Sporty, different, comfortable
This was super cute and fun to wear. It’s a little oversized but not huge. It has a really open weave, so I wore a tank top under it (at work), which worked modesty-wise.

A bit blah but fine for work.
These are your basic unexciting work pants. They have a subtle check that I think is sort of ... charcoal and brown? They're fine. They're soft and comfortable to wear and true to size.

Soft and warm but weird fit.
This was a pleasure to wear -- very soft and not at all itchy. The color is a pretty, deep green (hard to tell from the photo). I didn't mind the deep v neck and just wore a tank under it. BUT, it's weirdly shaped in that the shoulders are wide, and the body is just straight, so (on me at least), the sweater was loose on top but not on the bottom.

Quality item but so short!
You all need to know just how short this vest is. I tried it on with high waisted pants and STILL my midriff was revealed when I raised my arms even just a bit. This should be called "cropped." I couldn't wear it. It fit otherwise (I'm usually an 8, rented a 44.) Besides the fit, this is a nice quality sweater in a very thick yarn. The sparkle in the stripe is subtle and the shoulder zipper is a nice detail.

Lovely pants, but they run small
Usually Vince is a bit oversized for me, so I thought I'd be safe with a size 8 (my usual), but no. I could barely button these. Maybe it's because the waist is high? Not sure, but I couldn't wear them, which is sad, because they are really nice. The velvet is luxe and soft, and a great color.

The sizing in the description is way off!
The description says a medium is equivalent to size 4, large is 6, x-lg is 8-10. I'm usually a medium/6-8, so I ordered a large and was absolutely SWIMMING in it. RTR needs to correct the sizing! The large seems more like a 10-12, so order accordingly. This was much too large to wear. It otherwise is a nice jacket. A bit heavy (not a lightweight down; just quilted). Well made and it's cool that it reverses.

Different, with interesting details
This shirt is bright and fun, and the puffed sleeves and subtle embroidery details make it stand out among other blouses. It's a soft cotton/rayon that does not wrinkle easily. Works well with jeans, trousers, or skirts. Love it.

Cute, slightly different jeans.
These jeans have an interesting assortment of pockets, so they're a bit different than your standard pair. I tend not to like much stretch in jeans, but these are pleasantly stretchy and make the higher waist comfortable. I say they run small because the 30 fits me perfectly and I'm normally a 27-29 (or an 8), depending on the brand.

Bright, pretty work blouse
This blouse was a bit broad in the shoulders but otherwise fit really well. It's comfortable and swingy. The shortish length means you probably can't tuck it in, except with high waisted pants. I got quite a few compliments, especially on the color, which, in real life, is more of a wine than a bright red.

Still getting used to European sizes...
These are great pants, but I fear I won't be able to wear them -- too big, and they don't have belt loops. I'm normally a size 8 and these 44s were almost falling off. I may try to exchange them for a 42. Lesson learned.
