Perfect fit On Trend
Jeans needed an update and this was perfect! Added bonus is real pockets, not the shortened girly ones you usually find in women’s jeans

The fringe on the bottom is so big and bold and so much fun! One star off because it is acrylic - would have preferred wool.

Short and chic!
This is a mini mini - but I pulled it off with black opaque tights, boots, black bodysuit underneath and the oversized jacket that matches. Shoulda taken a picture, because it made this middle-aged lady look on trend. FYI - skirt is too short to tuck a shirt into - it will peek out under the skirt

Color makes me smile
Perfect cozy sweater and that pop of color is all you need to smile. The sleeves were actually a perfect length for me, so you longer-limbed folks might find them a bit short. The crop is a perfect length - not too short for middle-aged-less-than-rock-hard abs.

Pajamas for work
Add heels and a jacket to these very pajama-like pants, and voila, ready for the office. Elastic waist is comfy, loved the print, pockets too. Only downside is the pants are not silk. FYI the pants are long. Needed heels or I was stepping on them.

Casual summer WFH
Totally loved these shorts! Elastic in the back waist makes the fit super adjustable. Inseam length is perfectly appropriate for anyone over the age of 20. Pockets, need I say more about that? Dressed up with wedges, but next look might be white flats with a white T.

Creamsicle Friday
I cannot love this dress enough! The color is everything, the fit hides a multitude of sins, and the details are fashion forward (loved the back exposed zipper down to the hemline and the wing sleeves). Statement necklace (vintage from my grandma), star earrings, and my trusty Fluevog booties to round out the look. Every Friday should be creamsicle Friday!

Superhero cape
Felt a little like cosplay, but still work appropriate. Very flattering from the back as the cape hides all flaws. It was comfortable for sitting in an all-day conference. Simple good accessories and black flats as the Cape adds enough drama.

Perfect combo of professional and stylish
I rented the dress with the matching coat and a total knockout combo. I am usually not a neutral palette fan, but the plaid added just enough drama. Only wish I had nude heels for this, but tons of compliments even in my black flats. Just happened to have the perfect necklace and earring to go with. FYI the 12 was super snug. If I were to rent again, I would try the 14.

Waaaaaaay to small
I am a 12, slouching to a 14 depending on the waist size, and this was not even close on the waist. Usually I will go with a 14 if the waist is tight, but this one was at least 2 inches from even being able to make it close. Almost seemed like this particular garment was miss-sized. Back it goes. Looked cute, otherwise.

Such an easy breezy style. Wore with flats since I was on the go all day. Heels would totally level up the sophistication. Minimal accessories (just earrings) because the dress does all the talking. As an added bonus, tons of compliments on this one!

Funky vibe
Fit was super long - needed the four inch heels to make the length right, and I am not short (5'7"). Fabric was a bit odd (polyester-y feeling), but I really liked the vibe of these, so I put on those heels and made it work.

This dress made me smile. The 12 was snug on my pear shape, but not uncomfortably so. Heavy fabric smoothed out the bumps and lumps, and that flirty hem was the bomb!

Lawn tennis, anyone?
Felt just like Daisy Buchanan before she sold out. The slight dropped waist gives it a 1930s vibe. Perfectly proper, so accessorized with pearls, but flirty as well. Lightweight sweater-type knit, but the bottom is crocheted (lined so no worries).

Perfect summer top to beat the heat!
The cotton was breathable, the neck stood well away from the skin, and the print was a refreshing pop of color. Paired it with jeans and sandals for a casual summer Friday at work.

Pretty but overdressed for work
Thought this would have a more boho vibe, but the fabric and tailoring made this dress very elegant. I wore it to work anyway - is anyone going to complain I am overdressed? - even though it would have been more appropriate for a wedding. True to size.

Fancy pants!
True to size, but a bit of elastic in the back of the waist adds a bit of give. Color was fun, super comfortable, and a breezy vibe for summer. They are lined to about the knee, which I found just made it hot. The polyester has a nice drape, but lacks breathability. Good for an air-conditioned office in the summer, but would be too hot for outside on a summer day.

Love the pockets, lightweight summer feel and getting used to the side cutouts. They are cool, literally, but not sure they are the most flattering for me.

Channelling my inner Nancy Sinatra
Such a fun 60s vibe with this - wish I had a pair of white patent leather go go boots to pair with this! Perfect work dress for a hot summer day. The cut of the dress is the star and I love that it only had one (generous and functional) pocket. The trapeze style camouflages a multitude of sins and the color exudes cool. Tons of compliments!

Cool and summery
Whisper light, beautifully cut, and oh so flattering. What's not to like? Need a strapless bra for this one. Did not like the feel of the halter pulling on my neck, but that is just a personal thing. Perfect for a hot summer day. Added a sweater for the office and still looked flirty - in a retro 50s kinda way.

Interesting waist detail
There are two elastic waists in this skirt about 2 inches apart. Makes is very adjustable for all figures. Was also oddly flattering, especially for an elastic waist. I could even tuck in the black tank top I paired it with. I opted for a bit of a goth vibe with platform black sandals, Frankenstein earrings and a vintage silver filigree heart choker on a black cord. At least I looked cool, even though the temperature was over 90.

Stylish way to keep your cool
Very lightweight and breezy, but flattering cut. Shoulders are narrow so a racerback bra worked best. Wanted the top to be the focus so went low key on the accessories with just a hint of red.
