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 that 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 October 2020 Review
This review is for each of the three-at-a-time items I received on October 1st, 2020:
1 of 6
Leota Field Floral Cheetah Tie Mindy Dress Size 2L — Retail Value $168.00
I have reviewed quite a few Leota pieces over the years, so once I saw this floral dress with cheetah print details-- I had to give it a go. Leota dresses are generally figure-hugging cuts and are made of stretchy fabric that doesn't wrinkle. Their pieces are great to take on trips and easily translate from work at the office to a night out on the town. This one says spring to me moreso due to the lilac shade, the floral print, and the sleeveless style. It was an exceptionally warm day, so I was able to style this dress simply with some white studded, pointy toe mules, and my Wherelight Lola cat eyeglasses. This would be a piece you could wear out to a farmer's market (masked up) with your favorite light denim jacket or cardigan and sneakers well into cooler fall days.

Leota Watercolor Stripe Aria Midi Dress, Size 3x — Retail Value $168.00
The second piece I received was yet another sleeveless Leota dress (which has prompted me to update my priority listings for Gwynnie Bee for more seasonal appropriate pieces). This dress is certainly better for summer due to the print, the stretchy mesh overlay fabric, and the sleeveless cut. One could style it with tights, booties, and a cardigan I am sure – but the watercolor print just gives me summer vibes all the way! I love the mock turtleneck style on this one – you can't go wrong! I opted to style this dress with my faux leather biker jacket, another pair of Wherelight glasses (the Sasha style this time), and white pointy toe ankle boots for some rocker chic.

Anne Klein Printed Red Drawstring Midi Dress, Size 3x — Retail Value $92.00
I had been eyeballing this Anne Klein dress for months, so I was extremely excited to see it in this month's selections. This is the third sleeveless piece I received this go around, but I can envision getting more wear from this particular piece. The red and white pattern reminds me of the 80s, minus the shoulder pads and puff sleeves of that era. I only styled this dress with white booties, but this would look great with a bulky sweater layered over top in the winter or a black turtleneck underneath with tights and booties. If I were still reporting to my office job (I now work from home for both of my jobs), this would be in my rotation for business casual pieces, for sure!
Verdict: Gwynnie Bee, I love you, but I have a few grievances I must address. Recently, I have noticed more out of season items being sent my way, but also that the turn around on boxes is later than usual. I assume this is due to the pandemic and possibly being short-staffed. I will cut you some slack on that – we are going through such a difficult time! This all being said, Gwynnie Bee still delivers great quality pieces. My favorite of the three this month was the red Anne Klein dress, but I enjoyed every item selected for me in October.
If you're looking for deals, did you know that you can go through the Outlet on Gwynnie Bee? I often peruse the outlet section because you can get dresses for as low as $5! I also love that Gwynnie Bee often has sales on at home pieces and has a rewards program that you can apply credits to as well. I am always seeking out a great deal, but especially during the pandemic!
The October selections were adorable, but I am eager to see what I get in my November Gwynnie Bee box, aren't you?
To Wrap Up:

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 $428, which is 4.5x my monthly subscription fee. Not too shabby! However, imagine the even greater value had I sent these pieces back sooner and received additional pieces!
