So many compliments!

Too short for my cellulite!
I'm a pudgy 43 year old and shouldn't probably be wearing anything shorter than my ankles.... but this was "your butt is out if you bend forward" short. Didn't wear. The world should be grateful

Better than the pics could even show
This shirt was sleek and stylish AF. I'm a bit belly insecure, so I wore with a pair of high waisted pants to keep the tummy at bay. It's very form hugging, so keep that in mind, but this is a shirt that LOOKS luxe when it's on..

Stretches as you wear
I wore these shorts for over a month and loved them. Great length. Great look. They were the perfect size when I put them on, but by the time the day was over they were a bit baggy. I might have been able to size down but the first part of the day would not have been comfortable

Hook my hair once... shame on you
Hook my hair 1,000 times, shame on me... for not taking you off. These coveralls are adorable, but wow does the hook (grommet? button? the thing that the straps hooks onto!) get stuck on long hair repeatedly. Have never had this happen with other overalls, so I think there is something specific to this design....

Funky late 90's/ early 00's vibes
I am a harem-style pant wh%r3, and these baggy jeans with a fitted waste and cinched shins fit the bill. These jeans are 2021(2?)'s answer to parachute pants. Loved the style, loved the way I felt in them. Not sexy by any means, but funky and fun (which makes them a different kind of sexy.) The only caveat is that I am struggling to say if these do in fact run true to size or run small because the waistline was definitely tight on me. But for context, I wore these over the 2021 holiday break when I gained a solid 8 pounds. Pretty sure I am "running large" and these jeans are in fact "true to size".

Comfy and cayuuuuute.
I am having to stop myself from buying every piece of clothing I love, but this should have a permanent place in my closet. It's just a sweatshirt, yes. But also... what's better than a sweatshirt? It's bold and bright and comfy and funky and cute and baggy and the left arm gave me pride vibes and yes, honey, you should rent this.

WISH I could afford to keep this
This bulky sweater jacket is a total find! If you like things fitted... keep scrolling. If you like things baggy because you were part of the grunge phase in the mid-90s, HI! This is a jacket Alanis Morrissette would have worn. I loved this piece and how I felt in it!

It has a bit of a "Join my Dojo!" vibe, and I was INTO IT!
This piece is so unique. If you love a jumpsuit, don't miss this one. Flattering, funky, stylish. The fabric is luxurious. I wore it out with girlfriends who all complimented it. I would have honestly kept it but the price tag is out of my range. These are the moments that I love RTR... something that would have otherwise been out of my range was briefly on my body!

Adorable, but tight in the waist
Listen, I will own that this may be a "me" issue, but these were tiiiiiiight. They are obviously styled to were high, but I had to pull them near my ribs to get them to close. Size up if your waist is as unsnatched as mine.

I might be the wrong mom for these mom jeans.
I know these probably look amazing on women. I just happened to be one of the women these looked frumpy on. The mom jeans style of today is perhaps better for the midriff set and not us actual moms. Honestly, these are baggy (except for in the waist) so it’s best if you’re teeny so that adding volume to your shape doesn’t make you look voluminous. I have no data to back this up other than I am not teeny and these jeans did me no favors.

Not for the vertically blessed.
If you’re tall, and perhaps a solid lady such as myself, I don’t know how to make these look good. They looked like capris I was squeezed into… aka something no one wants to see. Big bless to all you skinny short women out there… these jeans have your name on them.

Bright, flirty, and I felt amazing.
Listen, I love the feel of no clothing… Enter this dress! Is it beautiful and does the vibrant color draw all eyes to you? Yes? Do you feel stylish, even though it’s a giant bag? Yes. Is wearing a bag supposed to look and feel this good? No. I don’t know how to explain it, but when this dress starts being more reasonably priced, it is my true north of what I need to own. Rent. This. Dress. (But don’t buy it because I really want to, thanks)

All of the reviews said to size down... and I only sort of agree.
In sizing down, the waist of these was definitely uncomfortably tight on me. The strange thing is that the tush and legs area of these shorts got really baggy while I was wearing them. So it's true that they run large, but the waistline doesn't run all that large. Ultimately these aren't sexy shorts (who wants a saggy tush), but they did their job of not being pants.

Not for the faint of chest...
I am all waist and hips (read: chubby from the pandemic), and though this dress was absolutely gorgeous/sexy, I couldn't wear it because it was too loose up top (read: my boobs did not gain weight with the rest of my body). If you are chesty, this dress will be your bestie.

These are so stylish and chic...
... and the waist of these did not allow room for me to lie to myself about what size I actually am. Tell yourself the truth, and size up.

These earrings are a total show stopper and conversation starter.
They are heavy and not the most mask-friendly, but fashion is pain and these are fashion.

This is so cute in theory but was unflattering on.
It might have been my own personal shape, but this was not flattering on me. The legs and waist were too wide.
