Wantable Style Edit Subscription Box Review – December 2016

Wantable Style Edit has been a major player in the subscription styling service market for over a year now, and they just started offering plus sizes at the end of July. I was thrilled to get the chance to try them out! Wantable Style Edit is one of several different subscription boxes offered by Wantable, including Wantable Intimates, Accessories, Fitness, and Makeup.

This box was sent to us at no cost to review (Check out our review process post to learn more about how we review boxes.)

When I signed up for this service, I took a pretty lengthy quiz in which I indicated my price, size, and style preferences. Wantable uses a great model of indicating what you love, what you like and what you dislike, for all their subscriptions! They send you more of what you love, and never what you dislike. I can go back and change my preferences at any time. Oddly, this is a listing of the preferences for my accessories subscription! This must be a misprint of some kind.

Below my preferences is a note from my stylist, Kate. It explains why she chose the items she picked for me.

This is the invoice of the items they sent me this month. On the right, it shows my cost to keep each item. The total comes to $579. If I keep everything, I get 20% off, plus I get my $20 styling fee deducted. That brings the total down to $443.20 for a discount of $115.80. That's a deep discount!

Side Split Cowl Neck by Wantable(!) - Cost to Keep $68

Wantable has started their own label! I don't wear cowl necks too often, but I kind of like this one. It could be worn with leggings, and the neutral color means I can wear it in a variety of color schemes.

Center Seam Ponte Leggings by Lysse - Cost to Keep $84

I think I have mentioned my love of Lysse in previous posts, but it bears repeating. Yes, these are just plain black leggings, but Lysse makes the most supportive pants you could ever want to own. The price tag is high, but I think it's worth it.

V-neck Long Sleeve Top by Wantable - Cost to Keep $59

I think this top is a little too thin/slinky for comfort. I really like the neckline and the color, though.

Moto Curvy Baroque Skinny Jeans by James Jeans - Cost to Keep $198

I have some jeans from James Jeans that are amazing, but I don't like these as much. I think my legs are too short and chunky to pull off the "moto" look. At this price point, I would have to completely love the jeans to keep them.

Marble Blouse by Melissa McCarthy for Seven7 - Cost to Keep $89

I really like the split neck on this blouse! I think it's a flattering style on me. I also like the print and the cut. I am also really liking the way it looks with my cool new earrings from this month's Peaches and Petals!

Mock Wrap Stripe Dress - Cost to Keep $42

I think this was a really strange choice for Wantable to send in December. Short sleeves and thin material are a little too, well, little, even for us folks in the warmer climes of the country. Yes, I was freezing in this picture! Having said that, I love pretty much everything about this dress. It is flattering, it drapes/falls well, and I love the black and olive stripes. Plus it's a totally faux wrap, so no worries about exposure. Is it too early to pick up a little something for summer? Could I get away with pairing it with a furry cardigan and some leggings? Can I bring back the 90's with this dress?

Floral Blouse by Umgee - Cost to Keep $39

I received a very similar item in last month's Wantable Style Edit. It was exactly the same cut, same neckline, etc., but it was a dress with a different pattern. I didn't like it because I felt like it was just too much material, too much print. I kind of love it in blouse form, and I think I prefer this print. I can see myself getting a lot of wear out of this blouse!

Verdict: I am really loving my Wantable Style Edit so far! This is the first month I received seven items, and I honestly don't know why they don't send seven every month. It's a lot more fun! Not everything was a win this month, but I did find several things I really liked and will probably keep. I think Wantable does a great job of sending me things that are just my style. At the same time, they do manage to push me a little outside my comfort zone. It's so fun to try new things!
