AFFORDABLE STYLE BOX | NADINE WEST REVIEW

& Leave a Comment


Hi there! Happy Monday!

Have you ever wondered how a clothing subscription box works? Nadine West offers an affordable style subscription service.

I have shared my outfits from Nadine West for well over a year now on my blog (read the posts here). Nadine West sent me this box for my consideration for review but I was not paid to write this post and as always all opinions are my own.

What is Nadine West?

NadineWest.com is a company that sends you an outfit to try on and you keep only what you love. The outfit is a surprise, but you take a style quiz and the stylists get to know your style more each month. The outfits are affordable with pieces costing about $10-$30 each, which is very affordable compared to other similar services.

How Does Nadine West Work? 

On the Nadine West website, you take the style quiz so that the stylist can get to know what you are looking for in an outfit. You will receive a pink package in the mail with your personalized outfit. Try on the outfit and keep what you love and send back what you don’t.

My Thoughts On Nadine West 

The style quiz was super easy to do, which was great because I wanted something that didn’t take too much time but I was still able to make notes to make sure the stylist knew my preferences. I really loved the surprise aspect of this, and it was like opening up a girly gift from a really stylish friend. I cannot stand having to return things, it is such a bummer, but I LOVE the way this company does it because your outfit comes with return shipping.

Nadine West Unboxing

This was a month where I did receive quite a few pieces that I didn’t like, but thankfully Nadine West has a good return process and policy. I am picky about jewelry, I really only like delicate pieces and stud earrings. I also like solid, neutral colors. I only got three pieces that I chose to keep, but they’re GREAT pieces. I am in love with the navy blouse that I got, it has three fabric colored buttons in the front and a white tie at the neck. I love this because for work events or meetings I like to dress “Snappy Casual” as we said in my sorority days, or smart casual as it’s more commonly known to the masses. I also received a pair of wide leg culotte pants that have a ruched high waist that is really flattering, and of course I would be amiss if I didn’t rave about the fact that THEY HAVE POCKETS! They hit me right at the widest part of my calf, and because of this I think they look best with a heel. I like these because they’re another great neutral I can dress up or down. The third item is an extremely fitted gray shirt, and it’s the type of shirt that is almost too tight, but for some reason this one is stretchy enough that it’s comfortable and I think it’ll be wonderful this fall and winter under cardigans and sweaters when I really want to layer up.

Nadine West Final Thoughts

I love getting my Nadine West box each month! Most months I get a few things that I love, but I do wish that there was a simple form to update style preferences or check-in each month to see what I’d like to find in my box. I hope that I will continue to get neutral pieces that fit my style and delicate jewelry that works with my sense of style. I would love to see some simple, neutral-colored maxi dresses for spring, too. I would rather receive two or three nicer items than a lot of pieces that aren’t as nice of quality.

NADINE WEST UNBOXING |AFFORDABLE STYLE SUBSCRIPTION

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I hope that you’re feeling excited and ready for a fresh, new week! I went to a concert over the weekend with one of my dearest friends and it has me feeling so positive as I start a new week.  I have shared my outfits from Nadine West before on my blog (read the posts here). Nadine West sent me this box for my consideration for review but I was not paid to write this post and as always all opinions are my own.

What Did I Get?

I received a pink short sleeve shirt with shoulder cutouts, a creme floral top with puffy sleeve details, a red and white striped blazer with red roses, a red floral teeshirt, a blue floral strapless dress, a gray pencil skirt, black and white plaid pants, a navy and gold necklace, and gold dangly earrings.

 

What Did I Like? What Missed the Mark?

This month I got one piece that I am OVER THE MOON IN LOVE WITH! I could have gotten just this piece and I would have been happy! It’s a lightweight drape open-front black and white striped blazer with red roses on it. If you read this blog often, you know that I wear mostly neutral colors and the patterns I prefer are the standbys like stripes, dots, and leopard, but the pop of red from the roses is just enough on the neutral colored blazer! It’s super cute for work, date night, or a cocktail with the girls! I also like the pink short sleeve but wish it didn’t have the shoulder cutouts. The creme floral top is so stunning! I am not crazy about the floral pattern, but the fit of the shirt and the puffy sleeve detail is so perfect. I do not care for the red floral top on my skin tone. I also don’t like the plaid pants because while plaid pants are so in this year, I wish they were a more traditional trouser style instead of a legging/pant mix. The dress is very cute, but floral isn’t my thing. The skirt is a great basic.

Final Thoughts

I love getting my Nadine West box each month! Most months I get a few things that I love, but I do wish that there was a simple form to update style preferences or check-in each month to see what I’d like to find in my box.

NADINE WEST REVIEW | AFFORDABLE CLOTHING SUBSCRIPTION BOX

Hi there! Happy Wednesday!

I hope that you are having a wonderful week so far : )  I have shared my outfits from Nadine West before on my blog (read the posts here) I have been wearing some items from my last several boxes a lot lately, so I was so excited to receive a new box in the mail from them. Nadine West sent me this box for my consideration for review but I was not paid to write this post and as always all opinions are my own.

What Did I Get?

This month I received a turquoise tunic length t-shirt, a navy floral shirt, black cropped jeggings, chevron floral shorts, a pair of gold hoop earrings, gold bangle bracelets, and a silver and gold antler necklace.

