Gwynnie Bee April 2016 Review + Free Month Coupon

I am always excited to see my Gwynnie Bee box in the mail. It has been a great way for me to keep my work wardrobe interesting.  There are so many dress options!

Gwynnie Bee is a clothing rental subscription service. My body shape makes me a perfect candidate, as they specialize in sizes 10-32, and I am a 14-16.  When I started I added about 25 items to my closet (it’s a lot like creating a Netflix queue back when DVD subscriptions were their main business model, except there is no specific order) and they sent me the first three that were available. They recently added a feature that lets you prioritize items, so I have some control over which items are more likely to show up. Then, when I return items they send more!

I really like that I have a lot of control – I pick the specific items that are in my closet.  I can go outside my comfort zone if I feel like it, or I can stay well within it. Overall, I put several items that would be a stretch for me in my closet, but also put plenty of items I think I will like so that any given shipment is likely to have something in it that I will wear.  

Karen Kane Embellished Cuff Dress

This one got worn several times before being returned.  I wanted a 1X, but they only had 2X and 0X.  The 2X showed up first.  It was a little big, but nothing a belt couldn’t fix.  The 0X showed up a week or so later, but I ended up returning it because the 2X was the better option.  This dress was great – soft jersey, super comfortable.  The sleeves were nubbly.  I kept running my hands up and down them.

  London Times Fit and Flare Dress in Black and Blue (14W)

Oh, how I wish this came in a size down.  I want it to come back to me in a few months.  But it is already a smidge roomy (nothing too bad, but if I lose any more inches, definitely too big.  The fabric is substantial but not too heavy. A nice texture to give it some depth.  Perfect for work.

Spruce and Sage Peacock Colorblock Peplum Ponte Dress (2X)

This is a great dress, but alas, the 2X was too big.  The first pic is me pinching it back a bit, the other two are letting it hang naturally.  Again, not huge, but I like things a little more fitted.  This one was a heavier fabric with good stretch (not that I needed it).

Triste Meta Check Fit and Flare Dress (1X)

For some reason, I really like this one.  The fabric was just a simple stretchy blend, but I really like how the pattern reads.  It also looks cute with a black cardigan (you’ll have to trust me – I forgot to get a picture).  I wish it came with a belt, but I have my trusty black stretch belt that seems to fix all problems.

This batch of Gwynnie Bee came just in time for a work trip and had lots of good, packable options!  I am going to go check out the size of what’s in my closet and take advantage of borrowing clothes while I keep losing weight (well, inches)!
