Cute, but long laces at wrist make it difficult to wear.

Great work staple.
Flattering and well-fitting work suit. Nothing particularly unique or overly embellished.

Great jacket for cooler weather
I wore this jacket several times for autumn outdoor events. It was the perfect weight for cooler or evening weather as the temperature starts to drop. Great casual look and works well with jeans.

A lot going on with this dress
The dress was a bit overwhelming on me. The small details added up to a lot going on. First, there is a lot of fabric and the dressed king of swallowed me (and I'm not small). I think this ended up being unflattering and frumpy looking for my larger frame. Second, the ruffles along the edge of the wrap just emphasized this problem. Third, the ties at the sleeves just added another element and seemed really unnecessary, besides kind of a nuisance to get tied just right. I would have preferred a simple 3/4 sleeve.

Flattering and versatile
I loved the fit and silhouette. The lace dressed it up enough for a formal event, but it can be dressed down for a work appropriate look. I felt great and loved this dress!

Bright and casual
This is a casual and interesting alternative to a basic tee shirt. It was bit "neon" than I typically wear. I wore to an outdoor concert. My family could pick me out in the crowd.

Versatile and flattering
This dress is flattering and great for pear shapes. I wore it to work and for casual social get togetherness. It's effortless to look put together with this one.

Great work dress
This is a flattering dress for work. It may be a bit low in the front. I wore a camisole under it. It has a subtle print giving it a nice texture.

Love this cross body bag
Perfect for when you're on the go. Great quality, goes with everything, room for the very basics (phone, credit cards). Only complaint is there are not individual slots for cards.

Cute and casual
This was a fun piece to throw on for weekend outings. It's a bit tight in the sleeves and shoulders.

Not a great fit
The fit is odd with this dress. I was expecting a typical wrap dress with a bit more length. However the belt was very high, right under my bust line, not at the waist. This makes the length even more pronounced. This made the dress seem very big and ill fitting in general. This was not a winner for me. Might be good for someone who is very tall and thin.

Great top for work
Very versatile top that goes with many basics in my closet. Can be dressed up or down. Looks great with jeans or a pencil skirt. No issues with fit-very comfortable.

So versatile
I rented this for everyday and it was perfect for many occasions. I wore it with jeans and a t-shirt for a casual weekend look. I also wore it with a black sheath for work. It's a great piece you could throw on with many pieces to make a great outfit.

A great classic piece
I rented this for work and wore it on several occasions. It goes with everything and looks sharp. I recommend wearing a camisole underneath as the material is a bit thin.
