Keep the blue ric rac! Don’t think of the pineapples as summer, but think of them as the southern symbol for hospitality! It’s a great hostess dress!
That is what I thought with the Pineapple- I think it is seasonless and beautiful!
The green floral looks great on you, my fav of the bunch. I'd love to see what the smaller size would look like but perhaps just tying the back might help it feel more secure. The fluidity of the fabric is so dreamy and romantic, especially in the sleeves. TFS
I looove your attitude. I feel like you’re encouraging me personally. You’ve inspired me to wear what makes me happy. And the blue dress is designed brilliantly. The seaming and darts are perfectly placed to show off your shape, and the placement of the white trim makes me think of beautiful period-French dresses.
You encourage us to look at clothing as fun and flirty, something I haven’t done in a long time, maybe never. As for renting clothing, I never even knew that was an option but now, I’m considering it. We are newly retired and going on a number of big trips. Renting something special to wear for those big evening events makes so much more sense than buying something that I may not need again ever. BTW, the last dress was spectacular on you.
Great idea for those of us newly retired!
Elsa, I love that idea- this would be so wonderful for a vacation because so often you won’t use those items again (or at least not often). We went to Germany in November and needed clothing for a much colder climate than we have in Texas. I bought things that I may not use again for a very long time. I’m wearing the last dress to work today and am strongly considering keeping it!!
I’m sorry, but the butterfly dress was giving Wilma Flintstone vibes bc of the uneven hemline. No go, even on the model.
The green floral was stunning, a keeper in a smaller size so you’d be comfortable in it, & despite my initial skepticism, the blue rickrack was lovely on you. Great color, bold pattern but not too much, beautiful flow.
Thanks for another fun video!
I thought the same thing on Wilma Flintstone! The blue was amazing
The Let Me Be dress is SO cute, it gives me hard core fairytale vibes! Also, the butterfly dress would be perfect for a date night picnic in the park. But honestly, if you like the butterfly dress, you wear it wherever the heck you want! You be you, and you be happy.
LoL on the butterfly dress. I’d have that swallowtail pinned up in a skinny minute. It would make me nuts with that one point touching my leg. 😂
Sumorset is gorgeous!! A keeper for sure!
That strapless looked really nice on you! I have a blouse in viscose and the feel of the fabric is my favorite thing about it. I think it came in a Fashom box where you automatically keep everything. Actually the style is good to but the print just isn’t me. I wore it one day last week to see if I enjoyed it enough to keep. I’ve had it about a year and never worn it so you can imagine, it’s in the donate bag now. Anyway all of that being said, I’m surprised you didn’t like the fabric in the strapless.
A shame the Odetta is too big. Gorgeous spring look!
Flo is definitely dreamy! Too short for me but it hits you just right.
The last dress is definitely a keeper. And I wouldn’t worry about the weight of linen. I feel like linen keeps me cooler than being naked would. Hope that it works like that in this beauty!
Renting is definitely a fun option for special occasions. Glad you’ve had such fun with it! Thanks for sharing!!
And “welcome back”! Hope you’re feeling as good as you look!🎉
Loved the white/blue Anthropology! I did NOT like the Let Me Be dress when you pulled it out of the box, but on, it looked great. Very complimentary of your skin tone. And... definitely keep the last dress!!
Fun to see how more expensive clothing looks. Different and more classy then the usual cheap stuff. Pieces that stand out. My dream to have a place to try on plus size clothing in designer brands.
I would absolutely love that! You open it and I’ll come shop, it will be amazing!! I think the only brand that I see often that is at all comperable is City Chic- everything is just made so well! I really don’t need the rental service, but I also love trying on the nicer pieces!
I can see using this for a vacation/cruise. Lots of options outside your normal wardrobe.
I think you are right, there were so many things that I could find for a cruise. We went to Germany in November and it was much colder than our winters, so possibly renting cold weather items would be nice, too!
I'm glad you're feeling better!!!! The dresses were beautiful!! I loved the green floral, peach and blue tea dress and the last one!! You need to keep that one!!!!! I've never even thought about renting clothes. I don't know how I feel about it.
