Love these Tory blouses!
Love this blouse! Great cut, can be worn tucked or untucked. Wore it to work twice. Paired it with a pair of Olive colored pants and it looked great.

Didn't wear because of fit...
I did not wear this out because it did not fit the way I expected, but I was so disappointed because the sequin work is GORGEOUS. This is 100% a crop top. The lower seam was above my belly button by several inches. I knew it would be short but it was several inches shorter than I expected and didn't feel comfortable wearing it out. Also, I couldn't quite get it zipped. Wish they had the same cami with a longer option because it really is a beautiful piece.

Fun Jacket For a Weekend Away
This was a fun jacket. It's comfortable and warm. It's way too funky for me to consider buying, but it was fun piece to wear away for a weekend. Make sure you look at a picture of the backside. I didn't realize it had all of the zipper details on the back until I received it. In a perfect world I would have liked it to be an inch longer, but otherwise the fit was great.

Too small, didn't wear
This was really cute but I was not able to wear it. I usually wear a medium quite comfortably but this was too tiny. I couldn't get it on properly. It was way too tight around the rib cage, and it was much more of a crop cut than I expected, so it showed more belly that I was willing to show, plus it was so tight that it cinched the midriff in a very unflattering way.

Perfection!
I love this blouse! I seriously considered buying it. The fit was great, the pattern and material are beautiful, and this is such a versatile piece as far as animal print goes. I wore it to work with a blazer and black slacks and I wore it to dinner twice with black skinny jeans. I got many compliments each time I wore it. I will say that the buttons in the front don't go all the way down, so you do get a little peak of midriff, but just a tiny bit, and I have a long torso, so that may not be the case for others. I highly recommend this blouse and I can definitely see myself renting it again this summer.

Beautiful, gigantic bag!
This bag is gorgeous! And it is enormous! This is a great weekday bag. I have all of my normal purse stuff in it, plus I can easily slip my lunch, ipad, a notepad, water bottle, etc into it as I run around during the week. It's way too big for weekends though. I was lazy and didn't feel like switching bags and took it to dinner one night and it needed it's own chair. My only critique is that it does not have many pockets or pouches to keep things organized, so my phone and keys keep getting lost in the bottom, but I've enjoyed having this bag for a few weeks.

Pretty Print
I loved the print of this and the material was very light. It looked great on me. The only con is that the neck has a tie in the back and I kept having to adjust it throughout the day. I only wore it once, but the pattern was really nice.

Really Pretty Pattern
I did not initially love this blouse. I have sort of a long torso so the "waist" section settled at the bottom of my rib cage. But I decided to wear it to work anyways even though is was a little shorter than I would have liked. I'm glad I did because I seriously got almost 10 compliments on it. It's a really pretty, vibrant cut, and is very light and comfortable. Perfect for spring. I wore it twice.

Great cut and nice pattern
I wore this to a baby shower. I loved this dress! It's a nice, light material and the cut it really nice and flattering. The belt around the waist added nice shape. The neckline was a tad low for my liking, and the skirt portion was a little short in the back (I had to be careful any time I bent over), but otherwise this was a great daytime dress.

Light, Versatile blouse
I really like this blouse. I wore it out to dinner with jeans, and twice to work - once with white jeans and a blazer and and another day with black slacks. This is really versatile and a nice, light silk. I got a medium and I usually wear a medium, so the fit was spot on. The only con is that it did get a little wrinkly at the hip crease from me sitting at my desk all day.

Cute, but shoulder slips up
As others have commented, this is a great cut and color, the only con is that the shoulder tends to pop up and over the shoulder (more so than other tops with this cut that I've worn). I didn't have a major problem since I just wore it to dinner so I was sitting pretty still, but if you're wearing it for a night out with a lot of walking or dancing it will probably make you crazy unless you have some fashion tape to secure it.

Love this dress!
I'm obsessed with this dress! I rented it for my birthday dinner, but I'm going to hold on to it for a baby shower because it was such great dress it's worth wearing a few times. I'm typically a medium, but I got a large because my rib cage is wide so this type of bodice tends to be snug on me. That was the right decision because the fit was almost perfect (the boobs had a little more fabric than was necessary, but that's just me being picky, it wasn't noticable). The straps are adjustable and the length is the same on all sizes, so sizing up was no problem. The material was really nice and sturdy. This is the perfect spring dress! I got one that still had the purchasing tag on it, and the tag said Large / 8 (in case that helps with sizing. And my bust is 36 in for fitting reference.

A little poufy if you're busty
I like this blouse, but I did not love the way it rested in the front. It sits sort of like a baby doll dress, so if you're busty it will puff out quite a bit. I wore it with a jacket and that helped with the lines. I wore it a couple of times with unlimited, but I'm glad it was a rental and I didn't buy it.

Love it - perfect for work
I love this blouse! The fit is great, the material is lightweight, and the ruffles on the sleeve are just right. I will definitely get several wears out of this before I return it.

This skirt is great. It's really pretty and flows beautifully. That pattern is gorgeous
My only dislike is the sizing/waist band. I'm a pretty true medium (my waist is 29 in) and this medium was snug. I had to wear it much higher on my waist than is intended, which affected how the fabric sat on my hips. So it was not a perfect fit at all. The waistband also has zero give. But, I still wore it out and got a number of compliments on it. The quality was great, the sizing just wasn't a good match.
