Smaller than expected, more silver than gold in person
I rented this instead of using my own clutches, thinking that it can fit my rather bulky point and shoot camera (4" L x 2.5" H x 3.5" D) because of the ruching. In the end, I ended up holding my camera separately! The clutch I received from RTR also looks a little beat up - not sure if it's because of the distressed leather finish, or if it's from previous use?

Flowy pastel feminine dress perfect for spring and summer outdoor weddings
Pros: light, flowy fabric with flattering bias cut drape that hugs your curves, great for hot summer days. The pretty pastel colors will win you lots of compliments. Cons: very tight around ribcage. I couldn't eat much, because the dress felt like it would burst at the seams any moment. I ordered size 4, what I normally wear with other brands, but I couldn't even pull the zip up. Had to size up to a 6. Like other reviewers say, because of the drapey collar around the decolletage area, USE DOUBLE SIDED TAPE on your bra, otherwise when you bend down, others will be able to see all your "goods", all the way down to your waist!

Billionaire bling
Rented this for a wedding and wore it with Lela Rose Galaxy Tweed Dress. Gem colors complemented the dress well, and just the right amount of sparkle. However, the opening on the back of the cuff is too wide, and it kept falling off my wrist as it rotated around. Wish it has a hinge closure!

Everyday wear
I like the daintiness of the bangle. It is adjustable, but also on the flimsy side. The pointy ends on the back scratched against my skin when I put it on.

DInner out with friends
Earrings are top-heavy, so they hang funny on my ears. The gold semi-circular top part sticks out further in front when worn. They started to hurt my ears after a few hours of wear, so I took them off.

Love these earrings. Light, great for everyday wear. Very trendy and a subtle hint of gold sparkle in the black part.

Work presentation to the Met's curator
Boxy fit runs large, even for the menswear trend this fall. Size M was too big, and I normally wear size 4-6 for jackets. Should order one size down. Zip throughout the back seam can make the vest even larger.

Size Worn: M

Everyday work
Practical bag for work and general everyday use. No bag sag with this structured satchel, and it fits letter size papers and folders. Opening and closing the bag can be fussy with the latch and having to insert the straps through their slots, but this does keep the contents secure! Color and finish is a duller dark navy blue, more matte and less glossy than shown in the product photo.

Light, just the right about of shiny. Versatile enough for everyday or formal wear.

Used this on a trip to Spain.
Bag is big enough to hold a 15" Macbook Pro, but is unfortunately soft and floppy, so small items were easily lost in the bag. Not having a zipper meant things could fall out easily. Metallic finish on leather scratched easily.
