Rent the Runway Non-Clothing Items
Gold Chain
First up from Rent the Runway, I picked out this beautiful gold chain. I’ve been wearing it for a few months now and I absolutely love it. It’s a simple, yet chic accessory that can be paired with any outfit. The quality of the chain is really impressive, and it actually feels like it’s solid gold, not just gold-plated. It adds a touch of elegance to any look, and I highly recommend it.
Pave Earrings
Next, I got these stunning pave earrings from Rent the Runway, and I have to say, they look so expensive! They’re incredibly sparkly and definitely add a touch of glamour to any outfit. I can’t wait to wear these for a special occasion. The quality is really impressive, and they feel so luxurious. I’m definitely going to get a lot of use out of these earrings.
Sunglasses by Karen Walker
Lastly, I picked out these sunglasses by Karen Walker from Rent the Runway, and I am in love with them. They have such an effortlessly chic vibe to them. They’re really easy to wear and can be paired with any outfit. The quality is great, and they feel sturdy and well-made. I might even consider purchasing them because I love them so much. Overall, I’m really pleased with the non-clothing items I rented from Rent the Runway.
Love Whitney Port Pleather Set
Fit and Thoughts
Moving on to the clothing items, let’s talk about this two-piece set by Love Whitney Port. It’s made of pleather, and I have to say, I’m loving the fit. The pants fit me perfectly, and they’re incredibly comfortable to wear. The jacket, however, is a little bit big on me. I should have gotten a size smaller for a better fit. But overall, I think it’s a really chic and cute outfit.
Styling for Various Events
I’m really excited to style this pleather set for various events. I have an upcoming work event, and I think this outfit would be perfect for it. The belted detail adds a nice touch, and it can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. I’m also planning on wearing it for a night out with friends. It’s a versatile outfit that can be styled in different ways, and I can’t wait to see how it turns out.
Rebecca Taylor Presentation Suit
Fit and Comfort of Pants
Next, let’s talk about this Rebecca Taylor presentation suit. I got the jacket in size 8, and it fits me really well. It’s comfortable and has a great tailored look. However, the pants are in size 12 because my top size doesn’t match my bottom size. Despite the size difference, the pants are surprisingly comfortable to wear. The fit is flattering, and I feel confident and professional in this suit.
Different Top and Bottom Sizes
It’s worth mentioning that it can be a bit frustrating when your top size doesn’t match your bottom size. It’s something many of us face when shopping for outfits. But on the bright side, it’s great to have options and find pieces that fit our bodies well. In this case, I’m really happy with how the suit fits overall, despite the size difference.
Gripe About Material Difference
One thing I do have to mention is that the pants are not made of the same material as the top. While the top has a nice thick material, the pants are made of a thinner fabric. It’s a bit disappointing because I would have preferred the pants to match the top in terms of material. However, it does make the pants more comfortable and easier to move in, so there are pros and cons to it.
Lack of Pockets
Another minor downside is that the suit pants don’t have any pockets. As someone who loves having pockets in pants, it’s a bit of a bummer. However, it’s not a dealbreaker for me because the overall fit and look of the suit outweigh this downside.
Feeling Confident and Professional
Despite the small gripes, I have to say that I absolutely love this suit. It looks incredibly chic and sophisticated, and I feel confident and professional when wearing it. I can’t wait to rock this suit for my presentation and show off my businesswoman vibes. It’s a winning outfit for me.
Description and Design
Now, let’s talk about this chic and fabulous dress. It’s a stunning piece with a unique design. The shoulder is accentuated, which adds a touch of drama and elegance to the dress. The form-fitting silhouette is incredibly flattering, and I love the midi length. Overall, it’s a dress that exudes confidence and style.
Plan to Wear to Brunch
I’ve already decided that I’m going to wear this dress to a brunch on Sunday morning. It’s the perfect dress for a classy and stylish brunch event. I think it’ll make me stand out in a crowd, and I love how it looks on me. It’s comfortable to wear, and I know I’ll feel fabulous in it.
Positive Reaction to Zebra Print
One of the things I love about this dress is the zebra print design. I think it’s such a unique and bold choice. The contrasting stripes give the dress a trendy and eye-catching look. It’s a dress that will turn heads and receive compliments. I can’t wait to show it off at brunch!
Steve Madden Boots
Above the Knee Style
Moving on to accessories, I recently got these amazing Steve Madden boots. They’re above-the-knee style, and I have to say, they make a statement. They’re incredibly stylish and add an edgy touch to any outfit. I love the height of these boots and how they elongate my legs. They’re a showstopper.
Can be Slouched
One of the things I love about these boots is that they can be slouched. This gives them a more relaxed and laid-back look, which is perfect for casual outings. It adds a bit of versatility to the boots, and I appreciate that. Overall, they’re a great addition to my shoe collection, and I can’t wait to style them in different ways.
Frustration with a Store
Negative Experience with Return Policy
Now, let’s talk about a negative experience I had with a store recently. I won’t mention the store’s name, but it’s a place that sells clothes catered to “IG models.” Their return policy left a lot to be desired. When I had an issue with the items I purchased, I tried to return them, but they didn’t offer any refunds.
Multiple Exchanges for Smelly and Incorrectly Sized Items
On top of that, I had to make multiple trips back to the store to exchange the items. Some of the clothes had a weird smell to them, and others were incorrectly sized. It was frustrating to have to go back and forth, especially when they didn’t have a proper return policy. It felt like a waste of time and energy.
