Basic but nice (& with pockets!)
Nice eggplant color, even though the stock photo looks more red. It has pockets and is comfortable, flattering. Nothing special about it but also nothing wrong with it.

This is ... fine
Fun print, true to size, good work skirt, doesn't set my life on fire. Has pockets on the butt with flaps that stick out which is unfortunate.

Great color, weird fit
Nice work dress. Color is plum-ish. The fit is a little odd - can't lift arms all the way up because restrictive sleeves and my chest doesn't fill the top out. But overall, I like this dress. Will wear it once to work.

Nice weekend or work dress
Wore this for a weekend at the beach with friends. Comfortable and great for day through dinner. Has pockets. The collar had to be ironed when I got it, had a tendency to flip up. True to size.

Love the print, meh on material
This is not really a coat, it is like a heavy sweater. The material is not stiff like a coat and it is unlined and itchy. Love the color and plaid though.

Don't overlook!
I found this in the store and rented on a whim. It's really a fun print and so comfortable. I would have totally ignored this online. Material does wrinkle so it wouldn't travel well.

Fun winter work dress
The material is heavy, almost like upholstery. Fun colors and with pockets! It isn't necessarily flattering since it's a little stiff and it is a bit tight on the arm holes but it's an unexpected nice piece.

Comfortable and fun
These are just normal, black jean overalls. Nothing unusual about them. Comfortable and fun. They would be a weird length on a taller person, but for a short person they are perfect.

Don't overlook!
I would have never chosen this online but I picked it up in the store on a whim and it's a great little work dress. Fun print and I felt fantastic all day. It is a little snug around the butt/thighs but overall the fit was fine.

Great pattern, but big and shapeless
I was really looking forward to wearing this coat but it's just ok. It's boxy and fits big (if you are about 5'2", size 6 I'd recommend a small). The first button is about an inch above my belly button so my entire chest is exposed so it's not really practical for cold weather. But great pattern and I'll keep shopping around for something similar!

Good not great
This dress is colorful and fun. Material is a little unforgiving, though, could see the lines from my tights, etc underneath it.

Perfect fit, fun pattern
This is the first Kate Spade dress I haven't had to immediately send back because of a weird fit. Pattern is subtle but fun and not aggressively quirky. Great work dress. A little hard to pair with tights for winter because of the Navy/red but it was fun to try. Will definitely keep for a few wears. At 5'2" it went to my knees. I really felt so great in this dress. It is worth mentioning that while I love this dress, it does not feel expensive at all. There is weird, cheap-looking rouching in the back and it is 100% polyester.

Ludacris proportions and yet...
You know that scene at the end of the movie Big where Tom Hanks shrinks back to a kid but is still wearing the oversized suit coat as he walks home? That is what I felt like in this coat. The sleeves were too long, the shoulders were insane, and at 5'2" the length was just above my ankles and yet every time I went outside someone complimented this coat. Shrug emoji. It's a great plaid for December and warm for the mid 30s. I wish I looked less silly in it because it is a great coat.

Cute enough but not high quality
This sweater/shirt is sort of a ribbed material and I think it had made the rounds before I got it because it does appear pretty worn. The color isn't as bold as in the picture but it is still nice. The piece is fun and goes great with wool gray pants for a professional winter work look. Arm ruffles sort of flop, do not have structure.

Great plaid dress
I wore this dress a couple times to work and then to our work Christmas party. It is an unusual cut but somehow flattering even though it does not define the waist. Great with tights and black boots. The stripes are pink, not red which is unexpected. It was insanely comfortable and I was sad to send it back.

Cute jeans
These are high wasted and a bit long (if you're short). I had to cuff them but that worked. Fun to wear!

Fun, quirky coat!
This is a fun coat but like other reviewers have said, the fur is GREEN. It is removable but that would push the coat into generic territory. It's very comfortable. The waist isn't defined so it isn't particularly flattering but has personality. The fur is very snug at the neck.

Fancy scuba diver
As others have said, this shirt is tight and an odd material. I was going to send it back immediately but it actually works well with pants for work. I felt like a powerful scuba diver from a weird military group. I wouldn't buy but it's a fun out of the box shirt.

Clown Pajamas
The material of these pants is pajama-like and the small fit makes you look insane if you were hoping to wear these to work. Other people's review photos make them look great (and you all look great in them!), but they just didn't work for me size or style-wise. Sending them back without wearing.

I didn't get to wear it, it is just too short.
Like other reviewers have said, this skirt is insanely short. I thought being 5' 2" I could get away with it but it would have been inappropriate for work. It is really cute though, too bad.

I didn't get a chance to wear it this cute dress because it was just too long.
This dress is so cute but if you are 5' 2", it is going to take some monster heels to keep it from dragging on the ground.
