In doing some ‘research’ for my blog I came across a really cute website.
www.wendybox.com.
(Okay, let’s be real here. I was online shopping, but in this case I
think it totally qualifies as research.) The clothes they offer were
both charming and sexy, mostly because they offer quite a range of
different styles. The prices were reasonable (always a plus), but the
coolest part was that they had a program where you could earn free
clothes. Since I’m doing the blogging thing I signed up to do reviews of
their clothing and post them with photos to my blog in order to earn
points. The points can then be used to purchase clothes, and they offer
enough points for the reviews that you can actually get cool stuff with
them. My problem with most of these programs is that the incentive is
never really enough to do anything substantial with it. So I’m really
stoked about finding this, and I’m going to add it to my blog under
Wendybox Fox.
The first article of clothing I purchased from
Wendybox.com
was this jacket. Now, I normally don’t go this cutesy with my clothing,
but honestly, I just couldn’t help myself when I saw this. Sometimes I
have to let my inner girly girl out. I thought I might have a little
buyer’s remorse with this one because I wasn’t sure if I had enough
clothes to go with it. To my surprise I was able to pair this jacket
with a lot of different items.
I dressed it up a bit with a couple of different skirts and a dress. The
first skirt I chose was a maroon button over school-girl style that fit
the trim colors of the jacket perfectly. It made for a really cute
outfit that I could wear to the office or a lunch with the girls. The
black skirt with the crème-colored lace trim also worked well. I thought
it was classier and a less cutesy look than the maroon skirt and would
also be suitable for going into work, a meeting, or any occasion that
requires a little dressing up. Using it over the dress was a fabulous
idea. The dress by itself is very simple, but when put together with the
jacket it became a whole new outfit that was much more polished, yet
not overdone. When I wanted to dress down I used jeans; skinny, straight
leg, or just slightly flared all work with this style. However, the
jeans should be a light wash to keep the look cohesive. I love the jeans
with this jacket the best because it created a nice balance between the
fanciness of the jacket and the casual look of the jeans. Anytime you
can balance two opposite styles and pull it off, you usually have a
killer outfit.
So all in all I was really pleased with my first experience with
Wendybox.com.
I’m going to try out the blogging program and try on a few more
outfits. I’ll keep you posted with reviews and pictures, so be sure to
follow the Wendybox Fox for details and updates.
