I loved the tunic style of this to pair with leggings!!!

Very Feminine!
I actually paired it with some Gucci sneakers and a jean jacket to dress it down for a more casual daytime vibe, but it certainly could be worn with heels. The top is a little sheer and I think it would have worked a bit better on someone with a longer torso, but I still really liked it

Great LBD
The ruffle hem was flirty! I’m short so that worked for me, but it might be too short on someone taller

I wore this to a wives’ luncheon on a business trip with my husband and it was great. The striped button down style made it business appropriate and the ruching was flattering and provided interest

Great dress!
I wore this dress for brunch with girlfriends, to a birthday party, and on vacation to Nantucket! It was just so comfortable and easy, while also looking put together

Love this dress!
It fit me like a glove! It is a short skirt, so I wouldn't recommend this for someone who is tall. It was so fresh with the white and green and it really stood out for an evening look.

It is cute!
I wore a tank camisole under the dress because it is very low in the front and I wore a jean jacket buttoned a single button as well. I'm very short so it is fine for me, but on someone taller, the dress would be too short.

It was ok
It would have been better on someone not as curvy. The material was thin. This was not my favorite rental, but it was better than the other dress I rented to try for this occasion

I wore the other dress I rented
I rented two dresses because there was only one size of the other dress I was renting (i.e. no back up size). There was nothing wrong with the dress. It just wasn't my favorite. I didn't love the other dress either, but since I rented two dresses, I was going to wear one!

Didn't end up wearing
They are great quality eye wear, but they would look much better on someone like Blake Lively with caramel highlights running through a very dark blonde/brunette colored hair. I was just too blonde for the gold plated front. There was not enough contrast

This cape is gorgeous and adds polish to an outfit. It was only available in M-L, so I knew it would be big on me, but since it wasn't a fitted item, I figured it wouldn't matter too much. It was big, but I wore it anyway!!!!

I was wearing this for a school function, so I wanted something modern, but conservative
I am petite, so this ran much longer on me than on the model in the picture. The arm holes were a bit too low for my taste so I ended up pairing it with a blazer.

I wanted something conservative, but stylish
I was drawn to the tassel detail on this dress. I'm petite so it ran a little bit long for me. (For the model in the picture this dress ends above the knee.)

A special fundraiser
The floral print and light weight material made this dress perfect to ring in spring! I initially tried the size up because it is my typical size, but it was too large so you may want to try two sizes to ensure the right fit

Obsessed!
This jacket was amazing. I really only turned it back in because I thought the weather was getting too cold. I wish I still had it! I can't remember exactly what size I had, but it was fitted and most things run pretty true to size for me

Wear it to work, wear it for a girls night, or an event-it is a stunner!
The peplum on this top hit at exactly the right spot. The gold buttons are so chic and the material was an an amazing quality. The sleeves also had a white stitching, which just added to how cool this top is! I will say that this piece didn't arrive in as pristine condition as many of the pieces I've rented, but it was so cool that I couldn't possibly send it back. I just wore it! (I think the person before me might have been a bit too big for the shirt and wore it anyway, so even w/ dry cleaning it seemed to have a permanent wrinkle in the mid section, but I don't blame them...like I said, I still kept it

I wanted an edgy top for a night out
The V-neck is pretty low on this, so I did wear a black camisole underneath to just fill in the neckline I paired it with a black on black pinstripe blazer and leather front leggings and black pumps.

I've worn it with a black sleeveless blouse with has a high neck w/ embellishment to fill in the open neckline of the cape. I've also worn it with a dark blue long sleeve blouse and you just fill in the jacket opening with a necklace

I wore this for a friend's birthday party
I wore this in June, but I feel like you could still wear this outside of the summer. A jacket is a great way to make a simple outfit appear more polished. I paired it with a very basic draped black shell underneath. The zipper front and pockets make this a jacket a "cooler" choice than just a blazer

Very fall jewel tone and in-style body-con look
This is a very fitted dress so you need to feel confident and smooth out all the bumps... It is a really nice fall hue. You can really make it trendy or dress it up with your accessory selections. I paired it with some lace up suede booties and two tiered edgy necklace.

I saw this when it was featured and had to have it
I don't think I paid attention to the dimensions of the bag if they were listed and I think I assumed it was a large bucket bag. It was actually a small to mid size bag. I used it a ton! It was a great bag to create interest and really make an outfit. I wore it with the white Trina Turk jumpsuit and it was very cool. It looked great with so many things because it is a natural/neutral color and black...I contemplated just buying it because I rented it so long!

I was looking for a dress for a fundraiser
There was so much material at the bottom of this dress and it was heavy. The waistband and skirt were not flattering on me. Perhaps this would look better on someone much taller and a different body type. I was overwhelmed by its size and weight I think

I wanted something fun for a girlfriend's birthday
This shirt zippers in the back and does not go the full length of the top. It is meant to be open, which I did not realize. The top hit at my true waist and I have a short torso, so I'm not sure if this is meant to be a crop top. I'm petite so this fit and flare as a top on my short torso was not flattering

This is definitely a casual romper with a loose fit. It has a full cut for the bottom/shorts.
I wore this romper for a casual summer cookout. It is a good choice if you are seeking a quick and easy outfit. The fact that it has a loose fit makes it appropriate to wear during the day. The material and lace detail dress this up to make it a more polished outfit choice. I would recommend this for people going on a beach get away.

I wore this dress for a charity event and added a hot pink necklace and pashmina for a pop of color
This dress gives the lbd a twist. The bottom is so modern and the a-line skirt is flattering for most body types. I have a large chest, but a short torso so if I owned this dress I would have taken it to a tailor to shorten the strap. I made it work and received many compliments when I was standing up because the bottom is what makes it a show-stopper

I wore this for Mother's Day.
The straps were a tiny bit long and/or the top was for a slightly wider torso. I have a large chest, so I do typically need to wear a 6, but this just seemed a tiny bit bigger than usual. The gold flecks are fun and the mint color was perfect for spring. The A-line cut is super flattering.

I wore this for a school fundraiser/gala.
This dress was great. The lace makes it fancy. The length makes it flirty. The tulle petticoat makes it trendy and gives a great balance for me because I have a large chest. The neckline and sleeves were perfect for a winter or super early spring event. I would absolutely wear this again

I was going on a business trip w/ my husband so I wanted a versatile look that could be worn day/nt
It is very full in the legs so if you are a tall pear shape or athletic build it may fit better. I am petite but have a large chest, so I need a 6 on top. The straps were a little long on top, but ok. The length of the jumpsuit was a little long, but I just cuffed the hem under to keep it clean.
