Beautiful
This skirt is so fun to wear (I posted a photo that sort of shows how the skirt moves). The colors aren't as extreme in real life, and the design is so eye-catching. And no static!

Unique but still obviously work appropriate.

Very well made
This sweater really grew on me. I wore it with jeans and it looked okay, but it was just so warm and cozy, I wore it to work later in the week. Cropped one boxy, but not overly so.

Cute but so much static!
This dress is very flattering, and I got compliments on it. It has an interesting construction and is very well made. But the static! Maybe it would be a better choice in warmer weather?

HUGE
So, so, so big. I couldn't wear it out of the house. I couldn't look in the mirror without laughing.

Large and boxy
First of all, this coat is stunning. It is so beautiful. When I first saw it, I wanted to buy it! But then I tried it on. It is a very oversized fit, and it just didn't work on me. I looked really frumpy, so much so that the weird fit is what I noticed and not the lovely print.

Such a pretty dress!
I wore this to do dinner and informal evening event, and it is just so pretty. I have broad shoulders that often make any kind of ruffled/fluttery sleeves look odd, but I didn't have that problem with this dress. I considered buying it but just don't have the lifestyle to justify the purchase--it would be a bit too fancy for my office. I wore with tights with no problems other than static.

Unique and versatile
I was weirdly obsessed with this jacket/cardigan. I wore it on the weekend and to work, and I got compliments. I expected it to be navy--I'm not sure why--but it's black, which made it more versatile. As for fit, it's cut a bit wide, but if I had gone down in size, I worry that the sleeves would have been way too short.

Thought about keeping!
I got lots of compliments on this dress when I wore it to work. I see it as more of a wedding-guest dress, though, which is why I'm not going to buy it. Also, I wore it on a snowy day with a long-sleeve black shirt under it and rain boots, and people still loved it.

Dressy "sweatshirt"
The sleeves and the ruffle are both a nice satin-y material, so this shirt was totally appropriate for my office. I liked it a lot, and my husband said it's his favorite thing I have received from RTR.

Nice but not my favorite
Warm and just a little itchy (but that could be because it came new, with tags, so it has never been washed). Boxy because of how it is constructed.

Great weekend sweater
This sweater is more cottony than wooly, which i didn't totally expect. But it's not a heavy like some cottons can be. Overall, I liked it. It's super comfortable and looks great with jeans.

Prettier in real life!
Really cute sleeve detail and striking color. Got lots of compliments. Fits loose so I couldn't make it work tucked in.

Really cute blazer that I wore as a jacket
Extremely well made with some neat little details. Oversized without being too loose. I couldn't tell if it was supposed to be a blazer or a jacket, and I wore it as a jacket, but I think it could work for either (and maybe others don't make a distinction between the two like I do).

Cozy sweater
Warmer and softer than I expected. It's a really nice sweater to wear on a chilly fall day. The ivory stitches contrast with the gray sweater more in real life than on the screen, so it's very eye-catching. Just tuck the loose ends on the sleeves under the cuffs when you eat!

Harder to wear than I expected
First I had trouble figuring out what to wear with this jacket in terms of color and style, and then when I tried it with a sweater, I realized that the sleeves were cut too narrow while the body was cut quite large. I couldn't get it to work!

Not for me
I expected this skirt to be stiffer and more substantial--I'm not sure why. It was cut in a way that just didn't flatter me, and I looked pretty dowdy in it. But I'm sure it would work well for others; it is a nice skirt.

Beautiful dress
I wish I had a winter wedding to wear this dress to (I wore it to work). Very long, slightly itchy material, and just barely accommodates a conventional bra. But flattering and pretty. I usually wear a 6 or an 8, but the 10 was nicely loose and flowy.
