ModCloth Stylish Surprise Box Review – January 2016

How soon are we notified when the surprise is happening? Is it the day of? Do we know when they may have another one? I really want to be a part of this! Sounds so fun and such a great deal!

I was disappointed with my shoe surprise. They were poorly made sling back nude pumps. Not to say that someone else may not have liked them. Some might consider them a staple shoe…its just when I saw the review and saw silver Birkenstock’s as another pair that were received…It let me down! Not sure I would buy this again.

Could anyone tell me how these were shipped, UPS, FedEx, or USPS. I have yet to receive mine!

I got a beautiful Put A Ring On It Bettie Page dress, but I am too short for it! I would love to put it up for swaps, but I am on the waitlist. 🙁

Put the shoes up for swap or sale!! I have seen several pairs of birkenstocks and my fingers are crossed that I get some in mine!!

I was so tempted to do this, but my fear was that I would end up with that pink dress you’re wearing. You are simply adorable in it, and I would look like a 6ft tall 42 year old trying to play dress up. It is so not my style, and even with the cheap prices I would feel like it was such a waste of money. I’ve ordered one shirt from Modcloth, and even though I love their style, I don’t know that I’ll order again. It fits ok, but it’s tight in the arms/upper back. It wasn’t worth the money to send back and it IS wearable, so I kept it because I really like the print.

I swore I would never order a Stylish Surprise again because what I received last year was unwearable, but I was suckered in again! Lol. This time I received a super bright pair of orange pumps that were used! The soles were dirty and scuffed. They had totally been worn (not just tried on). I emailed Modcloth about it, and they gave me the $10 I spent on them as store credit. While I appreciate that, they should not have sent me used shoes to begin with. Last year they sent me a used dress that had snags and serious pilling on it. They should not be sending out used/returned times. The other item I received this time was a dainty little floral stappy high/low top. It’s cute, and I will wear it, but don’t know that it was worth the $15. While I still love Modcloth, I don’t think I will go for the Stylish Surprise again…I don’t have the good luck with it that Haley had! 🙂

I received the two most beautiful dresses ever!!! I was so happy this time around. I missed the shoe opportunity… 9 1/2 size shoes sell out super fast…. I love the sandals reviewed! I would have been so stoked. I will keep my eyes open for the next one. These boxes are wonderful!

I love love love love those shoes!! So gorgeous and my style 🙂 Great haul.

I’ve considered ordering but there’s such inconsistency with the reviews so I haven’t bien the bullet. That said, all the clothes recurved by Haley look wonderful on her! I’m not sure I could have pulled off the dress but we all have such different shapes and coloring. I may try the shoes next.

I ordered for the first time and got 3 apparel and 4 shoes. I love clothes and shoes and I feel the quality of the items I received were low. Except for a few nice brands mixed in I think most of their stuff is “fast fashion”. That being said, I only paid $10 and $15, so at that price I didn’t mind. I do not however consider it a “steal”. 3 out of 4 pairs of shoes fit. All pairs of shoes were off-brand “Payless” quality. One pair, blue flats, was too small and had a small stain which Modcloth customer service gave me a $10 store credit for. One pair, and orangey coral maryjane heel, although cheaply made I love and wore yesterday although my feet were a little sore by the end of the day. Based on this I am trying to sell the other pair I got which was similar, a brown lace up heel, and same maker but I do like them and would wear them if I cant sell. The last pair is a flat balck sandal that I do like but they are a little generic so I will try to sell. The 3 apparel items all seemed lower end also. A skirt which was too small and also not my style I will sell. A strappy red top and a strappy floral top both are cute and I am going to see if I can make work, at first glance I don’t wear red or florals but after trying on a couple times I think I can style them. Overall not bad, spent $85 and only 1 shoe and 1 apparel absolutely don’t work for me.

Great stuff Haley! Unfortunately I missed out on the shoes (it seems like they sold out super quickly) and the three apparel items I received were not worth the $15 I spent on each (i.e. thin tank tops). I’m not sure I’ll take the chance again as I could have gotten a top I love for the $50 I spent on this.

You look gorgeous!!

I got a blue bod con dress that was labeled as a large but there was no way it was actually a large. I had my size 6 mom try it in and it was also super tight on her. I knew it was a possibility I would get something that didn’t fit with mod cloth’s sizing inconsistencies.

I ordered 5 pairs of the ‘shoe surprise’, and I LOVED every pair! It was 3 pairs of sandals and 2 pairs of flats, both my go-to styles of shoes! Super happy with that!

Man, all the shoes/clothes/apparel I’ve gotten in previous Stylish Surprises hasn’t been nearly as great as what you’ve gotten. I tried selling to a consignment store and they wouldn’t take them. Maybe it’s that I get a size small so that’s why they send me junior’s items, or it’s just the luck of the draw?

We got four dresses, four apparels, and four shoes. There are five girls in this house, so we figure there’s usually something for everyone in these! We really liked the items we got. I think my favorite was this white maxi dress with big, bright tropical flowers on it. My girls like the Star Trek t-shirt the best. I miss the old prices, but these deals are still a steal. 😀

You look so lovely in that dress! You got lucky with good surprises!
