Wantable Accessories Collection Review: April 2015

It's that time again - time for the Wantable Accessories Collection! This was a solid collection. Not my favorite, but not bad, either. There wasn't a great deal of variety, but I do tend to like necklaces more than anything so that makes sense. 

I received three necklaces this month, along with a pair of earrings. When I first opened the earrings, I was concerned because I don't usually like hoops and I didn't include them on my survey. However, these aren't hoops, but dangling circles. I really like these because they're delicate while also being stylish and unique.

Wantable Accessories Collection: March 2015 #2

So Wantable did such an amazing job handling the issue I had with my last accessories collection that I decided to order a second one. I have to say that two of these items may be some of my favorites yet and the others are also very nice! I really am so impressed by Wantable Accessories time and time again (I haven't had as much luck with Intimates, but that's okay). 

My first item was a light pink scarf with blue and it's such a nice spring scarf. It may be a bit too pastel for me, but Wantable has been great about pushing me just to the edge of my comfort zone for styles only to make me realize how much I end up loving the item after all! I feel like that may be the case with this scarf, so we shall see!

Wantable Accessories Review: March 2015 (#1)

As we have made clear, we are big fans of Wantable here at Outside the Box. We have found they do an exceptional job of matching items and even when the items don't work, they are responsive and make the process of returning easy.

For me, another sign of a company's ethics and value is how they handle mistakes. Although I am sad to report that I had a pretty major issue with my collection this month, I can also say that I rarely see customer service this prompt and helpful - and that makes me even more enthusiastic about Wantable.

I was SO excited when I opened this box, because at the top was a sealed card containing a personalized note, and I was very impressed by that. In addition, I could see the list of items on my card before I opened them and I saw that a watch was included! I have been hoping for a watch, so I even said to my husband that I finally got a watch.

Before we get to the watch, let's go through the rest of the box. I did keep this box with the one exception I will address momentarily, but my least favorite item that I kept was this bracelet. It's a bit too big for me. I'm really picky, though, because my other Wantable bracelet was too small/delicate, so finding a balance is a challenge. I like everything else about this bracelet, though, especially the way it clasps, but I just wish it was about half the size.

Wantable Review (Accessories and Intimates): February Collections

Crafty and I got a little out of control with Wantable this month, so since I already reviewed several other collections from Wantable this month, we have a joint review of Accessories and Intimates. I swore I wouldn't order another Accessories collection, but clearly I did, so each have a review of both.

Crafty couldn't help herself after seeing my accessories collection, so she decided to sign up and try it herself. Happily, she wasn't disappointed! She says, "this box was pretty much made for me," which is exactly why Wantable is so great. Chances are, the products you receive will be perfectly selected.

Wantable Accessories Review: February 2015 #2

I really like Wantable and I've been so happy with their collections that every time I get one, I am tempted to order another right away! I am going to wait to get a March one rather than ordering a third February collection, though.

For my preferences, I try to change them a bit for each order, since I don't want to get sunglasses more than a couple times a year or too many hair accessories. I am basically always happy with jewelry and scarves, and my boxes are heavily necklace-based, because I love long necklaces.

Wantable Accessories Review: February 2015

How does Wantable do it?! I'm a really picky shopper, especially when it comes to "girly" things like makeup and jewelry and clothes. I also tend not to like the things a lot of other people like, so I find myself struggling to find things. This is my second Accessories collection from Wantable and I really cannot believe how spot on they've been both times!

The first item was a pair of sunglasses. Although I usually wear prescription glasses, I included sunglasses on this survey because I was open to a pair. These are cute and definitely my style, even if I won't wear them much.

Wantable Accessories Review: January 2015

Let's be up front here: I am not a fashion diva. I don't care at all about fashion and beauty and accessories. I would much rather spend my money on video games and action figures than jewelry. My favorite outfit is my zombie slippers complete with loose eyeballs, fleece pajama pants, and a giant T-shirt that could easily pass as a nightshirt. When I have to be presentable, I'm all about comfort and simplicity. I don't think I've ever owned a pair of heels (although I love shoes - just ones that keep my feet on the ground).

So I wanted to try Wantable, and I considered Intimates. However, I spend too much money on socks and pjs and don't have much room left for anymore. Besides, Crafty wanted to try them, so I thought I would try something else. I actually do really like jewelry, but again, I'm really not interested in most of what's trendy or what I see in magazines - it's just not my style and feels like too much work. I say this because I admit I went into this process wary. I filled out my form, but I just didn't think I anyone could find four items I would like. I've seen so many unboxings and I don't like any of the items I have seen. Because Wantable is supposedly customized, though, and you can return your items if you hate them, I figured it was worth experimenting at least.

The box came and I said to my husband, "My stylist was Joey. Let's see how this goes." Well, once I went through the box, I was a convert and my husband commented, "Looks like Joey knows his or her stuff." I agree. Joey has me pegged, so hats off to Wantable. These are easily items I would pick out if I was in a store.
