This is great for work.
I love this jacket for work. It's cuter than the average blazer, certainly unique, but I feel like it can also go with so much and be worn on a regular basis. I love it with pants, jeans, dresses -- and it's a great transition from work to real-life piece.

Loved this skirt.
I loved this skirt; it can be dressed up or down, and the buttons down the front are adorable. It does run pretty small, though; I'm not used to size 0 clothing fitting so well -- usually a size 0 skirt will be a tiny bit big in the waist for me, but this one was not.

This was huge.
This dress was huge. Granted, I'm petite, and some XS dresses can be too large for me, but this one was exceptionally large all around, in length, chest, arm-holes, everything. The color is beautiful though.

I loved this dress for everyday so much that I bought it.
I love this dress. Although it does hang loose and somewhat billowy, it has slits on the sides that make it less like a muumuu, in my opinion. The buttons down the front are adorable, and it's AMAZING for hot weather -- so breezy.

Was too fancy for everyday, but nicer than I'd wear to a dinner out. And too low-cut for work.
It fit well and created the illusion of curves on my not-curvy body. It was a bit wide through the chest, though.

I didn't wear it.
I didn't wear it. I just found the dress very frumpy. I'm the opposite of curvy, but the dress I felt gave me the illusion of having a very lumpy figure. I didn't find the sleeveless cut (it was almost like a cap sleeve, but not quite) flattering either, and I have pretty toned arms.

It was fine, not particularly flattering on my petite frame.
I ended up not wearing it - the colors were a little too neon, and it hung kind of shapelessly. Not bad, just never stood out to me that I wanted to wear it after it hung for a week in my closet, so I returned it.

Fun sweater coat
I really liked this, but I only got one wear out of it, since it's pretty unique and not something I'd want to wear multiple times in a week. I also struggled because it was really long. I actually considered buying it and having it cut off by a few inches, but ultimately decided against it. That said, it was super comfortable and I got a lot of compliments despite it being too long.

Fun, comfortable, flattering
I loved this dress. I rented it for a friend's baby shower, and it was the perfect dress for an event like that. It would also be great for everyday wear, brunches, etc. I'd consider buying it, honestly. It fit incredibly true to size, although on taller girls it might run a bit short. I have very long legs for my height, and I really wouldn't have wanted it to be any shorter.

Unique
I liked these. They were a fun twist on my everyday Rayban aviators.

Too big.
I didn't end up wearing this dress, as it was too large. It seemed to run especially long in the midsection, as if there was just too much fabric there that bunched when the waist was tied. It made me look somewhat frumpy -- which is an accomplishment considering my body has very little in the way of curves.

Wore it out one night.
I really liked this top. It's very flattering and thick enough that I didn't need to wear a bra underneath, which might have been tricky given the cut. The only issue was that the feathers get a bit staticky in the cold.
