I don’t know that I would characterize myself as a “busy gal”. My kids are grown… I work from home most days… and, I’m pretty sure that I’m a lazy procrastinator – it’s how I do my best work. Personal styling subscription services, like Wantable, pride themselves on getting to know each and every one of their customers through an on boarding survey and over time, especially with good feedback from customers on what they liked and disliked about items received. I’m still fairly new to Wantable – this is only my third edit from them… but they’ve decided that I’m a “busy gal” and, in my latest edit, sent items they think fit that lifestyle.

Here is the note I received from my stylist, Eleanor (stylist #3… I’ve had a different one every time):

So, here are the items that I received in my Wantable Style edit this month! Let me know what you think!

Articles of Society Mya Skinny Cannon Jeans. Price to keep: $59

Style note: A clean black pair of skinny jeans, from your new favorite brand Articles of Society, is a staple must have in your wardrobe

Status: Returned

Let’s get the turtleneck and jeans out of the way… these are basic items that I don’t need. I just bought a very nice pair of 7 for All Mankind b air Ankle Black Skinny Jeans from my Trunk Club box. Those are nicer, and I don’t need these. The turtleneck is impressively soft – very luxurious feeling! I just don’t need it. My favorite item from this month’s box is this long striped blazer from Tart. This is a stand out piece that makes me feel very special. It’s a soft, stretchy material – very comfortable to wear. This is the classic Tart brand style – I rented this other Tart Blue Striped Knit Blazer from Le Tote. This longer version of the blazer is also available to rent from Le Tote! SO… no need for me to buy here! Long blazer… I’ll be seeing you soon in my Le Tote box!

A good “busy gal” outfit. Effortless, comfortable, stylish.

Bobi Cowl Neck Thermal Top. Price to keep: $80

Style note: Coy thermal and a chic cowl neck make this fitted thermal top the perfect pairing with leggings and booties! Layer it with a utility jacket to complete the look.

Status: Returned

Kut from the Kloth Catherine Boyfriend Jeans. Price to keep: $89

Style note: The Catherine boasts a relaxed fit and a straight leg that brings the easygoing feel of a boyfriend jean wit a little feminine chic.

Status: Returned

I’m having a bit of an issue with the quality of this thermal top. It feels a little cheap… plus, it’s just not flattering on me. It draws too much attention to my middle (just in case you hadn’t noticed, I’m calling more attention now). I know I didn’t follow the styling suggestions, but I just don’t see wearing this top with leggings. I like the boyfriend jeans, but they are too big for me. I actually had to put on my husband’s belt in order for these to fit. I don’t love them enough to request a smaller size.

Do these items scream “busy gal” to you? I’m not sure…

Cupcakes and Cashmere Sanford Jacket. Price to keep: $145

Style note: A cozy Cupcakes and Cashmere jacket in a textured chevron pattern. Asymmetric zip front with side pockets.

Status: Kept

If you know me, you know that I’ve worn the same light black, quilted jacket for the past five years. And, even if you didn’t say anything, you’ve been wondering when I’d buy a new jacket. So, this was a practical decision for me. It came, I saw, I liked and I NEEDED! This jacket is special, though! It’s very soft – befitting of the Cupcakes and Cashmere brand. AND, the asymmetrical zip and tailored fit make this a very trendy piece.

I’ll be busy wearing this jacket a lot! Bye, bye little black jacket!

BB Dakota Ames Capelet Sweater. Price to keep: $48 (sale! down from $90)

Style note: Upgrade your basic turtleneck to this chic little capelet! This lightweight knit adds instant edge to a pair of skinny jeans and a bootie!

Status: Returned

This sweater is just a little too trendy for me. It’s for some other Diva… I just can’t wear this with a straight face. Superwoman would be very busy in this!

So there you have it! I will give feedback to my stylist so she can improve selections next time! Let me know what you think of this box by answering the question below!
