PS by Just Fab Review & Crochet Bomber Look

May 6, 2017

PS by Just Fab Review & Crochet Bomber LookHello, my dears!
Today I wanted to share with you my experience with a new styling service called PS by JustFab. I’ve been a member of JustFab for some time now, and love 95% of the shoes I’ve purchased from them. I’d been looking into their clothing selections for a bit, but noticed the reviews for clothing are much harder to come by than for shoes and bags. I didn’t want to take a chance on something, not knowing how their sizing runs, the quality, etc. When I saw that JustFab was now offering a styling service, I got super excited! I do love my ongoing subscription to StitchFix, but it can get a bit pricey. With JustFab’s more moderate price points, I took a chance and signed up for a box!
I filled out a detailed survey, paid a $20 styling fee, and within a couple weeks, a shipment arrived at my door. Inside was a statement necklace, a crochet bomber (pictured), an embroidered jacket, distressed jeans, and an off-the-shoulder tunic. Everything comes wrapped up, with a price list and return mailer. Starting from the top, the statement necklace definitely caught my eye. It’s three layers, and definitely eye-catching and unlike anything I currently owned. The crochet bomber seemed a touch baggy but I loved the color and the texture. The embroidered jacket was OK, but other than with a white or black top and jeans, I couldn’t think of anything else to pair it with. The jeans were WAY too tight, didn’t have any stretch, and I couldn’t get them up past the middle of my thighs. Lastly, the tunic was very baggy around the hips but super snug around the chest, which rarely happens to me, so the sizing on this one was very off.
I decided to keep just the necklace, because nothing else I was completely over the moon about. I sent the other items back a couple days later, and was actually looking forward to my next shipment. I checked out online, but when I looked at my receipt, it said my total was $41.50, odd, because the necklace was only $19.95 plus tax.
I reached out to the customer service department at PS by JustFab to voice my concern about the mis-charge on my account. She informed me that because the item I kept wasn’t over $20, that I was also being charged a $20 styling fee. We went back and forth about the fine print not saying $20 pre-tax, but she was not helpful at all and refused to get a manager for me to speak with. Basically, my only option was to keep another item from my box, to not be charged a separate styling fee. I guess this was sort of a blessing in disguise, because I realized how much I loved this crochet bomber jacket!
To wrap it up, due to the lack of stellar customer service, I probably won’t be using the PS by JustFab styling service again, but I’m open to purchasing solo pieces from the website. And I can’t seem to get enough of their shoes!
I’d love to know.. What are your subscription services? Do they end up sending you just the things you never knew you needed or do they not get your sense of style at all? Which ones have you tried?

Elevated Basics with Ellie & Adair

April 29, 2017

Elevated Basics with Ellie & AdairHello, loves!
I know I have very much been slacking on getting posts up, but I was deep in sickness (bronchitis/sinus infection) for almost 3 weeks this month, and I’ve had little to no energy to do anything beyond robotic functions until this week. Thankfully, I’m feeling at about 95% and ready to get back in to the swing of things!
OK, so when I first heard the term “elevated basics” I kind of scoffed at it. Like, basics are just that, meant to be paired with more interesting and vibrant items. I’ve come to a realization that they’re actually just what my closet was missing. Most of these pieces are simple enough to be able to pick a top and a bottom and just tie them together with the accessories. My definition of an elevated basic is something that is at first glance quite simple, like this t-shirt, but then it has added details to make it a bit special. The subtle broken grey stripes add interest but aren’t distracting, regardless of what I pair it with. The gathering at the bottom gives that “tucked-in” vibe, but is much more flattering and even covers a bit of a tummy bump. I’m just now starting to work on my “summer body” (Vanderpump Rules shoutout), so this top paired with some black skinnies is great for camouflaging a little tummy.
Black jeans are classic and pretty much go with everything, but I’ve cuffed them up a but to show off my shoes. I consider these sandals elevated basics too, because they’re a simple shape and color, but have added gunmetal studs. I paired all of those pieces with some super sparkly layered necklaces and a simple black bag with gold hardware, and the look is complete! I would wear this outfit almost anywhere, from running errands during the day, to a casual date night or brunch with my girls.
I would also wear this shirt with a denim skirt, white capris, even with my black work pants. It’s super versatile! This and other cute, super affordable elevated basics are available on Ellie & Adair’s website. This top, believe it or not, is under $25, and they’re offering a 15% discount on top of their already crazy low prices to all of my readers with code “VIP15”! Go check them out 😀

Moody Florals with Mint Julep Boutique

March 31, 2017

Moody Florals with Mint Julep Boutique Hello, loves!
Today, I’ve partnered with an awesome online store called Mint Julep Boutique to share one of their gorgeous floral maxi dresses! They have SO many cute maxis on the site right now, it was difficult to choose, and I already want more of them in my closet! This one is called Peaceful Paradise, which I think is quite apt for a dress this pretty. One thing I will say, is that I found the background of the dress to be black, not navy, as stated on their website. I could be imagining things, but my photographer and boyfriend agreed with me! I wore it with a light denim jacket to ward off the chill that’s been hitting us recently when the evening rolls around. For accessories, I paired my new espadrille wedges (hello, 90’s shoutout!), a stack of glimmering gold bangles and my favorite crystal necklace.
I’m also loving the look of the Garden Stroll, the Visions in Bloom, the Living Fantasies, the Beauty Abounds, and the Happy to Bloom maxis. Like I said, they have SO many cute options to choose from right now! Be sure to sign up for their emails, so you can get $10 off your first purchase! The dresses are already very reasonably priced, so this is just the cherry on top. Keep scrolling to see the full look, I hope you enjoy it!

Crisscross Florals with I Shop Simply

March 21, 2017

Crisscross Florals with I Shop SimplyHello, my loves!
It is so freaking beautiful outside today, and I’ve got all of the sliders and windows open, letting the subtle breeze roll in. I asked for just a little bit more warm weather and it seems that my wish has been granted! All the better for me to continue rocking these gorgeous floral tops and dresses that I’ve been living in for the past month.
I’m one of those people who could wear floral prints year-round, but there’s just something that feels extra special and feminine about wearing them in spring. Today being the first day of this flower-filled season, it seemed even more appropriate to share this fun and casual outfit. The top is from I Shop Simply, one of my favorite online boutiques. Their philosophy is something I can totally get behind.. Curating the most adorable, yet unfussy items and offering them up for crazygood deals. This top is only $25! I’ve purchased several other basics from them, as well as some of-the-moment pieces, and I’ve found the quality to be on-par with things I’ve paid 3x as much for!
I Shop Simply has been so great to offer all of my subscribers and followers 15% off when using the code “dressedfortime” at checkout! That’s even more savings on these lovely tops, dresses, basics, and bottoms. I’ve currently got my eye on the Summer top and the Rhonda’s Roses dress. Both are perfect for wearing through spring and summer. Happy shopping!
