Gwynnie Bee Review + Free Month Coupon – November 2015
Gwynnie Bee is a clothing rental subscription service for women sizes 10-32. I have been intrigued with their concept for a while because I think plus-sized clothing is sorely underserved in the subscription box market. I have been really happy to have an opportunity to try them out!

This review is of the 3 items at a time subscription from 10/21 through 11/20.
KIYONNA – Pretty In Print Wrap Top In Magenta Floral
I think Kiyonna’s tops are among the most flattering for plus sized women. This was cute and comfortable to wear.
I selected this because I don’t think I’ve ever worn a cape before, and unfortunately, that statement is still true. The main reason is because it still hasn’t been cold enough here to warrant anything warmer than a light jacket! But when I was contemplating where and how I could wear this, I just couldn’t come up with anything. It has an elegant cut but a lumberjack print. Ideas?
ROBBIE BEE – Side Tie Dress In Fall Watercolor
This dress was really comfortable, and I liked the way it fit a lot. Plus the colors were perfect for fall!
ISABEL + ALICE – Scarf Printed Asymmetric Handkerchief Top
This top was kind of cute on, but the colors are so loud! I like psychedelic prints, but this one was a little jarring for me.
JETE – Painterly Printed A-Line Dress
This was my favorite item all month! I love this shade of purple, and the print was just beautiful! It also had a great cut, and the V-neck was perfect – open, but not revealing. I wanted to keep it, but it was a little out of my price range at the moment. I hope it shows up in the shop some time!
ISABEL + ALICE – Pop Floral Printed Blouse
This top was pretty and comfortable, but the print and the cuffed sleeves were just way too matronly. Additionally, the neckline was a little plunging. It was an odd combination.
The Verdict: Gwynnie Bee is so fun! It’s become a regular part of my monthly wardrobe rotation, and I couldn’t be happier! I wear almost everything they send (ideal or not), so I feel like I have a never-ending wardrobe. I think it’s also cut down on my spending as far as clothing goes, which is great because I tire of items quickly. I’m a big fan of Gwynnie Bee!

So, does this work like Netflix….you can get more than one piece each month but only 1 at a time? (Meaning, package shows up on Wednesday, you wear it, send it back Friday, and they send something else on Monday, etc.?)
I just signed up for the free month and the package was literally sitting on my doorstep 3 days later! I can’t wait to wear something. This came at the perfect time, so I don’t have to worry about finding something to wear for Thanksgiving! 🙂
I had the capelet and the Robbie Bee this month too! I kept the capelet 🙂 I’m going to wear it as outerwear during the not so cold part of the winter here in the south 🙂
Cape: white sweater, jeans (i like gray), and booties at a outdoor event (festival, game, etc)
