Wantable Style Edit Subscription Box Review – June 2015

I also just received my second box and everything was awful, not my style, looked cheap and was way overpriced. I have returned everything in my first two boxes except one plain black tshirts that was $38 so I could use my styling fee. I had high hopes for this because I love the intimates and accessories boxes but I am canceling this one. I have been getting stitch fix for a while and Ive been pretty happy with it. There is usually at least a few items I keep each time and when I post items on pintrest they normally include them in my box which is a big plus. I also tried daily look elite for a while but found most of their stuff is not just not my style and too expensive for me.

I just got my second box and it was pretty great for something I could keep basically nothing from–they sent great patterns and lots of colors, which I love. But three of the items were maxi dresses, which I just can’t wear as a 5′ tall girl (especially not in Seattle where something too long will get dragged through the rain, assuming it ever rains again). I see where they were going and I’m still going to keep this sub up for at least a few more boxes, but I am a little disappointed by the lack of variation.

I have been a stitch fix subscriber for a year, it has been up and down. The last few fixes, I have had a different stylist each time. I have requested to have the same stylist but maybe since I give such bad feedback, they give me a new one. So I decided to try the wantable edit. My first box was awful! This second box was great! I loved 4 out of the 5 items. So I’ll give it another month. I just need to decide which one I want to cancel.

Liz I’m not trying to be a buzz kill but that Tart dress is from like 2 years ago. Don’t pay 137.00 for it. Everything else is super cute!

I’ve had hit and miss results from stitch fix. I tried Wantable style in June and it was terrible. I was hoping to keep at least one piece but I had to send it all back and lose the $20. I got 4 oversized, boxy polyester tanks. Basically the same shirt in four different colors. Except two of them were very similar tropical prints. Plus one pair of jeans that were okay but not worth $140 or whatever they were. Not my style at all. Cheap feeling clothes with high price tags.

Anyone tried Keaton Row?

I know it’s been cool, wet and rainy in our area. Did you ask for long sleeves? I think of all the style services that have been reviewed, I like the Wantable Style Edit reviews the best.

How do you compare this to Stitch Fix? I had high hopes for Stitch Fix- they were going in the right direction, but didn’t get it quite right for my first two fixes, and then last month, I got the WORST fix ever (including colors I specifically had banned, a dress in a cut I specifically commented I didn’t want, and jeans a size smaller than was on my profile). There’s one on the way now and I’ll see how it is…

i don’t think I could bring myself to pay over $50 for a sweatshirt no matter how much I liked it.

I almost bought shoes (at Shoe Carnival, on sale, because I’m cheap) in the color of that last shirt this weekend. But I didn’t have anything to wear them with.

I’m kind of curious to try one of these services and see how they do for me (because I seem to have completely different taste from most of the people who review them on blogs) but I know I would never want to cough up the $$$ to actually buy any of the pieces, so it’d pretty much be a wasted styling fee.
