Boxer look alike
Cute, except they look like your dad's boxers- with the exception of the back pocket with alternating stripes- that's what saves these- from behind- but I wish there was a detail that made them look less like "dads" from the front

Not for my figure
Empire waist doesn't flatter on hourglass figures like me- just makes me look pregnant. But cute otherwise!

Oversized blazer trend isn't for me. But thanks to RTR I tried it. This is a nice quality blazer, just not my style

Just a bit too small
Really cute blazer with jeans or work pants or over a dress. I am a typical size 12 and this was too tight along the shoulders and I couldn't button it, but it still was cute. Next time I'll size up one

The leg/"skirt" was very billowy - it was just going for it a bit too much for an evening bbq. The top fit beautifully.

The description of the shorts say that these have a 3.5 inch inseam. They do not, more like 1.5 inches. Way too short for this mama!

Pulled the outfit together
Wore this for months in the spring - made an effortless outfit look really cute. As mentioned the coat runs large, so I ordered a medium and fit perfect. Also, I think this color would be great in the fall, also lovely in the spring.

cute for snow pants
Style is cute with angled pockets in front. Material is less waterproof than some snow pants which make these less reasonable for "wet" vs "dry" snow. Not great for the PNW.

Love the zip ankle. The high waist however seemed to accentuate my mom belly by asserting downward pressure on my abdomen. Large back pockets which was a flattering look for my buns.

Saggy butt
This was a fun pattern for my WFH wear. However, it became immediately frustrating as the size that was recommended (XLR) as i usually wear a 10-12, gave me plumber-butt. Good for a laugh with the kids, but not comfortable or cute. If I rent this brand again I will size down. Print is like a wood grain- different!

Cute! But too small.
My daughter is a typical 7 year old, unfortunately the arms were so short that even she thought it looked silly. Returned it without wearing. But it is cozy on the inside and super fun for animal lovers.

I took advantage of my unlimited membership during covid to try a number of dresses for an upcoming big event in the fall. This is a very fun, cute dress that is flattering. The polka-dot style is just not right for my formal affair.

This is a gorgeous color and would be perfect for a fall wedding. However, I am tired of the all-over lace pattern and feel a little too mother-of the bride in it, given my middle age.

Updated style to lace
During COVID I took advantage of my unlimited membership to try lots of dresses for my stepdaughters upcoming wedding. This one is my favorite, and I think I will rent for the fall event. It is refined, sexy, yet covered, and the cap sleeves help to hide my middle aged sagging arms.

gorgeous, conservative
This is a finalist for a dress I need for my stepdaughter's wedding in the fall. It feels a bit matronly, but has enough fun to it (the bottom flair, open lace top) so it doesn't feel too lame. I don't need to be the star of the show at her event (of course!) so this may be the perfect choice.

Beautiful detailed dress
I'm a pretty standard 12 in dresses these days but I couldn't (didn't want to force) the zipper to work around my mid-back. This is a gorgeous dress and I would like to wear it in the future - but I think I will need to size up to a 14 to make the ribs work (I am a 36 in bras, FYI).

Between sizes
Usual size 12, the XLR was too big, but I believe the Large would have been too tight. I felt like a bridesmaid in this dress - maybe because it's a solid color? Just not a cute look for me.

beautiful color- navy with a slight green to it. Unfortunately, as a pear/hourglass shape with a decent sized rib cage, The size that fit my rib cage was too large for my typical sized chest (c/d). Deep v neck so resulted in too much of a peep show than anyone would want from this 40-something!

This is more interesting than your typical LBD. The front is less "booby" than many. The bottom high/low adds a fun detail. This is a top finalist for what I will wear to my step daughter's wedding in the fall.

Wore it several times, really enjoyed this.
The red stripes at the bottom and cuff makes adds a fun detail that marks this as a great casual piece (which is all I really wear anyways!) VERY soft, warm, but not too hot for indoor wear this winter in the PNW.
