Mauve Madness

I love this color. This was a fun dress to wear to a cocktail type event. It pairs nicely with white heels. This was similar to another dress I rented in the same haul. Be sure to double knot the tie so it does not come undone.

Burnt Orange - Fall Vibes

Wore this dress to a fall / winter wedding. It definitely meets the standards of semi-formal or cocktail attire. Love the added slit, which makes it easier to walk in. Also, like the lace up detail in the back. This allows one to customize the fit for them. However, one should double knot or make sure the tie is secure as mine came undone during the event (whoops!). Thankfully I had a jacket on and was already leaving. Because of the lace up back, stickies are a must.

Wore this dress for a bridal shower and received lots of compliments from the other ladies. Material is breathable and relatively lightweight, having some stretch to it. The length was perfect for 3" heels. My only complaint was the lining along the neckline kept showing. To fix this I had to tug on the dress repeatedly throughout the event. Fabric tape may have helped in this situation but I did not have that on hand to try at the time.

Flowy Florals

I love love loved this dress. It was lightweight enough for spring and summer events. The length was perfect with 3-inch heels even for someone of my height. Although it is pretty low cut, I was able to wear a regular bra that was shaped for low cut tops. The top did require some fabric tape to avoid exposing anything when leaning forward though.

Ruby Red

This is a beautiful jewel tone dress but I was not a fan of the fit at all. I personally needed to size down to a 0 as the 2 did not provide much shape. In addition, the length of the dress did not allow for a person of 5'7 or taller to wear heels without them showing.

This is a fun and beautiful floral mini dress. It does not have much shape so I recommend wearing it with a belt if the waist is something you want to accentuate. I really liked the shift dress look though and ended up pairing it with black ankle strap heels. It would also look cute paired with boots for the winter season.

Roses are Red

This is a LOUD dress. If you are not afraid of standing out this is the dress for you. It was honestly perfect for a place like Las Vegas, which is where I ended up wearing it. It is form fitting but easy to wear with a normal bra, which was a plus. The fabric is light and breathable. Note though, this is a LONG midi dress. Even for someone who is tall at 5'8, this hit at my ankles. I ended up pairing this dress with black ankle strap heels but this could be cute with black boots for the winter time.

Cargo Is a Go

These jeans are true to size in my opinion. They are an easy everyday pant that can be dressed up or down. Unfortunately, they were the perfect length only when worn with flats. Those with an inseam of at least 30-inches do not expect these to be grazing the floor.

Maybe it isn't the new neutral but I do love a good shacket and how easy it is to pair with a light weight long sleeve or knit sweater. This was perfectly oversized and can be easily paired with jeans or black tights.

Perfect in Pink

So in love with these pale pink pants. They are so versatile in how they can be dressed and the types of events you can wear them to. I had been eyeing these for the month of February with the thought to wear them on a date with my husband. Instead I opted to wear them to my niece's first birthday party where the theme was Snow White. It was the perfect piece to add to my monochromatic modern princess look. I got several compliments. The pants were very much true to size and the perfect length for my long legs, hitting at the ankle.

Simple Sweater

This is a simple sweater making it one of those items that is versatile. You can dress it up over a skirt or gown as shown with the model. You can dress it down for a more a casual look by tucking it into your favorite pair of jeans. Maybe you want a little more edge? Then I recommend some leather pants. You get the gist. This item can be worn multiple ways making it a great staple. Plus it is neutral friendly!

LOVE is an understatement when it comes to this green plaid blazer by Madewell. It pairs so well with my neutral friendly closet and is a great staple for everyday outfits. I ended up pairing this with a tan sleeveless turtleneck sweater also from RTR. It is slightly oversized making it easy to layer but not so oversized that it swallows one whole. Will definitely be renting this item again in the future.

Playful in Plaid

Wore these pants to a fundraiser event. This type event has a wide spectrum of outfits from casual to semi-formal. I was looking for something in the middle and landed on these pants to help add a little fun into the overall fit. They were a little snug in the waist but fit well everywhere else. Loved the flare on the pant as it made it easy to pair with an open toe heel to help elevated the look. I kept the colors neutral by pairing it with a cream turtleneck sweater and black trench/peacoat.

I wish I had a photo of this gown. The dress was stunning from the color to the cut. However, it does run quite small. I was not able to zip it up on the side and easily needed to size up to a 2L for both length and room up top. That is saying something because I am small chested. Will definitely be renting this again for some upcoming weddings this year.

Pretty in Plum

I ended up wearing this gown for a wedding that was semi-formal. The statement of this dress is really the side slit. This helps with the overall shape of the dress. I opted to wear a strapless bra but it can easily be worn without. The floral pattern is very subtle along with some ruching on the side toward the slit.