Did I Keep It?

Unfortunately, overall this box really wasn’t my style. The turquoise shirt is a really pretty color, and I’ll probably like it next spring and summer especially over leggings on comfy days, the navy floral shirt is definitely something I’ll wear, but it’s SUPER fitted and I probably will not reach for it as much because of that. The black jegging crops will look nice with loose fitting tops as the weather cools down, but they aren’t something I would have picked myself. The chevron floral shorts are SO cute, my daughter loves them, and they’re very comfortable but they’re a much busier pattern then I gravitate to. The highlight of this box was absolutely the jewelry! I love the gold earrings and unique hoops are very on trend for fall 2018 style. The gold bangles are heavy, and I have so many similar, but they aren’t bad. I LOVE the antler necklace! It reminds the Disney Nerd in me of Gaston so I love them even more. I kept it and plan to pass on the items I don’t love to friends who I think will look amazing in them!

Final Thoughts

I love getting my Nadine West box each month! Each month I get a few things that I love, but I do wish that there was a simple form to update style preferences or check-in each month to see what I’d like to find in my box. I was on a fantastic streak the past couple of boxes, so I was a bit bummed to not see some great neutral basics for fall, but I still enjoy checking out the box each month.

What Did I Get?

This month I received a pair of gold dangling earrings, an aqua wrap style bracelet with magnetic closure, a teardrop necklace with a blue stone, a  black striped wrap dress, a sheer floral shirt, a gray and white light sweater, and a pair of olive shorts.

My Outfits

Did I Keep It?

I kept everything, and loved almost all of it! The earrings aren’t my style, I am such a studs girl, but I will be able to pass these on to a friend who I think will enjoy them. The aqua wrap bracelet isn’t something I would have picked, but I actually love it on! The bracelet has beautiful details, like the tassels, that makes it a lot of fun to wear. The necklace is GORGEOUS! I got a very similar one, almost identical except it was turquoise and didn’t have the bar detail, that I received in a previous Nadine West box that I wear all the time. The white dress with black stripes is super cute and comfortable, and I am excited to wear it, but it’s a little more lowcut than what I usually prefer. The sheer floral shirt surprised me because I didn’t think I would like it, but I do think it is pretty. The gray and white sweater is a great basic that is very much my style and I am sure I will wear it a lot in the evenings when it is chilly and this coming fall and winter. The olive shorts are so comfortable, not too short, and very much my style. I am overall very happy with this months box.

Final Thoughts

I love getting my Nadine West box each month! Each month I get a few things that I love, but I do wish that there was a simple form to update style preferences or check-in each month to see what I’d like to find in my box. I have been liking my boxes more and more lately, which I am pleased with.

My Outfits

This month I received a lot of clothing pieces and accessories. I got a pair of black cropped leggings with side pockets to fit an iPhone, a navy floral henley style top, a gold bracelet, a clay-colored off the shoulder top, an orange floral babydoll tank that reminds me of a Hawaiian luau, a turquoise necklace, and a pair of cat-eye tortoise sunglasses.

 

 

 

Did I Keep It?

I love the cropped length leggings, mostly because the side pockets fit my cell phone perfectly which is great when I want to wear leggings for walks with the kids and I wore them just this past weekend when I took my seven-year-old to a trampoline park. They do have mesh panels which is great when it is hot, but I will say that they aren’t a compression legging, so they might not be the best when you need super hold-in-place gear, but they are great for comfort activewear that looks great. The navy floral henley style shirt is really comfortable, and I like that way it looks on. The gold bracelet doesn’t seem that exciting, but I really loved the way it looked on and in pictures. I don’t care for the fit or color of the clay-colored top. The orange floral babydoll style tunic tank is a really fun color on, but the fit of the shirt isn’t a style that I love which is a bummer because I love wearing orange. My favorite things this month were far and away the turquoise T necklace and the cat-eye sunglasses! I received compliments on the necklace immediately, and I love how it dresses up a plain tee shirt. The sunglasses are comfortable on, and great for when I just want a pair of lightweight plastic frames.

Final Thoughts

I love getting my Nadine West box each month! Each month I get a few things that I love, but I do wish that there was a simple form to update style preferences or check-in each month to see what I’d like to find in my box.

My Outfit

This month I received a black sweater, a faux fur infinity scarf, a choker necklace, a pair of earrings, and a pair of blue jegging style pants that I ended up returning due to size.

Did I Keep It?

This was the first Nadine West box where I did *not* keep everything I received. I ended up returning the pants because they did not fit me. Returning items to Nadine West is very easy to do, and I did ask if exchanges were possible and it seems that they are often out of stock of the items after they send them out, but  it doesn’t hurt to ask : ) I love the faux fur scarf, it was a style I had been admiring on others, and I have worn it many times since opening my box. I also wore the sweater immediately, and I have gotten a lot of compliments on it. The choker is the one item I am a bit on the fence with, I like choker style necklaces but this isn’t my favorite. I actually love the black, but I may end up removing the circle charm. I was surprised when I saw how long the earrings were, especially because I tend to be a studs girl, but I absolutely LOVE the way they look on!
