I received my May POPSUGAR box this week! Absolutely love the items. Also bought a sweater and dress from the lovely ladies in the GT trading group. I've already worn the sweater-a blush/cream sweater from Lumiere. It's super soft and comfy and was great for the cooler weather we've had lately. Paired it with a gray pencil skirt an a necklace that I got from work. So, those things were YAY!
And then the bad. The spoilers were released for the CFDA box that I was so excited about....and the excitement faded quickly. The contents were nowhere near as great as I thought they would be. In fact, I thought the stuff was kinda crummy. So I emailed the company...along with quite a few other folks. For once, a company listened to their customers and they are accepting returns on the box. They even attached my mailing label to the email. I'm usually not one of those super complainers, in fact I'm usually really good at seeing the bright side....but this was such a letdown I couldn't just let it slide. My box is actually still in transit but as soon as I have it, it'll be going back. Some of you out there probably thinking it's silly of me to just send it back but I totally can't see myself using a 70 dollar burlap shopping bag...
To make matters even worse, this all happened on Monday...which was supposed to be tote day. Their systems crashed and burned...so tote day was postponed. Just wasn't my day!
However! They moved tote day to today! It's my day off so I was on right away. Had a couple issues ordering but ended up splurging and getting two totes (hey, I'm sending my box back...it's justified!). I did make an error and missed the fact that the white bf jeans were back in stock and a dress I wanted also but I'm sure it'll be fine. One of my requests in my StitchFix was white jeans so hopefully it'll work out!
I also bought a couple things from a new company that I was just introduced to, Jane. They had a mystery grab bag from west plum for 15 with shipping. I also picked out a couple shirts and necklaces. I'm not out much if I don't like the stuff. Hopefully it'll be better than my ModCloth grab bag...although I did try on the beautiful coat they sent me and I can button the waist button now! By fall, maybe it'll work?!? :)
As far as work goes, my boss is gone so I'm taking over a lot of her stuff. No pressure there! Had my usual uneventful evening with just a hiccup or two with one phone call from a particularly challenging customer. Since I had the day off though I didn't have to deal with it today! Awful of me, I know. No idea how the weekend will go. Supposed to be warm and thunderstorms on Saturday, cooler again on Sunday. There are quite a few grad parties in the area. Kinda hoping for a quiet weekend to tell the truth! Fairly newb intern always creates more work.
So that's me in a nutshell! I'm wondering if my GT or StitchFix will come first. Reviews will come regardless!
