Cute spring jacket
Loved the plaid collar so much! It’s lightweight and great for spring. Also perfect for San Francisco in February! It does run a bit big, though. It says the XL is a 10 but fit more like a 12-14. I’d order down if I ordered again.

Good jeans
Fit is mostly true to size. A bit snug in the thighs and initially tight in the waist, but they stretch just enough to make them a perfect fit. Great length if you're 5'4"!

The collar is interesting and the color is pretty, but this was kind of itchy. Only okay for me.

Furry collar!
Loved this jacket. Not for really cold temps but excellent for more moderate winter weather! The body is super soft and the fur collar makes it special.

Awkward fit
The top part was too loose and long, and the neck was too high. The skirt part was too tight with no stretch. Pretty colors, though!

Solid sweater
The fit is a little oversized but in a comfortable, not unflattering way. Great color and pretty stitching. Soft and not at all itchy, but it does pill/shed a bit.

Coziest sweater
Loved this sweater! It’s the perfect shade of taupe, lightweight but warm, and not at all itchy. Fits true to size, hitting at the hips on 5’4” me. The attached “mini sweater” that ties around the shoulders made it unique. Definitely recommend!

Short and wide but fun for a weekend outing to Versailles! I’m usually a 10 and the M was really too big, but I’m afraid the S might have been even shorter…

Very pretty with a subtle shimmer, but there’s no shape to this one. Also too long to be flattering on 5’4” me.

Super sparkly
Worn by my daughter who is usually a size 6/small, this sequined dress was a standout. Worn to see Cabaret on Broadway where we sat at a table near the stage, my daughter got compliments on the dress from other audience members AND the lead actress in the show by the stage door afterward because they noticed her during the show! 🤩

Cute enough floral dress, but nothing special. Wish it had been a bit more structured or lined. The ruffly parts got very wrinkled.

Unique and fun for work
Love the shape of this, though I’m messing up the pleats in this photo… it’s such a different silhouette, and the material is the perfect weight — it lays flat and swings just right. Fit is true to size but it is very low cut. If you actually want to wear it to the office you’ll need a layer underneath. Definite winner though!

Track pants as a skirt!
I was not expecting the swooshy track-pant material either, but I LOVED it! Super light weight. It does run a bit big, but the waist is elastic so better to order your smaller size or size down. Best part is that the front zipper runs the full length of the skirt and you can unzip from both sides, allowing for a custom length front slit.

Do not rent.
The fabric is pretty, but that’s the only thing this dress has going for it. The fit is horrible — huge and tent-like, especially in the back — but the worst part is the sleeves. They are narrow and attach inches away from where any human’s armpit would be, making it difficult to move your arms above elbow level without the whole dress shifting around. It also results in a loose and unflattering fit through the chest. Even a belt couldn’t save this one. Hated it.

Loved the asymmetry of this skirt. Runs maybe a smidge big… I ordered my bigger size and had a hard time cinching the belt tightly enough.

Favorite dress ever.
I loved this dress SO. MUCH. I’m usually an 8 and the 6 fit perfectly so it may run a touch big. It’s pretty short and low-cut in the front, but the long sleeves and mesh panel balance it out. My favorite compliment of the night was that I looked like a mermaid who had kicked off her tail! 😆

Just a cardi
It’s fine, but it’s just a cardigan. Cropped and a bit heavier than I was expecting. I was hoping to wear it buttoned up on its own but there was too way much gaping between the buttonholes.

Small but special
The fabric is high quality and the little buckles on the waistband make these unique. They definitely run a size (or two) small, though, at least on my straight shape. Loved the ankle length with boots. Worth a rent, just size up!

Cutest pants
I love the wide legs and cuffs on these peachy-pink pants! Fit is a bit big and they have some stretch, so I’d order down one (or even two) sizes. Worn for international women’s day, which coincided with Wednesday (and on Wednesdays we wear pink) this year.

Versatile and cozy
Kept this jacket for a couple of weeks and wore it so many times -- dressed down as apres ski wear, dressed up for work on Zoom... I love a plaid and also love olive green, so this was made for me. Warm and cozy but not overly heavy or bulky. Fit is TTS.

Love love these ski pants!
Warm and fit TTS and SO many compliments! I ordered up a size because that was what was available, and they were a bit too big after wearing for a little while. They do have stretch. Love that it matched the base layer top, and the zips at the bottom are key for maneuvering around ski boots. Worst part is that the ski gear is HARD to get if not doing a one-time rental...

As seen on Emily in Paris!
If I'd realized it was the same as the sweater worn by the main character in Emily in Paris, I might have styled it like she did! Loved this so much -- the bows, the length -- it's a great little sweater vest. Will likely rent again, and try to buy when it's eventually discounted!