Love you Meredith!!Your energy cheers my day whenever your posts pop up!
Thank you so much. ❤️❤️
You wear any dress you want, to any time you want. I love being dressed interesting and people wondering what my life must be. I'm just going to the supermarket! If you need an occasion, I think any art show (for the first dress) would be great. It would be super appreciated.
Loved this Nuuly video!!!
Liked the styles! Liked the natural fiber fabrics!
I wish my budget could accommodate this. Would love more Nuuly videos. I love pretty things. And dreaming is free. ❤️💖✨💃🏻
Love, Hugs, Blessings & Sparkles! ❤️🫂💖✨
Wow! The last Farm Rio blue dress is just wonderful, The colour was lovely on you, and the fit was just perfect.
You look WONDERFUL in the butterfly dress!!!!
I like the butterfly dress. What about a black body suit and black ankle boots. Love everything
I think you’re so pretty. I think you look really good in everything you wear. It doesn’t mean everything you try on looks good. It just means you’re very pretty. It’s funny what you think looks good and what I think looks good. Sometimes you put on things that you dislike and I love, I love the way things look on you. Anyway, I’m a heavy woman and I’m struggling as I’m shorter than you, much shorter. Thanks for doing all of this for us ha ha ha.
You are just a sweetheart, thank you so much ♥️. That really means a lot to me! I am finding that plus size petites are harder to find than plus sides for a tall gal like me- something that I had never even considered prior to TH-cam! I really wish that some of the brands that specialize in plus, like City Chic, would fill that niche. I hope that you have a wonderful Yhirsday and a lovely weekend ❤️
That butterfly dress is an amazing piece but like you said it is high fashion and needs to have the right place to wear it. The suggestions you gave were great, but I could also see it as a dress at a garden party for those in a creative industry. The blue and white dress is adorable and well made dress (and also a good buy now price), but seems plain for farm rio. They must have realized a more muted blue and white collection because I have a different blue and white farm rio that I bought on super clearance at anthro last fall. The red dress is cute, but looks a bit cheap and is not the best shape for your body (and honestly the tube sheath silhouette does not look great on many people). The oddette dress is beautiful and my personal favorite. And finally the last one has you written all over it. Looks like it’s inspired by the Silke dresses and the Japanese Lolita style dresses. You need to keep this given your romantic, girly, pretty style. The second farm rio is great! The pattern and details are incredibly flattering and it’s not quite as “cute” as the first one.
I LOVE antro and have spent TONS of money there. I’m not working now and could see Nurly as a one off purchase if I had a very special event to attend since I’m not doing much these days.
Love your videos as always Meredith and your videos are always a breath of true positivity and fresh air
I liked the white & blue & the mint green they all looked wonderful on you. I had no idea that so many rental options were out there.😀
Linen is summer fabric, even when it's heavy. It feels cool, looks nice even when it's wrinkled and is practically stain resistant 🙂I could see me use a renting service with a specific event or a photo shoot in mind, but not months back-to-back. This would save a lot if one had a fancy wedding party or a cruise with nothing to wear.
I wore the linen dress yesterday, and it was about 94 degrees and crazy humid- you were right, I was perfectly comfortable!
Love the blue tic rack so DEFINITLY keep! Same with white dress & blue. The green dress is gorgeous if it were right size. Never thought I’d rent clothes before but absolutely would try this if I still worked full time. Still might try it just because I like wearing feminine dresses even if only in my home alone😅❤❤❤
This service is perfect for compulsive shoppers and anyone who just craves something new all the time! $98 is much cheaper than buying a couple of items a week
Hi Meredith! Thanks for introducing this kind of service… never heard of it before but will check it out! As far as the dresses go you did save the best for last. I also loved the white dress with blue embroidery on it. Both looked so good on you! Nope on the butterfly.
I have rented the runway clothes. I go to many events and I don’t want to buy a new outfit for each event so I rent. I have not heard of this service so I need to try 🎉
Love the white the green and the blue on you. The white and green are amazing on you. The blue is a good multipurpose.
