ModCloth Stylish Surprise Grab Bags

Absolutely adore both of these! ♥ The bottom one is so ridiculously pretty. It's navy blue with that cream lace material on top. If it was warmer, I'd be wearing it right now!

Just got my first box (it was 8 lbs) qupid boots size 10, meh. Coffeehouse coat XL, ABSOLUTLY LOVE!!! Can anyone ID these?

 

[snowingwhite]

allistra, those dresses are beautiful.  Lucky you!

I just received my other box just now and this is what came.  They are all smalls.  The camouflage top is like a jacket shirt and feels very comfortable, but I just don't know about camouflage for myself.  I think it's a little too trendy for my age.  The green skirt is great and fits perfectly, so it *might* be a keeper, but I don't LOVE it.  The dress feels like a dream (so silky smooth), but is too big for me.  I might not love these enough to keep them.  I'll have to think about it.

Unfortunately I missed out on the Stylish Surprise this time around, but I am loving that camo top! If you don't want it and would be willing to sell it, I would definitely take it off of your hands.

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!

Thanks, there's always next time. I generally have good luck with these things too. Haha not this time. It's up for swap if you're interested.

 

[lissa3243]

Fouled again lol. I got my medium box. Just not my style at all. I'm so jealous of literally everyone else

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. 
Thank you sooo much for your help now I found all my stylish surprises...

I would love to. Unfortunately, I don't think I have anything to swap in return. I made the mistake of sizing up, just in case, and got mediums. Aw well. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[Sadejane]

The two things that are wearable (above) . . .Folter dress (cute, but the cotton looks/feels thin and cheap) and Moon Collection mint top (my favorite thing in the box)



I'm so jealous of all the cute things people got.  Mine was just delivered and most of my things were not only cheap, but really ugly.  2 out of the four apparel items were *hideous*.  The boots I received aren't terribly ugly, but they are cheap looking and smell so bad.  I was hopefully I would get at least one quality item, but . . . nope!  I understand that's the risk I'm taking and it was fun to go through the box, but I don't think I'll do this again.  The three worst things:  Pierre Dumas boots, Fun 2 Fun blouse, and Marra Mazzella for Modcloth "Make the Cut"

 

[kawaiisquawks]

Just got mine! I think the dress is pretty but it's not something I would wear (all black, all the time for me haha) so I'm probably going to give it to my little cousin. I love 3 of the 4 pairs of shoes I got so I'm happy! Not a big fan of the carpet style booties but oh well.

 

[Radiotoast]

Longtime lurker, first time poster here! I got 2 clothing items this time around, a small and a medium as I am between sizes. The medium came first and I got a yellow Jessica Simpson dress that retailed for $128! (If you've been stalking Instagram like I have another girl got this one as well.) It is a 6, and bit big but I'm thinking it might work with the right belt. I just opened the small one and of course it is too small! haha It's lovely though, a chocolate colored cotton trench jacket. I wish it fit! Hopefully I will be able to trade with someone. Pictures to come later!

 

[curled]

Is it possible for Fedex themselves to come and drop off the items? My tracking says it was supposed to come today but USPS already came and went an hour ago without any packages. My tracking still hasn't budged from departing Ohio either so I literally have no clue what's going on. To put salt on the wound, my friend who had hers shipped out the day after mine did already got hers and we're in the same area.

Ooh those items are so cute! The shade of blue on that coat is so lovely!

Received mine today! I've been lurking in this thread all week waiting for mine to arrive, but I am not too sure what I think. I received 3 dresses 2 medium and 1 large, 1 large jean jacket and 1 size 8.5 shoes.

2 dresses fit well, though both will need backless bras to wear. I am going to have to take some clippers to a weird tassel situation on one of the dresses. The other stuff is pretty cute and I would have worn, but it doesn't fit great. The shoes are SLIGHTLY too big (and I am trying to figure out if there is a way to modify them to fit my feet since I think they are super cute!). The jacket is too large and one dress fits well except for in the bust, where I am larger than the usual. 

