Showy but classy
These really hug your body, so they make people say "wow, nice pants" when they mean "wow, nice legs."
Robertson Flare Trousers With Sailor Buttons
Derek Lam 10 Crosby
Size Worn: 6R
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 8"
Weight: 140lbs
Bust: 32C
Tight in the armholes
A nice clean look, but the armholes are small and it was tight around my shoulders (to be fair, I am usually a size 4 for both pants and tops and my shoulders are kind of big, so sometimes a 6 top fits better)

Has hips no matter what
This is a pretty color and nice neckline, but I didn't end up wearing it because it has a cut that makes you have hips even if you don't--the fabric doesn't conform to your body. I don't have hips so it flared out unnecessarily, but it will probably fit nicely if you do have hips.

Collared Tweed Blazer
Derek Lam 10 Crosby x RTR
Size Worn: 4
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 8"
Weight: 138lbs
Bust: 32C
Strong shirt
Love the pattern and detail. It is short so it would be best to wear with high-waisted pants, which I did not have. It doesn't seem to go with any color pants except white though. Jeans didn't look quite right.
Woven Polo With Button Detail
NAADAM
Size Worn: S
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 8"
Weight: 138lbs
Bust: 32C
Solid staple top
Goes well with any high-waisted pants. Material is soft and comfortable. Might need a safety pin for the v-cut because it is deep
Refined Knit Wrap Top
Club Monaco
Size Worn: S
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 8"
Weight: 138lbs
Bust: 32C
Bright and classy
Love this vest. The tweed is heavy and fancy as you would expect from tweed, but the color and the sleeveless look make it great for nice events where others might be dressed more casually.

Tweed Buttoned Long Split Jacket
Endless Rose
Size Worn: M
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 8"
Weight: 138lbs
Bust: 32C
Fashionable and flattering
The trick with wide leg pants is if the waist and butt are tapered to fit nicely, and these certainly are. Nice medium weight material. Lots of compliments. The shirt is also RTR by Club Monaco
Side Stripe Pants
Toccin
Size Worn: 6
Usual Size: 4

Great for a formal event
Loved this dress. Unfortunately, I didn't end up wearing it to an event because was a little too fancy for what I was going to, so I will rent it again sometime. I usually wear a 4 but had to size up to 6. The back wouldn't zip up otherwise. I have small boobs but wide lats so if you have a bigger chest/back area in any way you should size up.

1999 Maxi Dress
Lioness
Size Worn: M
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 8"
Weight: 138lbs
Bust: 32C
Versatile dress for business occasions
Loved the pattern. The material is thin so it is good for warm outdoor events or indoor ones. I don't have any hips so it fit me well but I can see why those who noted it doesn't work well if you do have hips said so--the material does not have any give. Like you can't take really long steps in this dress.
Fayella Long Sleeve Dress

Cool pattern, great material
Lots of compliments on the pattern. Super classy.

Comfy and casual
I loved this shirt. I wore it for everyday outings but also on Zoom calls for work--I love different patterned shirts for those because they give a different look. Perfect for summer.

Short Sleeve Shirt
Scotch & Soda

Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 8"

Fun, funky pattern for something a little different
These are long and skinny, with a fairly tight elastic waistband. I pulled them up a little higher than most of my pants but it went well with this short white shirt (also RTR, Victoria Beckham). Perfect for a summer evening festival.
