Best bag!
I loved this bag so much - hated to send it back. Great size. I used it for a trip to Chicago and loved the little latch that kept it closed. Will probably rent again... and buy!

Heavy and runs big
Holy macaroni, this thing is a beast. It's a heavy sweater. I sized down per the other reviews and I'm glad I did. The sleeves are still a bit long. But I'm rocking it for Zooms and making it work.

Not good if you have any boobs. Like at all.
Crazy tight in the bust. Rest of the fit was great, but buttons wouldn't come close to closing over my boobs. And I don't even have huge boobs.

The colors and pattern are so stunning here. I ended up buying this top! It runs large, but the flowiness makes it great for a front tuck.

That color!
You guys. The color is even more beautiful in person. It's a heavy sweater.. and a little short in the front, so the fit is kinda weird. But the color makes up for it.

Runs so, so small.
My size 38D boobs and I couldn't get into an XL of this shirt. I was so sad. It's beautiful! But if you're medium busty to RILL RILL busty, skip it.

Heavy!
This sweater was heavier than I expected given the cut outs and pastel color (don't judge a sweater by it's color... like that ol' saying). I'm typically a 12/14 and RTR suggested an xxl for me. It was pretty dang big. Consider sizing down. Great sweater for the "blogger tuck" into the front of your jeans.

Works wonders on your butt!
These are great "everyday" jeans. There is zero stretch and they held their shape all day without stretching out. My butt looked amazing in them - lol! Really though, I felt confident in these jeans!

This bag was just ok.
I love the color (definitely more of a neutral rose than something for a specific season), but it was much smaller than I thought it would be. And the satchel handle on just one side was a bit odd. It needed to be clasped closed in order for things not to fall out.

I had to BUY!
The perfect fall jacket! After wearing it every day for a week, I finally bought it. Great pockets, great color, great texture. It does run a bit snug though. I'm glad I sized up. If you want to wear a sweater or thicker top, definitely consider doing the same!

These jeans live up to the hype. Several friends have recommended Madewell to me and I'm just now trying them. These jeans are crazy comfortable. The cropped flare bottoms feel fun. I wore these all weekend!

The perfect day dress
This dress was definitely designed by a woman, for a woman. It is perfect. My three favorite parts: 1. POCKETS! 2. The upper back of the dress is designed to stretch, making it great for different bust sizes. 3. The fabric behind the buttons is attached - no gaping! I wore this dress to work on two occasions and received so many compliments. I felt comfortable and confident all day long. I 100% recommend it.
