ModCloth Stylish Surprise Grab Bags

[skylite]

I got mine today! These combat boots literally make me swoon! Look! They're fuzzy with faux fur on the inside. It's so soft! And look at the neat, wooden style soles! But best of all, and I swear I am not making this up, THEY HAVE SECRET POCKETS. I couldn't find them on Modcloth. But I did find them on lulus, advertised at $50. And here's their description (which I just love): "If scouting out cute shoes is your hobby, then set your fashionable sights on the "Bobby"! Woven herringbone fabric makes the Mixx Shuz Bobby Black Herringbone Combat Boots extra special along the 7.5" shaft, with black vegan leather trimming the rounded toe, heel, and lace-up panel. Bonus features include a secretive zipper pocket along the outstep, an 8" side zipper along the instep, and a soft fuzzy lining in grey faux fur. 1" rubber heel. Lightly cushioned insole. Non-skid rubber sole. Available in whole and half sizes. Measurements are for a size 6. All vegan friendly, man made materials. Imported."  I think I'm in love.  As for the dress I got, I'll upload that separately.  

Lucky!! Those are amazing!! Congrats

I want to buy more.  One girl got THREE PEACOATS.  I want one in black.  Should not order more!  Should not should not should not!

I like everything else, but this first one.

Everyone else's stuffis so much better! But they refunded one of mine because the seams were off... The only price I can find for my green strapless dress is $25 so I am thinking about asking about that too. But I have NEVER seen a dress for $25 on Modcloth.

OMG!!! I got my 2 accessories and 1 apparel today and WOW!!  I love everything other than the dress I got is just a bit tight and can not zip all the way. 

 I love it too that is what makes it suck. But I got the lace dress, neon orange satchel (LOVE IT) and heart earrings!!  Pics to come soon.  Gotta figure out how to upload  lol

It came!!!!!! I got 3 dresses, one adorable one that fits(just barely) by lxia???, another one by sunny girl, great dress doesn't fit but I'm gonna keep it since I'm losing weight. A third by mystic, strapless pink polka dot peplum, pm me if interested its a m. Didn't care for it and too small. Got a pair of tights, and a fjall raven cross body bag. Shoes were a great pink pair of oxfords by yoki, a pair of adorable preppy flats by Kelsi dagger, and a eh pair of peep toe wedges by Vince camuto. Not familiar w any of these brands. Is any of y'all familiar w them?

This is the dress I received. It's pretty. But it somehow manages to combine all of my least favorite aspects of dresses (from the color to the length to the fabric). So definitely not for me.

I am about 8000% sure this is a bridesmaid's dress. But's it's simple enough that it could be worn elsewhere.



I tried pairing it with a belt to help things, but this dress is just never going to look right on me. The waist just goes down too far for me.



Guess it's off to the trade forums with this one. I couldn't find the exact dress on modcloth or the brand's (Donna Morgan) website, but similar dresses are priced at about $200. Too bad it's not for me.

Just got my box! I'm a little sad that only 1 of the 3 things worked for me, but maybe I'll find something on the trade threads!

The dress really is cute & I would love it if it fit! (I kind of wish it was a little longer too). The top half is really pretty on though. I ordered a medium & the tag says size 9, but there is no way that's a normal nine. I'm normally a size 6 in dresses & I couldn't zip this up all the way! Too bad. It is cute.

I'm totally bummed about the shoes. They are by Yoki & they are literally the cheapest feeling/looking shoes I've ever seen. The soles are made out of foam. FOAM!! You know, like the foam sandals you get when you get a pedicure? These wouldn't last one day on my feet running errands. The color is a neon royal blue which is super fun, but I can't get over the fact that they are foam shoes. Ha ha ha. But they do fit well.

The necklace I got made my whole box worth it! It's beyond perfect for me. Half my wardrobe is that mint color! I will wear this all the time! I am in love!!!! So overall, a decent box. Darn that dress! The more I stare at it the more convinced I am that I'm going to keep it & alter it to fit me! I think I will add some lace around the bottom to make it longer. Hmmmmm. Decisions!

A lot of the items on modcloth can be found elsewhere if you know the brand name, and most other sites are cheaper.  But they don't have free shipping AND returns, so if you're not sure of your size you may be out of luck.  I've seen the same item on different sites for $10-30 cheaper than modcloth.

I got some yoki shoes as well, same type of foam looking sole, those seem to be very popular right now. I however love my shoes even w the sole mine r Hot pink oxfords w tassels on the laces and a teal colored sole. Not sure how much they may retail for.

I can't wait to get mine. I ordered 1 apparel and 1 shoe. The weight is 4.6lbs. I'm thinking a coat and boots?? Anyone else have a similar weight?

 

[Antidentite]

So I just opened my box...Pretty sure I win the award for the most "unique" shoes.  pictures coming soon.

Yeah I'm 4.5 with 1 apparel and 1 shoe.  Also got two accessories- so accessories could be heavy or it could be a jacket and boots.  I really wouldn't mind a jacket and boots!  With the neverending winter in Chicago I think I would get plenty of use out of a new jacket!  Even this year!

My weight was 4.2 lb and I got a blue bridesmaid dress (short) and a nice pair of combat boots. Hope that give you a ballpark idea!

 

[Carcolery]

Thanks, I'll just have to be patient and see. I'm really hoping for a coat!

Ah!  This is super helpful.  I wonder what's in my box!  I would be happy with a pair of boots like yours and a tunic or something!

SO CUTE.  And the most recent Sam Edelman boots.  Sam Edelman boots are SO EXPENSIVE and those are SO PRETTY.  I have a pair of Sam Edelman's and love them.  I'm glad I'm not the only one stalking IG!

Mine came today!! Kinda bummed that I got 2 pieces of jewelry for accessories but they were only $5 so not complaining!!

At first I hated the dress, also reminded me of a bridesmaid dress, but it actually fits pretty well. I do have a few weddings to go to this summer!

It has pockets! Had to stand on a stool since we have zero full length mirrors in my house!

 

[Imberis]

I got my items: a coat and a dress. And they really do weigh enough for the 5.9 pounds the package says.

The coat. I LOVE the coat. It's this one http://www.polyvore.com/jessica_simpson_woman_double-breasted_tulip-hem/thing?id=96288807 at the top of the page. In person it is way, way more cream/borderline oatmeal colored. It is completely and totally outrageous and I love it. The collar is enormous!

The dress I got, though? Oh dear. It's... yeah. I was super excited when I saw it in the package because I thought it was an awesome giant sweater. It's not. It's a dress. A sweater-print dress. I can't get the photo thing to work right now, but it's black, grey, and white fair isle style print with hearts. The dress has pockets and it makes my butt look just enormous in a bad, bad way. It's huge under the arms and you would need to be extremely chesty to totally fill out the top.

Edit: Here's the print of the dress:
