Fun and funky when shaped right
This shirt was so fun, but it's definitely just a big box if you don't shape it right. I wore it twice once totally tucked in and once with just the front tucked in. It's lightweight and breezy, so great for the summer!

Fun twist on a standard work shirt
This is your pretty average button up work shirt, but the fabric, neck tie, and slight billow in the arms made it a fun version. Would rent again for standard work wear.

Way too short
This shirt is *absurdly* short - even with high waisted jeans, the hem was incredibly high. Everything else fit, so I don't think sizing up would have helped. I have a very average length torso, so it may work better on those with short torsos.

Weird, weird fit
The fit of this shirt was all over the place - it was short and straight through the hips, but the crossover the top was so wide open that I would have definitely needed an undershirt if I ended up wearing this. You could probably pin or tape the top, but it just wasn't what I was hoping for as a lightweight summer work shirt.

Comfy staple top
This was a nice, flowy top for work. Nothing too special, though I will note that it wrinkles *incredibly* easily. I french tucked it for some shape definition, and the front wrinkled very quickly.

Fun, bright, a little funky
This definitely runs large - I ordered and XL because both the M and L weren't available, but definitely should have gone with the L or maybe even the M. The elastic at the top was great to keep things decent, but everything below the bust was a little unshapely. The color was super bright and fun, though!

Comfortable and fun for summer
This dress is lightweight, flowy, and perfect for summer. I wore it with a strapless bra just because the top is so casual. The gathered waist sat a little high on me, but I added a thin black belt and it pulled it together nicely.

Glam Comfort all night long!
I rented this dress for a Broadway opening, and it did not disappoint! The silhouette was so flattering, and the material is incredibly comfortable. The skirt flows in all the right ways and was so fun to dance in at the opening night party! It does run a little large on top, so although I needed the 12 for the waist, I had some issues keeping the top lined up properly (and I have a DD chest, so it's not like I was lacking in anything to hold it up). I wish that the red bustier and the floral overlay on top were attached, which would have helped with that. The tie was also incredibly long which was neat because it added a fun element, but was a bit of a pain when sitting down to make sure you didn't sit on it and untie it. Overall though, I would highly recommend this dress, especially if you don't want something incredibly tight on the hips/belly area - this hid all of that nonsense well!

The Perfect Sweater!
Love, love, love this sweater. The fit is PERFECT and classes up any silhouette - I wore it with ripped jeans for a casual look and with black cigarette pants for work. The pink and tan detailing is shimmery and adds the perfect extra element to the very versatile light grey. It's also a really great thickness - not too warm for indoors, but warm enough for the cold outside. Seriously considering buying this one!

Warm and Comfortable with just enough Class
This sweater was SO comfortable that it felt like I was wearing a top way less classy than it looks. It's a great neutral, chunky sweater, and paired great with both jeans and work pants. The buttons on the shoulder give it just enough formality to work in professional settings as well as casual. I only dropped it down to 4 stars because it was WARM. That was great when I was outside in the cold, but I once I got inside the office, it was really easy to overheat. I was worried that the material might be itchy, but it was super soft! If we weren't transitioning into warmer weather I definitely would have considered buying this one.

Perfect, Versatile, and Fun!
This jacket is everything. I rented it as a transitional jacket when it was too warm for winter coats but still too cold for spring jackets, and it was absolutely perfect. Not too warm, but definitely warm enough to keep me comfortable in 30-50 degree weather. It's more of a baggy bomber style than a fitted bomber, and I honestly love it that. The texture is incredible and I get so many compliments - I wore it almost everyday and loved it so much I ended up buying it!

Warm, cute, a bit itchy
This was a really fun, warm sweater that I got several compliments on. I love the sleeves, and the cropped length actually made it surprisingly more flattering than I anticipated. It was a bit itchy, though - nothing too horrible, but I did wear a t-shirt under it to deal with it all day.

Huge side holes, overall not flattering
I didn't end up wearing this - the sleeves were great, but the sides were complete gaping holes - there is no way to wear this without something underneath. Overall the shape just wasn't flattering, either.

Warm, Cozy, and a Great Statement Piece!
I loved, loved, loved this bomber. Super warm and a great way to dress up any outfit. I will say that I wasn't a huge fan of the snap closure as opposed to a zipper or buttons - it was a little complicated and didn't look as good closed up. But if you plan on leaving it open, it's very roomy and comfy!

Very comfortable, but kind of funky up top
I'm not usually one for jumpsuits, but I thought I would try something new and actually really loved this! Even without spanx, this was really smoothing and flattering for my curves. That being said, the top fit really weird - with the way the shoulders are supposed to lay, the front slit came WAY down to the point where I couldn't wear a bra (I had planned to pair it with a strapless). There just wan't enough support in the actual jumpsuit though to go without (I'm a 34DD), so I actually ended up layering a cropped sweater on top, which meant I wore this more like a pair of high-waisted pants than a full jumpsuit. It might work better for someone with a smaller bust.

Thick, heavy, but great color
I didn't end up wearing this because it was SO thick and heavy, which led to no stretch at all. It was also very itchy, so there is no way I would have been able to wear it without pairing it with a shirt underneath, which would have made it even more warm. Because there was no stretch it fit really tight, too - just not very comfortable overall.

Comfy, but very boxy
This shirt felt like I was wearing a pajama shirt it was so comfy - however, it was way more boxy than I intended. I thought with the angled cut it would be more flattering, but the medium just hung very unshapely on me. I wore it once and did a partial tuck to give it some more definition, but it was overall just a meh top for me.

Sparkly, form-fitting, and very comfortable!
There were pros and cons of this dress - it looks fabulous, but the sequins do make it incredibly heavy. It's still quite comfortable, and the sequins aren't scratchy at all. There is a lot of stretch in the material, but it also hugs all of your curves, even the unflattering ones and even with spanx. There was a small rip in the outer layer right below the side zipper, but I wore this with an outer cape so it wasn't a problem for me.

Very cropped crop top
I really wanted to love this because the sleeves were really fun and flattering, but the cut of the sweater was just way too short - on my average torso, the bottom of the sweater hit at least 2 inches above high-waisted jeans. If you like short crop tops then this would work great, it just wasn't quite my style.

Lots of fun, but a bit funky on the fit
This jacket was very warm and incredibly soft. It adds a definite pop to any fall/winter outfit, and the fur was surprisingly tame. The fit was a little weird, though - it ran large in the shoulders and arm area, but it was incredibly short, and zipping it up made it ride up even higher. I have a pretty average torso length and the bottom hit right at my natural waist below my last rib. If you like that cropped style then you'll love this, but it definitely meant that my lower back was cold when wearing this!

Really weird cut, but very soft!
The cut of this shirt was just wonky - the arm holes are huge, leading to a lot of side boob, but it's also very tight across the top of the chest, which made it bunch really weirdly. I'm a 34DD so it might work better on less busty types, but I imagine that would also make the side boob worse (though you could pair it with a cardigan or jacket to remedy that). The fabric was very soft, though, and it seems like it would have been very comfortable if it had fit right!

Nicely made, but very tight
I sized down because my normal size was not available and I can sometimes work with variable sizes, but that's not the case with this one. While the dress was well made and the cut was unique, the fabric has no give at all, so you definitely need to pay attention to the proper fit. Hopefully a larger size would have worked better!

Perfect Pop of Color and Warmth!
This jacket is fantastic! It's quite roomy, but I think that's just the style as opposed to it actually running large. The texture is great, though there were a few loose/caught strings from wear (especially around the pocket lining). It's very warm - I wore it outside in 45 degree weather for over 3 hours and wasn't cold at all - so I wouldn't recommend it for summer or warmer months. It's a great way to liven up some outfits, and I like to pair it with all black ensembles. Definitely keeping this one in my closet for a while!
