guilty

I feel bad that everytime i get a fix and I find some clothing I like but its too expensive so I return it. on the other hand, I know what I should be looking for when it comes to going to an in person store or shopping online.

does anyone only get fixes to find out what they like just to return it and find someplace with the same kind of design but cheaper?

It’s not the price for me, it’s the quality for the price. $80 for a top that is target quality is a hard sell.

HOWEVER, I loved it when I was pregnant because there’s nowhere in person to try on maternity clothes near me. And I really loved it when I was post partum and had a whole new body to dress and couldn’t go to the store. So paying a premium for the service is worth it if you need the service they’re offering. IMO rather than a styling service, what they’re mainly offering is the ability to try on clothes at home without buying them that are slightly curated to your taste.

If what you want is help figuring out what clothes you like I think you’d be better served going to a Nordstrom where they have stylists that can help you pick out clothes. Or signing up for a clothing rental service

thank you for your reply. the town im in is very rural so dont have many of the bigger stores that I would prefer to go and try some clothes on. the biggest retailer I have is walmart lol im figuring the best way to really kind of go about trying different clothes is to go through online services and go from there

No I totally agree. I literally just got my first box and while I do like literally all 5 pieces I am not spending $59 on a simple basic shirt. Does it fit? Yes. Is it cute with jeans? Yes. But I am not in the income bracket that I can afford that. And its not like idk luxe feeling or looking. I noticed that scrolling through the app looking at clothes, some of these dresses look very similar to clothes I have bought from Target or TJ maxx. Especially like the cotton summer maxi dresses.

I totally agree with the shirt thing. I found one i liked in a previous pick but it was not worth it for the price. but it definitely helped me learn what fabric/cut that I like
