Very soft
Nice fall style, super comfortable. A good rental...I loved these, but they are so bright and distinctive that I was ready to send them back at the end of the month.

Very comfortable on the shoulder. Nice smallish medium size.

Runs small and short
Size up! And prepare to wear with high-waisted pants. Very soft yarn, good for sensitive skin.

Cute and comfy
Soft, stretchy denim. Doesn't stretch out with wear. Flattering fit, comfortable higher-but-not-too-high waistline.

Unusual color combination. Great for hot days
Sort of stiff linen, which helps keep waist creases down. Definitely oversized; really cute with fitted cropped jeans. Unusual color combo is pretty for late summer.

Warm Spring sweater
Gorgeous color, really makes skin glow. This is a very warm sweater...good for cold or cool early spring days. Soft yarn, no itching.

Runs small
Runs small in the hips and waist. Cute pants, though. Denim is thick and soft.

Fun for dark, grey days
Flattering fit, nice stretchy knit, lots of compliments. You have to be in the mood for it, though. You will stand out in a crowd! I wouldn't buy it for that reason and because I don't think I would wear it enough to justify the price.
Rib Turtleneck Pullover

Gorgeous leather and lining
I thought I would like this purse, but IRL it was too blingy for me. The gold chain in the strap is super chunky.

Fun alternative to plain black leggings
Cute...waistband fabric (but not elastic) was ripped, but I wore these with longer tops, so it didn't matter. My husband loved the stripes down the side.
Black Plaid Leggings

Didn't wear
Very stiff fabric, not enough stretch.

Great color for fall
Perfect size for every day and a pretty color that goes with almost everything (looks particularly great with grey and black). The zipper was a little hard to zip, though -- don't try to do it with one hand! Also, I'm not sure why, but the leather looks a little like fake leather. I decided not to buy it for that reason.
Port Kita Bag
AllSaints

A good basic
Good quality knit, warm, nice color (not too yellow), but ultimately not very exciting. I only wore it once, because it just didn't stand out from other basics in my closet.
Striped Hank Cardigan
cupcakes and cashmere
Size Worn: XS
Usual Size: 2
Height: 5' 7"
Weight: 115lbs
Bust: 32B
Pretty skirt, but didn't wear
Runs small, and with a bulky zipper at the front, it wasn't flattering. Nice soft, thick fabric, though.
Faux Suede Flare Skirt
Slate & Willow
Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 2
Height: 5' 7"
Weight: 115lbs
Bust: 32B
Fun top
Nice thick cotton fabric, flattering cut...very summery without being bare. The mirrored ornaments on the neckline were too bling-y for me for every day. Cute party top, though.
Navy Tory Tunic Top
Tory Burch

Nice dressy-casual piece for warm weather
Bodice was very low-cut and had to be pinned closed...a snap would have been perfect. This is a cute jumpsuit and perfectly straddles the line between dressy and casual. But don't expect to be able to get in and out of the restroom quickly! Waistline had two small buttons with loop closures that were maddeningly hard to do and undo. If I were going to keep this, I would replace the buttons with snaps.

A keeper
Perfect fit...very flattering. Perfect for hot days. Looks great with black, white or denim. Unusual, but in a classic stripe and color. I bought it.

Disappointing
The smooth, cool and crisp shirting fabric was lovely, and the top was pretty and sophisticated for about three minutes. Then the sash would come untied (it was too short to knot), and I couldn't find a workable way to secure it. When the sash came loose, it just looked like a big pile of fabric at the waistline. Not a good look.
