Unflattering proportions
Did not wear. It was large everywhere - I was swimming in fabric - except the waist. Bizarre and unflattering.

Loved it and considered buying
Friends and coworkers alike (especially the men, interestingly) loved this, as did I. Cute and comfortable. It got a little stretched out after a couple wears, and the zipper is almost more for decoration than regular use, but that's all good. Rent this to jazz up your weekend hangout wear!

A work shirt for when you want to expose yourself unexpectedly!
The style of this top is cute - as advertised. There are unfortunately 2 fatal flaws: the tiny snap button that holds the top closed at the bust (the same tiny snap at the back of a dress/top of zipper), and the complete lack of any other way to keep it closed. There is a strong chance you will expose yourself unexpectedly if you hold your arms out wide, raise your arm, or generally move about. If you wear a tank underneath the button will still be a problem. It needs a few safety pins.

A fun dress (may need slip) - lots of compliments!
The perfect dress for a party where you want to be noticed (and eat with abandon)! This was so fun to wear. I think it's actually a bit sheer so some may want to wear a slip. I wore it on a cooler night at an indoor/outdoor event so I just wore a shirt and leggings underneath (and colored mules - the shoe options would be plentiful)

Easy to look put together & gets warm by the end of the day
This sweater fits fabulously and looks chic but understated. Be aware it's all synthetic so by the end of the day, it got quite warm at the post-work dinner party. Thankfully I was hosting so I just threw on a T-shirt! I will wear this at least a few more times before returning.

Will try S next time
This was a fun and easy to wear skirt for work (w/black boots and a white bomber jacket). The M was a bit loose, so I would try the S next time for a more sleek/shapely fit.

Not for me
Not very flattering - the v neck was too gaping and the ribbon confusing

More interesting than the photos
The tie in front (which I admittedly tied and re-ties 3 times before leaving the house) and asymmetrical hen make this an interesting and flattering skirt. I think it runs a tad small. Pretty see through - no black underwear!
Beige Front Wrap Midi Skirt

Size Worn: 8R
Usual Size: 6

Chic but fun
Fits perfectly - like a baby tee but a forgiving material and memorable pattern. Wore with a beige skirt for an event but it would be fab with blue jeans.
Squiggle Short Sleeve Sweater
Opening Ceremony

Meh material. Elegant cut.
I liken the material to what army blankets are made of, but in a dark aqua/teal that looked nice with my lavender nails and navy slim pants. Not the greatest quality but fine for a conservative work meeting. It seems to attract lint. You have to tie the "belt" thing in a knot to keep it in place.

Too wide legged
I ordered up as the comments suggested, but these were billowy, and very wide on my legs. Not for me at all.

Very (too) sparkly!
Fit was fine, though the material felt a little hot and sweaty. I didn't wear it because the amount of sparkliness exceeded my usual.
Lurex Super Sleeve Top

Wonderful fit and pattern
Perfect for work meetings on a slightly chilly SoCal day (wore with opaque black tights but would be cute bare-legged!). Fabric is on the thicker side due to the high-quality lining which also makes this fairly flattering. Pattern is really easy on the eyes.

Fun and a versatile color
Fun - I got a M (5'4" and 125 lbs), and lived wearing it. Cons: lining is a cottony fabric (not satin) that makes it a little annoying to put on/take off. Because of the fluffiness, food smells kind of linger (ie after a meal in a restaurant). If I owned it, I'd be dry cleaning it a lot.

Great fit but got too linty
This was a feature flattering fit. A bit wide legged (not very slim, just pencil/straight). At 5'4" they looked more "office" than cute on me, despite a great fit. And the cotton attracts lots of lint so I returned after one wear.

Normally a 6; the 40 was too large
I'm 5'4" and 125 lbs and should have ordered the 38. Got the 40 as it was available and didn't wear it. Quality seems great but the pant leg is quite wide (regardless of size). Not a cigarette leg for sure! Not sure they'd be flattering for a shorter person like me. Probably won't order again

Fun printed leather but not practical at all
This purse was interesting - like carrying a little decoration when you wear it. But it held almost nothing; it is much narrower than I expected (see photo), and nevertheless I found it very hard to find the very few things I could actually fit inside, because the leather is so stiff and pockets so narrow. Wore a couple times on vacation but basically holds as much as pockets on my big jean jackets so didn't use it as much as I might have.

Good fit, wore twice
This fabric is very thin so wears comfortably but doesn't feel like luxury. Fit great - feels like a true 6 but elastic waist (zip entry) made it comfortable. Great to mix it up at work but nothing too special.
Simone Trousers

Cute color but not that special overall
Loved the color and size of this little purse - fits the perfect amount of stuff for a weekend day out but could also be good for nighttime (it's hands free). The extra pad on the shoulder strap was more annoying than anything - it kept falling off so I didn't use it.

Shapeless/Unflattering, maybe runs large
Didn't end up wearing this because it was way too boxy/shapeless on me so it felt like I was a kid laying dress up in Mom's clothes. Returning. Size down!

Comfortable cozy but cool
Great shape. Wear with high- or mid-waist jeans. Thicker cotton which can be warm but cozy and chic for hanging out

A little "mom" but great fit and quality for work
Decided not to wear it because it felt a little more "mature" than I was going for. But quality and fit were great. Show off your arms!

Put together and comfortable
These are perfect weekend-about-town shorts. Paired with a sleeveless black top tucked in but could do any number of ways. Size fits well and style is forgiving for a big eating day. True to size or a little large.
