Being itchy makes me b*tchy
This was cute and high quality, but I couldn't stand how itchy I was all day long!

Fab, but not functional
Renters should note that I'm 5'8 with legs that are disproportionately long compared to my torso. and these were still long on me while wearing flats! Perfect for heels at that height though. Ignore my fit rating otherwise because I accidentally ordered a few sizes larger than my normal fit. These trousers are gorgeous and I received numerous complements, but I won't rent them again. They have zero functional pockets and the zipper on the side doesn't have a top clasp. They are very luxe and VERY heavy, on top of being wildly itchy.

Yikes! Office flasher dress
This dress has snaps and buckles, but it is like wearing a loose robe that you belt just under the chest and then walk around letting it all hang out. The snaps come undone really easily and the top is extremely large and loose. If it wasn’t for the belt hanging on for dear life and some miraculously quick reflexes, I would’ve been one horrific moment away from accidentally becoming the break room flasher

Ideal for business travel
I was pleasantly surprised with this one! This jacket is so warm, comfortable and soft that it is perfect for work travel while being stuck on a chilly plane! An even nicer surprise was how many kind strangers complimented my outfit!

Tight in the top
I loved the look of this dress, but you should note the top is extremely snug! I am by no means someone who has ever been described as having an ample bosom and I felt it was uncomfortably constrictive and even looked tight. I imagine this one would be a no-go for anyone who is actually blessed in that area!

This is a darling dress, but it will be super short on the tall gals. The material is nice and thick but does wrinkle really easily.

I liked this piece but it wasn’t flattering at all. Definitely cozy sweater vibes more than a tailored work look.

Cute but too short for work!
This dress is darling, but way shorter than I expected! I sized up to give it some extra length hoping to wear it on a work trip, but it still was far too short to wear to the office.

Peep Show
This romper was lower cut than I was expecting! The top is adjustable with the tie feature, but I could not tie it tight enough to look modest enough for the party I was attending, and I didn’t fill it out well enough to keep it from gaping open and accidentally flashing people. This would be cute for a night out, but if you aren’t looking for a saucy look, I would proceed with caution!

A stomach hug just a bit too snug
I lovedddd this dress, but since I carry all of my weight in the middle, I felt like it didn’t love me back quite yet. I think if I had other curves to balance it out I would’ve rocked this dress, but I felt like it was hugging my stomach just a bit too snug for me to feel comfortable tearing up the dance floor later! This photo was taken while wearing shape wear. With that being said, the style and cut made the smallest part of my waist feel so extremely tiny! My muffin top is my biggest insecurity, but that’s my own problem! You on the other hand NEED to rent this dress and let me live vicariously through you!

Cute Sweater, Odd Neckline
A perfect sweater for fall or winter, but trust the other reviews when they say the neckline is a bit odd. I had to keep adjusting to make sure my bra straps weren't hanging out. I'm a small-busted gal and I honestly can't decide if this cut is better for those of us on the IBTC or for the full figured ladies. I guess you'll have to try it out yourself and let me know what you decide!

Felt like Green Man
This dress is cute but it really is GREEN.. which probably sounds ridiculous because obviously it is green. It was maybe borderline "Green-man" level of green, I felt a little like I was channeling my inner Charlie Kelly wearing this color. It also runs a little bit large, especially in the top and straps

Okay I hate to be the person who calls a Lululemon product "buttery soft" but wowowow this sweatshirt was really worth all the hype. I considered purchasing but I wanted to try out the black color as well and decide which one was my favorite.

Great dress for a winter event! The royal blue made it feel more festive than most of my winter wardrobe. I loved the little slit for an extra bit of pizzazz. I sized up after reading other reviews that the dress ran small, and was glad I did.

No Bend and Snap in this Outfit
Loved the vibrant color of this dress, especially for the middle of winter when most of my closet is usually black, dark grey, light grey, or black. Renter beware, this dress is SHORT. Do not plan to bend and snap in this outfit or you may find yourself rather exposed.

Straps Too Long
I didn't end up wearing this dress because the straps are so long! If they were adjustable, this dress would be close to perfect, but I couldn't go for more than 30 seconds with both straps falling down off my shoulders.

Upper Thigh, My Oh My
This dress is so cute but SO SHORT for tall girls! I sized up significantly after reading reviews in hopes of it being longer, but that didn't work out how I had hoped! If it was a romper or if I was wearing it around a different crowd I probably wouldn't have cared much, but I had to send it back!

Relived My Own Birth
I am genuinely curious how others were able to wear this sweater. I went to put it on and physically could not get my head through the opening. Why is the head hole so small?? I was almost able to pull my head through, but then I stopped and realized how terrified I would be to take the sweater back off. I took a photo to demonstrate for you how I was not able to fit my head in the hole. For reference, I would also like to note that I have a small head and normal baseball hats look big on me.

Groundbreaking Floral Dress
This dress was super cute and perfect for spring or summer. You could dress it up or dress it down depending on how you wanted to wear it. It did run a bit big, but the shoulder straps tie so you could tighten it up some if you needed to! Loved the low back of this dress, it added just a little pop of sexy with this otherwise very sweet look.

I liked this sweater overall! It's a flattering cut, but you have to be careful with the way it's made or suddenly you're feeling a little exposed. I think it would look best with a high waisted skirt so you don't have to worry about it riding up. I had to readjust the top a few times, but being small chested it wasn't much of an issue. Bigger busted gals might have a problem though!

Comfy enough to chow down at the buffet
I received so many compliments on this dress when I wore it to a wedding! The wrap style was flattering and comfortable. I will say that it wrinkles very easily so I spent quite awhile steaming it after it arrived. It also ran a bit large in the waist, so I ended up sizing down.

This jumpsuit runs extremely small and skin tight. So tight in fact, I looked like a sausage in a casing. As you can imagine, not the look I had in mind to attend an engagement party. Size up, size up, size up.
