Fun & Easy Fit
Material isn't too heavy it's nice for milder weather. Relaxed fit so easily paired with jeans of any color.

Embroidered Oversized Crewneck Sweater
The Great.
Size Worn: 1
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 3"
Weight: 148lbs
Bust: 32DD
Fun but shapeless
The graphic has the look of a weathered oil painting. It is such a fun and unusual element that it makes up for the shapelessness of the sweater itself. The sweater is soft and very warm.

Easy casual look
Great color, lightweight. The medium was a little bigger than I expected so though I intended to wear it open more as a jacket, I found it looked better buttoned. The fit is boxy and cropped so needs to be paired wisely.

Fun and irreverent
This was comfy and somewhat warm despite being very sheer. It's fitted without being restrictive. The graphic is an unexpected little delight if/when people notice it.

Cozy but odd shape
I liked this cropped sweater though I wouldn't describe it as flattering. The sleeves are wide so not easily worn under most coats or jackets. It's bells out so the fit is quite loose and even on my 5'3 frame it was cropped. I still liked it. Wore it with baggy, low jeans to balance out the crop and volume of the sweater.

Casual glam
These are so fun and playful. They add a delightful turn to a casual outfit. The pant length is short so at 5'3" they hit right below my ankle. These work nicely with anything that might typically be worn with jeans.

Fun top for day or night
Was great for a night out. Well structured. If you're somewhat busty, it does show cleavage but can be tasteful.

Loved it!
Loved this jacket with or without the matching pants. The patchwork detail feels really polished even though the jacket is casual. Found it worked best as an open jacket - though if you like a boxy look it could work buttoned up.

Vibrant red, almost crop top
I loved this shirt, especially the vibrant red. Wore it as a shirt and as a light jacket. Easy to wear, easy to pack. It hit right below my waist so was great with high waisted pants or barrel jeans.

Great idea but slightly odd fit
I love the open back concept but didn't really like how it looked on. I think it might work better on a longer frame. I'm also a little busty and since it has no support, even when pulled taut, I had to use an adhesive bra. It was ok but not as interesting on as I'd assumed.

Liked it!
The color is a semi-muted rust. Skirt and sleeve length is great. Not incredibly memorable on but flattering. You are signing up to do some ironing but works for professional events or casual hangs.

Cute but hard to get rid of wrinkles
Fits nicely and a good length but because of the material, I was unsure if it could be ironed at a high enough heat to get rid of the wrinkles. Otherwise, I would have worn this more. Still cute for the occasions that fall between casual and dressy.

Lovely dress
Loved this dress. Great for a daytime event. If you're between sizes like me, I'd recommend sizing down to make it easier to keep the top up (though a bit of fashion tape can also do the trick).

Bright pop of color
The color is so vibrant that it adds a fun pop of color to anything. The bag works for day or evening. It fairly small so can only hold a handful of items. If it had a longer strap that could make it easy to wear over the shoulder, I would have used it more.

So warm, so vibrant
One of my favorite orders. It's warm enough to not require a jacket on cool days. Its colors are unusually vibrant for winter wear. In person, it's even more delightful to look at. I prefer a slightly snugger fit in this sweater because the material is bulky. I fall squarely between a small and medium and found the small more flattering but both actually worked.

Great sweater, stands out
This multi-gray toned camo sweater feels wonderful on. A perfect mid-weight to carry you into the fall or to layer in truly cold weather. Great to way to elevate an average pair of jeans.

Great skirt
Loved this skirt and found multiple excuses to wear it. It feels beautifully tailored. I plan to rent again when the weather is cold. Easy to pack and just as easy to dress up or down. It is long so shoes are a definite consideration.

Great dress for a night out
The dress feels great on though admittedly it isn't very forgiving. Given the back, I'd recommend using adhesive cups for a bra. It's perfect weight for a mild day - would be a little too warm on a hot one. The length worked but definitely reads as a midi on a 5'3" frame. I coupled it with a denim jacket and low heels to make it an edgier early evening look.

Solid Collegiate Look
Worked well for Cape Cod evenings. Pairs easily with pants or a summer dress. Not a statement piece but doesn't detract from a nice outfit.

Fun and easy
I loved this dress and had to convince myself to part with it. As I often find with Farm Rio dresses, it's fits beautifully on an hour glass figure and the hemline works even if you're on the shorter side. The darker color scheme lets it work for evening events (works great on a warm night). The puffed sleeves and deep v cut make it a stand out in the crowd.

Semi-interesting pop of color
This is a nice but largely unremarkable boxy, boy-cut shirt. It feels nice on but was a little less interesting as an addition to an outfit than I expected. I wore it open, almost as a light jacket with barrel jeans. Cute but not memorable.

Love this t-shirt
Such a simple idea but so beautifully executed. I wish I'd purchased it. Great fit. Easy to play with as either high or low style. Wore it with both an easy pair of baggy jeans for casual event and with a long leather skirt for a more formal get-together.

I love this shirt and have ordered it multiple times. It’s boxy and cropped so it’s great coupled with cropped tank and oversized jeans if you want an elevated slouchy look.

Kinda dowdy
The fit worked but the silhouette read as more conservative than I expected. It looked a bit like a figure skater outfit when I put it on. The materials also didn't look or feel particularly impressive. I really loved the color despite being lukewarm about the dress.

Fun for mild days
If you fall between sizes, I recommend going for the smaller size (I wear a 6-8 typically and found the small more flattering than the medium). Not super interesting from the front but the back makes up for it. The material is on the heavier side so it’s great for mild-to-cooler temps.

Gapping at buttons
The jumpsuit is cute but the construction is problematic. The bubut ttons at the waist gap due to the elastic. I used fashion tape to keep it sealed but the solution was imperfect as it was ruined anytime I opened the jumpsuit.

Beautiful and great for travel
This lovely dress is so easy to wear. Great for travel - no need to iron, works for any temperature, and goes from day to evening easily. I loved the vibrancy of the colors. I'm on the shorter side so the sleeves are little long and I had to be careful not to step on the hem when taking stairs.

Cute but heavy
I really enjoyed this look - it's playful and really stands out. I took this on a trip and it takes up an enormous amount of luggage space. Definitely not ideal for packing. I'd definitely recommend renting 1-2 sizes smaller than you'd typically wear. It's runs large and the weight of the skirt does pull it down. Having hips is an advantage in this skirt.

Fun, oversized fit
I loved the exaggerated fit of this jacket. Even accounting for the big shoulders look it is going for, it does run on the large side. It's best worn when you're playing up that element of the look. The sleeves are also very long. It's a heavy denim so it works well in cool weather and can be coupled because of the design can work with a minimal top or a heavy sweater underneath.
