Stitch Fix Competitors: Trendsend by Evereve Review

As you've seen from my last post, I've been getting into style subscription boxes lately - think boxes like Stitch Fix and its competitors like Trunk Club, Wantable, and now: Trendsend by Evereve. Here are my thoughts on what I received and the experience. 

Average Cost per Item: Trendsend is more expensive by average cost per item than my Stitch Fix, Trunk Club, or Wantable boxes were, with most items valued at $75 or higher. They have a $1 styling fee for your first box, so that's pretty good. Unlike Stitch Fix or Trunk Club there are no big referral credits to stack up, though. You can get 20% off your first box with a referral link and 20% off future boxes by referring to others, but I kind of prefer Stitch Fix and Trunk Club for a fixed dollar credit. The items are also on the pricier side. If you keep 4 or more, you get 10% off. 

Shipping: My Trendsend box came really fast, inside of one week. 

Item Selection: A key note I read was to make a "wishlist" on Evereve. I did that and about half the items I received were on my wishlist, so it really does help. That said, Evereve doesn't have a huge inventory, though it does have a *good* inventory. Blow by blow of my items to follow at the bottom of this post. 

Stylist: I selected the Atlanta store and I selected a summer "tropical" box. I don't really care if they are in Atlanta but I figured they'd understand the weather here best. Instead my box shipped from Minnesota and contained mostly winter/spring apparel. Fortunately I ended up liking a lot of it, but this was kind of weird to me. What I DID love is that they create 3 complete outfits for you and they were all nicely thought out. 

 What I got/kept: 

•  Outfit 1: 
• Michael Stars Scoopneck Jumpsuit - KEEP - This was on my wishlist and I love it! It's my holy grail jumpsuit. I'm not a jumpsuit person because I'm only 5'0 but this looked cropped and it works perfectly on me. So soft, lazy, and somehow still chic. 
• Sundry Neon Basic Hoodie - RETURN - Also a wishlist item. I wanted to keep this solely due to the color. But it had no pockets, was kind of stiff, and just not super flattering. Pretty costly too.
•  Outfit 2:
• Kut from the Kloth Reese jeans - RETURN - Eh. These were OK. Not as stretchy as I like from denim, which I largely consider to be pants prison. 
• Sanctuary Cardigan - KEEP - This was on my wishlist and I love it. It's not as soft as I hope, but it's perfect for spring. 
• Z Supply Top - KEEP - This was another "eh." I kept it because it was the same price to keep it or return it because it was my 4th item, but it's not something I would go out of my way for. 
•  Outfit 3: 
• Monrow Tie Dye Hoodie - KEEP - When I saw this in the preview I was like 'argg' because I asked for summer clothes, but it's one of the comfiest hoodies I've ever tried. With the 10% + sale price it was a good get but I can't imagine paying full retail for this. 
• Monrow Tie Dye Jogger - RETURN - For over $100 these joggers had to be life changing and they weren't. Cute. If they were ~$50 I'd have kept them. 

Would I try Trendsend again? Yes. These are some high quality items and some of my favorite pieces in my wardrobe now, especially the jumpsuit. But I'd heavily lean on the wishlist feature, because the cost of these items means that they aren't something you are going to want to impulse buy. I still generally prefer Trunk Club for exploring new brands and Stitch Fix for a lower cost wardrobe update, but Trendsend has some really special pieces that I couldn't find anywhere else.