LBD with Sparkles

I really liked this gown by Badgley Mischka. The fit is pretty true to size. It does have a plunging neckline in both the front and back but I was still able to get away with wearing a low cut, push-up bra. The material is pretty heavy so I would recommend this more for fall or winter events.

Vivacious velour

Love the look and shape of this top but the wire that helps hold this shape is very uncomfortable against my sternum. This may be the case because I am small chested and wore this with a low cut push-up bra. Overall, I would recommend this for a date night or night out. Easy to pair with pants, jeans, or skirt and can be elevated with heels.

Jumpsuit Blunder

Liked the cut of the top half. This jumpsuit made it easy to wear with a normal bra. However, I was not a big fan of the length. As someone with a 32-in inseam, I needed a Long to be able to wear this with heels. If the shape of the leg was more bootcut versus flare, I think I could have gotten away with it.

Madame Purple

This was my favorite item out of the 5 I received in this shipment. The color was perfect for a fall / winter wedding. The cut was also flattering with the addition of the belt to accentuate the waist. The top has a fastener in the front for those that may want more coverage but I did not find that necessary and was even able to get away with a normal bra. The material is not scratchy although one might suspect that seeing the sparkly material. I would easily wear this again. I ended up pairing this with black open toe heels and my husband wore a black suit to compliment. All in all I think we cleaned up well for the event.

Little Long Black Dress

This dress has received raving reviews but unfortunately was not for me. I struggled with length and would have opted for a long if it was available. I prefer true "floor" length dresses. The ruching does a great job of "hiding" things and is flattering on all body types but the top half just did not fit me. I am small on top and have always struggled with strapless styles. This was no different for me.

Ruching and Pleating

This looks great on the model but the top did not sit on me in anyway that was remotely similar. I felt I could have gone down to a 0 as the chest was just too big for me. I would have also opted to get a long for the length. I have a 32-inch inseam and prefer my heels to be more covered. As for those wondering the jumpsuit is a navy blue color. Very pretty for events during the winter time of year.

More Navy than Black

I love a good jumpsuit but this one was a little deceiving. The description reads black but I am pretty sure the color was more navy in person. I enjoyed the sparkle the flecks added. Perfect for a NYE outfit! The top has a nice ruching or draping affect from right to left that is not noticeable in the photo. Also, straps are thick enough to wear a normal bra with it. Overall it is a fun option!

I actually really loved the fit of this dress. It was an XS long and I am typically an XS in most articles of clothing. I am small chested so it was nice to be able to wear a normal bra without the straps showing. Plus the cut added a little cleavage that I would not normally see. The only thing I did not care for was the hi-lo cut. It does make it easier to walk in heels but it just was not the style I was looking for.

Front Slits, The New Side Slit

This type of pant seems to be very in these days. Size and fit of these were perfect. I am normally an XS in bottoms or 24-26. These pants were knit, which is hard to see in the photo so they were stretchy and flexible. The waistband is a pull-on that sits high but is smooth and flat. As for length these hit just below my ankle (I have a 32-in inseam) so I recommend pairing with an open toe heel versus a boot or bootie.

Feeling Red

As read in many other reviews, this blazer is more snug in the shoulders. I still ended up going with a 0 and could still easily pair it with a light weight long sleeve but for comfort I may size up one next time. I ended up pairing this with jeans and booties for a more casual work party event but it can easily be dressed up with open toe heels and leather pants.

Fun Plaid Pants

Wore these pants to a local Home Tour event and Country Club where I got many compliments. The pants fit as expected for a size 0. I have about aa 32-in inseam and these hit right at or slightly below the ankle. The material was quite comfortable to be in all day. It was stretchy without getting baggy and losing its shape. I ended up pairing these with a black mock neck cashmere sweater that I french tucked into the pants along with a black Sam Edelman trench coat and black booties for a wintry look.

Red Hot

I got this Ronny Kobo sweater in an XS. I am typically between an XS-S though. While the neck and sleeves fit fine, the sweater was more cropped than I would have liked. I could not raise my arms without showing my midriff. So, I would either pair with very high waisted jeans/pants or I would go the next size up.

Festive but Sophisticated

I got the XS and am normally between an XS-S. This sweater when buttoned was on the more snug size. If you want it more relaxed as shown on the model, then size up. However, the material is soft and stretchy so I was able to fit a light-weight turtleneck long sleeve to complete my look for a holiday work party. I kept the sweater unbuttoned and paired it with high waisted light wash jeans and black booties. I wanted to be festive but still look nice without having to go the route of "ugly" Christmas sweater. I will definitely rent this again in the future!
