Fashionable Friday Random Review - JustFab Robbie Boots

The Subscription: JustFab

The Cost: $39.95 and up

The Goods: Shoes, pants and accessories.  Charges are recurring for one piece each month but you can skip.

I joined JustFab a couple years ago when they carried Iron Fist shoes, but have never actually ordered anything of their own brand.  They had a promotion a couple weeks ago where select styles were free - you just had to pay shipping and handling.  Um.  Hello?!  Free shoes?  I'm in.

Since the last thing I would need is more heels, I opted for the "Robbie" boot.  I tend to gravitate towards black, so I didn't own any brown boots and I really liked the engineer style of these.  These are all man-made materials, though JustFab does carry leather and suede shoes as well.

I haven't put them through a full day of wear, but they weren't uncomfortable while I was walking around the house in them.  They don't have a super cushy sole or much support, though, so I wouldn't wear them for anything that required me to be on my feet all day.  The quality seems decent - I'd put it on par with shoes from Target or Kohl's.  The pair I received had some random black smears on them, but I was able to clean them at least to the point where they're not distracting.

One thing I really like about them is the size of the boot shaft.  I have chicken legs so usually structured boots look huge on me, but these fit me really well.  (However, I can see how they'd be problematic if you had more shapely calves.)

I had some points in my account from previous orders, so I opted for a bottle of their PaintFab nail polish in Trays of Truffles.  The color isn't incredibly unique, but the application was smooth and I got good coverage with one coat.  This is two coats, with no top coat.

My order also came with a free sample of Garnier Clean Blackhead Clearing Scrub.

 Would I have spent $40 on these boots?  Probably not.  Am I happy with them for the $5 I actually spent?  Hells yes!  The promotion I used is over, but they seem to have BOGO sales fairly regularly, so if you find a pair you like, just check back on them every once in a while!

Fashionable Friday - Guilty Pleasures

A few months ago, I found a pair of pastel ikat-ish leggings at Target for $2.  They were kind of horrible.  Obviously, I bought them.  J makes fun of them every time I wear them, but I love them.  I've decided that they're a guilty-pleasure fashion item.

Ready Player One is one of my favorite books, ever.

Most of the time, I just wear them around the house as pajamas, but I really dig them with black boots.

Speaking of guilty pleasures, I want this SO SO Happy hoodie really badly.  It's silly and ridiculous but...I WANT ONE.  (Actually, I want several of their hoodies, but this one is my favorite.)

SO SO Happy Siq Rainbow In Black Hoodie

My current biggest fashion guilty pleasure would have to be animal sweaters.  No, no, not sweaters *for* animals.  I mean sweaters with animals on them.  They sort of trendy at the moment, so I guess they're not that "guilty" really, but it's something else that J makes fun of.  (Mostly because we have maybe two months of cold weather a year.)  Below are a few of my favorites.  I actually bought the hedgehog one the first time I saw it - it's the start of my addiction I suppose.
