Perfection?
These may be perfect pants. I'm 5'5'' and about 135lbs and the 4R fit me EXACTLY. The drape is flattering and wide.

Put together!
Excellent elevated piece. Pairs well with pants, jeans, and skirts. Though cropped, it's work appropriate when paired with anything high-waisted. Note: though it is sleeveless, it is a warm top, but also great for a cold office in the summer. The arm holes a slightly small so if you have big "guns" you may want to size up. Otherwise TTF.

Great, versatile bag
Great size: can fit iPhone 17, compact, lipstick and credit/room cards. Three options for how to wear: clutch, (no strap) shoulder (short strap) or crossbody (long strap). The straps are beautiful and easy to take off/on. However as the straps are metal, they get attracted to the bag closure which is a magnet. Not a big deal.

Pretty and preppy
The color is beautiful, and it offers a lot of options for layering. Love the neck detail. Only issue - I wish it was a little fuller around the hips so that the slits did not show so much - just a personal preference.

Great piece - tight in chest
I adore this dress. I wore it in a smaller size when I was slimmer and knew to size up for my current chest size.

A fun statement sweater, but a bit short for work unless you have very high-wasted pants. The structure and coloring are incredibly flattering.

Bought it
I was stopped on the street, in the grocery store, and in the subway by women complimenting me on this coat. The XS may have been a better "true" fit, but the oversized look of the S is part of the charm. It's WARM. It looks great with everything. It's not as white as the photo, but it's a very very light cream. It looks great open or tied. I may be a fool for buying a white coat, but I'm a stylish food.

Comfy and cute
This dress is adorable and was perfect for Thanksgiving. Plenty of room to breathe. The buttons on the chest let you play with different kinds of looks. The smocking is nostalgic, but I didn't read it as "young." The shoulders and arms are cut beautifully.

Funky jacket works for office
I liked this blazer, but because the lapels are not structured, it looks more like a jacket to wear outside than indoors. I still wore it at the office and got many compliments. Fun way to play with color and it looks great with jeans. Note, a button fell off while I had it, but NBD,

These are WARM pants. They look great, but you will be toasty. Also, the belt does not detach.

Great quality, blows open
Everything about this dress is great except that the wrap of the skirt blows open easily (the wrap doesn't go far enough around) making this dress much too risqué for work. I pinned it, but was self-conscious all day.

Double-sided tape a MUST
The color is beautiful, but if you don't have perky gals, there is no support. The tie in the back does not adjust the support of the chest. Doublesided tape is necessary if your breasts don't fill out the whole cup.

A perfect white jean skirt
This skirt is a perfect wardrobe staple for the summer. Wear it from the beach to dinner to the club. Long enough to feel covered, but still short enough for the sultry look. Will likely buy.

For people with perky boobs
This may have worked better for me had I gotten a smaller size. However, think of this crop as strapless - the tie around the neck is not for support. The shirt was droopy and my gals could not help but sag. Get it if you don't need any support for your chest.

Flattering and comfy
A fun take on the white shirt. The shoulders make a statement. The shirt is not at all see-through, which I feared (a skin-toned bra is recommended) if you wear it to work. Looked great tucked in.

It's a great oversized blazer. Goes with jeans, dresses etc. The wool can be a skin irritant at the neck, but I got used to it. Warm!

They are warm, fit perfectly, and have a chic and edgy vibe. I got compliments on these pants everywhere I wore them, which was everywhere: work, dinners, the theatre, and shopping. Can't go wrong with these.
