New Partnership with Gwynnie Bee

I'm excited to announce a new partnership that I'm launching with Gwynnie Bee.  If you're unfamiliar with the company, the closest analogy I can come up with is that Gwynnie Bee is like the Netflix of plus size clothing. It's the ultimate plus size clothing exchange - a veritable revolving closet door that lets you try on new styles, or colors, or designers without having to make the commitment of a purchase.

I first started hearing about Gwynnie Bee from some of my favorite, most-trusted bloggers like Kimberly, Tina, Reah and Amanda. The fact that these women were raving about the service got my attention.  So I looked into subscribing...and then didn't.

My logic at the time was this: Why would I spend money to rent clothes instead of buying them?  I don't part with  my clothing dollars thoughtlessly, and I couldn't wrap my mind around spending money...to not own something. (Forget about the fact that I'm an avid Netflix subscriber...I wasn't drawing the parallel at the time!)

Fast forward a few months and here's where I am:

• Bored out of my mind with my closet
• Disappointed by the last few clothing purchases I've made - both online and in-store
• Wanting to expand the designers that I wear, but unsure about sizing and quality in lines I'm not familiar with

That's when Gwynnie Bee made sense to me. I want to experiment more - both with trends and my core style. I want to become familiar with plus size designers that are new-to-me so I can support the community with future purchases outside of my go-to retailers.  I want to infuse what's in my closet with the life of a few new items - without shelling out a ton of money on trendy or seasonal pieces.

If you're right there with me, give the free 30-day trial with Gwynnie Bee a try.  See how it goes and share your experience with me.

If you're not ready yet, I get it (see previous comment about not signing up right away, either).  Gwynnie Bee is providing me with a free membership for the next few months so I can tell you about my experience with the service. I'll be honest with you about what I like and what I think needs to be improved.   If absolutely nothing else, I hope you'll enjoy seeing the new outfits I put together with my clothes and what arrives from Gwynnie Bee!
