Wantable Intimates October 2015

Wantable has 5 subscriptions: an Accessory box (I am not a good accessorizor), their Intimate box, Make-up box and their Fitness wear and Style box (try on at home and keep what you want). For the Accessory, Intimate, and Make-up, the cost is $40 the first month and then a 10% discount subsequent months if you keep everything. You can return individual items, though, so it's not a keep all or none sort of thing. When you sign up, you set up a style profile an select things you love, like, and dislike. They will never send something you dislike. Each box is selected for you, so my box will be different from everyone else's box. And, you can return if you want. That's a bonus most boxes don't allow. Aaaannnddd .... you always have the option to skip a month when you just need to take some time off. I chose the Intimates box. Assortment of undergarments, socks, loungewear, etc. Should be 3-4 items per box depending on value of items.

One of the things that impresses me most about Wantable is how quickly they ship. My style profile says that I love Loungewear, Leggings, and Socks. I have reviewed on their site each item I've received and they seem to do a better job selecting my items each time.

I can always count on my Wantable box to be shipped and received on the first of the month. Precisely on September 24, I received email notification that my collection was being prepared. Promptly on October 1, my colection arrived. I didn't receive a special note in this collection, either, but the box was full of value. 

First in by box was Lucky Brand 3-Pack of socks: Of course, I like socks. I also liike multi-packs so I can mis-match my socks, while matching of course. I really wish I had more reasons to wear cute socks. Why do I like socks so much?  Anyway, I like the no-show socks, but I am really hoping for more knee-high socks in the future. Retail $16. My price to keep $6.81.

Next up, Betsey Johnson Rib Knit Slip: This pretty cobalt blue slip is very soft and I love the color. It is a rib knit and a little form fitting. I don't see myself wearing this as a slip under a dress, but it is great for lounging and for sleeping. I would wear shorts or tights with it for coverage. I really like the delicate round and slightly ruffled bottom and especially like the racerback straps. Retail $38. My price to keep $16.17
It's getting into colder weather, so Lucky Brand Aztec Diamond Seamless Leggings were a nice addition. These are very soft and the neutral color is great. I will get great use out of these with a long sweater or layes with jacket and boots. I can also just lounge at home in these very comfortably. Retail $24. My price to keep $10.21

And finally, Rene Rofe Scandal Hipster: Very scandalous indeed. Mesh and lace with a cotton gusset. I am getting used to the lacy and delicate and barely there undies that I'm receiving in the boxes. I am usually a cotton girl. I'm still a cotton girl, so I'm on the fence. Maybe a little change up sometimes is good? Retail $16. My price to keep $10.21

So, what do I think? I'm happy with the selection and the value. I paid $36 and the retail value of the collection is $94

Wantable is changing up how they do things starting in November. Current subscribers pricing will remain the same as long as you remain active, but new subscriber rate for this collection will be $50. They will also be curating the collection according to suites of loungewear and lingerie for coordination. I like that idea. They will also add additional size ranges from XS to 3XL. I received and email that sent the details, but the website does not reflect the change.
