PSA: For ModCloth Lovers!

http://www.modcloth.com/store/modcloth/spring-stylish-surprise

10 bucks gets you a "surprise" item worth $29-$299. No returns, but for ten bucks, I'll take a chance! Accesories are $5, and you can do shoes for $10, too.

    "People talk about escapism as if it's a bad thing... Once you've escaped, once you come back, the world is not the same as when you left it. You come back to it with skills, weapons, knowledge you didn't have before. Then you are better equipped to deal with your current reality."

  • They have some pretty off the wall stuff, so what I end up with may very well be hideous, but I can handle it for $10. If you order, post what you end up with!

  • I just ordered the clothing surprise and the accessories surprise. I just ordered two dresses yesterday and another today. I can't wait to see everything since this is my first time ordering clothes online, but their stuff is super cute.

  • Well crap.  I just ordered the clothing surprise AND I bought another dress (which I told myself I wasn't going to do).  But I have no will power.

  • I'm curious but I've never ordered from there before.  How do their sizes run?  Small?  Big?  True?

    I find everything to be hit or miss.  I have about a 50/50 return rate.  I find that the more expensive the piece is, the better it fits.  I have had some really good luck and I have had some real stinkers.  But their return policy is excellent and couldn't be easier.

    But these surprise items can't be returned or exchanged.  :(
  • Nope.  You just have to gamble.

    I hate surprises and I'm doing it.  If I hate it, I'll sell it.

  • I got the shoes and the clothes, and a scarf and an over-door hook from my wishlist.  ModCloth is just one of those places it's easy for me to go crazy at.

    I'm 5'4", which is shorter than average, and most of the time when I have to return things it's because it's too short for me to not be flashing people.

  • Ok, I went for it!

    Fingers crossed for good stuff!   :)

  • I got one of each! Can't wait to see what surprises everyone gets!

    This is why I don't usually shop there. Crossing my fingers for a tunic! LOL

  • Ooh! So tempting! But I don't think I can deal with the size gamble.

    I don't have a great return rate, which isn't surprising, since I bought two dresses while I was in the UK for work that they happen to sell on ModCloth, and the sizes were very different. If I hadn't tried them on in the shop, I definitely would have ended up with the wrong size.

    :( Even then, for $10 I'm tempted. Too bad I'd have to convince my parents to hold on to it until I visited.

  • I forgot that they have reasonable international shipping, because most items are above the customs limit! But at $10, I should be able to get it into the country tax free! So I went for it. Can't wait to see what I got!

  • Mine shipped!  Woot!

  • @young_love one of my first purchases was a "dress" that is so clingy and short that I wear as a shirt with pants or jeans.  It could be a tunic with leggings if it didn't ride up when I walked. It's still cute, but looks completely different worn than on the mannequin.
