Wantable Intimates March 2014

Wantable Intimates March 2014

I decided to do another month of Wantable Intimates.  Mostly because I forgot to skip the month, but partially because I did a major clean-out of my underwear drawer and need new things to fill it!

First Look

This box arrived a day earlier than I expected, which was nice.  It showed up on Feb. 28, I have just been slacking on writing this review ;).

Muk Luks Footless Tights, black

First up, footless tights by Muk Luks.  I can always use more plain black tights, and I like that these are footless.

$15

Sweet Dots Hipster by Icy Hot

These are pretty cute! I like the grey dots and the rouching.  I was a little confused because these were a size M, and I have my preferences set to S, but they fit well.  Maybe this brand runs small, and Wantable sent me the size up because of it?

$8.99

Betsey Johnson Luscious Lite Cami Tap Set- Shorts

Last up is a cami and tap short set from Betsey Johnson.  I apologize for not having a picture of everything in the box together, but this set got put on right away.  It was Friday night.  The pants were coming off, blog pictures be damned!

Betsey Johnson Luscious Lite Cami Tap Set- Cami

Betsey Johnson Luscious Lite Cami Tap Set- Together

I like this set.  It's light and comfortable and the material is nice and soft.  It will be great in the summer, but I didn't want to wait until then to wear it.

$59

This box totaled to $82.99.  This is a better value than the $36 I paid for it, but I do have a little bit of a bone to pick with Wantable.  Because the items you receive are picked based on your profile, all of the boxes vary WILDLY in overall value from person to person.  I've seen March boxes value over $110, and some as low as $70.  Another pair of underwear would have brought this total closer to the high, and I would have been a little happier.  I do like everything I got this month, at least.  But, would I pay $9 for the tights, $9 for the underwear, and $9 for each piece of the set? I don't think I would.  I can get tights cheaper, underwear cheaper, and that exact set was on Hautelook a few days ago for more than half off the suggested MSRP.

If you think Wantable is for you, I suggest you give it a try.  The boxes are highly customizable and the overall value is there.  It is $40 for a one-time purchase, $36 with a subscription.  You can skip whatever months you want to.

Wantable Intimates Box, November 2013

This is my second Wantable Intimates box.  They always ship these a few days before the start of the month, so this is for November!  Boy, these months are flying by!

This costs $40 for a one-time purchase or $36 for a monthly subscription, where you can skip a month or cancel at any time.  You fill out a very detailed profile with what clothing items and styles you like, as well as colors, sizes, etc.  If you are interested, please use my link here!  I'll get a $10 credit for everyone who joins with that link.  

Upon first look, I wasn't thrilled:

Muk Luks Tights in Plum

Tights.  I don't really wear tights.  These are a dark plum and are ribbed and I'm not sure that I'll wear them.  Now, this label says Muk Luks and the info sheet I was sent says they are by Izabella. It seems that they are one and the same?  I'm not sure, but these sell for about $10.50 at Target, yet Wantable listed them valued at $19.

Things got better with the next item I pulled out:

Undies Couture by Lauren Copeland Lace Hipster in Black

This is a black lace hipster by Undies Couture, which seems to be part of Coobie.  Again, the tag and the info sheet don't match up except for in description.  Googling seems to confirm that Coobie is in charge of the Undies Couture line.  Either way, these are really nice!  They fit well, and unlike a lot of hipsters, they actually stay up past my butt crack.  I feel like I have permanent plumbers' crack with some of the lace hipsters I have! These fit and are very comfortable.

 Wantable lists this retail price at $14.

Next came another pair of undies:

Jockey Clean Edge Cheeky Fit Microfiber Stretch Boyshort

I am not in love with the pattern, but I love seamless and clean edge undies! These will definitely get worn, I have a few pairs like this that I wear often and it's nice to have another. I haven't tried them on yet, but the material feels soft and like it would be virtually unnoticeable while wearing.

The tag on them says $12 or 3 for $30.  Wantable went with the individual value of $12, but I'll call it $10 in my overall total.  

The last item is by far my favorite, and I'm glad that I pulled it out last!  This totally makes the box worth it to me, and I will stick around for another month based upon this item alone.

Betsey Johnson Luscious Knit and Chiffon Slip in Black, Front

Betsey Johnson Luscious Knit and Chiffon Slip, Back.

It's a Betsey Johnson slip!  It has some bow details on the front and back, some tiny rose details where the shoulder traps meet the front, and some chiffon inserts to add some sex appeal.  There is a bra closure in the middle of the back, and the rest is cut away to the hip line.  

This is absolutely something that I would have picked out for myself, but put back on the rack when I saw the price!  It fits perfectly and is very comfortable and flattering.  The material is so soft and it is sexy without being trashy or cheap-feeling.  It's just a really good quality slip that is already one of my favorites!

Suggested retail from Wantable (and the tag on it) is $65.

I paid $36 for (on the low end of the prices) $99.50 worth of wardrobe staples.

I'm really impressed with the items I received this month, and with some tweaking to my profile, I hope next month will be equally awesome, or better!
