ModCloth Stylish Surprise is Available Now!

This was my first SS and I like the items I got. Mod cloth cancelled my dress which I’m happy about as that was too much of a gamble. 1 pair of shoes and 1 apparel is enough…especially seeing those repeats. 1 of my items is still on Modcloth for $45 in a different color and the other I found on sale for $35. So about $80 value for $30…not bad.

This was my first time trying Stylish Surprise, and I have mixed feelings about it. I got this dress, which is not something I would normally buy (a little more busy than my usual taste), but fits decently and I will probably wear. http://www.modcloth.com/shop/dresses/lighthearted-lecture-dress-in-blue-chevron

But my apparel item was a huge disappointment. I was hoping for a cute top or skirt that I could wear for work or dressy-ish occasions… and instead ended up with a dog patch t-shirt that is transparent, cheap looking, and doesn’t even fit. I can’t find it on the Modcloth website or anywhere else online, but I can’t imagine that it cost much more than $10. I literally would have been happier with almost anything else from their website than I am with this. 🙁 http://imgur.com/St8OC4I

I got mine today. I order 2 pairs of shoes and 2 apparels, and I love one of them and the others are just okay.

My first pair of shoes were chocolate Naughty Monkey sandals. They’re pretty busy, so I don’t know how much I’d wear them.

My second pair were nude Report Milez flats. These are more my style. http://www.6pm.com/report-milez~1

The tops were okay. I’d probably wear them but they’re not something I’d pick out for myself.

Well that was a dud. I purchased a Small Apparel and I got a t-shirt with a weird graphic on it. There is nothing stylish about this t-shirt whatsoever and I will rarely wear it. Oh well, I took a gamble and I lost. In the past I have received some good items but I will not fall for this again.

Guys. I bought two apparel items in 1X. Somehow–and I can’t believe it–but I got two coats. What. I am beyond freaking excited, and it makes up for all the other times when I got pine green satin prom dresses and neon yellow pumps. I AM SO HAPPY!!!! And, bonus for this plus-sized girl, they FIT!

Steve Madden Diagonal Alley coat in black, which just came back on the site, so what the what?? $139.99 http://www.modcloth.com/shop/coats/diagonal-alley-coat-in-black
* This is a magic coat that actually has wool content and looks fab and I am so happy.

Modcloth label light cotton lined trench coat, with bands of red, black, white, and fawn, and a red belt. I can’t find this one on the site, but it’s super cute. Doesn’t quite work on my body, and I’m not sure how often I’d wear it, so I might trade it.

Still flabbergasted that I got on-season items, it’s just so weird. Hope others did, too!

How are you finding the original modcloth item descriptions? I got a gorgeous Eliza J. fuchsia sleeveless dress and a lovely long sleeve gray top with lace sleeve trim. Would like to find original prices. I can’t believe they both fit perfectly. I went from feeling like I wasted money to now wishing I had bought more!

Here’s my Stylish surprise
1. Sway polka dot skirt. Cute, but I’m not sure if I will wear it.

And, drumroll please….
4. Bamboo Jovial glitter jelly wedges- just what I always wanted, plastic disco shoes. They also seem mismarked for size, these are way smaller than a 9. They look just like these .

I was super happy to get those cardigans!! And the dress is SUCH nice quality, comfy cotton but fully lined as well. I’m on the fence on swapping it. But I’ll probably be swapping all of the blouses and possibly the navy cardigan (just because of my furry friends) I am quite happy with the value. I did contact modcloth and got credited for the duplicate shirt. So when all is said and done my cost was $73. Good quality and I’ll wear that honey cardigan all the time!

My box arrived today. I had ordered 2 apparel, two shoes and a dress. I got a navy and white striped sailor skirt, a mustard yellow top with tiny black flowers, a cute multicolored sleeveless dress and two pairs of heels I will never wear, one with a chunky black heel and ankle strap with Black and Tan toe and an espadrille wedge with thick brown straps. Two out of five, so all and all more of a miss for me.

So jealous of those who got booties or flats.

This is my first time ordering surprise box from them I ordered one medium apparel and 1 extra large apparel and it came today and I got a shirt in each size. Is it normal to receive one thing? I thought you received a few things in the box but maybe I’m wrong

I got an excellent pair of black booties/ankle boots which I will be able to rock all fall and winter long. I found them on the website for $49.99 so they’re definitely a great deal! I’m SOO glad I got something classic and safe vs some of the funky colors and fashions mentioned below.

