Solid basic
This could be a workhorse item...goes with many things so easy to mix and match. It is a little bland though.

Cute but Runs Large
Love the fabric and cut of these pants but they both run large and stretch as you are wearing them. May try other things from this brand in a smaller size.

Warm and Stylish
So cute and so warm! May be the thickest sweater I've ever worn. It does run big, so maybe size down.

Solid Work Staple
Well made. Nice utility twist on a basic blazer. Wore it a bunch of times, but not a keeper.

Super cute BUT the super furry interior gets caught in the zipper--repeatedly.

Fun for Casual Work Day
Got several compliments on this. Definitely cute with jeans or cords. Fit was a little boxy for me. I would say size down, but then it might be too cropped for my taste.

Elegant
Understated elegance. Excellent construction and high quality fabric. Looked great with a black turtleneck or blazer. Great for business travel, because these pack without wrinkling. Thought about buying them, but didn't love them quite enough to pay that price.

Cozy and Fun
So warm and cozy! And loved the color. This is a great piece to rent, because I think I would eventually get tired of the look. But it was super fun to wear for a month of this winter. Got many compliments on it too.

A great basic. Not exciting, but a solid, understated piece. Goes with many things, so was great to pack for travel.

Odd Fit
The length of this sweater is odd. It's borderline cropped, but it has the belted waist, and it just didn't quite work for me.

Dressy and Warm
Rented this to wear over dresses for holiday parties and it hit the mark for that purpose. It's very dressy/formal and quite long.

Really cute sweater...lots of compliments when i wore it. It is very heavy/thick, so better for truly chilly days.

Versatile and Comfy
Got a lot of wear out of this one. I could dress it up with pants and a blouse for work and down with a t-shirt and jeans for weekends. This sweater is cozy without being too heavy or warm. Thought about keeping it, but it is so distinctive that it's hard to wear on repeat.

Matronly
Well made with a good fit. I was hoping it might be a good office-to-office party option, but it had a kind of stodgy, matronly vibe. Just didn't love it.

Looked great dressed down with a turtleneck sweater and dressed up with a silk blouse and blazer. Considered buying, but I feel that the polyester fiber and lack of lining are not worth the price tag.

Elegant!
Very feminine and pretty. Looked great paired with a black leather blazer to give it a little edge. Got lots of compliments! Packs well...no wrinkles. Have to pick the right bra to avoid it from peaking out the neckline.
