ModCloth Stylish Surprise Grab Bags

[Bizgirlva]

Stylish surprise is live again! The apartment is sold out though. Man they go so fast.

I had such good luck with the last one I ordered two of each, shoes, dresses and apparel. Anything I didn't like was easily traded or sold on ebay for what I paid for it or more.

Good luck!

Got my package in!  I was hoping to get something to wear to a celebratory event, not that you ever know, but it's fun to see. I'm pretty happy with my surprise. It's not something I would have picked for myself, but I do like it. It's a bit bigger than I like, but part of that is dress style. I ordered a L, but it doesn't say what size it is on the dress. I either got the dress for around 50% off, or if it was on sale, then probably around the same price.

My box just arrived. I need to tear into it. I ordered 2 dresses, 2 appeal and 2 shoes.

Here are my items:

Apparel items were two shirts:

First items I saw was this lovely teal color, it's the Lakeside Lodgings tunic in seaglass: http://www.modcloth.com/shop/blouses/lakeside-lodgings-tunic-in-seaglass





I love this top and I'm wearing it to work today. The only downside is this shirt wrinkles so easily and needs to be ironed. But the color!

Next was a black item, I'm always excited about a black item because I know I'll wear it. I got: http://www.modcloth.com/shop/basic-tops/breezy-basics-top-in-black

Nothing fancy but I'll get tons of use out of it. It's a great stretchy material it's almost long enough to wear over leggings and it's super comfortable with a slight folded sleeve. A total win for me.



I'm on the fence about my dresses, both fit and are unique and very pretty, but I just don't think I'll ever wear them.

This dress also is missing the eye of the hook and eye closure on the back. I'm debating about contacting ModCloth about it.

The bottom of this dress is totally swishy and so fun. I wish the top had a bit more coverage. I would wear a cardigan with it if I decide to keep it.

My second dress is: http://www.modcloth.com/shop/dresses/made-to-embroider-dress

This dress is super light weight, it has pockets too. It's a great summer dress but it's hard to make a tied or gathered waist dress work on my short torso. And my boyfriend joked "where are your braids and beers" when I showed it too him. 



My shoes were a hit and a miss.

My first shoes were wedges when I pulled them out they looked small. Wedges usually look small though but when I turned them over I discovered they're a size 9. I ordered a size 10. Bummer! I can't find a link for these on the modcloth site but here is a picture:



I live chatted with ModCloth and they refunded me the money for the shoes and told me to keep them, I gave them to a friend who's birthday is next week. A bit of a bummer for me, but I probably wouldn't have worn the wedges if they came in my size.

I can't find my second pair of shoes on modcloth either. They're a flat sandal with a beige ankle strap and a gold strap over the base of the toes. They're from Bamboo brand, they're a simple summer sandals. I don't normally love ankle straps but these work for me. I wore them to work today as well. I'll update if I find a picture.

Over all I'm pretty happy with this lot even though the shoes were the wrong size and the dresses are not a huge win for me. I'm still pretty happy overall. I've def had my share of misses on the stylish surprises. 

What did you guys get?