Got mine today. Took a gamble buying a dress, and it did not pay off for me. I got a bright green Christmas dress covered in foxes. I may wear it as a joke this Christmas. But on the bright side, I also go an apparel item and a shoe item. I got a lovely sleeveless top, and a pair of burgundy minnetonka mocs, which are still on sale for $45. For $50 (including shipping) not too bad

So i had a free three day shipping code and already got mine! I got two shoes, two shirts, and a dress.

One of the shoes is the kind of retro heel that honestly I think is ugly as sin. Then there’s a pair of quilted madden girl booties I LOVE. The one shirt is an off the shoulder red shirt, a little tight but cute. Second I think is a large poncho?? It’s gigantic and ugly black and white Polka dots. I wish they gave you the names at least so you could look it up and see what it is because I don’t know…. I assume it’s a poncho? Maybe it’s a skirt? Lol And the dress is way too bright for my style (purples, oranges and blacks together, it feels bright and old at the same time) and a size too large. :\

I might try swapping? I’ve never swapped before but I’d like to trade if only because I feel like 2/5 is low…

Has anybody got shipping confirmation emails yet? I’m getting nervous after reading about what happened last year. (Apparently there was lots of overselling due to some kind of glitch. But shoot, my size apparel surprise is STILL available so I wouldn’t think that could happen. Someone please alleviate my terror. I’m already not good at waiting… and the thought… help.

I got 1 of each apparel categories as a birthday present for myself. Nervously excited. I would love to get something out of my comfort zone but am also crossing my fingers for something practical.

Sold out size 9 shoes 🙁

I was too slow to get my size in dresses or shoes. I mostly wear skirts and dresses. I think apparel would be too risky. With my luck I would get shorts or something in yellow. I look horrid in yellow. I did see some nice things on sale so I may just order that way.

The dress one in my size wasn’t available. Soooo, I got 7 apparel ones and used my $20 off code to make it $85! I’m pretty excited to see what comes! Does anybody know if it’s possible to still get a dress in the apparel boxes???

I got some dresses, apparel, and shoes. I can’t wait to see what we get! I love that Sylish Surprises come out this time of year because we use them as part of school shopping. 🙂

Thank goodness my shoe size is a 7 and that’s pretty much never sold out right away. Got 3 pairs of shoes, 2 apparel, and 1 dress. Last time I got a pretty pair of boots and these other platforms and then a beautiful burgundy sweater cardigan. Crossing my fingers for this time!

This is my first stylish surprise. I remember reading the March 2016 review with the jacket and boots that Haley got and wishing I had heard about it sooner. I like mod cloth but never seem to pull the trigger on buying anything so this is a great way to have a fun surprise and find out if I like their stuff on me. I got one dress, two shoes and two apparel. I’m kinda hoping I get either a crazy formal or a vintage style dress.

Modcloth dresses never fit my body right for some reason – the arm holes always dig in near my underarm area. But, I got myself one apparel item and one pair of shoes this time.

A time I did Surprise Ride before this, I got two pairs of shoes but only one fit right (the other was gifted to a friend of a friend). Fingers crossed my one pair of shoes fits this time. Fun fact: autocorrect wanted to change “shoes” to “Sherpa” in the first sentence in this paragraph – what in the what? I can’t even.

No!!!!!!! They are all out of size 11 shoes!

So I went for it AGAIN with 4 shoes in a size 8.5 🙂 I checked the clearance section like someone said to in a comment and in my size everything cheaper than $20 are like super cute wedges (which are like my favorite thing ever here in san diego!) so I think I will be set *knock on wood* for at least a pair I really like or maybe higher priced ones I will learn to love? At lik1 $12.50 a pair including tax and shipping I’m excited. Last time I got the baseball Keds that were still full price! definitely a steal for something I would not have paid full price for but makes me feel awesome going to Padres games…even if they end up sucking lol.

Haley must be really lucky because everything she’s gotten has been perfect for her. Dang! I’ve tried the dresses in the past and they are simply a no go with me. The shoes I’ve done better with but I have gotten the incorrect size in my box- just like Haley’s boots. The BEST is the apartment one that sells out in a nanosecond. I got the heads up on Friday that this was ready to launch- so I was crazy all weekend checking the site a zillion times!
For me it’s the after winter box that has the best options-chances are pretty good you’ll get a nice coat or jacket.
