Sturdy, Classy Little Clutch

I loved this clutch. It has a very cool feel to it and the decorative cage actually helps you grip it. I didn't have the same problem as one of the reviewers here who said it kept popping open. The one I used was very sturdy. I felt like I could go swimming with it (but wouldn't advise doing so). I wore it with a plain emerald-green sheath dress, nude peeptoe pumps, and gold/emerald earrings. The clutch made the whole outfit feel a notch classier. As the other reviews have stated, it is quite small inside. It looks so big from the outside, but then you open it and wonder why both your phone and compact won't fit. I was able to carry my iPhone 4S (fattened up with one of those stick-on credit card pockets, which held my ID and credit card) and small emergency barrette, but I had to go without lip balm and entrust my keys to the safekeeping of my boyfriend's enviously useful man-pant pockets.

Gorgeous, comfy, and totally appropriate for a Muslim wedding

I was one of a handful of non-Muslims attending a Muslim wedding, so it was important to me to show respect by dressing modestly. First, the things that made this dress amazing: I absolutely LOVED the semi-cowl neck, which was expertly cinched and laid on me exactly as it's shown on the model in the picture. I want this neckline on every article of clothing I own because it makes me feel like Bette Davis. The fabric itself was adequately luxurious, well lined, and super comfortable. The few downsides of this dress were solely related to my petite frame. I knew this wasn't a petite style when I ordered it, so I'm still giving 5 stars because the quality was excellent and I was not misled in the least. Still, I want to include this info for other petite women considering renting this dress: The hem stopped about 3-4 inches below my knees; the zipper, being a couple inches too long for my torso, formed a small bump on my lower back; and the long sleeves were a bit loose and covered my wrists completely (most noticeable in the selfie I posted here). If I owned this dress I'd tailor the hell out of it -- but because my goal for this wedding was to err on the side of modesty, these "flaws" ended up suiting the occasion even better. The rest of the dress fit me exactly as I wanted it to: form-fitting, but not tight. I could breathe, eat, and move my arms around with the best of 'em, all without feeling like a small child wearing her mother's nightgown.

Just right for an evening wedding

These earrings were lovely. I wore them with an emerald-green dress (a Badgley Mischka, also from RTR) and the gold complemented it beautifully. They are a bit on the heavy side, so my piercings themselves were stretched ever so slightly during wear, and after about 4-5 hours of wear my earlobes were beginning to ache -- hence the 4-star rating instead of 5.
