Looking for the perfect clothing subscription box for YOU? I'm sharing my experiences with 6 of them……the good, the bad, and the prices!

Looking for the perfect Clothing Subscription Box? Lifestyle blogger Lipgloss & Crayons shares her favorites and who needs each box!

Am I the only one who is obsessed with clothing subscription box services? I didn't actually realize how many of them I'd tried until I started putting this post together.  Something about the idea of getting great new clothing and accessory options without leaving the house? Is pretty much the greatest thing ever.  Each of these services works slightly differently, so I'm giving specifics on focus and pricing…….that way you can pick the clothing subscription box that is best for you!

The Ultimate Clothing Subscription Box Guide

Looking for a great grey sweater? Lifestyle blogger Lipgloss & Crayons shares her favorite from Stitch Fix and why she loves this clothing subscription box!

(sweater via stitch fix)

Stitch Fix (5 items, $20 styling fee):  You guys know I love Stitch Fix, they're a great service that gives wonderful exposure to brands you wouldn't necessary see in a department store.  This personalized styling service that sends five pieces to your doorstep at a frequency you set (and for a price point you specify).  You try all five items, keep and pay for what you like, and return the rest in a prepaid shipping envelope.  You pay a $20 styling fee, but that fee is applicable to the price of any item you keep.  Stitch Fix is available for women, men, plus size, and maternity.  You are able to receive clothing, shoes and accessories. Customers can communicate with their stylists by filling out an extensive survey or connecting their Pinterest boards to their Stitch Fix accounts.  But the new thing they've added? Daily facebook quizzes.  If you add your Facebook account to your Stitch Fix Profile, you'll be sent daily quizzes and surveys where you note your favorite clothing items.

Trunk Club: This blue dress is perfect for spring weddings!

Trunk Club: Trunk Club is a recent discovery, and I'm a total fan.  Trunk Club is owned by Nordstrom, and carries a TON of stock that is also available at the store.  For a small fee ($25 a Trunk or FREE if you have a Nordstrom card)…..you are connected with a personal stylist that you build a relationship with.  You set the frequency for your Trunks (I do once a month).  Trunks can contain up to 15 items with a variety of options for clothing, accessories or shoes.  Trunk Club services both men and women.   Your Trunk will arrive with tape and a prepaid shipping label.  You send the items you don't keep BACK in the same trunk, and can arrange for UPS pick up from your house.  This is the ONLY service I've tried where I get to have conversations with my stylist.  We chat (using the messaging service on Trunk Club's website or via email) and I can even preview my Trunk before she sends it.  I have the ability to ask for other color options, say I don't like something or mention if I already own it.

Trunk Club: This bell sleeve sweater is the perfect transitional piece from this clothing subscription box!(dress via Golden Tote)

Golden Tote: Golden Tote is a combination of selection and surprise.  On the first Monday of every month, Totes go on sale.  A Mini Tote ($59) contains 2 clothing items, one you choose and one surprise. A Golden Tote ($149) contains 5 clothing items, two you choose and three surprises. A Surprise Tote ($89) contains 3 clothing items, all a surprise.  The surprise items are selected by stylists, and based on the extensive survey you fill out when you join.  Each month Golden Tote releases a newly designed tote bag to carry their items, and they're ALWAYS adorable.

Looking for a great orange dress? Lifestyle blogger Lipgloss & Crayons shares this Rent the Runway find and why she loves this clothing subscription box and rental service!

(dress via Rent the Runway)

Rent the Runway: When I think Rent the Runway, I think formal dresses.  I've used their formal dress rental service TONS of times as a wedding guest and even for red carpet events.  But did you know they also have everyday clothes? About a year ago, Rent the Runway launched a revolutionary clothing rental service.  You know those really fun clothing items that you buy, wear a couple times, and then never wear again? This solves that issue.  For a monthly fee, you can book high end clothing items to reserve for a short or longer period of time depending on your membership level.  The basic RTR Reserve 
starts at $30 per rental and you can keep items for 4-8 days.  For RTR Update, you pay $89 per month and receive 4 items of your choice, shipping included.  But RTR Unlimited? You can select, return and swap an unlimited amount of items per month ($159 per month) with shipping included.  Not bad if you'd like to wear some fancy clothes, or if you attend a lot of events and want to never be seen in the same items twice!

Le Tote: Don't you love this floral dress from Le Tote? Lifestyle blogger Lipgloss and Crayons shares her top spring dress pick and why she loves this clothing subscription box service!

( dress via Le Tote)

Le Tote: Le Tote is a fashion rental service, and it was a total lifesaver two summers again when I had back to back blog conferences to attend.  I was speaking at both, and couldn't wear the same outfits.  But honestly? I knew the type of things I wanted to wear were a little dressier than anything I'd get a ton of use out of at home.  Enter Le Tote.  You borrow five items at a time (plans start at $59 a month).  You can preview all items before they ship, and if you find something you LOVE? You have the option of buying it.

