Great statement piece!
Not super functional though. I found it stiff, heavy and hard to move in this piece. Is it a shirt; is it a jacket? Maybe both. Nonetheless, it is beautiful and great quality.

On trend!
Cute take on the balloon pant trend - so expect big! This XS fit me well. Styled with a basic black FP tee. More flattering from the front than behind, I will say that!

Even petite are loonnngggg
This is my second time renting these pants. This time in petite, and I still found them too long. Here they are with 3-inch heels underneath! They are super cute though and on trend. Waist is snug.

Size up!
I sized up to a Medium and was super happy that I did. The red is gorgeous but I struggled with the brown/taupe that didn't go with a lot. ... except jeans?

Loved! Bought!
Comfy for work and could be great with a more casual fit. Sambas maybe? These were versatile and stylish enough - and priced right - they are now permanently in my closet.

Oh Sandro!!
Lovely, thick and warm cream sweater. I found it to be a little too cropped (see photo) and felt like I had to keep checking that my lower back was covered… just like I was wearing low-rise jeans circa 2000-ish.

Great jeans!
As other reviewers have mentioned, these are great jeans! Petite friendly. They do stretch out the more you wear, which makes it nice to have the extra buttons at the waist. Super functional!

So cute for holidays!
I wore this sweater so much over the holidays! It was festive, but not over the top, warm and fit well. It looked cute over leggings or with jeans. Compliments galore! I would have purchased but I don’t think I’d wear it other than on/during holidays.

Great color; large!
I rented the extra small and still found it large, but I wore it a ton anyway. The sleeves were long and cumbersome. But it was warm and had great details - corduroy collar, burgundy and weather-resistant material.

Dress up, dress down. I wore this top to work with a black skirt, but it would also look super cute with jeans. I liked how the small fit, but could have gone with XS. Wore a cami underneath. Nice quality material.

The most barrel-y of all the jeans I’ve tried so far this season. I do wish I would have sized up one for a little more room in the waist and hips. Still wearable and super fun!

LOVE 😍 My go-to for fall, so far!
I’ve worn this three times already, and I just received it! Super cute; versatile with belt and jeans or unbelted over black leggings. I’ve received so many compliments! Great quality; warm, no-jacket needed on 50-degree fall days.

She’s a love-hate relationship
After reading others’ reviews, I found them spot on - you either love this dress or hate it! I LOVE IT. I wore it so many times, I had to make it part of my permanent closet. Just can’t give her up… Things to note: size up and you’ll love it, too; it does give 40s vibes in the best way; doesn’t wrinkle; edgy print with high-low hem.

Because life is too short to wear boring clothes
LOVED these pants. So fun and unique. They did get wrinkly as the day went on, and they were thicker than I’d expected. … talk about compliments though… a stranger chased me down, just to say she loved these pants!

Beautiful color; linen; a bit snug through chest
Loved this VB vest; on trend right now. Paired nicely with white pants. Very classy! I might consider sizing up one if I ordered again as it’s a little snug through the chest.. maybe due to its thickness.
