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.

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. 
that's an adorable coat!!!

I'm, like, 90% sure I own the pink dress you got in blue! It bought it from ModCloth a few years ago. It's very cute! It's a tad small on the bust on me now though.

That ice cream dress is SO adorable! It's definitely kitschy though.

The fit is actually really nice too! I also love that it came with a belt and is really good quality...but I think I am out of the age range to pull it off..haha.

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.
I posted my surprises too soon and completely missed your post! I got that same tribal sweater!! I gave it away. I have more of an hourglass figure and the sweater looked gross on me. I don't need added thickness thankyouverymuch! lol. I ended up giving mine to my mother who loves it. Hopefully your sweater will find a home too! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

So I just noticed that the dress I received had belt loops but no belt, and the picture on modcloth's site shows and lists it with a removable belt (http://www.modcloth.com/shop/dresses/anywhere-in-the-whirl-dress). Do y'all think I should bother contacting them over it?

They have awesome customer service, so I'd recommend it!

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!

That second dress is gorgeous! Who is it by? I think I may need to track one down for myself.

It's by Minuet! It's a teeny tiny bit small on me, but I'm hoping that will give me motivation to lose these last few pounds before summer lol. I MUST be able to wear this dress!

I contacted them through live chat and they were super apologetic for the missing belt and offered me a code for 10% off and free shipping off my next order. Like I needed another reason to buy more stuff from them haha. Take my money, modcloth, take it!

I got my two Stylish Surprises yesterday. Both are black dresses, and I like them both, but I'm not really sure where I will wear either of them.

I haven't found the second yet, but I'm still working on it.

Thank you! And that's definitely a great motivator dress!

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.  

 
I LOVE LOVE LOVE that coat!!! You definitely scored. I have 2 SS apparel arriving Monday and now I'm going to be dreaming of that coat, haha. Do you know how much your box weighed? The tracking says mine weighs 4lbs.

I definitely lean more towards an hourglass figure myself, and yeah... that sweater just isn't for us.

My mother was a fan of it, too! It doesn't fit her, but I do have a friend that is willing to take it off my hands.

Congrats on your coat! I was really hoping for one, but I'm glad I got what I did.

Hey, by the way ladies: I think we should can give a practice run to adding other clothes to the swap thread that aren't from the styslish surprise.

I say trial run just in case it turns out to be a disaster. But I feel as though the basic rules would be:

• items must be new with tags
• if there's something unique about it (oddly cut) disclose that
• good pictures

obviously these are basic rules everyone has been following already so I don't think it will be too big of a deal.

As always, shoot me a PM if you have any questions!
