Cute Retro 90s Vibe
These jeans are super comfortable and the legs do run a bit large. My problem was that the stomach was beyond unflattering when I sat down. Granted, I am up a size or two anyway. Time for a core workout.

Retro 80-90s Vibe
The pattern of this shirt is very cute, but again, it's another aged rental. The shirt is pilling/nubby in places. It also is not nearly as long as shown in the photo. It is just long enough to tuck into high-rise jeans. I get the feeling it was put in a washing machine or dryer instead of dry cleaned. I'm sorely disappointed because I love the cut, especially the shoulders.

Easy and Polished. Another DVF Beauty
This is a very pretty dress. I just don't think it was particularly flattering on me. I didn't like the darts at the bust and the skirt was too full. The sleeve length and fabrication are gorgeous, though.

Great Size and Chic Design
This bag fits so much and is a pretty design. The only drawbacks are it is looking quite loved and needs a bit of TLC and reshaping, and the color is odd.

A Go-To Necklace for Layering
This is a cute layering necklace but be forewarned it looks totally fake gold when worn with the real deal. I ended up wearing every day for a week as a no-brainer.

Can I wear these every day?!
These are perfect to feel a bit more refined as I strive to lose the COVID weight and feel confident about my appearance. I love them. Such an easy way to get out of sweats and transition back to work clothes.

Elegant and Slimming, But I Needed to Size Up
I found the waist/torso on this to run to very small. I have a narrow rib cage and a full bust. The 10 was too small at the waist and the snap closure kept popping. I should have ordered a size larger. The dress is very pretty and made me look slender. Darn it!

Too Bright for Me
A beautiful dress but too formal and bright. It is absolutely as photographed. I thought I could go out of my comfort zone. Not yet.

Did This Shrink?!
When I took this off the hanger and held it up, I was surprised at how small it looked. It looks like a medium or maybe a large in the BP section of Nordstroms. It was too body-conscious for me. I would love to try it again in a size up. This is what frustrates me about RTR. About 1/2 the items I get don't fit. It's hard to tell which brands I need to size up or down in.

Beautiful Fabric
This skirt looks great with almost any top, from a dressy blouse to a graphic t-shirt. I love it! I rented it last summer and had to have it again this year.

One of My Favorite Rentals
If it weren't summer, I'd live in this skirt! I rented it last spring and wore it to death. I'd say it's a 3-season skirt. It easily transitions from formal to super casual. I love it.

Pretty on a Hot Summer Day
I wasn't sure how this would fit, as I typically wear a 10 in Veronica Beard jackets, so I sized up. I shouldn't have. I didn't like the waist tie at first, but I admit it's very strategically placed at the smallest part of the waist, making it flattering. I was afraid it'd look matronly on me. It didn't. Beautiful dress!

I Can't Part with It
This is the perfect summer bag. It's roomier inside than I would have managed and the strap can be worn cross-body or as a shoulder bag. It makes me feel chic and pulled together. I'm hanging on to this one all month.

Super Flattering
This dress is gorgeous and looks great with heels or flat sandals (I can picture it with sneakers, too, because of the polo cut). The neckline, sleeve length, and hem length are all modest, but because I'm curvy, it looked sexy.
