Orange is the new black?
I looked like an extra from orange is the new black in this tan jump suit. It's about as flattering. Not at all what I was going for.

Millie Jumpsuit

Versatile sweater
Wore this for a brunch and to work. Can be dressed up or down and definitely makes a statement. It recommended I size up which was not good advise. Go with your normal size and it should fit great!

Uniform?
This shirt made me look like I was wearing some sort of uniform. Maybe a flight attendant? Not my favorite but overall a good enough shirt to wear once.

I was pleasantly surprised this dress was still flattering even though it is oversized with a drop waist!

Buttoned Plaid Blazer
Derek Lam 10 Crosby
Size Worn: 12
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 5"
Well made but not my favorite
The detail and the way the sleeves were constructed you could tell this shirt was well made. The wrap style is a little low cut. Not my favorite silhouette.

Mint Stripe Wrap Top
Peter Pilotto
Size Worn: 14
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 5"
High quality
I'm a M/L and the M was a little tight. The heavy fabric helped hide flaws usually seen through a tight sweater dress but I think I would have liked a size up more.

Green Mock Neck Knit Dress
Diane von Furstenberg
Size Worn: MR
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 5"
Too casual/not flattering
The material made this blazer too casual for work and I ended up wearing on casual Friday. It was also bulky and did not do me any favors.

Double Pocket Blazer
KINLY
Size Worn: L
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 5"
Contrast stitching sets this apart
Love the contrast stitching. I didn't think I would like this cut but I tried in on in the store and it was surprisingly flattering. Could be worn most seasons.

Shields Top
rag & bone
Size Worn: L
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 5"
Ok
The fabric made this feel a little like a fancy pajama shirt. The high neck was a little strange. Fine for one day at work but not my favorite.

Causette Shirt
Equipment
Size Worn: M
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 5"
Ok fabric
The fabric was a bit stiffer than some of the other dress shirts I've rented. Was also a bit low cut. Not my favorite black dress shirt available on the site but was fine for a day at work.

Sara Lace Up Blouse
DEREK LAM
Size Worn: 46
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 5"
Winter/fall
I wore this late winter after we had a few nice days and felt a bit too wintery. Would be a nice shirt in the fall or winter. Not too dressy so I have to dress it up with jewelry for my work environment.

Plaid Anabell Top
Waverly Grey
Size Worn: XL
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 5"
Ok for a skirt
I'm not a big skirt wearer but trying to work them into my wardrobe. I paired it with a tucked in white dress shirt but found it a bit difficult to style. The slit comes up pretty high if you're not careful.

Elliot Check Wrap Skirt
Tibi
Size Worn: 10R
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 5"
Lots of compliments
The pattern is great for spring. Classic well-made dress shirt was great for work!

Erica Button Down Shirt
Tory Burch
Size Worn: 10
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 5"
Stars are fun!
The cut was a bit tapered and gave more of a shape than a lot of shirts in this style. Loved the stars and sleeves. It was a bit low cut but the tie covered or a black shirt could be worn underneath.

Pink Floral Jacket
Tara Jarmon
Size Worn: 44
Usual Size: 12

Dramatic
I got a lot of compliments but the drape is a bit much. I felt a little overdressed for my work environment but overall fit well, was high quality and was unique.

Check Scarf Lapel Jacket

Black City Top
See by Chloé
Size Worn: 42
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 5"
A lot of compliments
I got so many compliments on this shirt. It was a bit short. The details on the wrist and unique cut and fabric made it special.

Isa Toile Cropped Edwardian Top
Tibi
Size Worn: 12
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 5"
Low cut
I was uncomfortable all day with how low cut this was. I have an average chest for my size and felt extra busty in this shirt!

Plaid Paolo Blazer

Size Worn: 46
Usual Size: 12

Nice shirt!
I probably wouldn't have picked this top online because it doesn't look that special but I picked it up in store and it just fit so well and was nice fabric! Great shirt for a business/business casual work environment

Spice Evie Top
Flynn Skye
Size Worn: L
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 5"
Different
I liked renting these because they are so different I'm not sure I would buy them but they were super fun while I had them! They are a little tight in the waist but should be or I think they would look frumpy otherwise. I enjoyed them and got some compliments!

Vintage Buckle Jeans
Colovos
Size Worn: 10
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 5"
A bit formal but awesome!
This jacket was so flattering and fun! It's a bit on the dressier side for my business casual work environment but I liked it so much I didn't care! Would be great for an interview because it's not your classic boring black jacket and it would definitely be remembered!

Spencer Tie Front Tuxedo Jacket
Osman
Size Worn: 14
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 5"
Great for work
I rented this for work and it hit the mark. The angles added a little extra style to a classic blazer look.

Grey Plaid Blazer
Slate & Willow
Size Worn: 10
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 5"
Lots of compliments
I received a lot of compliments on this shirt. The pattern and color is nice. Fit is different but pretty flattering. I liked the blue stitching a lot but it is very subtle and not sure if anyone else noticed it.

Shields Cheetah Top
rag & bone
Size Worn: L
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 5"
Nice fit and quality
This is pretty low cut and I needed to wear a cami under for it to be work appropriate. Otherwise the quality and style was nice. It fit well. Pretty basic black shirt but paired nicely with bright colored pants.

Bees Knees Top
Trina Turk
Size Worn: M
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 5"
Itchy
I didn't love the fit as it make me look a little top heavy and boxy but probably would have worn at least once except I had a short sleeve shirt underneath and it was very itchy on my arms. Ended up not wearing this top.

Ilda Jacket
ba&sh
Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 5"
Strange fit
I liked the print and idea of the shape but overall this shirt didn't do anything for me. The cuffs were loose so I didn't get the effect of the sleeves pictured. It was also baggy at the waist so the waist didn't give the same effect. I ended up tucking it in and having a pretty generic (but nice print) shirt.

Plum Animal Print Blouse
Derek Lam 10 Crosby x RTR
Size Worn: 46
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 5"
Wear with anything
I wore for a very casual Saturday but could see how this could be dressed up nicely too! Loved the shape in the neck and arms and the detail at the waist.
