Trunk Club Review

I used to love going to the mall and spending a few hours trying on clothes and hunting for deals.  The past few years I've migrated more towards online shopping and even more so this past year with a baby at home. So it was the perfect timing when I read about Trunk Club on Liz's blog, 26 and Counting.

I've been intrigued by the idea of clothing boxes in the past, even filling out forms and signing up for emails to start the process, but I never follow through.  I couldn't get over the idea of paying a styling fee and I worried about having to opt out each month or risk getting charged.  With Trunk Club, I don't have to worry about either of those things!  There is no styling fee with Trunk Club and shipping both ways is free. Plus, the trunks only come when you request them.  Totally zero risk!  I also like that it is a Nordstrom company.  Their customer service is superb.

I did my first trunk in February and it was so fun!  I filled out the form online.  A few hours later, I got a call from my stylist Giselle.  We chatted for a few minutes about what I was looking for - pieces that would mix well with what I already own, that I could wear for work or on the weekend. 

Trunk Club Example


A few days later a huge box showed up at my door!  The box itself is really cute and resembles a trunk.  It was so fun trying on all of the clothes and accessories inside.  It was tempting to keep it all!  I felt like my stylist had a good idea of my style and needs.  Most of the pieces I felt like I would have picked out myself.  There were a few wild cards too, that I wasn't sure about but then loved when I tried them on - like this Topshop Embellished Sheer Top.  (Sold out now and I ended up returning but it was really cute!)  Since the trunks are so big, I think monthly would be too much for me, but once a season will be perfect!
Here's an outfit I put together with one of the pieces from from my Trunk.



I am really looking forward to doing another trunk for the spring/summer!  Side note - I also appreciate how Trunk Club doesn't send tons of emails. Also I did this review of my own accord without any compensation from Trunk Club.  I do get a bonus though if you are interested in trying Trunk Club and use my referral link! - https://www.trunkclub.com/my/invite/5SUKEY  (Once you sign up, you can pass your referral link on to your friends too.)
