There are other things I should be doing: Trunk Club #2 Reveal

Trunk Club #2 Reveal

My first trunk was fitness inspired and I didn't ask for a second trunk, but once I saw the boots she was sending I figured I would go for it.
I declined more options this time than last time, but overall I felt like she had a good sense of my style considering we haven't really communicated much about it. One shirt I declined because I already have it so that's impressive that out of all the clothes available she would happen to pick something I like so much that I have it. Other things that I declined just weren't practical for my working at home mom life (aka white and too expensive to take the risk).

Here is my trunk #2!

1. Madewell Cotton White Tee - KEEP - I love Madewell tees. I have another style with a pocket and it's super soft and I wear it all the time. Can't go wrong with basic white tees! And I've rationalized I need more than one because this one doesn't have a pocket and because my kid is always covering me in mystery stickiness.
2. Faux Suede Jacket - RETURNED - This is not something I would have picked for myself but when I saw it in my trunk I didn't remove it. I think the whole point is to step out of your comfort zone and try new styles. I was also thinking about my amazing Sam Eldemann penny boots that are a staple in my wardrobe and how cute this would look with them. However, it's not tan, it's pinkish. It's sooo soft. I wanted to talk myself into it, but at this price point and with the color being pink, I knew I wouldn't wear it enough to make it worth buying.
3. High Rise Skinny Jeans by Madewell - RETURNED - for as much as I love Madewell basic tees I've never tried their jeans. I also have never thought to try high rise jeans.They aren't as high as this picture looks. They seemed a normal fit to me (or that means all my jeans are high mom jeans?). Since they weren't anything special and I have jeans already, I returned them

4. Pleionne Scoop Neck Tee - RETURNED -not sure why I didn't realize this when I reviewed my initial trunk but I have a very similar top from the same brand that I got at the end of summer Nordstrom sale.

5. Free People Split Back Pullover - RETURNED - A few things about this with the first being it's RIBBED. Ugh. I hate ribbed clothing. It was comfy and oversized with an opening in the back. I wanted to like it but couldn't get over the ribbing.

6. Trouve Asymetrical Hem Sweater - RETURNED - In theory this is a nice fit and was flattering, but I also thought it was weird.

7. Lucky Booties - KEEP - The whole reason I decided to get another trunk was seeing these booties! I have been wanting a brown pair without a heel because as much as I love my knee high boots, I need shoes I can slip on and off for daycare drop off and pick up. I was worried because my shoe size seems to have changed post pregnancy and the shoes I got in my last fix were too small. You don't see what sizes you are getting but I sent my stylist a message asking for these a half size bigger than the shoes in the previous trunk. They fit! I love them!

8. Halogen Sweater - RETURNED - this was an item that was added after I removed some items. I love it and it's really soft. I don't own anything in this color and I'm not opposed to the color but wasn't loving it enough to keep.

9. Ponte pants - RETURNED - These pants were another item added after my initial review. I really like the style but I just have already bought too many pants for the fall and have things that are similar but more casual for my lifestyle. I just didn't think I'd have enough occasions to wear these. I think they also ran small and they just didn't feel like a great fit. I didn't even take a picture in them.

10. Cable Knit Sweater Dress - RETURNED - This was added after my initial review. I was surprised to see it because I declined an item stating that white wasn't going to be practical with the baby right now. There's no way I would chance this. I wanted to keep it thinking it would be cute for the holidays but considering my daughter's birthday is at the holidays I can just picture frosting smeared on everything from her cake and we serve Italian food at Christmas. This is a magnet for spilled sauce. I just couldn't take the chance! It's REALLY heavy and thick. Which was kind of nice because some sweater dresses hug my curves and don't look flattering, but it was also just really hot.
