Heavy earrings with unstructured petals
The petals just kind of flop down while wearing. They're not bad but not like pictute.

Great statement earring!
These are a perfect pop of color and were comfortable thanks to the clip on. I used lobe wonder support stickers to help the earrings have a bit more grip and recommend, because they felt a bit insecure without.

couldn't wear
This dress is absolutely beautiful, but it is difficult to wear if you are at all curvy. The slip was so short on me that it did not even fully cover my butt, so I unfortunately could not wear. I do think sizing up could have potentially helped this, but the rest of the dress might have been too oversized.

Various sizing issues
These jeans are really well made and, when they fit, do not stretch out or become baggy. There is a slight give, so that they're not stiff though. That said, my first pair I loved so much that I didn't even return before renting a second pair. Thank goodness I didn't, because the second pair did not button past the second button (there are five) and was the same size. Given how much I love these jeans and the issues with fit, I ended up buying my first pair.

Very warm, cute sweater
I sized up for oversized look and want to wear this every day! Today was in the 40s and I didn't need a coat, because this sweater is so heavy (in the best way possible). Tempted to buy!

Wear them around for an hour before you decide
When I first tried them on, I thought they ran a size too small. After about an hour, they stretched to be comfortable enough for all day wear. Miraculously, they didn't stretch to look baggy. It really just stretched to fit my curves better. I wanted to hate these jeans at first, but I actually really like them!

It arrived damaged, but it's a beautiful garment.
1st - RTR absolutely made it right by opening a 5th spot in my unlimited account same day. 2nd - I ended up going another way in the end, because another dress wouldn't arrive in time. However, this is a really pretty dress that is very flattering. I'm between L/XL (heyyyy postpartum body that is difficult to estimate sizing) and felt really comfortable with the way the XL fit.

Really fun sweater
I read others' reviews and saw that they listed the sweater as running small. The next size up fit well (I like sweaters to have a bit of room without being really baggy). It's great quality and a really fun print. I will probably buy.

Love, love, love
The best part of this coat and really brand as a whole is that they've mastered how to frame a curvier body. It's been difficult to find flattering items in an oversized silhouette and Vince regularly delivers (this coat is prime example). Honestly, I will probably buy this coat. I love it so much!

Looks great in pictures!
I've recently gained a lot of weight, so I was thrilled to size down for my bachelorette. However, I was initially disappointed by the dress in person. The sequins are a little spread apart and I think I would have chosen the black dress if I realized how Vegas this dress is. However, the dress looks amazing in pictures and I got a lot of compliments. I recommend getting flash tape, because I didn't have any bras that would have worked with this dress and it will gap (even with a larger bust like mine).