Thank you so much, Neda! I have worn all three of those now and really like them even more that I did at first blush. I think this was a lot of fun! Thank you for always being so awesome and always commenting, I really appreciate your thoughts on what I’m showing and your support of me!
I think if you are going on a vacation and need clothes this idea is perfect. Or if you get reimbursed by your job then it's awesome!
Hey if the butterfly dress brings you joy wear it, you can wear it at a bbq gathering like pool party but you just glow
Thank you, Ann Marie! I don’t think it is practical at all, but boy is it fun! I think I’m wearing it to a small family pool party - just my parents, siblings and their kids! My nieces will think it is so fun!
I love “the heart wants what the heart wants” attitude. Great idea for a rental service to be able to try something different than what you would normally buy. Would be great for a cruise or vacation to dress up for dinner in some higher end fashion. No commitment and no cleaning it after.
A cruise would be ideal!! Now I want to take a cruise (not just for Nuuly.. 🤣). I think that any type of vacation would be great, I often buy clothes that don’t work as well for the weather here.
The white dress ❤ I'm impressed with the discounts to purchase. The butterfly dress looked like a bathing suit cover up to me. I bet they are busy for the holidays.
The purchase discounts kind of surprised me! I have heard about my Sister-in-law buying things, but didn’t understand what she meant!
I think you are right on on the butterfly- a very expensive swimsuit cover, mind you!!
Meredith you look lovely in the butterfly dress… no coverup needed!!! I have to say this was a delightful haul… every dress was so pretty on you… awesome!!!
The blue Farm Rio dress is perfect on you!
Thank you, I wore it to work today and absolutely love it! I thought it would be hot, but it was not at all.
I would wear the butterfly dress over a long sleeve, black shapermint v-tee and leggings. Love it!
Oh that is a great idea! I’m trying it!
Love the peachie one, all the anthropology dresses. It would not be my thing to rent clothes but in a pinch what a great idea for those who don’t like wearing the same all the time. The last blue one looks like it would be to worm but great for fall & winter.
Thank you so much, Yvonne!! This was really a lot of fun, I’ll do it again for sure, but not every month. I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts!
Even if you don’t like a particular piece, trying them on lets you know how they might look in a different fabric.
So true and I love that outlook!
Odette was STUNNING, and my favorite as far as pretty. However, I also liked the FarmRio dress because it looked comfortable and I am all about comfort. The other dresses were pretty but not something I'd choose. I would rent a dress if I needed something for a wedding or other one time event but not for these kinds of clothes.
Loved the green dress. I think the peach one was washing you out a bit. And of course if you feel amazing, that's the one you should keep (blue.)
I’ve been seeing this concept lately. Loved this video. I did have two favorites…the long green dress and the shirt peach one with puff sleeves!!!
The first dress was unique but I wouldn't know where to wear it to. The blue/white dress looks amazing on you and I thought the tiki dress did too. The knee length dress was gorgeous.
I loved the mint green and the blue pineapple dresses, but I really really loved the tea party dress on you please don’t let it go.
i think the butterfly could be a glamorous coverup for a pool party w a black bathing suit or you could wear it for a date night just at a cool shmancy bar or restaurant
💙blue florals on you. great look! The Butterfly dress would be perfect for a beach night out. The Farm Rio and Somerse are keepers! The Odetta is pretty but too big. the Flo is adorable. Another keeper! Easter Sunday, High Tea, Garden Parties, Baby Showers. They all look really good, but those were the standouts that were extra flattering while being in your style.
Pineapple is definitely summer and it is beautiful on you.❤❤❤
You ALWAYS get a thumbs up, Meredith! I wasn't sure about the butterfly dress but it was so cute and flirty. Honestly I liked all of them but my favorites were the two blue and white ones, the cut embroidery and your favorite. Get it, get it!!!! Lol keep smiling and stay safe. Love ya!!
ohhh don't even get me started on Farm Rio! Love doesn't describe my feelings for this Brazilian brand! where did I fall in love with it?? Well... While living in Rio!
Oh, that is amazing! I don’t know much about the brand, but you have inspired me to learn!
The last two - the little short fun dress and the longer darker blue that was last are both fantastic - the green one I really like but for me it's far too girly lol- the orange sarong is just a lovely shape but that would be so easy to make for far less money (probably less than the whole box) Personally I like the idea- I'm horrible for buying clothes and not wearing them but something like this would give me the new shiny dresses, not cluttering up my closet and honestly it's less than I'd generally spend...Adding a quick edit - I just came up with the perfect use for this! Vacations! I always spend a fortune on new fun clothes to take on vacation and then once I get back they go into the closet never to be seen again- this would be _fantastic_ for vacations!! Specially something like a cruise because you do tend to need dressier clothes and $98 is a lot better than what you would pay for even one nice dinner dress!
Madame butterfly it’s great to have something you wouldn’t buy but you would like to flutter around in, just for yourself. I can’t help but think that when we started this you wouldn’t think of trying this style but now it’s fun. Blue and white it’s you! But you have this style. Love the green but too big it has to go back. Peach looked great on you very feminine. Farm Rio has pockets send them all back but keep Farm Rio! Have fun while you have them!
Tamara- boy are you right on the butterfly! I totally ordered it on a whim- no way would I have done that a year ago!!
I am wearing the blue Farm Rio today and absolutely adore it… I think it may be staying! Thank you ❤️❤️
I love the green dress with the red flowers, such a beautiful print but they all looked so good on you.
Hey Meridian, I think the butterfly dress would great as a bathing suit cover for a pool party. The other dresses were ok but the blue dress(last dress) you definitely need to buy, it looked amazing on you. Have a good weekend.
Sorry for the autocorrect of your name.
Meredith that blue farmrio dress is soo flattering on you, It’s a winner.
Thank you so much, Stacey!
Anthropology plus is really good ❤. I would wear that butterfly dress to Trader Joe’s to pick up an apple 😂. Too cute to not wear 🎉
I would definitely try this. Hard to commit to a $100+ dress for a single event and then watch it sit in my closet. Would love to have new clothes every month if I could afford it.
I really liked most of them. I’d keep the last one for sure!
I wore it to work today- almost positive it is staying!
This is perfect timing I just got my first nuuly delivered this week. I love Anthropologie but my bank account doesn’t and that’s what got me to try it. I really like my pieces and have worn half of the items already. I think I’ll keep doing nuuly and I suppose if I really really like something but can’t afford it I can re-rent it until it is affordable. Thank you so much for sharing your and your sister in law’s experience and thoughts on the service.
Ahh!! I love that!! I did not know how much I loved Anthropologie until now! I hope that you found some awesome things! - I have had a couple of people say that theirs smelled bad, did you have any trouble with that? I had a strong detergent smell that wasn’t mine, but I hung them up and it is gone.
@@BigonStyle My items had a faint detergent smell but nothing off putting. One of the items had some elastic that had broken down and I can only think that's from the way they launder the clothing. That item also had the biggest discount. I am very tempted to keep/ buy it despite the elastic, it's only on the sleeves, and a cardigan but maybe by the end of 4 weeks I'll be done with both. I already have a "closet" full of items to choose from for my next shipment.
Love, love, love the last dress. It looks terrific on you. I also loved that short, peach one. You are so fun to watch
Love your videos! First time commenting. The white and blue is beautiful and you look gorgeous.
I think the items you chose did just what you try to do in your video…choosing clothes that you feel beautiful in.
The Farm Rio pineapple dress is lovely and I think the white dress is actually the most flattering dress I've ever seen in you. The green dress is nice but zi e seen several similar looks on you recently. While I know you don't care for the fabric of the tiki dress, it was wildly flattering on you. SO chic! The only one I didn't like on you was the fluffy peach and blue dress. If it had had a tea length skirt, i think it would have been fab, but the fluff around your middle focuses everything TO the middle and doesn't take advantage of your height and fabulous shoulder line. I'm your height and build with an only slightly narrower torso, so your reviews are like vintage upscale viewing room modeling sessions for me. If you can wear it, almost guaranteed I can pull it off too. Keep up the fabulous work, sis! Muck love!
