Love the pattern!
Really loved this blouse more than I expected to! Super cute pattern, the soft silk fabric feels divine. I wasn't sure how I'd feel about the ruffle sleeves being too girly but they totally made the look. Looks great tucked into pencil skirt for work or untucked with skinny jeans. Considering buying!

Cute buttons down the back
Loved the fabric of this blouse. It hung nicely, but I couldn't make it look nice with a push up bra underneath (had to wear boob slimming one instead), so I don't think it would be a good fit for bustier ladies. Buttons down the back really cute and unexpected feature (though warning, challenging to do up yourself if you're not flexible or have long arms!). Looks good tucked into high waisted pencil skirt or untucked.

Power jumper!
Love this jumper! It feels like such a power outfit for the office, yet it transitions perfectly to nighttime cocktails. Received a TON of compliments. Heavy fabric is lined and the perfect weight to give a high quality look. Bright colors popped. Roomy cut of the pants allows for us girls with booty to have some room to move and sit without being restricted. Top is draped conservatively enough that it's worn appropriate. Strongly considering buying this piece.

Beautiful print! Fun to style
I really liked this skirt! The pattern was fun and it could be styled several ways (Spanish: knitted white tank; western: tied denim with rolled sleeves). The fabric was lined and soft against the skin. The gaping by the buttons wasn't as much of an issue for me, but I did size up based on previous reviews and the fact that the fabric didn't have any stretch. Only con that subtracted one star - I wished it was high waisted. The waist hit my hips, which is my widest part. Still - super cute skirt.

Pretty colors, light fabric, easy to wear
Pros: beautiful colors, the silky fabric was nice and light for hot weather, the length hit me just above the knee (I'm 5'7"), and the sleeves fit my muscular arms perfectly without being too tight. Cons: the waist was higher than my natural waist (I have a longer torso), so the strings to keep the wrap shut didn't hit me at my narrowest point. Had to keep the strings tight to keep the neckline from gaping, which got uncomfortable. Overall, happy with the rental but won't rent again.

Super fun and whimsical earrings!
I loved everything about these earrings! The color is bright but not distracting. The dragonfly shape makes them feel whimsical. They are statement earrings but aren't *too* big. They were surprisingly light on my ears and the stoppers were tight/solid so I knew they'd be secure. Wore them for a date night out with another RTR rental - a fun polka dot dress!

Unstructured blazer
Wore this for work. I really liked the unstructured aspect of this blazer. The linen fabric gave it a casual feel too. Can be worn open or cinched with a belt. It was really comfortable! I am usually a 4/6, but have broad shoulders. Really glad I sized down to a 2 - it fit perfectly.

Perfect fit! Beautiful flow!
I loved everything about this dress! The slight ruffle at the hem flowed beautifully. At 5'7" with a slim build (140 lbs), the elastic waist hit me at my natural waist line (most waist lines hit at my ribcage since I have a long torso). The length worked for me, but I also had 4" heals on (could be tough for anyone short or who wears flats). I was worried the arm bands would be too tight (I have bigger arms) but they were super comfortable. The asymmetrical length was super cute and flattering! Polka dots made it fun for a celebratory date night. Would highly recommend this dress. I am considering buying it.
