September Wantable Accessories Review


I LOVED my first Wantable Accessories so I decided to keep getting this new subscription. I wear my pieces from my first box all the time! I got my first Sept box at the beginning of the month so it's been awhile... yes, I said first. This month's Wantable Accessories review is a bit of a saga. Welcome to a crash course in customer service and returns! I'll explain all and show all- but right off the bat- gotta say Wantable has AMAZING customer service!!! Oh, also, I loved my final results!


Wantable Accessories:
Type: Accessories Box
Cost: $40/month includes shipping
What is it?: Like wantable.co's beauty box this box is worth $80-$100. Every box has 4 to 5 new and unique boutique jewelry items that were hand-selected by style expert Bjorn Nasett. Experts help you in how to wear each piece which are customized to you personal style. You have the option to skip a box each month and free returns are included. Please use my link to sign up- taking the quiz and signing up is free!


Let's start at the beginning- Box #1

I signed up for Wantable Intimates (which I LOVE- see Review) and got an e-mail soon after, that a glitch from signing up for Wantable Intimates wiped my Makeup and Accessories quizzes. My Accessories box was already being "put together" so I didn't worry about it too much and was on vaca at the time. When I got home I retook the quizzes and didn't think much about it.

Until I got this...


Whaaa?!?

Everything was opposite my taste preferences. Gold. Bohemian. Studs. So weird.

The big thing was the gold. This box was put together based on a wiped quiz- aka no preferences. I contacted Wantable and they sent me my return label (returns are FREE) and put together another box to replace this one! 


Enter Box #2


Ok.. still confused...

My info card showed my correct preferences- showing I dislike gold-tone jewelry and I got earrings that were described as gold-tone hoops... What?!

Very confused. The sunglasses are copper/gold rimmed too! 

So, I contact Wantable in super confusion. These pieces were nice, just not for me, so I had to ask- do the preferences matter? I wrote that my info card reflected my distaste for gold but I got two gold pieces! If this keeps happening I needed to know so I can cancel.

Wantable to the rescue. I am such a stupid rarity!!! I was offered a free box once upon a time and used my brokebeautyblogger e-mail address to start a new account then I decided to just redeem it through my current (personal e-mail) account. I completely forgot about the second account I started! My accounts somehow merged together when they curated the box and even though it sent the info card with the right info they used the preferences from my empty account aka an account with NO quiz choices! 

I know it's confusing but it's really just a crazy glitch that would only happen to me and it's great that Wantable figured it out! They told me to keep the second box (for FREE!) and they would delete my non-existent account and send me a box that would be my preferences. 

It amounts to 2 boxes for the price of 1! I will gift the hoops and glasses but I've already worn these earrings:




Amelia Earrings: Adorable chevron studs! Price: $24


Box #3!


Unboxing!


Personal, hand-written note from the Wantable Customer Service team! So nice!


Info sheet


First peek!


All packaged very nicely!

I was already excited- this looked perfect!!!


Amanda Watch: I got a watch in my last Wantable Accessories and didn't know if I'd want another new one until I saw this watch! It's perfect. It's much more grown up than any other watch I have and so chic. I love the rectangular face (I only have round face watches) and the rhinestones add some extra bling. I've worn it several times, including last night! Price: $36



Shelly Earrings: These teardrop stone earrings are different and amazing! I've already worn them and I LOVED the look. They are set on hematite bars and they are a nice balance between costume jewels for a big dress-up night and day to day wear. I paired these with a dark blue print dress and it looked fabulous. These were past my comfort zone a bit (I love large earrings but they don't usually have stones) and now they are one of my favs! Price: $28 


Emmaline Earrings: I had received bow earrings that were at a bit of a drop before in another box and I kept thinking they would be so much better as studs. Ta-da! I got my wish! I wore these two days ago and loved having a tiny, feminine touch to my pink outfit. Dainty and lovely. Love these. Price: $20


Selena Necklace: My first thought: Cool! I love the simplicity of this necklace! A double-bar silver necklace is something that you can incorporate into a ton of outfits! The bars keep it from being too dainty and add a tiny bit of edge. This piece is a perfect addition to my jewelry box! Price: $22


Verdict: This box was definitely worth the wait! Patience IS worth it! I ended up getting a box perfect for me with pieces I LOVE. I like pieces with color in them but it's nice to get a box full of silver pieces I can wear every day! The watch has become one of my new most-loved pieces and I've already got great use out of my two new pairs of earrings (actually three, including the chevron pair from the last box)! I'm so excited about my new necklace too! I ended up getting $106 in jewelry from this $36 box- and that doesn't include box #2 which I got to keep too! I think it's obvious to say Wantable is amazing! I love my box and their customer service was sooo helpful and prompt (I received replies the day of or morning after I'd write them). Thanks so much! Excited for October!!