Thank you Marcella! I really appreciate your thoughts!! I think you are right on the peach (I still really love the idea of it!) I wore the red strapless to a poolside barbecue and it was perfect! All of the Anthropologie dresses have just been awesome- I never need to go to one of their stores! My debit card wouldn’t be happy!
Absolutely love that last dress - such a great shape. I also love the white dress with blue embroidery. Sadly, I don’t have occasions to need a rental service, but I think it’s a great option. I love the sustainable, reusable packaging. When I see other websites that send clothing in many plastic bags, I do feel that’s wasteful.
Pamela, I agree with you on the plastic packaging- sadly, that has become the norm. Even ordering from Walmart or Torrid, everything comes in so many plastic bags. That is one big point for a service like this!
@@BigonStyleAlthough I have to say the fact that just anyone could open that zipper bag and look around or take stuff out is very concerning. I would be a nervous wreck 😰!
Thank you Meredith! Always love to hear from you! I can’t imagine needing to rent clothes….with that said, I could see it if you were going on a cruise, or on a special vacation. It would be fun to have amazing clothes to wear if that were the case! I totally agree…..wear what makes you feel good! ❤❤
The rental service allows you to try different styles and designers without being obligated to buy it. I love the blue, but my favorite on you is the mint green - so pretty! I think a 2X would have fit you perfectly.
Thank you, Sharon- I really agree, I don’t know how often I will do it, but I will certainly rent from them again. The mint was so flowy and romantic. I am really impressed with Anthropologie.
Fun video. Like you said, renting clothing gives you the option of trying something you might not be sure of. The white and green dresses were beautiful and could be worn to so many places, and the last blue one looked like it was made just for you. Looking forward to the next time you try them!
Absolutely keep the mint green! You were so stunning in that.
Thank you! I wore it today with a red cami under it and it was so perfect!
Love all of them but the orange on… you looked stunning! I am a new sub, 46 yo and a fellow plus size… love you and your personality… feel like I am tying clothes with a girlfriend who knows and appreciates what I have to go though when I shop… feel like I should sip a mimosa while watching you videos! Loved this vid soooooo much!
Gurrrrl! That Rio dress is absolutely beautiful. I hear what you’re saying about it being heavy. But remember it’s made of natural fibers that breathe. My favorite on you was that green dress. You need to get that in your (smaller) size. It looks STUNNING on you. Great video.
You are so right about the natural fibers!! I wore it to work on Friday- now, I have a desk job, but it is in the high 90s with killer humidity here and I was comfortable all day!
The white and blue was my favorite but the last one was a close second!
Thank you- thise were my top 2, as well! I do like the last s little more, but I’m wearing them both as much as I can this month!
The Somerset blue and white looked awesome on you. You should buy it.
Love that you showcase a variety of boxes including things like this. Good to know what’s out there!
Thank you so much, Annaleigh! I am trying to keep it interesting for everyone (myself included!)
I love the From Rio. It looks beautiful with your colouring and linen-viscose is a great mix.
Thank you! I actually wore the Farm Rio to work today and may love it even more! I don’t think this one is going back!!
Such gorgeousness! I love the final dress, and how exciting that you were able to find it after wanting it for so long! The green floral is absolutely stunning too. Perhaps tightening the tie at the back would make it feel more secure, but it's definitely gorgeous. I love your sense of fun with fashion. Thank you so much for this.
Jacqueline- I did not even notice the tie until I was editing- tying it made a huge difference!
Thank you so much for taking the time to comment!!
That was fun! Loved the blue and white dress and the Farm Rio, especially 🥰
Thank you!
Anthropologie - Somerset is awesome!!!!
The first dress looks like the most fabulous pool cover up ever!
