Not fitted enough in the waist for me. A bit old fashioned. Had the fit been more flattering I would have been ok with it. Just not what I was hoping for.

I didn’t realize the neck tie was removable. It is attached with hidden buttons. The sweater is versatile thanks to that feature. It is a bit fuzzy, which I found fun. In this styling, I went for a western look. I also wore the sweater with chocolate colored trousers for a professional look. It paired well with a camel toned pencil skirt as well. Never tried navy, but I imagine this color would work well with it also. I wore it at least 4 times and it kept its shape well. I am very tolerant of itchy sweaters. This one didn’t bother me, but it has that fuzzy quality that may bother others. I loved it. Not super thick, great fall piece though.

In this styling I was getting ready for date night. Heels, lace socks etc. This sweater plays well for corporate looks too. The buttons work and it looked great over turtle necks with trousers, silk/satin tops etc. There is a tiny peek a boo happening at the navel, which I can’t do professionally. But with some layering it was a great piece for anything. I prefer it as a casual piece though. I didn’t even wear a bra, absolutely no itch. Favorite pairings are the one pictured, with satin and silk textures or with jeans. That was my favorite way to style. Feels like a blanket. Gonna keep it for a while.

I went with the large because DDD and 38 hips, true hourglass. But I may have been able to pull off the medium. Though the fit of the large was truly perfect. It laid perfectly across my wide hips and chest and hugged me enough at my waist. In this styling I wore a tailored button down under for a corporate look. The belt may be a challenge for some. Pin it if you don’t like it hanging down. I tried it hanging and knotted it another time. The buttons are working and I am known for my button obsession, so I ofc had to make use of them. I plan to try this a few different ways and keep for a while. I am glad I went with a larger size, I feel it has a greater range for styling because of it. I can wear shirts under it. Maybe a turtle neck, I may try the dress with jeans look too. Who knows! I am excited about this one.

I loved styling this piece. The buttons are working and give it a rich feel that translates to work. I went with an oversized look and shouldn’t have. The large was more oversized than I bargained for but I made it work. Gathered the waist with a belt and folded up the sleeves for a dolman sleeved look, in this styling. Next time I will go with the medium. A tiny itty bit of itch towards the end of the day around my neck. Looked great as a layering piece for work or with jeans. Vivid color that you should only dry clean. Simply what you come to expect from Kate Spade.

I love Boss. I am a 28 waist and the size 10 rested about 2 inches below my navel. Most a line skirts should rest at the navel. I will try the 8 next. Regardless, this skirt is fantastic. The fabric is to die for. Goes with navy, black and red and the length is corporate appropriate.

This blazer is more of a coat. It’s gorgeous. Not for warm weather, full stop. Buttery soft. The sleeves are short and I could not determine if it was purposeful or not. I plan to try a size 4 next. I am normally a 10 (36 chest, 28-30 inch waist, 38 inch hips), Hourglass. However, this jacket looked like a man’s jacket on me and not in a good way. I wore it on resting on my shoulders, I have seen French women doing this. I love this suit so much that I plan to try the smaller size even if the length of the sleeves are comically short. Wore with a Kate Spade sweater and matching skirt.

I wanted to buy this one. This was the piece that introduced me to Toccin. This sweater paired with about a dozen things in my closet which was surprising to me. I kept it for over a month. I am tall (5.9) and it set just at my belly button. I paired the piece with crisp collared button downs and jeans, on top of a Sandro sleeveless dress for work (corporate prof), with a silk top and trousers and more and more. It transitions well to work, drinks, and errands. Do not ruin this piece by washing at home ladies. Dry clean only. The color is perfection.

I was sold on the idea of this one. I didn't find the sweater itchy but the neck itched and within a few hours of wearing it I was red on my neck. I ended up wearing it a second time with a turtle neck underneath and unzipped like a jacket and that was a good work around. I went with a larger size because of my chest but likely would have been fine in the medium though the neck may have itched more. I may try this again in a medium with a turtle neck underneath because it is such a different piece.

I didn't think much about this top but I had strangers stopping me asking where I got it every time I wore it. The detail of the lace is striking. It felt old fashioned to me, I suppose that is the appeal. I styled it under short sleeved sweaters and blazers. I wore it alone with a silk cami underneath in a matching color with trousers. I plan to rent the short sleeve version in navy. It is growing on me. Treat it like a staple piece, a collared button down and from there it is very easy to work with. Looks great with jeans, trousers, silk skirts. Nothing too heavy though, the texture of the piece is the appeal, if you pair it with another texture heavy piece it looses something. Go for it!

I wore this piece more than expected. It paired well with cropped sweaters over top and also collared long sleeve tops underneath. I Didn't have any issue styling it. I also wore it with a floor length duster, and boots in the same color for a monochrome look. It is very richly made. Steams well. With the right undergarments it is a dream. Hard to return this one. I kept it for a month. Will definitely rent again GOAT for a corporate professional.

Such a great piece. I went with a medium and was surprised with how large it was. I am a DDD and likely would have done fine in the small. Which never happens for me! The buttons laid flat in the medium. the deep V is perfection. No itch and it has a fuzzy look to it with a deep navy blue and military like gold buttons that just pop against the blue. I wore this sweater to work and daily. With jeans, trousers etc. Alone without a bra with a french tuck in jeans and felt so european. Wore it with a unbuttoned button down and trousers to work etc. hard to return this one but I would like to try the small fit next time.

Not a chance in this one. Even sizing up just didn’t work. The mini bra is not removable. So it’s not really a wearable piece. A full inch of under boob was hanging out and it’s not supported, no cups or underwire of any kind.

I have a short waist so don’t let that deter you. I am all legs. I love the color and I pegged the bottoms due to were they hit my ankle. These are versatile for women with a regular torso and average height. For me I had to stick with cropped tops (also busty) but I still loved the look. Made me feel younger.

Many people complain about the neck ties and wrist ties..in my opinion, those are the exact reason this blouse is fantastic! I spent time trying different ways to wear the neck and liked it best tied off to the side and back instead of towards the front. I wore my hair up and loved it. You can’t see it here, but I wore purple pants in a periwinkle color. The top is almost eggplant not black as the background. Tons of compliments.

I fit in the medium but found it a bit restrictive in the arms. Went to the large and it’s perfect. I’m usually a 4-6. I have worn this dress many times. With heels boots and flat, cropped blazer, no blazer, and a full length vest. It’s very well built and in the right size, incredibly forgiving to bumps. I am considering buying it. I’m tall, so this may not work on a shorter woman.

I wouldn’t buy this shirt but I did wear it. I went with a medium because of my large bust and would have likely been fine in the small. It’s a nice pattern and color just didn’t really have much else going for it. The sleeves are ginormous and I think it’s by design. The sleeve length was perfect at my writer and I can see how the sleeve length would be a problem for a petite woman. I tucked in the front but not the back.

I love this top. The material is thick and feels expensive. I could have worn this untucked without the jacket. It’s fitted but with give in all the right places. I am tall, so the shirt may run long on short waisted or petite women. I plan to wear it with jeans running errands as well. It’s a functional piece likely to go with anything!

I like this blazer. It’s fully lined and fit my shoulders and waist but could not button due to my bust. This is usual for me. I wore it open with a sweater and didn’t feel restrained in the small size. This would work with skinny jeans for a night out too.

I could have done the XS. I wore the jacket uncinched because it was too large belted. It's surprisingly warm. Wore it with a midi length sweater dress and felt like royalty as it flowed behind me in the wind. I am tall and wear heels, I could see how this might not work on a petite woman. Considering adding this one to my permanent rotation.