Looking for great workout pants? Lifestyle blogger Lipgloss & Crayons is sharing her favorites from Fabletics and why she loves this workout clothing subscription box service!(leggings via Fabletics)

Fabletics: Fabletics is a very specific clothing subscription box or service…..but if you're a workout fiend….it's right up your alley!  Fabletics makes amazing workout clothes (plus sizes too).  For $49 a month, you get to select a complete workout outfit each month.  Don't want one that month? You can go into their website and skip the month, free of charge. If you're into great workout wear, this is for you…..and I love the size range they offer!

    Your ultimate guide to clothing subscription boxes is so helpful and informative. Yes, I also tried the Stitch Fix as well as the Fabletics. My experience with these two clothing subscription boxes or services is really awesome! I will keep my subscription with them but will also try others for more amazing offers!

🚗 Road Trips……Which one are you?⠀ ⠀ Thi 🚗 Road Trips……Which one are you?⠀⠀This weekend we flew to Sacramento and then road tripped north to see my family up in the mountains.  It was so much fun to spend time together, and it reminded me….we are ALL one of these people on a toad trip.⠀⠀Bonus points to the VERY nice road trip vehicle we had…..the team at @MazdaUSA lent us a 2023 Mazda CX-50 Turbo Premium Plus and it was AMAZING (it even had a wireless charging dock for our phones). It made my snack stops even better (yup, we tried Dutch Bros for the first time and OMG we need them to expand to more Southern California locations ASAP).⠀⠀So, which are person are YOU on a road trip? ⠀⠀#familytravel #drivemazda
….and also why are we commenting negatively abou ….and also why are we commenting negatively about people’s appearances in 2023?Double also: if the worst thing people on the interwebs can say about me is that they don’t like my smile…..then I feel pretty good about what type of person I’ve chosen to be.
💕Because we all want our kids to soar………⠀⠀So fitting right? Elvis named this plane after his daughter.  And all I’ve been thinking about throughout our St Jude experience…..is how certain things truly bond all of us.  Certain things cross economic barriers and continent and language differences.  Parenthood is one of those.  It’s a universal experience.  And I think whether we are parents or role models or aunties or friends……we all know what it’s like to dream and hope on behalf of a child in your life.⠀⠀In 2012, when I was newly married and not yet a parent one of my students was diagnosed with cancer.  Without revealing details about her or her family, I think it’s important to recognize that economic barriers prevented what should have been an earlier diagnosis.  It was one of many times I was reminded during my time with the amazing humans in my classrooms that…..we do NOT all have the same access or experiences in life.  That student and her family were one of the miracle stories.  In fact, when she came back to class, she complained about missing soccer games at recess and fell right back in with the rest in a way that to this day brings joyful tears to my eyes. ⠀⠀I said this on my stories during my trip, but…..I didn’t realize until this experience that families at St Jude NEVER receive a bill.  Ever.  No matter what.  That this access gives families hope during their darkest days.⠀⠀I’m going to be teaming up with St. Jude to do a fun challenge that will hopefully inspire y’all to support them too.  Let’s just say that…..for this scared of heights, refuses to take my feet off the ground theme park girlie……I’m going to making the ultimate sacrifices.⠀⠀What rides would you want to see me go on in support of St Jude? (be kind, I’m literally TERRIFIED of any and all rides that have a height limit). You know they REALLY moved me if I’m even thinking of doing this! ⠀⠀@stjude #stjudeambassador
💕Double tap if you know what the Peabody is fam 💕Double tap if you know what the Peabody is famous for…..so many of you guessed it in stories last night!🦆The Peabody Hotel is famous for their duck parade.  And we got to see it as a part of Day 1 of the St Jude Content Creator Summit.  I’m in Memphis to learn all about how St Jude is doing life saving research to fight and cure childhood cancers.💕Real talk: I get to do a lot of fun things because of this little app but projects like this? Are an absolute honor.  Did you know that patients at St Jude NEVER RECEIVE A BILL? What a gift to families in crisis. I’m so happy to share this next couple of days here in Memphis with y’all and to support such an important organization.🦆Now, swipe to see the ducks. @stjude #stjudeambassador
She IS Ariel. We saw it. It’s a gift. This s She IS Ariel. We saw it.  It’s a gift.  This stunning movie shows a princess who is absolutely……royal.  Graceful.  Brave and……the perfect mermaid. Years ago, I was sitting in the theater during the live action Lion King premiere just days after the Little Mermaid casting was announced.  And in walked Halle Bailey.  This young girl and all I could think was……how much weight of the world was on her shoulders.  The room paused.  And people everywhere stood.  They applauded her and smiled and I thought…..she really is a princess. Halle, you are the epitome of royalty.  Thank you for sharing your shine with the world.I would love to encourage you to follow these amazing creators who have been shining themselves and sharing a ton of special Little Mermaid experiences:@jenniferborget @erikaenchanted@davidvaughn@_the_adventurous_rjay@colormemagic@melizzablackLydia’s, Robbie’s and my full review of the film will be on the blog Monday morning.How excited are you for the film? Who is your favorite Little Mermaid character? #littlemermaid #colormemermaid #ariel
