To say that I was a little bit excited about this opportunity to test out a Mercury Mile box would be an understatement. If you're a mom, you know exactly what I'm talking about. Shopping? That word does NOT exist for a mom. We are lucky to set foot in a mall two seconds after we birth our babies. Then, those children grow up and we are running in all different directions, it's amazing we wear clothes at all.
I'm kidding of course, but online shopping is truly the ONLY way I can shop at my current stage of life. To find an available couple of hours to leisurely peruse a mall in hopes to find cute clothes; dream on. Plus, if you look in my closet at any given time, you will see that I "mom" and I run. My closet is 80% running clothes and 20% casual. So, when the Mercury Mile opportunity came along I was doing the jig in my living room!
So, what IS Mercury Mile?
Mercury Mile is an online athletic/athleisure clothing service where your own personal stylist does your shopping and ships your items directly to your door with your own specifications in mind! How cool is that? I simply go online and fill out my online profile, that includes my measurements, and other fun get-to-know-you questions. There is a $20 styling fee that is applied toward any items you keep! That styling fee is well worth it in my opinion because the gas alone to the mall is half that!
Once you have told your stylist what you're looking for, in a few days your box appears at your doorstep with 4-6 hand-picked items! You have 7 days to try on and choose what you'd like. If you need to return any items, just pop them back in the postage paid bag and you're done. Any items you keep are charged accordingly. Easy Peasy!!
But, I bet you're curious as to what came in my box? I couldn't WAIT to open it! Check out my un-boxing video here!
For my first box, I requested hot weather running gear. I wanted lightweight tanks and shorts to compliment the hot and humid Minnesota summers. When I opened my box, I received a personal note from my stylist and fantastic options! She sent exactly what I wanted and a few surprises too!
This tank! Well, it's a stunner and it's my absolute favorite piece of workout clothing I currently own. It's incredibly comfy and flows well. My stylist knocked it out of the park on this one. I'd wear it everyday if I could. This was a definite KEEP. It was $48.
These were my next items. This amazing orange tank and ASICS shorts. To be honest I love it ALL, but realized that I didn't have to have the shorts, they didn't get me super excited, so I decided to return them. They were priced great though.
Would you look at how cute the back is on this tank? Um, yes please. And, it was unlike anything I have so it was a KEEPER! Again, she listened to my specifications and this tank was also incredibly lightweight and comfortable!
I also received these adorable pair of white sunglasses. These were a surprise and affordable, so I had to keep them. Again, very lightweight and perfect for SUMMER. They've been attached to me since I got them!
My stylist did throw in a pair of running socks too and if I didn't already have 1,900,000 pair, I would have kept them! What is a girl to do? I like socks! I figured even though they weren't expensive, I didn't really need them.
The only bust for me was the tank pictured below. I liked that it fit my specifications of lightweight and cool, but the cut and fit was just a bit off. I also didn't like the high neckline - I felt a bit closed off and it was difficult to get over my head.
I am in LOVE with this service. Mercury Mile goes above and beyond expectations! It's incredibly convenient and I'd be lying if I wasn't excited to see my surprises in the box. Do you have budget concerns? You can set your specific spending limit so no worries about getting items shipped to you out of your budget! Plus, you can shop in the comfort of your own home. Now that's a WIN!!
If you'd like to try a box for yourself, use code " BibRave10" for $10 off your styling fee! I'll definitely be ordering again!
you got some super cute stuff! I would love to try Mercury mile. I did stitch fix once or twice and did not really care for the stuff they picked. I live in athletic wear anyway!
ReplyDeleteME TOO! I do love stitch fix however, so I've had good luck there. But this was SO much fun!
Deletenice stuff! I actually even like the piece you decided against, but I can understand that the collar was maybe a bit too high.
ReplyDeleteI'm in the Netherlands so unfortunately I can't take advantage of this service.
Aww bummer! Yes, I 'almost' kept the high neckline tank - it wouldn't have been that expensive to keep actually, but I figured I would have it sit in the closet! :)
DeleteThis is fun! I always love new workout clothes!
ReplyDeleteHow fun! Were the tanks and shorts all name brands? I love that they're doing a service like this for athletes. :D
ReplyDeleteNice digs!! Even the shirt you let go is nice. I'm picky on shorts...they have to be stellar (really bright, colorful, or unique) for me to buy them because I already 1,000,001 others on standby ;-)
