So easy and elevated
Great mix of colors, very airy and casual but still looks very luxe

Beautiful!
Lovely drape, very forgiving, surprisingly easy to style. Endless compliments.
Grace Skirt

Loved the profile
A little big everywhere, but still fine, and very comfortable. The gathers are asymmetrical, which was a little odd, but I wore this with a belt around the waist and a silky skirt -- got tons of compliments.
Chino Top

Not for my short body
This was beautiful and lightweight, would have been the perfect layer for work dresses in spring or summer. But the sleeves were comically long, and even if I'd rolled & scrunched them up, the proportions were off everywhere. Going down a size might have helped a little, but I think it was just designed for a taller person.

Comfortable work event staple
Fit like a dream, flattering and comfortable for an all-day work event.
Leehert Dress
Lauren Ralph Lauren
Size Worn: 12
Usual Size: 12

Bust: 38C
Versatile, tons of compliments
It was easy to wear for a lot of occasions and I got tons of compliments, even one time when I threw on a hideous hiking vest over it to run a quick errand. Considered buying. It's cut little boxy, but the fabric is light and fluid enough that it doesn't feel like too much shirt, even on a short round person like me.
Blondie Lace Top

Size Worn: L
Usual Size: 12

Good basic
This was a little thicker material than I expected, so it was a little less polished looking than I'd hoped. Still, I got tons of wear out of this -- very easy to wear and style, and just elevated enough.
Double Neck Jumper
Sandro
Size Worn: 4
Usual Size: 12

Strange fabric, kinda boring
The fabric was odd, like mimicking vintage acrylic sweaters. Overall, the sweater didn't seem special at all.
Navy Brushed Knit Cardigan With Sparkle Buttons
Adam Lippes x RTR
Size Worn: L
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 0"

So fun, but still work appropriate
The front seam looked odd in the pictures but it wound up being very flattering and took the emphasis off my tummy pooch. Wore it out on date night and to work.
Medea Top
Ulla Johnson

Polished, easy to wear
Fit perfectly. Looked polished and was the perfect weight for spring.
Minto Cardigan With Pockets

Size Worn: L
Usual Size: 12

Fun but didn't scream upscale
A little clingy, especially in the arms, but since it's stretchy it was not uncomfortable.
Polo Shirt

Sausage casing if you have biceps
Great fabric and colors, but the arms were absurdly tight. I couldn't have sized up either because then the shoulders would have been too broad. Such a shame because everything else about it fit tts and looked great.

Osiris Jacquard Collared Cardigan

Flattering on curves
These were a smidge tight at first but loosened the exact right amount after an hour of wear, and they looked fantastic on my thick thighs/big booty -- nice snatching effect, no flattening. The color/texture was easy to match to different types of tops.

Dell Pants
Veronica Beard
Size Worn: 12
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 0"
Weight: 168lbs
Bust: 38C
Polished, comfortable
Quintessential business casual. I wore it to meet my new boss in person for the first time at a casual lunch -- a suit would've been trying too hard, a buttondown is unflattering on me. This was really comfortable and lightweight, forgiving of lumps & bumps, and was a flattering length (just covered my midrise waistband), all while being very polished and high-end looking. I regret not buying!

Flattering, versatile
I've recently gained a bit of weight, so it was awesome to find a dress that flattered my shape without clinging to pudges, made me feel confident and comfortable, and could be dressed up or down. I layered this with a cardigan and puffer vest for a trip to Bogota, but remove the layers and swap the boots for something heeled and it would be just as great for date night or an event.
Gathered Mesh Dress
GANNI
Size Worn: 42
Usual Size: 12

Versatile, sophisticated
An easy, elevated basic. I wore this endlessly on a trip to Bogota. The pop of cobalt blue, the comfortable cut, the color blocking that managed to match everything-- it made me feel polished and stylish across several types of outfits.
Holly Color Block Cardigan

Chic, perfect for 30deg in NYC
Effortless attitude -- super easy to throw on and go. Weather was 25-40degrees in NYC and this was the perfect weight over a sweater. My only complaint was the pockets-- I kept expecting to have pockets I could stick my hands or phone into as I walked ...but a minor issue for what an overall versatile and flattering jacket this was.
Caffeine Rush Jacket
BLANKNYC
Size Worn: M
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 0"

Bust: 38C
Endless compliments
I don't exactly know why everyone gravitates to this sweater, but they do -- people commented on it more than anything I've ever worn in my life. I'm tempted to buy it. It's a midweight smooth knit, which feels polished and high quality. I hover between M/L in tops and got this in L. The shoulders and sleeves were a bit big on me (had to cuff the sleeves), but I don't think it would have been comfortable to size down to M.
Olives Crew Neck Sweater
Terez
Size Worn: L
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 0"

Wanted to buy
Chunky fabric that makes it look intentional and edgy, doesn't veer childish or frumpy like I worried it might. Tons of compliments every time I wore it.
Bunny Tank Top
JW Anderson
Size Worn: L
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 0"
Weight: 168lbs
Bust: 38C
Polished, comfy, bad for puddles
Really high rise but just slightly long on my 5' frame (typically 28-29" inseam). For being a knit pant, these were surprisingly polished. I paired with a tunic length black sweater to cover the kinda awkward high rise and the baggy lines around the crotch, which I don't think taller people would encounter.
Houndstooth Wide Leg Pants
ASHLEY PARK x RTR
Size Worn: L
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 0"
Weight: 168lbs

Weirdly warm
This looked great and the pattern mixed with a lot of options. The ruched sleeves would be better with thumb holes imo. I would have worn this way more if the material wasn't incredibly unbreathable -- I wore it & a bra camisole underneath on a 65 degree day and was sweating.
