Lovely but Heavy
These were a great, non-offensive, gold accent for a formal outfit. They didn’t make my heart sing, but they got the job done. I did have to take them off as soon as we started dancing, since they were pretty heavy.

Sexy Little Bag That Can’t Hold A Ton
I rented this for a wedding weekend and it served its purpose great - it’s very chic, relatively versatile so that I could carry it with multiple outfits, and nice quality. The only downside is that it barely fit my phone, but that’s sort of the curse of any clutch.

Waaaay Too Big
I'm not sure why I didn't double check the size on this, but for some reason RTR sent me the 34R rather than the 32 or 30... needless to say, it swallowed me and my 5'2" frame. The material was very soft, but that in combination with the lack of structure and large size made it feel more like a bear costume than an overcoat. My husband tried it on and it looked great on him! Too bad he wasn't bold enough to wear it out.

Too Big and a Bulky
I was hoping the oversized thing would just read as effortless and cool, but no, I looked like a baby bear wearing Papa Bear's letterman jacket. The sleeves on the XS were just too long and the whole thing just too boxy. Bummer. Probably would look great on a taller person with a little more statue, but it did not work on a petite

Perfect poppy skirt
Loved this skirt - it definitely looked better after a steam (wrinkles detract from the silky elegance for sure) but once it was pressed, I could have worn it everywhere. Maybe a tad long and therefore more formal on a shortie like me, but I still felt stylish and great. I dressed it up with heels and a crop top for a date night and dressed it down with sneakers and a button down later in the trip.

Perfect trip bag!!
Carried this little guy everyday of a 2 week trip. It bagged neatly and flatly in my suitcase (something my other basket bag couldn't do) and worked from day to night easily. It fit all my daily essentially nicely, and didn't make my shoulder hurt after long hours of carrying. Love her - get her!

Cute & Fun
I loved this skirt so much that I found 3 occasions to wear it throughout the weekend. Dressed down with a tshirt is reads cool and breezy, but with a crop top and heels it's a sexy pop of color for a night out! And throw on a sweater the morning after - boom, brunch ready. The material was smooth with no snags or pilling, and it wasn't too tight in the waist or in the hips. Got the small as well , but it was way too big, so I went with the XS.

Sexy, Fun, Confident!
^ how this dress will make you feel! Only bummer was noticing in photos that my stickyboobs were slightly visible. Otherwise, this dress was 100%. The material was thin without being sheer - perfect for a summer night - easy to dance in, and made me feel like a mysterious sexy zebra. If you are petite, be warned that the dress will be a tad long and therefore read a bit more formal - I don't think I could have pulled this off with flats of any kind.

Good Material, Poor Fit
The dress was lovely and would have been perfect for my sister's rehearsal dinner, but I was disappointed to try it on and find that it was hardly fitted in the waist or chest at all. I realized that there was a good chance of this since I have found in the past that Kate Spade's dresses rarely are contoured for petites, so luckily I had a backup dress, but it was still a bummer. Stunning material and color though. Very versatile and could easily work for day or night.

Swing Dancing Dream
I wore this little number for a formal in Charleston and could not have been more pleased. The dress was comfortable and sturdy - the material was almost like a thick raincoat - but it photographed really well and the material was perfect for dancing because the skirt wouldn't fly up. The fit was so perfect, however, had I had a larger chest, this dress might have been too snug in the 0, so heads up. I received so many complements and felt great the whole night through; I really didn't want to send the dress back! Its the perfect LND (little navy dress) and a great choice for any classy gal .

Classy, Subtile, and Sexy
I loved the way that this LBD clung in all the right spots - it wasn't too revealing, but it did a great job showing off my figure. The lace was the perfect little detail to add some mystic to a basic structure. The form of the dress made it awesome for dancing because of the cute little cap sleeves, and the material was structured enough to let me eat what I wanted without feeling like I was bulging. I received so many compliments, and I can't wait to rent from RTR again!

I loved twirling around the dance floor at semi-formal in this gem of a dress!
The fit was perfect: the swingy skirt hit right at my waist and the top was just snug enough. The color was gorgeous, very versatile (could be paired with lots of other colors for a host of seasons), and I got so many compliments. The only thing I was a little disappointed in was that early in the evening I noticed that in picture, something about the texture or the rivets made funny shadows under my arms that resembled terrible pit stains (yikes!). I know that sweat wasn't not the culprit, but it still slightly embarrassing. Regardless, the dress was beautiful and I had a blast wearing it. Can't wait to rent again!

A few nights before the homecoming game, the RTR package arrived at my doorstep. Still wearing my tennis uniform, I sliced open the box to unveil the most perfect necklace. I wore the jewelry with my t-shirt the rest of the night, giddy with anticipation of the night when I would really get to show it off.
I rented this necklace to wear for homecoming court, and it really made me feel like royalty! With a simple navy gown, a sleek beehive, and this gorgeous necklace, people I'd never met were coming and telling me that I was Audrey Hepburn reincarnated. The diamonds glittered wonderfully under the lights of the football field, and it was easy to promptly return the necklace after the lovely night. Can't wait to rent again!
