Interested in the Universal Standard Mystery Box? This is an AMAZING way to start building a classic capsule wardrobe at a killer price!

One of my biggest priorities right now is to invest in pieces for my wardrobe that are timeless and high quality.  Staple pieces that can be worn season after season and mixed and matched a million different ways.  And one of the brands I've been eyeing? Universal Standard.  I'd heard nothing but the best things, and the pieces I'd seen online? Looked perfect as staple, investment pieces.

What is Universal Standard? They're the “world's most inclusive fashion brand”.  They make every single one of their pieces in sizes 00-40 AND they have a fit liberty policy.  The policy? If your size shifts up or down within the first year, you can swap any item you buy for the correct size for free.

When Universal Standard reached out to me, I was more than a little excited.  They'd been on my must try list…..and they had some pretty great news.  As of TODAY, they've brought back the Universal Standard Mystery Box (I got a chance to review this last year and am so excited to be doing it again this year)!  If you've been wanting to try Universal Standard OR you're already a Universal Standard super fan……THIS IS THE BEST DEAL OF THE YEAR.

Want to try Universal Standard? The Emily Cupro Maxi Dress is AMAZING, a great lightweight black sundress!

I got to try my own Universal Standard Mystery Box early so that I could give my full thoughts but, I'm ordering a second box today.  Since I get to fill out a full survey and give info about what items I already have (more on this below)…..I know I'll get new items instead of the same ones again.

What Is The Universal Standard Mystery Box? 

This is the BEST way to get Universal Standard pieces for an AMAZING prize.  With each box, you get 3 items (curated especially for you).  The lowest price box starts at a $68 price point (and will contain 3 basic t-shirts) or for a full outfit prices start at $104. And the DISCOUNT on these bundles is AMAZING!  Last year, I got the luxe box and man, did I love the items I received! I also ordered an athleisure box on my own and have worn the bike shorts from mine ALL year long.

If you're a first timer to Universal Standard Mystery boxes, I'd suggest either a luxe box or a midlevel classic box for a great intro to the brand.

While you won't know what's in the box until it arrives……it's guaranteed to be filled with best sellers (and this year there are even brand new exclusive items that mystery box shoppers will be the first to see).

How Long Does This Deal Last? This year's Universal Standard Mystery Box deal lasts from February 16th to February 24th (and these usually sell out FAST).  If you're interested, I'd suggest ordering NOW (this is a limited time promotion and a great way to get foundation pieces).

How It Works:

When you order your box (or two or three boxes), you'll get an email confirming.  You'll get another once it ships!

There are no returns, and a maximum of three boxes per person.

What I Got In My Universal Standard Mystery Box:

Now, the fun part.  What I got in MY Universal Standard Mystery Box.  Honestly? The minute I opened my box and tried on the three pieces? I emailed the team at Universal Standard and told them how blown away I was.  High quality pieces that fit like a dream.  And they feel like staple items I'll be able to use for YEARS.

Ready to try Universal Standard? The Geneva dress is a PERFECT staple piece!

Geneva Dress in Berry (size XS): Not going to lie, when I pulled this dress out of the box, I wasn't sold at ALL.  It looked drapey, and like it wouldn't be flattering on my pear shaped body.  This? A reminder that you should try things on and reserve judgement until you see them on your body.  I LOVE THIS DRESS.   The color, the fabric, the cut.  It can easily be dressed up or down, and would be PERFECT for traveling (when we can do that again)….it's one of the most versatile pieces you can add to your wardrobe!

Kelsey Denim Jacket in Black (size XS): While I already owned a denim jacket, I didn't own a black one, so this jean jacket ended up being a perfect addition to my wardrobe.  It has the perfect amount of stretch and…..I mean, of course it's one of those classic pieces I'll wear a million times.

Emily Cupro Maxi Dress in Black (size XS): THIS DRESS IS A DREAM and is definitely my favorite item I received.  Unlike the Geneva, when I pulled out of the box, I swooned.  The soft fabric, the pretty cut.  Standby, because I have another blog post coming with about a million ways to style it.  It is, the perfect comfy spring and summer dress.

☀️ Cheers to: summer vibes with friends that a ☀️ Cheers to: summer vibes with friends that are easy

🥤right? My absolute ideal summer date with a friend involves a cool drink and a lazy afternoon.

❓Now the question…..what’s the best summer drink? Swipe to the end for mine (ha, IYKYK)
❓ Are you an introvert or an extrovert? Pretty ❓ Are you an introvert or an extrovert?

Pretty sure these photos display which I am 🤣

In all seriousness, these are some of the photos I took while I was at the Mom 2 Conference up in LA, the first larger group event I’ve been to in years. I was reminded how I THRIVE in a community setting (there’s your answer by the way). So my homework? For me self care looks like: plans with humans outside my family. A few times a week. Because it fills my cup.

Not gonna lie, I almost skipped this. It’s been a busy couple of weeks, but last night…..Lydia and I had a mommy and me date at Legoland on the agenda. Spoiler, it was the most fun we’ve had in a LONG time and….note to self, book more dates with my mini-me. Let’s be honest…..time moves faster and faster and….she’s going to be OVER these mommy and me moments in the blink of an eye.⠀
⠀
🏁About last night: we got to participate in a preview of the new LEGO® Ferrari Build & Race attraction at @legolandcalifornia and I have to say……Lydia is already asking to go back.⠀
⠀
🏎What is it?⠀
- this adorable attraction has three separate areas: a place where you’ll get to see a ton of cool Ferrari gear and info AND a Ferrari F40 model built completely out of LEGO bricks, a building area for making your own car and testing it on multiple race tracks, and then an area that SCANS YOUR CAR and allows you to digitally race other builders)⠀
- honestly? This was just as fun for me as it was for Lydia, and the teacher in me is required to tell you…..this is a perfect example of STEM / STEAM being a part of play. She built a car, tested it, then adjusted so it would move faster…..and I loved it!⠀
⠀
Highly recommend a visit!⠀
⠀
🗓Do you do regular one on one plans with your kid? Suggestions? I think we’re going to book one thing a week from here on out!⠀
