Thred Up Goody Box Review

 I decided to try a Thred Up Goody Box.  It was a $10 deposit for a box of 8-10 things.  Per the instructions in the email I got I started favoriting a lot of clothing in their app. This helps them figure out what to send you.

So excited to open and see my goodies!!!

 The paper inside that shows how much everything is.  It also lets you know how to return.  If you keep $75 they give you $10 off your next order.  I'm posting the retail price with the price Thred Up has it listed for.  I haven't gone and done ANY research to see if the retail price is correct.

 Already loved what I saw when I opened the box, and it was just the top!!

 First thing already had a price tag on it!  It was brand spanking new!!!

 First up this Lily Pulitzer sweater!!  I really wanted to keep this.  It was a thin sweater and very soft - but it was $28.99 (retails for $143) and what little spring we get is right around the corner and then we are thrown into summer!

I also have on this GREAT navy skirt.  It is Crown and Ivy brand (I've seen this at Belk and I'm not sure if it's a Belk Store brand or not but I've never seen it any where else.  It's like a working girls Lily Pulitzer.  I can have the Lily look without the price tag!)  I have several Crown and Ivy pieces! 

 It was a sateen fabric with a great ribbed detail, WITH POCKETS!!!  I totally kept this (and wore it to work Monday!) $9.99 (retails $36)

  

I kept the sweater on the try on these Crown and Ivy shorts.  I love the pattern and they fit great.  Kept: $11.99 (retail $36)

 Another Crown and Ivy item is this sweater (also with original price tag).  I put it on and fell in love!  Kept this!  $6.99 (retails $13 - which it was marked as clearance on the tag for $13.99 I believe FULL retail price was around $30-40)

 This is why favoriting items is important.  I favorited all the Lily P stuff I had my eyes on.  I have a bunch of shorts "hearted" in the app.  These white eyelet with scallop edge was one of them (see picture above for entire short picture).  Tried them on and they fit PERFECT!  Kept these: $18.99 (retail $71) (I usually spend $22-$25 for LP shorts at Clothes Mentor so these were a great price for me!

 I was on the fence about this dress.  I LOVED it and it fit, but the straps aren't adjustable.  I tried to untie and re-tie but they are sewn at the knot.  BUT the straps can come off completely.  I ended up keeping this NEW WITH TAGS dress by Market and Spruce (Stitch Fix sends this brand A LOT!) $20.99 (retail $71)

 Great embroidery down the sleeves.

 This dress was just ok.   The fabric was soft and sturdy (wouldn't blow around in the wind), but it was too short to wear to work.  It nailed me on the scallop trim again! The brand of this dress was "Crescent"  Sent this back: $18.99 (retail $71)

 I don't usually like Maxi dresses OR strapless ones.  It was WAY too long for me.  I sent this "Unbranded" dress back: $27.99 (retail $115)

 You guys know I love Lularoe - the Kimono was NEVER my favorite piece they have.  The style isn't me AT ALL, sent back: $19.99 (retail $40)

 These shorts fit great but I have a pair similar to them! "Boden" brand.  Sent back: $18.99 (retail $49)

 I didn't get this dress with my Goody Box - but it is a Thred Up purchased dress that arrived the same day as my box.  It's another Crown and Ivy dress - $14.99 (retail $48)

Here is a close up of what was sent to me.  I ended up keeping the C&I skirt, shorts and cardigan, and the LP shorts.  They take off my $10 shipping deposit from that total.  I will DEFINITELY be doing this again.  I might stop my Nadine West for a bit because they haven't nailed me in the last few boxes.

Another Stitch Fix Box

I received another Stitch Fix box.  I loved all but one thing but sending that one thing back would have caused the box to be more money.  I kept all 5 items for $157 with the discount.

 

I love this sweater, it's a great color.  It's a medium but I have room to layer it.  I feel like if they sent me a small I would have a hard time lifting my arms in it.

 I'm a sucker for scarves.  Normally these blanket scarves are stiff and scratchy, this one is so soft and not stiff at all!!

 Normally I do not like cinch around the waist jackets.  But this one I was cool with once I let out the strings a bit.  It's a really soft material and it stretches with me, so I don't feel like I'm going to bust a seam in the back when I move my arms.

  They also sent me this great black shirt.  I don't know why they sent me mediums in all the shirts they sent, because I changed my profile to reflect I should be getting smalls.  I probably should have sent this back to get a small but I liked that I could wear leggings with it and it covered my tookus.

 

Hard to tell that the fabric on the shoulders is a little different than the rest.

The main fabric isn't a typical cotton it's more of a knit and the edging and back of the shoulders is more of a chiffon. 

Stitch Fix Box!!

I saw a special in my email from Stitch Fix about them waiving the styling fee for a box that was scheduled within the next 60 days.  So I scheduled one for 30 days later.  I got 5 great things and I wish I would have been able to afford to keep all 5 at $198 with the discount. 

This is real life here people.  Normally I try to take pictures as I wear them, but I knew a lot of these had to be returned, so I didn't have that luxury.  So you get at the end of the day with the leggings I wore to shuffle my kids to activities with and my hair in a crazy pony tail and no makeup!

 I wore this shirt to work today.  It was a very light and airy I LOVED it.  Keep $36.

 While this dolman top was super soft, I just didn't like the fit.  Send back $58.

 I like the style and color of this top, I loved the gold details as well.  The elastic on the sleeves bugged me enough just wearing it for a little bit that it would annoy me at work before the end of the day.  Send back $44.

 The material is very soft on this cardigan, but do I need another basic black cardigan?  Send back $38.

 I loved the style of these jeans.  Here is where I had a "duh" moment with this box.  I TOTALLY forgot to change my style profile to reflect my recent weight loss.  So these pants were HUGE on me.  BUT since the last time I have done Stitch Fix they offer an exchange for a size option.  I emailed the company because I was worried that once I exchanged and tried them on I would be stuck with $88 jeans that I didn't like the look on me of.  But thankfully if once I get the replacement size I don't like the fit on me I CAN send them back for a full refund.  Now I don't know how it works when you keep a whole box and receive your exchange and you decide to send them back.  I assume they would deduct 25% from the original price.  For now Keep $88.



Nadine West - Box 6

 Got my 6th Nadine West Box this week!!!  I love 1/2 of it this time. 

First this t-shirt dress.  I love the detail at the top, works GREAT with leggings and makes it the perfect outfit for work! $32.99 Keep.

AGAIN on point with the mesh leggings, I love that I got a different color than black this go around. $33.99 Keep.

Now this shirt, while it's cute and fits my daughter perfectly, she can't wear cold shoulder shirts to school.  Also you'll notice in the screen shot below the shirt doesn't look ANYTHING like the picture.  The pattern is completely different.  Had the pattern that was shown in the shipping information been sent to me I likely would have kept it.  The colors and pattern are far too muted for our taste.  $30.49 Send back

Now this tank is cute, I personally (as well as my daughter) didn't like the metal medallion that is in the center.  We live in Georgia, I can imagine that that metal will heat up in the summer and burn the dickens out of our chest. Also we are nearing the end of summer and we are looking for fall clothes now. $24.49 Send back.

The total for the pieces I'm keeping will be $66.98 and because I took a survey about the service I got a $3 credit so it will end up costing $63.98.
