I've been lurking this thread for the past couple of days and couldn't resist signing on and posting my haul. I was surprised to find a HUGE box at my doorstep (see pic below - I used my shoe for scale).
I bought 3 shoe items and 2 apparel items which was estimated to be about 11 lbs. The boots are Naughty Monkey, Rocket Dog, Chinese Laundry. The dresses are TCEC and Geode. I love the boots (though I was really hoping for a pair of cute Chelsea Crew heels), so that's a total win, but the dresses are…hmmm…how should I put it? My husband said that "those dresses were made to look good for no one nowhere." I tried to make them work by accessorizing, but eventually I gave in and agreed. At least the geode dress (A-line pastel dress) could get some use as a princess costume for Halloween one year or to play dress up with my little nieces. I wonder since they gave me awesome shoe stylish surprises if they tried to even it out by sending me horrible dresses. In the end I couldn't resist and bought more, so I'm waiting for an additional 3 apparel items. Hoping that I get a coat or a feminine A-line 50s style skirt/dress.

you can only ship up to 13 oz for First Class, so you most probably have to ship Standard Post/Parcel Select/Priority Mail (which are all MORE expensive than First Class) for clothes and shoes. for shirts and dresses, First Class might work if you just put it in a mailing pouch.. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

@gapme5 Can you girls please tell me where can I look for the items that I got... I can't find them online...
It can be a challenge sometimes. What I do is just do a simple google search with the designer name, type of clothing item, and maybe a brief description of the item.
So for one of my stylish surprises I searched for an online image/price and Modcloth listing by typing "Plenty by Tracy Reese pink and black floral dress Modcloth" and hit search.
To get even better results with visuals, go to google images. When/if you see the item that matches your description click on the image and on the right should be links from the original hosting site. When you click on those links you may get more information about the item, like pricing if it was from an online store.
Hope this helps! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Share if you find them!!
Edit: Because I'm a stickler for spelling.

I think its lucky to score boots and jackets and sandals ! But dresses and heels is too risky, Im still not sure if Modcloth is for me. I havent made up my mind yet .But Im subscribed to this post out of curiosity since Im already a Mystery bag customer for makeup .
For gals that love shoes and purses, youll like LBB, LIttle Black Bag. they have pages and pages of designer and you get to choose your first item and they give you one or two mystery items After checkout and after paying you go to a trade session where offers pop up if you dont like your mystery selections, You get a chance to trade your items before they ship. So at the final checkout you walk away happy. They have a VIP system (optional) where you can accumulate 10 dollars a month credit. they charge ten dollars a month from your account and put it back in to your LBB account, so your ten dollars is there instead and if youre tight on money its a way to save 10 dollars each moth for a later shopping spree cause you can let them accumulate. Just a idea for fellow MUTers

Yeah I just asked for what I paid $14, I'm eating the shipping cost to mail out, but I'm only shipping one light weight dress so it'll likely only cost a few bucks. NBD. You might want to add a few dollars to cover postage if both parties are willing.

Both of those dresses are ADORABLE and I love those boots too!
Aren't they!? They are so perfect for spring! I ordered one "S" and one "M" but somehow both dresses were a size 4. I just wish the bust wasn't so tight in them and both with a side zipper. :/ I'm usually a size 4-6. But this was a long winter. lol. I need to be vigilant with my workouts to make them feel more comfortable.
I always seem to luck out with these deals!
Although as long as I get *any* dress I'm usually pretty content. Dresses are my absolute weakness and I'm typically not too picky with styles.
My second order's status is "Out for Delivery" and weighs 4.1lbs....for only 2 clothing items.

Oh No! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> What terrible luck! That jacket and shoes are so cringe worthy. I'm not a fan of flannel or most plaid. At all. And those shoes wouldn't be so bad without the blue laces and purple satin.
I really hope your second package has much better things!!

I love plaid, but I hatehatehate jean jackets. I don't really look jeans themselves, but the awful comes out in non jean form. I guess it's all a matter of opinion.

Mine came in! I'm having not the best time trying to find some of these dresses. Like one is "Peaches N Cream" and all I can find are kids clothes! Did they seriously sell a kids dress on there and give it off to us small girls? I'm hoping not. I've found one so far...
http://www.lilyboutique.com/shop/dresses/string-of-pearls-tulle-designer-dress-in-cream/
It was one of my fears...something that I literally cannot wear at all, even if it was tacky! I'm at the in-between age where I'm not going to any dances anymore and I'm certainly not getting married anytime soon! :/ The Peaches N' Cream is polka-dotted mustard with a wide teal stripe at the bottom! Yup, pretty awful. I kinda like one, still trying to find it somewhere...Pictures to come soon!

I joined this site just to post my SS /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Been lurking for awhile. I ordered two apparel in L and got two dresses which are nice but nothing I could wear...the first one is by Max and Cleo, size 10, and the tag says Natalia I found it here on ModCloth:http://www.modcloth.com/shop/dresses/symphonic-streams-dress
and the second one I can't find anywhere. Its size L but looks like it would easily fit a M.

My final item came, and ugh! I mean, I feel like someone could potentially make it work, but it material is thick & it swallows me up. Not cute.
I guess I can be done. But not for me! So I'm a loser this stylish surprise round.

AHHHHHHH! That shirt is beautiful.
I'm sorry your SS didn't work out for you this time. I hope you have better luck next time!

Who is the designer of the dress? I'm squinting to read the label, but can't quite make it out! TIA!