Here are the pics of the misses. Hopefully I'll get pics of the hits soon too. 



Jacket is a L by Thread and Supply



Shoes are 8.5 by Bamboo



Dress is a M by Tulle

 

[Carcolery]

Got mine today.....not my style the dress is a M but fits like a small and is definitely too small for my chest. The brand is YA Los Angeles. The boots are ok, but I prefer less going on (no laces). They are GC Oslo.

 

[naturalactions]

My stylish surprise finally arrived! Both dresses and the necklace do not work for me, but I love the shoes!!

 

[LindseyAlyssa]

Received my 7 Size Medium Stylish Surprises this morning! 3 were too big, but I count 6 out of 7 to be wearable. Not bad at all for ~$58 and being 5'2". None of these are articles of clothing I'd have bought for myself (save for a better fitting cable knit sweater), so I'm definitely happy that I ended up with pieces that have widened my fashion horizons. To me, the Suzi Chin dress was what made this package. I don't have a full length mirror to really capture it, so here's a link to the entire dress:

http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/suzi-chin-for-maggy-boutique-print-high-low-hemline-dress/3287781?origin=category



Rainbow Stripe Dress by Minuet ($59.99)



Flamingo Dress by Suzi Chin for Maggy Boutique ($178)



Intergalactic Gal Dress by Mustard Seed ($54.99)



Ark & Co. Fit and Flare Sequin Dress ($37?)
Too big in the waist, but I feel a black belt would solve the fit issue.



Sleeveless Top by Mystree (Unknown Price)



Mustard Cable Knit Sweater by Timing (by Riverberry Juniors) ($42)
As you can see, it's too big. I also really didn't like the color out of the box, but it's comfortable enough that it will make a nice lounge around sweater.



Wow Couture (Unknow Price)The internet has apparently repressed all memory of this sweater, as I can't even kind of find it anywhere. Because my arms are up it almost doesn't fit awfully, but it sits terrible on a feminine figure when you're standing around and it's just too big anyways. I will never wear this at any point, for any reason, so I'll probably give it away to a friend if they want it.

Ok. So my second and final package arrived today...

In my first post here I mentioned how I've always received dresses with these ModCloth deals. I had only gotten a coat and sweater once. Well, I guess I spoke too soon! lol

In my package today of two Small surprise items I got:

1.) Paddington Flare Coat



It's from "hard-to-find" German brand Blutsgeschwister. Worth at least $150-200 compared to other listings, it's not available in the US aside from ModCloth apparently.

http://www.modcloth.com/shop/coats/paddington-flare-coat?utm_source=pinterest&utm_medium=share&utm_campaign=quicklook_share

This. coat. I mean this coat is so well made! It's such a great addition to my spring wardrobe. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> It's a mustard-y yellow with a cute floral lining. And the way it flares out like a dress is everything! I'll get a lot of wears out of it. It fits just right. I was worried about it being tight in the bust like my other "S" surprises. 

2. Join the Jamboree Sweater



http://www.modcloth.com/shop/pullovers-sweaters/join-the-jamboree-sweater

The sweater is not my tastes! It's a "ModCloth exclusive"  by brand Wow Couture. It's maybe worth $30-40? I couldn't find a price. Surprisingly, over 1,200 people on the site loved it, but not me.  It does fit well, it's very thick/warm, and it's comfortable. But I've never been a real fan of that South Western/Tribal print. I could see how it may be styled with a cute pair of dark wash jeans and a pair of nude/tan suede heels or boots. It's just not for me...so I gave it to my mother who loved it immediately. We have pretty different tastes. I gravitate to more feminine/cutesy/50s-60s vintage style pieces. 

All in all, I think I did very well. I got 2 designer dresses, 1 European-imported coat, 1 sweater and a pair of camel colored booties for $50. Everything originally priced was well worth 2, maybe 3 times that.
