Special Dress
I was thrilled the dress fit perfectly. Generally, in dresses I need to size up for my broad shoulders so the 12 could of fit a little tighter through the body, but this way I was free to move around and it looked good. Loved the length - which was down to my ankles. I was a little surprised by the texture. I thought it was going to be sequins but it was a jacquard. Some jacquard materials can be too heavy. This was fairly light - so it didn't get too hot. This is a true statement piece.

Another Winner from AFRM
Just a playful fun Top. Love the ruching. A pretty color that is actually quite complementary. Top Top is a little short, but not really a problem with high-rise jeans. This is a tight fitting top, even in a large. I'm usually between a medium and a large, but I like to wear a large in these mesh tops. The top is double layer so it's not really see-through like some of the other mesh tops. This top is pure fun. I might have to keep it. I know it has a matching skirt, but I think that might be a lot of polkadots.

Not what I Expected
It pays to read the reviews carefully and pay closer attention to them I think. If I had, I would've understood this jacket better before ordering it. But the pictures of the model look so different than the actual jacket is. It's a thick heavy denim jacket with padded lining. I am in between a medium and large and ordered a large. A medium would've suited me much better, but it might've been just too short to even wear. As it was, this jacket was very cropped - especially since I'm 5'10 which is one of the reasons I usually choose a large jacket in a crop style. Most women may not have this issue. I wore this to an outdoor deck party in the middle of December in Washington. It was very cold and the jacket was perfect. It's definitely an interesting piece that nobody else is going to be wearing. So in the end, it was a fun rental.

Interesting or Frumpy?
I am always looking for statement pieces or something that is at least a little unusual or interesting. I thought this coat might be that with its pretty colors, interesting shoulders and 3/4 sleeves. However, every time I put the coat on, I felt like I was oversized, not the jacket. It might've helped if I had sized down. I sit between a medium and a large for jackets so it's always a decision point. So, I would say maybe size down if you're trying to be fashionable. If you're trying to be warm, Love plaid, and don't mind being a little lost in your outerwear, this is the jacket for you!

Nice Glasses
These were just a fun rental. I don't think they really suited my face shape. I knew that going into it but just wanted to try them. Didn't really have much of an opportunity to wear them anyway as it wasn't very sunny. I personally have a pretty extensive collection of sunglasses, so probably won't do RTR sunglasses again unless something really speaks to me. If your face is better suited to these narrow oval and slightly rectangular sunglasses, and you like the color, which leans a little yellow, then they might be a good rental for you. Oh, and sun is also good for these!

Like a Piece of Art
I am Loving these mesh tops with interesting and colorful designs. This one is especially pretty. I've had it for two rounds - reserving it for the right occasion. I just Love having it in my collection - like a piece of art. These are colors that I don't typically wear - but I think they will go with most skin colors. I am especially liking these tops because I get too hot in sweaters. These keep me warm without getting too hot. This piece is very sheer. I've worn it with a skin tight cami that matches my skin color. I would Love to try blue. This is a winner.

Good Basic with a Little Extra
Super comfy cozy cardigan with just a touch of glam for the holidays and beyond. The color and style are very versatile so you can match it with so many different pieces. I am a jeans girl and it goes with every style and pretty much every color. It's daily wear for me and can be dressed up for heading out to dinner. It's a little glam - but not a necessarily a statement piece. So plan to accessorize to get there. Great basic with a subtle shake of sparkle.

Lovely Elegance
Perfect for a date night. This was different than what I usually wear - both in color and style - but that's really why I do RTR - to step outside my box. This top is feminine, refined and elegant it's a special piece because the back is as interesting as the front with its ruching. I like the sleeves - as they don't have the gathering and elastic that is so popular right now. This is more refined. The fabric feels rich and silky. You can wear it out, tucked in, or front tucked. It's a slimmer fit - so I wore it with barrel jeans for contrast. It's a good find!

Just not for Me
Fun dress but not for me. I have broad shoulders so I have to get a large for the top to fit. And then the bottom is generally kind of puffy in a dress like this since I wear a smaller size on the bottom. I feel like if the fabric had been a bit heavier, it would be less puffy. I tried putting my hands in the pockets to bring the dress down to a straighter look and that looks good. But I knew that I wouldn't be able to walk around with my hand in my pockets all the time. I got the dress to take to Maui on vacation. But I left it at home.

Can't Wait to Wear Next Summer
I got this to wear in Maui. But the first time I put it on I fell in love. I think the gathered fabric, the off the shoulders styling, and the shape of the sleeves make this top very unique. And the colors and flowers are very pretty. It's very feminine. I decided the first time I put it on that I wouldn't be able to part with it. I'll be taking it to Las Vegas and then Mexico this winter and looking forward to wearing it in the summer.

So much Fun!
Loved this top. I am Loving these popular mesh tops. This one was just plain fun - great for the holidays. I am after all, a martini Lover. I wore a brown cami under it as it's very transparent. Looks great that way. I am planning to wear this one again before I return it. I wear a large top because of my broad shoulders. This top is true to size. You could size up if you want a looser fit - but I think the intent is for it to be body hugging.

Super cozy cardigan. Roomy but not too loose. I wear a large because of my broad shoulders. Beautiful burgundy. And just a fun print with the two skates. I get hot I sweaters, so I like a V-neck. Plus this fabric was nice and cozy, but not too warm. Lots of fun in the sweater

What Exactly is Happening?
I Loved the idea of this top. It's on trend with its' smocking, feminine print and off the shoulders silhouette. However, I couldn't figure out how it was supposed to drape. Did it require larger breasts (not me) in order to sit correctly? I love the print and the concept, so I tried a couple of different times. I just couldn't get it to work.

So Feminine and Versatile!
Love this top. Wore it with white jeans, cargo pants and a white jean skirt. Very comfortable. And I felt very feminine with the ruffles and small flower print. A very much on trend top; off the shoulders, ruffles and smocking. I am wearing it on vacation. So many women in Hawaii are wearing smocking. I adore this top. I'll try but I'm not sure I'll be able to resist purchasing it.

This mesh animal print is very pretty and feminine. The colors are gorgeous and it has nice feminine edging on the sleeves and hem. It's very sheer and fitted. I sized up to an extra large from a large to be sure I would be comfortable and that worked fine. I wore a brown cami underneath. Very pretty top.

Determination is Key
I wasn't sure this top was going to work. It's very structured, fitted, and short. Also hard to put on by yourself. But ultimately, I would say it's worth it. It's a little unique and I Loved the lower back that still covered my strapless bra. It's lie cut in front. I am pretty flat chested - so no over revealing. That might be different for others. I am Tall - and it really is cropped. I Loving that high wastes are in so I can wear tops like this without showing skin. Although I wore this with jeans, this top could really be dressed up.

It's all about the Shoes
These jeans, of course, are all about the shoes as the slit at the bottom points to your favorite pair. My favorite pair is my denim cowgirl boots. So that's what I went with. His jeans are just the perfect weight, and they are very comfortable. I'm 510, and they fit perfectly and are fine in the length. After what I presume is many washings.It took me about a minute to decide to keep these.

Great Out to Dinner Piece
I love the one shoulder look, not because it's only very beautiful, but because I can stay cool when I wear long sleeves! This Top may be a keeper for me. It's an attention, grabber, so be ready. I'm in between a large and a medium generally, and the large fit me perfectly. I feel a print like this tones down a top that could be otherwise over the top sexy and makes it very versatile. Love wearing this. It may be a keeper.

Classic Ralph Lauren
Beautiful velvet vest. It's classic. I've never worn a long vest before so I wanted to check it out. It fit perfectly. It's a little too conservative for me, but I do intend to wear at Thanksgiving. And if you like this look, it's a five star look. I tried on scarves and different jewelry, but I felt that it worked best on its own, when it can speak for itself and isn't competing with anything. If you like the look of a longer vest I would go for it.

Obsessed
This sweater is a beautiful mixed texture animal print. I'm obsessed with animal prints, especially the leopard prints. I generally wear between a medium and a large and I got this in a medium because of the reviews that I read. I could've also worn a large. It's intended to be a bit large and boxy. Since I'm 5'10", it's definitely cropped. So I wear it with high-rise jeans.It's got a great V-neck. It's a warm sweater so that keeps it cool enough. It's not too loud, but it's a statement piece.

Great Level Up
This is a great sweater to wear for leveling up a little bit. Beautiful colors. I'm obsessed with animal prints or anything that is reminiscent of an animal print. The buttons on this are gorgeous. However, it's too tight to wear this completely buttoned up. And I am small chested. I think it's just made to be worn open - completely. The issue with that is that it has a very deep V-neck when worn open. I wore a Cami under it that just peaked out. And I found this to be acceptable. The sleeves are very long so it brings the color down onto your hands. The sleeve seam is open on your hand up to your wrist. It's an interesting look. Generally, I am between a medium and a large and this was a large and still very snug. That's the only reason I gave it a four really. I'm 5'10" so it's a pretty crop look. Nice level up sweater. A little glam.

Gorgeous Bomber
Absolutely Love this bomber. Gorgeous chocolate brown, and extremely comfy. Unique for a bomber. I'm between a medium and a large and I got a large so it's plenty roomy. If I were going to keep it, I would want to try the medium first. Has a zipper and snaps. Interesting with the elastic on the back. I'm not sure that's my favorite look for a level up design, but the jacket is so nice, the piece carries it off. I give this a big thumbs up.

