About a month ago I signed up for DAILYLOOK. It's a subscription service that will send you a box full of items picked out especially for you (by a personal stylist that will review various social media pages that you provide to them to get a sense of your style) every month. I've recently been doing a wardrobe overhaul and have cleared out probably half of my clothes. I've been working on the mindset that I want to be excited about what I wear every day, so why own clothes that you don't love or don't make you feel like a million bucks?
Then I thought that I do limit myself in what I wear. I do have a set style, as I'm sure most of us do, but I rarely branch out of that. So I thought trying a subscription service would be a fun way to try new things, thus the decision to try DAILYLOOK.
When I got home from work yesterday, there was a fairly large box on my doorstep. While I have been expecting a delivery from them, I was surprised at the size of the package.
When I opened the box, I was thrilled by the packaging... I am a textile nerd. I love fabrics, stationary, packaging, etc. Most of my career has been involved in packaging and shipping so I really appreciate when someone goes the extra mile. The above picture is after I fully opened the package, so you don't get to see how nice it looked before I ripped open the tissue paper and dug through the package, but how cute is the inside of this box? I LOVED it! For one thing, it is orange, which is my favorite color, and for another, it just makes you feel happy. It was like getting a present.
Above are all my goodies laid out.
This was one of my favorites in the box. A black lace dress. I didn't keep it though as it was too small.
These pants were too small and I couldn't zip them up (thus the picture from behind) and I am not confident to pull off the crop top at this point in time either, so those went back.
Cute color, cute cut. Just didn't love it though.
I apparently deleted the picture actually showing off the bracelet they sent (see just the littlest bit of it in the bottom left corner?) but I did get a picture of the cute packaging! The bracelet was probably my favorite thing that they sent. However, I didn't feel like it was worth the $69.99 they were charging for it.
All together they sent me 8 things to try. Items not pictured are a skirt, a white tank top, and a handbag.
I ended up sending everything back from this shipment due either to dislike, size, or price. When you send products back, you get a survey about why you are returning them so your stylist can adjust according to the feedback as necessary.
For some reason, when I signed up for the service, I was expecting a variety of brands of clothes and accessories and was disappointed that everything seemed to be DAILYLOOK brand. I don't know if I just misunderstood this, or if it was not clearly expressed on the website, but if you sign up, I will say that is something to be aware of.
I think I will try the service for another couple of months to see if my feedback on my returns provides better results going forward. On the initial package, I was honestly underwhelmed overall by both selection and quality, but I do think it is worth another shot.
But, I did see online this week that Hollywood Stylist Rachel Zoe will be launching a subscription service called Box of Style, starting next week. I will absolutely be checking that out, once you can sign up for it on the 9th. If you want more information on that, go here:
