Great Retro Style and Length for Tall Girls
OK, so these are definitely not flattering but they are a very cute throwback style and SO comfortable. I'm 5'8" and was thrilled to finally rent jeans long enough but only wore them once because of how unflattering they were on my butt and waist.

Unique Every Day Denim
The fit is classic and the navy section on the outside of each leg is a unique elevation on an every day jean. The butt pockets on these jeans (and possibly all jeans in this brand) are a bit high and wide. These would be really flattering on a straight up and down shape but gave my already curvy shape a little bit too much extra optical illusion curve, so I only wore them twice.

Boxy but classy
The shape just wasn’t flattering on me. I sized down and still found the torso to be oversized and shapeless. The tie waist helped, but not enough.

Great Summer Top
I rented this to wear on vacation and ended up going with something else but it is a very cute, slightly elevated basic crop top to pair with a high waisted skirt or jeans. The shoulders can also be pulled down for an off the shoulder look.

Nice staple
The fabric feels high quality but I didn't end up wearing this because of how clingy it was. It could have been a static issue. I was disappointed because I've been looking for a super lux basic black top to wear for work and thought I might actually buy this one, but it just fell short of my expectations, given the price.

Funky Floral
These pants fit my shape well (smaller waist, wider hips) and were a good alternative to basic cropped pants on vacation. I didn't realize until I got them home that the colorful pattern is made of floral bouquets - the print just looks a bit abstract until you're up close. I wore them with a basic white top and they worked well.

Cute Prairie Style Leather
The fabric and cut of this skirt are kind of a cool contrast. The skirt has some volume to it which would make it pair well with a cropped or form fitting top. I didn't end up wearing it, but it is cute.

Conservative but Trendy
This is a great piece for work travel because it doesn't wrinkle. The neckline and length lean conservative but the sheer sleeves help balance it out. I wanted to wear it for a night out but would have sized down for that just to give it a sexier fit.

Cute Top!
This top has a nice flow to it and it works well with jeans for a night out. You can tie the front feature tightly to raise the front hem a bit and give it a better shape. Nice length in the back for us longer-waisted girls.

Nice Everyday Top
This sweater is made of a very nice thin fabric which allows it to be dressed up if needed. It fits well under a blazer.

Cute wide leg
These are very true to size wide leg jeans. They look great for every day. At 5’8” I find the 32” inseam to be a bit too short, even with sneakers, and I definitely couldn’t wear these with heals. Other than that, nice jeans.

This jacket has such a chic, slightly masculine power suit fit. It pairs perfectly with the matching pants. Got so many compliments and felt like a boss.

Great Faux Leather Wrap Skirt
Super on trend, this is a gorgeous burgundy color. It zips on the side - so not a true functional wrap - but the tie on the partial wrap can be pulled slightly tighter at the waist if need be. Super cute with booties.

elegant and versatile
This was really perfectly snug across the middle and top. I'm pear shaped and it fit perfectly. I could have used two more inches in the length, though. At 5'8" I found it to be awkward to find the right shoes since my entire foot and half my ankle showed, but not in an "ankle length" kind of way.

Snug on top, definitely a vibe!
The colors are vibrant and this dress is beautiful. I loved how snug it was on top because I didn't have to wear a bra, but others may struggle if they are better endowed ;)

Beautiful Details, Gorgeous Neckline
I love this dress. The sweetheart neckline and cuff sleeves are so well-made and stay in place effortlessly. At 5‘8“ though, I do wish the dress was a few inches longer. I actually didn’t end up wearing this because it was showing more of my calves than I wanted to show in the winter.

Fun Cruise or vacay dress!
I found this dress to be ever so slightly large around the chest area, but perfect everywhere else. If I had sized down for a better fit up top, it would not have been as flowing as I wanted it around the hips. It’s a really funky pattern and the shoulder gathering is very on trend and high-end. Perfect for Vacay.

Great gold chain with sparkly purse
This is a great purse. I was able to fit my phone and a few cosmetic items into it. The chain is a good quality and adds a nice little color pop to an all black outfit.

Elegant and Statuesque
This is a beautifully made, and well tailored dress. The tiny see-through bit at the waist is very flattering. The structure of the dress gives it a very dignified and elegant look. I found this to be a perfect fit on the top and slightly tight on the bottom, but with larger hips and thighs that was expected.

Top is tricky
This is a great looking dress with a tricky top. I sized down in holes the top would be tight enough to hold me in with no bra but the straps were too long and the top too loose so I couldn’t wear. There is a pretty light pink in the skirt which wasn’t very obvious in the photos.

Cute, everyday sweater
I’m 5’8” and the length was perfect with leggings. It’s a cozy casual sweater. The pattern feels very camouflage so I felt a bit rural wearing it, but it was fine for every day.

Oversized, Thick sweater
I ended up not wearing this sweater because the fit was just not flattering on me. It is a very thick material and I actually expected better quality from such a well-known brand.