You are so bad! Guess who now has a Nuuly subscription?? 😂 I've always wanted to try anthropologie. For so long, I was sized out and now I'm almost exactly where you are size-wise. And the dresses look so wonderful on you!You inspired me to try. I used your code! It's for $15 off two boxes, so $30 total. I figured this is a great way to try anthropologie to see if I like it. Thanks for this video! The white and blue dress looks AMAZING on you. ❤
Me and my wife like the first one and the next to last. She said she would keep the first one and when it got colder she put leggings under the dress. She didn't like the last one she said it like a robe. Have a blessed day.
What an amazing concept, renting clothes?, where have I been. I can’t believe it, love this video.
After I picked up my jaw, I think each piece of clothing have their own unique place in your life. I enjoyed this video so much.
The last one looks fabulous on you!
Loved the white with the blue. You are so entertaining. Love that you keep new things plus old things coming. ❤
Thank you, Victoria!!
I love the Odesa Dress!
Farm Rio for the win
Wow! The biggest rickrac ever on that farm Rio dress. Love it. The green dress was beautiful. Love the short number and the embroidered. Your dress today looks so comfy.
Great video. I’ve previously used Gwynnie Bee, but I’d never heard of this service. I loved the assortment you picked out. I think the blue dress was amazing on you.
What did you think of Gwynnie Bee? I’m thinking of trying them just for comparisons. The clothes were not as exciting while browsing, but I think I could find lots of things for work.
Loved the white one and the last two on you
Meredith, the Farm Rio dress is beautiful on you.
Thank you, Jodi!
Hi, I have a request… versatile work clothes. I really struggle with how I can look classy with clothes that will last for more than one season… classic slacks, for instance… but not look *boring* or frumpy. If you could give some ideas on how to have some pizazz while still being office appropriate, it would be really great.
Oh, I love that Idea! I have done a City Chic Capsule wardrobe for the office in the past, but I wear a huge mix - it would be fun to pull from my closet and make a kind of ‘use what you have’ kind of video!
I liked them all. I am sure your husband loved the "hot numbers" on you. The first one if it wasn't such a tight fit would be a good bathing suit cover up. If you dare wear it as it, go for it and have fun; the same with the other short dress with all of the layers that you said that you would go to the "Royal Tea" in.
Love how brave you are!
This is one of my favorites that you have done 😎
Taurus here. Not a renter. Too possessive!! Ha ha
Hahaha!! That is the best response ever- I’m a Pisces… I don’t know what my sign means in regards to my feeling on rentals 🤣
Keep the Farm Rio! Its great.
That blue Indian dress was beautiful on you! My favorite was the green dress. The color, the style *chef's kiss*
My only criticism is the music. It's distracting
I held my phone away from myself to see if it was coming from somewhere else! Please consider softer, sweeter music.
You are gorgeous and you always bring it!
Thank you for letting me know about the music! I changed laptops in the middle of editing, and struggled with volume levels, but some of it was a much heavier beat than I typically use.
I think for s special occasion or a fancy vacation it would be great but for everyday casual no. Thanks for the info.
Ohh, I love that blue dress! Please put me at the top of the list to buy it from you if you ever get tired of it! ❤
Absolutely! I just looked at resale sites, it is going for around $200! I think I’m going to have to buy it- I wore it to work today and really do love it! I may need to order it again next time and pass them out!!
@@BigonStyle Yes, please!
I kind of expected the last one to look a lot more saturated than it did 😅Oh well, that just means it's not for me! Looks wonderful though, I adore the smile it brought you, if that returns every time you wear it there's a good chance it's a keeper! Honestly the green floral Odetta was my favorite on you (though I thought you looked lovely in all of them!), but my love of green and macro florals is definitely clouding my judgement here, so I understand if you're not as in love with it as I am- though tying the back string up should help with it fitting more securely, in case that sways your opinion!
Blaire, I wore the Odetta to church this morning and it was just lovely! I did not even notice the toes when I initially tried it on and tying them made a HUGE difference!!
You did the right thing, having rcvd several of the name items you rcvd thru SF and Wantable, I knew they were overpriced. That is sad, but 🤷♀️. Not a downer, just honest ❤
This was really fun!
Thank you!
Hey Meredith! What an interesting video! I've looked at Nuuly before, but didn't know enough about it to take the plunge. You may have changed that.
