Gwynnie Bee is a clothing rental subscription service that formerly catered to plus sizes only, but is now far more inclusive offering sizes 0-32! Gwynnie Bee allows you to select items you like which are put in a virtual closet. The chosen items in your virtual closet are sent to you at random, but you can select priority pieces to be sent to you first. Since I started using the service, I can say I always have a lot of fun with this box!
Gwynnie Bee also has a marketplace on their site where you can buy steeply discounted used rental pieces and brand new accessories, underwear, and workout gear as well!

Gwynnie Bee September 2020 Review
This review is for each of the three-at-a-time items I received September 1st, 2020:
1 of 8
Green Stanton Dress by Hutch, Size 2x — Retail Value $71.50, Purchased-At-Home 50% off Sale Price $35.50
Oh, how I miss spinning platters with my friends at record events, mixers, and bars. Upon receiving this dress, I immediately imagined how I would style it if I were able to go DJ with my friends again. I love the retro vibe of this moss green, baby pink, white, and black striped dress. I am getting some serious Marcia Brady vibes. I appreciate the cut on this dress though, which is a bit avant-garde with a more structured handkerchief-style hem detail. The dress has loads of stretch with a roomy cut at the bottom. I could see wearing this in cooler months with black tights and a turtleneck underneath. Since it is still fairly warm out in my neck of the woods, I opted to pair this dress with my "Tunes Tote" from Shop Sweet Tooth (I actually used this tote to carry records the last time I DJ'd... Cue the TEARS!), pink metallic loafers from Ebay, and baby pink retro sunglasses!

Flutter Sleeve Floral Dress by Veronica M, Size 2x — Retail Value $59.50
Your girl loves a bell sleeve and this dress is no exception! This dress also gives me late '60s/'70s vibes like the first, but moodier and a little more sultry. I was feeling myself in this number, that's for sure! The warm amber, mustard yellow, and peach shades against the white and black in this floral print are perfect for fall. I also appreciate that the fabric has ample stretch; this piece truly hugs all my swerves and curves. I styled this simply with black platform sandals, but this would look phenomenal with black tights, ankle booties, large brimmed hat, and a shawl for those chillier fall evenings.

Color Block Sweater by Andree by Unit, Size 2x — Retail Value $42.50
Finally, we have this adorable, cozy, pastel sweater dress. I own quite a few sweater dresses otherwise I may have bought this piece, too. The beauty of a sweater dress is you look put together, but you're also comfortable and warm. The fabric of this dress is not too thin or too thick making it ideal to be worn as-is on warmer fall days or layered with a jacket and leggings or tights in colder months. I paired this cutie with some abstract flower earrings from Etsy seller PBUNDJ, some rosey-pink cat-eye glasses, and studded mules to enhance and not overwhelm the soft look of this dress. I love a good pattern clash, so I can envision this being styled with a leopard print faux fur coat, black tights, and off-white booties in chillier months. For a more subdued, yet chic winter weather look, style with a black coat, fleece-lined tights, and boots.
Verdict: Gwynnie Bee, my love for you is strong! This month was filled with such fun pieces! I must admit that it was hard to return any of the pieces, but I am so excited to give the striped Hutch dress a new home! I still can't believe I got it at such a fantastic price to boot! I love being able to rent items – it allows me to try trends I may not have been open to otherwise. I also love buying items from Gwynnie Bee due to their awesome perks and rewards program. I got this particular dress for half-off with Gwynnie Bee's At Home Items sale. This is one of many dresses I have purchased on sale, using my points, or via their outlet store – I am here for a good deal!
Speaking of loving a good deal, this makes me think of how much I miss going to malls. Even though my area has been in the green for months, I still have been avoiding going to the mall and I greatly miss being able to peruse a clearance rack with my mom or my girlfriends. For now, though, any shopping I do is online, so instead of getting my mom's opinion on a dress in person, I get it on video chat. I am glad to have a slice of the old normal with Gwynnie Bee being delivered safely and right to my door.
The September selections were fantastic, but I am eager to see what I get in my October Gwynnie Bee box, aren't you?

Value Breakdown: Gwynnie Bee’s costs range depending on your subscription and how many items you are sent at a time. I have the $95 three-item-at-a-time plan. This includes free shipping and returns. I can get as many pieces as I like monthly, as long as I return each item first. I got three items this month. The three items total up to $137.50, which is $42.50 more than my monthly subscription fee. Not too shabby! However, imagine the even greater value had I sent these pieces back sooner and received additional pieces!
