When you sign up, you are asked different questions in your "Style Profile". Here are some of the questions alongside my answers:
Then they ask: "Is there anything else that you want to tell us?" And I wrote:
I'm mostly looking for business casual clothing that doesn't show off my bust and is at the knee or below to comply with dresscode restrictions. However, I want something that accurately reflects my personality. I work in IT, so I can show off personality in my wardrobe just fine, it just needs to generally read as professional but flamboyant. I am not really into neutrals or pastels. I typically go for a black or gray paired with a bright splash of color. Think "Corporate Goth".
Today, I got my first box. It is shipped via USPS. Here is what the box looked like:
And right when I opened it:
Here are the pieces I got in this box:
An orange/brick red faux wrap top with half sleeves and relaxed, flowy waist paired with a heavy but stretchy black pencil skirt.
A soft, flowy, loose wasited top.
Tight, thick, stretchy jeans.
A huge and colorful scarf.
The skirt brand is Eloquii.
The t-shirt brand is Neri Skye.
The twist top brand is Kiyonna.
The scarf brand is Printed Village.
Here are the responses I input on their website for feedback:
Keira Bootcut Jeans:
Comments:
The size was fine for the most part. The thighs had a bit of rippling when I sit. Otherwise, were comfortable standing, sitting, and bending. The length was good. The color was good. The fabric (a heavy yet stretchy material) was perfect. I liked that the front pockets were real. Though they were a bit small for pockets, but I'm happy they had any!
Mary Skirt:
Comments:
I don't have many pencil skirts because I have been weird about showing off my butt and hips in the workplace. But I realize that I look nice in them and that others wear them and still look nice and professional. So I am glad this is an item that was sent. I like the heavy stretchy material. The hidden zipper at the bottom to adjust the back slit is an interesting and unique idea.
Kiyonna Knit Jersey Twist Top:
Comments:
I hate this color. Anything remotely orange or yellow is right out. This could probably be called Brick Red, but it is too much orange for me. The fit was fine. The fabric is nice and soft. But it was too much $ for all that it was. I actually have this same brand of top, same style (but w/o sleeves) in olive that I bought at the thrift store for $5, so I might be biased.
Harper Lattice Tee:
Comments:
This shirt fit great. It was definitely my style and color. But the quality did not match the price. Also, I found it a bit sheer. So would have to wear another top underneath in order to wear to work. I liked how soft it was. But I feel like I have this same shirt already in my wardrobe.
Katy Scarf:
Comments:
I loved: The size of the scarf. How soft it was. And the geometric pattern. I hated: the orange color in this. If this had been blue/green/purple/red, I would have kept it. But I really do hate orange that much.

I would love a top to go with the pencil skirt from this box. I like ruffly blouses, geometric patterns rather than floral, and interesting details. Unusual necklines and embellishments are nice. My favorite colors are blue & green. I am not into "what's in-fashion" so much as what looks good on me, looks professional, and retains my personality. I tend to like textured clothing or very soft clothing. I'm more looking for work clothes than casual.
If anyone thinks this is interesting, please use my referral code. It gets me $20 off my next box. Not huge, but pretty nice: https://www.dia.com/r/qqe3
If this doesn't work out, I have a few other ideas from friends of my own who have had success. I have been giving these subscription services 3 tries before getting rid of them. My last one was Sephora. I will post about that another time!
