :) Love that the shoulders actually stay in place and don't ride up like a lot of tops tend to do on my broader shoulders. The stretch in the chest is also great if you are an inverted triangle shape like me and need a forgiving fit in that area. Flattering and easy to dress up for work, and just as easy on the weekend with a pair of jeans

Goes with literally everything
This was the perfect shirt to pack for vacation. Wore it with jeans and heals for a night out, wore it open with a cami underneath and leggings on the plane, wore it tied up over my bathing suit to the beach. It's the perfect crisp white shirt and the material was so much nicer than I even expected - it's thick and almost ribbed with a nice structure to it. Really wanted to keep this one!

Lovely pants
Love the fit of these. At 5'3 they hit just nearly to the floor with flats on, which I expect and usually choose pants that hit ankle length on the RTR model as they fit my stump legs perfectly as regular length pants. The cuffs at the bottom add a nice weight to the pants so that they hang really nicely. The material is really nice too - almost like crepe. Thick enough to smooth things out, thin enough for summer heat. For true to size. Wish I could keep these!

Gorgeous flowy drape
So fun that this skirt is reversible. And the blue side has pockets! Drapes really nicely and the fabric is heavier than expected, which was nice in an Arctic office environment. Beautiful quality, super comfy, and so versatile. At 5'3 this definitely hit me well below where it hits on the model - just about ankle length.

Cleavage for days
This dress fits so perfectly. It's a little boobylicious for work which I though was better without a bra but honestly still too much boob. With a bra? Va-va-voom! I love that the buttons are actually false buttons (no awkward gaping). It fits nice and snug but with a slight bit of stretch so it's still super comfy. Loved.

Not for the broad chested
I couldn't zip this up around my chest unfortunately. Super cute and I wish it fit but if you're shaped at all like I am and broad in the chest, this probably won't work.

Made me way too aware of my midsection
I wanted to wear this but I never made it out the door. I would have spent the entire day fussing about how my tummy looked in it. It's really cute but if you've got anything to camouflage in the midsection be prepared to stop breathing and suck in your tummy all day, or perhaps go with a different dress. Not for my body type but super cute.

This dress is perfection. It's breezy, easy to dress up or down, and it has POCKETS! The tie waist is perfect for cinching in the waist and the flowy fabric is really forgiving. I could wear this all Summer long. Wish I could keep!

Cute but not so functional
This was a really pretty purse but not great if you plan to carry more than keys and a small wallet. I put a mini bottle of water in it and even that was too much. The magnetic closure isn't strong enough to support even the slightest bulge outside the natural shape of the purse.

This top made me Saturday Night Fever strut
I don't understand how any top could be $1000 dollars unless it was made of unicorn fur, but that said, this is one of the nicest things I've ever worn on my body. The color is a rich mustard and so vibrant, the material is soft and flowy, the cut is super flattering and forgiving. It's as perfect a top as I could dream of.

Meh
I hated the fit of these. To be fair, if you have lean legs these probably are great, but if you don't they just aren't flattering. They have the stretch of leggings but not the flattering silhouette. They were kinda flared and hit me at a weird mid-ankle length so I felt like I was wearing some kind of Frankenstein pants. Not my jam.

I loved this piece! I wish I could have kept it. Will definitely rent again but size up. This runs true to size, but I went with the medium as it was all that was available and I was obsessed and had to have it. So comfy, delicate, and lightweight. Perfect for Summer weekends.

This was a cute top for work. The color is a deep rust, which would be nice for Autumn. Had a little gaping in the buttons around the chest which is always a nuisance. Nothing spectacular but was good quality and had a nice flowy shape

Flattering fit
This dress runs a little small if you've got thicker arms and a broader chest like I do. Sizing up definitely helped, as did leaving a button undone on the arms. I endured the minor discomfort for the major win in the shape department. This dress cinches in at the waist and gave me an hourglass shape where really I'm more of an upside down triangle. Wore it to my boyfriend's graduation and he loved it!

Really unique top!
This top was perfect for transitioning between work and a friend's party afterward. Chic, playful, but not too revealing to be inappropriate for work. I ordered a size up to give myself some room in the bust and I'm glad I did. It fit perfectly!
