Even though we are in the dead of winter (although where I live, you would never really know considering “cold” is in the 60’s), I thought it would be best to get a head start on revamping my Spring wardrobe. I requested some clothing subscription boxes as I love having someone pick out outfits for me, rather than me go to the stores and wander aimlessly or buy individual pieces that when I get home, don’t match anything I have or stay hanging in my closet with the tags still on.
Trendsend is one of my favorite clothing subscription boxes, mainly because they carry brands that I am familiar with and they have been pretty much spot on each time. Usually it may take a box or two before the stylist really gets your style down pat. Trendsend was a bit different.

So, here’s my haul. Tell me what you think I should keep and which should be shipped back (returns are free!).
First I tried on the Chaser Cross Front Mini Dress in sapphire. It fit rather well, wasn’t too form fitting which I like and the bell sleeves gave it a bit of flair. I would pair this with high boots and tights.
Next, I grabbed this French Connection Polly Plains Raw Edge Tank in a gorgeous shade of orange. I have been loving orange lately. It fit well, wasn’t form fitting and I liked the different fabric weights (sheer on the bottom portion).
I paired the tank with the Level 99 Relaxed Cargos. They were a nice shade of grey and looked awesome with the tank! A great alternative to denim, these were comfortable and fit very well. Love them!
I always fall in love with white tops, so this one by Peyton Jensen was no different. The Geneva layers top is super soft and just the right length. It looks as though I layered two tops, but instead this is cleverly lined. The sleeves are a bit long, but I like them that way! You can never have too many white shirts (or black for that matter…).
Plaid has slowly become one of my favorite trends these past two seasons or so. This Peyton Jensen Sweet Tango plaid button down was very cheerful and bright…and soft…but I have two plaid button downs already. Hmmmm…but it is reallllly soft. I paired it with the white top and cargos and it really made for a super cute outfit. Add a pair of Converse and I’m good to go!
In theory this next necklace is so awesome. It was even noted to be a best seller, and I could totally see why. When you see the antique multi-strand pearl necklace, you automatically envision it with a black sheath dress or white t-shirt and jeans. BUT for some really odd reason, and I am totally blaming the user (me), I could NOT get it to lay nicely on my neck. I tried really hard too because I so wanted it.
So, what do you think? Interested in trying out Trendsend? There is a $20 non-refundable styling fee (newly added) but you can subtract the $20 from your purchase.
Which pieces should I keep?
Leslie Soto says
How can you choose between all that? I love it all and it looks fabulous on you! Another box subscription to add to my wishlist 😉
Sarah @ Foxy's Domestic Side says
Oh I’ve never heard of this one. Such great things! I think I might have to add this to my list too!
Dana says
Sarah, it is one of my favorites 🙂 I would recommend checking it out!
Jaimie says
What did you keep? Love the dress (but I think the sleeves would annoy me because they would be too long on me), white top, cargos and plaid…how are the prices?
Dana says
Hi Jaimie!! I kept the white top and the orange top. The prices are good…mid range, a bit more expensive in some cases than Stitch Fix, but not always. Have you tried Trendsend yet? (Is your husband going to hate me?! LOLOL)
Carleigh Bodrug says
LOVE the plaid button up and the mini dress. This is such a fantastic idea for people who don’t like to shop. Thanks for the tip.
Dana says
You’re welcome Carleigh!
Greta says
Love the plaid button-up and the orange top! You look gorgeous in that color!
Dana says
Aww thanks Greta!
Mistle says
I’ve never tried Trensend yet. I only do Stitch Fix and love it so far. I love the plaid shirt you received!
Dana says
Mistle, I definitely recommend Trendsend if you’ve already tried Stitch Fix.
Becky @ Disney in your Day says
I would keep the orange tank and the plaid! They both look great!
Dana says
Thanks Becky! The plaid shirt is so super soft!
Shann Eva says
You got some great stuff! My favorite is the orange tank top…super cute. I also love the pants and the plaid shirt. I think I probably would have kept everything but the necklace.
Dana says
Thanks Shann! That orange tank top was definitely a keeper 🙂 and it was on sale!!
Riya says
i love the orange tank to! totally drool worthy! I will have to give them a try!
Dana says
Riya, good luck and I can’t wait to hear what you get!
Alissia Haggard says
This looks awesome! Love the clothes they picked for you!
Dana says
Thanks Alissia – I think they did a GREAT job picking out the clothes too! (My husband isn’t too happy about it….LOL)
zan says
I never heard of them before – and they seem to have some cool stuff. I too, have a problem of purchasing things in store only to find out that they do not match with anything I have at home. So what should you keep? Everything else but the dress. I do not hate it, but those sleeves?! Not sure!! I do love that you were going to pair it with high boots and tights, though!
Dana says
I love your honesty Zan!! I sent back the dress but definitely kept the orange tank and white shirt!!!
Autumn says
These outfits are very cute- I especially love the necklace!
Dana says
Thanks – the necklace was beautiful. I just couldn’t get it to lay properly on my neck 🙁
