Part of my daily weekday routine is to stare at my cupboard,
till the time I realize that I am running late and, pick up anything random and
wear that to work. Now, the dress code at my work place isn’t strict, so I can
wear anything I can. I can be fashionable or just look like I dragged myself
out of bed. Mostly, I am under the
second bracket, but honestly I don’t like that myself!
But, if I get an option
to dress nicely every day I would, only if it happens without the hassle of
deciding what to wear.
Now, when I bumped across Stylenook.in, a styling service especially for
working women, on facebook, I jumped in to give it a
try. Because, let’s not kid ourselves, we all need a bit of help to dress up on
a working day!
Let me tell you a bit about Stylenook and then I’ll tell you
about my experience. StyleNook, is perfect for the woman on the go, who needs
to look her best at work and has no time to invest, to decide what to buy and
go shopping for the same! All you have to do is, fill in your style profile,
such as what sort of prints you like and dislike, you measurements, do you
prefer western clothes or Indian clothes, etc. And then place the order.
Your stylist will give you a call to better understand your
taste and what exactly your requirement is, and in the brief call you will just
have to fill her in with your needs. Within a couple weeks, you receive your
box with the clothes your stylist has picked for you. Try them on and decide if
you like them or not. If you like them, you keep those pieces and only pay for
them.
And simply, raise return request for the clothes you don’t
want to keep.

| A note from My stylist |
Now coming down to my experience, I followed the steps above
and ordered my box. I received the box in less than a couple weeks’ time. If
you have watched my instagram stories last week, you’d know what my view for
each item was. In my box, there were 5 items; A dress, a shirt, a wrap shirt, a
skirt and a scarf.
I liked everything in my box, apart from the scarf, but
unfortunately the size of the items I wanted to keep was a problem. I wanted to
keep the dress, the two shirts and the skirt. But, three of them had some or
the other problem with the size. So, I decided to return the whole box and
order another box with more detailed sizing data from my side! It is as easy as
that. And you only pay for the clothes; there are no extra charges for the
styling or anything!
Will update you soon on what I received in my next box!

UPDATE :
Hey everyone! So my second box from stylenook is here! After
some size and choice issues with the first one, I had a long conversation with
my stylist, Laxmi and she asked everything about my lifestyle and what I wear
usually and what resonates with me when it comes to clothing. This was all to
understand me better.
And from what I understand, that this happens sometimes and
is quite common for the StyleNook team to send a second box over. And this
time, the box was absolutely spot on.
There were 5 pieces of clothing, but I kept only four,
because one had a bit of a size issue. So, here are the four things that I received
and this is why I chose to keep these. I was really happy to receive the dress
I loved from the first box, in my size!
The two shirts which I received are from a brand called Uptownie
Lite. The pink checked shirt can also be
worn as a jacket and is perfect for the season.
Mustard being the hot colour of the year, is required to be in my
closet. This shirt with a bold collar does the job well!
The teal belt is my second most favourite in this box, after
the dress! It is perfect and is completely my style!
All in all, I am quite happy with the service I received the
second time and I would recommend all you working women to leave your work
closet on these brilliant stylists, and they will have you dress perfectly in
no time!
Loads of love,
Priyanjana