Lionel the Vibe
I'm obsessed with animal prints. This is artistic print with animal vibes. Beautiful orange. I like the thumb holes. It makes it rather sporty and brings color down onto your hand. I wore this over a black Cami, which worked quite well. Otherwise, it's very sheer. I find these mesh prints run across the board when it comes to price, and I'm not sure I can always see the difference. This one may be a keeper.

Gorgeous Purse
This is a beautiful purse and a very pretty shade of green that can up-level a casual Outfit. That being said it was too small for me - which is really my problem not the bag's problem - so it didn't really affect my rating - but I couldn't really make a lot of use of it even though I wanted to carry it. It's merely that I have become so accustomed now to the larger bags, that I couldn't fit everything in it. A year ago when I was carrying around empty large bags when I shifted to them, this bag would have worked. I do worry about losing things in any bag that is not a full zip closure - just my stuff and run personality. I wanted to carry this bag vertically propped behind my shoulder so it was a mild concern. It has two very strong magnets that seem like a good seal though - but that would be my only concern - especially over time. But then, i don't own the piece long term!

Love at First Sight?
Well, I am forever in search of the best leopard/cheetah (not sure of the distinction) print. And when I saw these jeans, it was love at first sight. The print is gorgeous with some tones that are actually quite subtle. But I guess I learned love at first sight doesn't always last. The jeans were just too uncomfortable and stiff - even though the sizing seemed perfect. They were also a bit short - although I am accustomed to wearing pants as crops as I am 5'10" and fortunately, that's in style. I tried to wear these jeans for a while, hoping they would get more comfortable. But in the end, I knew that wasn't the case, as obviously, they had been worn before. I guess I would suggest sizing up a little and I wouldn't mind trying that. I think if they were a bit looser, they would be more comfortable. But actually, I guess I'm on to seeking out new pieces to satisfy my animal print obsession.

Practical Warm Sweater with Some Style
This sweater is a very pretty large soft knit. Nice blue too - the deeper shade is flattering. It's true to size - clearly intended to be worn as a looser boxy fit. I am between a medium and large and the large was consistent with the style. It's warm - but seems breathable so I found it to be a little more versatile than some other warm knits - which means I didn't get too hot indoors. The best feature is the zipper and collar which provide an on trend sporty look. I wore it front tucked - which may be slightly out of style but definitely works for something chunky like this. I wore a bold necklace. It's a versatile everyday wardrobe piece. It's not necessarily a statement piece - but it has a little flair.

People will Notice!
Loving this sweater. It's gorgeous. With its cable arms and off the shoulder design, it's a statement piece - but not loud. With its beautiful blue, it's still subtle enough to be worn any time. It's warm. It would likely be too hot for me if it didn't have the automatic off the shoulder cooling system. I am tall and the side slit is a bit high. So I either wear something high waisted or I'm wearing a racer back tank underneath it. If you don't mind your skin showing it's fine. This sweater is a possible keeper. It will be hard to part with it if I decide to send it back. I am usually between a medium and a large and the large fit perfectly with the looser shaping that I think is intentional.

This mesh top is just fun - especially, of course, if you are a martini lover. It's very versatile. I prefer to just wear it with jeans - but I pretty much Love everything with jeans. I am usually between a medium and a large. The large is perfect - not a lot of room to spare actually. Lots of compliments and comments - and I learned from others that a Martini should always be served with an odd number of olives. This is a simple lightweight piece - but still quite a statement.

A Little Glam Fun!
This sweater is just fun. How could it not be with those sleeves and the gold flecks? I couldn't take it too seriously - although it really is quite gorgeous. It has just the right amount of shine. It can be worn really any time - and also can be a great holiday piece. I haven't worn it out to eat yet, but I would suggest rolling the sleeves - which are long - as eating could definitely be challenging. Or maybe your Loved One will feed you like the royalty you are when you wear this! I Love wearing this piece with jeans and intend to wear it with a long leather skirt too. It has short zipper at the back neck. It is definitely warm. I'll be tempted to keep this one.

I'm in Love!
Omg! I love this jacket and I want to let people know!!! Some of the reviews made me think it might not be that special. But it is. If you wear it like you mean it - it's a statement piece. Not only does it look fabulous but it's cozy and warm - fully functional. The sizing I would say runs a bit smaller. The large was perfect and I would say I would usually wear a medium. I wouldn't plan on wearing anything too bulky under this. I'll be wearing this again and again and lusting after it. Generally, I try to return all of my items so that I can try to wear different styles and step outside my box. But I already know, I love this jacket and this one is going to be hard to say goodbye to.

How Could I Not be in Love?
I knew this vest was going to be the bomb before I got it. I adore it. I never thought I would be the person that wears denim with denim. It takes me a minute to adapt to current trends every once in a while, but I get this one now. I am not very busty shall we say. So I like to leave my vest unbuttoned on the top and wear a tank, tee or button up the front top under them. It's more flattering for me. But this would look cute buttoned all the way up too. Loved wearing it with a scarf tied like a loose tie. I received many compliments.
