JustFab has had a monthly VIP club for years now, and I love their styles. So I was thrilled to have the opportunity to try out their brand new styling service, PS by JustFab (PS stands for Personal Stylist)!
It works like many other styling services, such as Stitch Fix, Trunk Club, and Dia & Co. You pay a styling fee and receive five pieces selected for you by your stylist. You only keep what you like and return the rest with free shipping both ways. The styling fee is deducted from any purchases you make, and if you keep everything you get 20% off the total!
FYI - It looks like JustFab is ending this styling service as of March 2018.
My Subscription Addiction paid for this box. (Check out our review process post to learn more about how we review boxes).

PS by JustFab February 2018 Review
When I signed up, I took a lengthy quiz to let my stylist know my size and style preferences. A few days later, I received this email alerting me that my stylist had chosen some items for me. I could just click the link and preview my package.
There are some styling services that allow you to preview your package and reject items you don't like before they are sent to you, but this was a first. With PS by JustFab, I could keep the choices my stylist made for me, or if I didn't like something, I could swap it with an item on my JustFab wishlist! And of course, since I am a JustFab VIP, I had tons of items on my wishlist!
This is a note from my stylist, Crystal.
This is the invoice that was sent with my package, showing the cost to keep each item. My $20 styling fee is applied to anything I keep, but if I keep everything, I get a 20% discount.
3/4 Sleeve Wrap Dress - Cost to Keep $29.95
Honestly, you can't go wrong with a wrap dress! They are pretty much universally flattering. This one is a faux wrap, which means no concerns about it randomly flying open. Hooray! It's a poly/spandex blend so it stretches in all the right places. The sleeve length is also flattering. I'm not wild about the print, but otherwise, it's great!
Chiffon Tea Dress - Cost to Keep $49.95
I think this a really pretty dress for spring! It has a full, separate, navy, poly blend slip in lieu of a lining, and the slip itself might be more flattering than the dress. The dress is chiffon with a bloused bodice. I also really like the ribbon detail at the waist!
Plaid Dress with Belt - Cost to Keep $42.95
This rayon blend dress actually looks better in this picture than when I tried it on. How is that possible? The belt is completely separate, so it could be placed lower or higher on the waist as needed. This particular fabric blend is a lot more wrinkle resistant than most of the dresses I've tried from JustFab, so I definitely like that. I guess I have mixed feelings about this dress!
Off Shoulder Tee - Cost to Keep $16.95
This knit top is inexpensive and a pretty color. I wore it sort of like a scoop neck instead of off the shoulder, but it works both ways. If I hadn't been wearing these pants, it would have looked much better.
Paperbag Chino - Cost to Keep $39.95
I definitely stepped outside my comfort zone trying these pants, and the result is not horrible, but also not great. They are a canvas blend and have zero stretch, which made them somewhat uncomfortable to me. I think they look okay but not stunning or anything. I like the tie waist and the overall idea, but these just are not a great fit.
Classic Utility Jacket - Cost to Keep $32.95
This heavy cotton jacket is so cute! The color makes it just perfect for springtime! I also really like all the pockets and buttons and details. I love it!
Strappy Open Shoulder Top - Cost to Keep $25.95
This knit top has a pretty heavy spandex content and was thus incredibly tight and body conscious. So, as you can tell from this picture, it made me super uncomfortable! I think the strappy shoulder idea is a good one in general, but just not right for my particular shoulders. This one was a miss.
Drawstring Canvas Jogger - Cost to Keep $39.95
Like the chinos above, these pants have zero stretch, and I was really uncomfortable in them. These fit a little better than the chinos, but I don't really understand the purpose of joggers that are made of a heavy non-stretch canvas material. I like my joggers soft and stretchy!
The Verdict: I am really enjoying my subscription to PS by JustFab! This month I feel like I went outside my comfort zone with several of the pieces I tried, but it did not really pay off this time. I do like the jacket and the wrap dress a lot, though! I also think that JustFab's prices are very reasonable in general.
