Cute tee
This is a cute everyday tee. It has a slightly relaxed fit, so it will hide a little tummy.

Forgiving
This skirt is made of a stretchy material and is very forgiving. When I picked it out on my phone, I didn’t realize that the pattern contains dark olive stripes.

Not good for apples.
This would be a cute sweater for someone else. It has a subtle shimmer to it. It has some open weave, but you can still wear a regular bra with it. The puff sleeves aren’t too overpowering. Unfortunately it did accentuate my mommy tummy. It is warmer than expected, and didn’t feel itchy.

Boxy
This is cute, but I found the fit to be too boxy for me. It wasn’t very warm. It would only be suitable for early Fall or Spring. I had been wanting to buy a B jacket, but I was glad I got to test drive it through RTR.

It doesn’t look black.
This bag looked like it was navy IRL. It’s a nice size for every day, if you don’t need to carry a lot. It has a little pouch where you can put some cards and cash.

These earrings add interest to an outfit, and aren’t overpowering. They feel light. The bottom stone has micro glitter.

Pretty blouse!
I got this for a party where you were supposed to dress up like someone from the 60s or 70s. I styled it with wide leg jeans, clogs, and a flower crown. I liked this top so much, I kept it for another month. It looks cute styled with lots of things. The sleeves have a good bit of volume, and it has a loose fit around the waist.

Easy shirt
This was a nice shirt to wear for casual occasions. The length was perfect to wear without tucking in, but not too short where you are showing your belly. The pattern looked more brown than in the pictures. It is great for traveling. I threw it in an overnight bag, and didn't have to iron it.

Easy to throw on.
This is a great everyday sweater. You could also throw it over a party dress. It is TTS and hides a mommy tummy. It is warmer than I thought it would be. It’s nice for late Fall going into Winter.

Cute lil bag!
This bag is adorable! I used it for a beach wedding. I got several. compliments on it. The opening is a little small, so I had to wedge my phone in it, and shuffle things around to get it closed. I am thinking about buying it.

Cute little bag
This is a cute bag. I borrowed it during the cold weather and it would constantly slide off my shoulder when I was wearing a puffer coat. I also wouldn’t rent it if I was going somewhere that had a lot of pickpockets, because it seems like it would be easy for them to get into.

Hated the cutout
The cutout on the back of the dress hit me in a weird, unflattering spot. The color was pretty and it looked good with knee high boots.

More fun than the average sweater
I wore this to a casual party at a sports bar. The cutout in the back was a nice detail that added interest. The sleeves were a bit puffy, so that it was hard to get my coat on. This hid my mommy tummy.

Probably better for narrow shoulders..,
This is a very cute sweater. It felt a little itchy as I was putting it on, but I was able to wear it all day without it bothering me. The style seems to make my shoulders look bigger. I am an inverted triangle, so I had to switch my pants to create a more balanced silhouette. It hid my mommy tummy.

Seinfeld puffy shirt!
Do you want to look 10lbs heavier? This is the top for you! I tried using an obi belt; I tried tucking it in. I couldn’t make this top work. It’s a shame because the fabric and color is nice.

You might need a friend!
This is a gorgeous dress. I received many compliments from people who are stylish in their own right. This hid my mommy tummy, and the top is structured, so I could go braless. I am 5’6” and this fit more like a maxi for me. The problem is that the fabric doesn’t have stretch, so I couldn’t zip it up by myself. I had to call a friend to come zip it up for me!

This is a fun bag to add a pop of color to your outfit. It doesn’t close very tightly, so it’s not good if you are going somewhere that has a lot of pickpockets.

Way too puffy!
The sleeves are very puffy on this shirt. I generally like a puff sleeve, but I found it to be over the top. It has a short and boxy fit. My daughter asked me if I was going to have another baby, because it made me look pregnant!!

Just the right amount of sexy!
This dress gives a nice flash of leg, but the slit isn’t so high that you have to worry about showing too much. I’m 5’6 and the length was perfect. It magically hides my mommy tummy. The fabric is soft and comfortable. It doesn’t wrinkle. I received lots of compliments in this dress.

Just ok!
I can’t believe the retail price for this bag. The chain made it look cheap. I took off the chain and used it as a clutch. It has a secret pouch that was able to hold a normal size wedding card. You could hold a surprising amount in this little bag.

Not for me.
This dress made me look 10 lbs heavier. I am 5'6 & the dress fell several inches below my knee. It was also missing a button & smelled weird. This would probably work on someone who was really skinny & wanted to make their boobs look bigger.

Sexy and classy dress. I got so many compliments on it. I had given birth, not too long ago; the ruching, along with spanx, camouflaged my poochie belly. The top is a little roomy, so I wore a black cami underneath. The only problem I had was that it had a lot of static, so the bottom kept climbing up my legs. Luckily my sister had a small can of "Static Guard" in her purse!