I'm just giving quick 👍🏻 or 👎🏻 with maybe a quick comment today. Or at least I'm gonna try!
Butterfly - 👎🏻 Partially for style, partially for fit and partially for color (that shade of pale yellow didn't do anything for your skin or your hair colors).
Somerset - 👍🏻 Just gonna say I'm having your hubby send you for a competency exam if you don't keep this one! It's beautiful on you!!
Tiki column dress - 👍🏻 and 👎🏻 I loved the color and print and I think it would be great at your BIL's tiki parties. And for a cover up at beach resort or cruise vacations. You could easily wear it from pool or beach into lunch. Stunning with a big straw hat. Hated the price, especially considering those limited uses.
Odetta - 👎🏻 ish. I was leaning toward 👍🏻 (in a smaller size), until you showed the back. That really limits its usefulness - could you really wear that to your office??? You said it didn't seem hot, but it LOOKED hot. Just not really fan, so I went to 👎🏻.
Let Me Be - 👍🏻 My thought the first time I watched was 👎🏻. It felt a bit short and I'm not fond of super puffy sleeves like that. They remind me of Glinda the Good Witch's dress. When I watched it through a second time, I changed to 👍🏻 because the dress itself was such a good fit and looked lovely on your body and coloring. And you obviously LOVED it! And that really weighs way more than my silly sleeve dislike! 😂😂
Farm Rio Flounce - 👍🏻 This is a lot like the last one. I really didn't like it at all. It looked like a zip up robe or lounger. I did like the look of the fabric and workmanship and it fit well. But I'm in the minority since everyone else liked it. And, more importantly, again, you LOVED it, and that's the goal!
So I couldn't keep to 👍🏻 and 👎🏻. I'm just physically incapable of not yammering on, I guess!
You look great! ❤
I really love your rating system- and appreciate the nuance- I struggle keeping it black and white!
I actually wore the Odetta this morning to church, but wore it with a tomato-red cami underneath. You could see it in both the front and the back, but it made the dress totally appropriate! It really wasn’t hot at all, but the sleeves were a touch itchy.
Thank you!!!
@@BigonStyle
Oh! What a great idea - it hadn't occurred to me to just stick a cami under there! 😂 That's why you're the one making videos! 💙🦋💙
I really like the dress you have on in this video. It looks great on you.
You are absolutely FANTASTIC! I love your videos AND your wonderful, kind & gracious personality. I hope your sister in law’s appreciate you because there are not many of “you” out there! I had no idea that there were rental options available! Not something that would work for me, but fascinating to learn about. You talked about the option of buying, did you keep any of the items? Take care 👍✌️❤️😊
1. Oh the 🦋 BUTTERFLY dress! Lovely and eclectic. I would make it a top. Wear it with jeans. SO CUTE! Wear it with white pants. Summmmmmmer!
2. The Blue & White is divine. Straw hat and tote. Blue looks so gorgeous on you. 🩵
3. The Orange is Tropical summer Vibes. BUT the material looks like it would be constant trouble. Too many wrinkles. I love the design and the print. It’s just the material itself. Sad.
4. Ooooooooo. Chiffon Green Floral? Squeeeeeeeeeee! Green is my fave color so I am biased. Oh, I love it on you! Maybe rent it in your size? The green does look wonderful on you.
5. The Romantic Blue is perfection. Blue is just your color. Wear it for the high tea for sure. It is deffo giving British tea party vibes. Gorgeous. 💙
6. A dress that looks great on any size is magical. I would actually wear it late summer/early fall. Slip a denim shirt-jacket on to stay warm. Imagine you in a pumpkin patch in this dress…cowgirl boots? Oh, yeah! #keeper 💙💙💙
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️. I have worn 4 of these bad boys out and have decided to keep the Farm Rio blue, it is just awesome! My second favorite was that Odetta green! I didn’t have the tie tied in the video and doing so made a huge difference!!
@@BigonStyle GREAT choice! I think you’ll wear that more than you think you will. ❤️❤️
Love the farm rio ❤❤❤
Me, too!!!
