Rocksbox- Box Seven

I'm conflicted. On one hand, I'm still excited to receive my Rocksbox shipments. Unwrapping the box is like getting a birthday present, and I love the element of surprise with the selections. It's definitely more exciting than getting bills in the mail! On the other hand, the pieces have mostly been duds.

It seems that either the items that I put on my wish list look different from their pictures or, I'm being sent random pieces that are really different from those that I've requested. I like the opportunity to try new things, but I had thought that by Box Seven (twenty-one pieces of jewelry later) that the stylists would have a better idea of my tastes. Perhaps their inventory just isn't very "me"? 

Box Seven

Box Seven arrived a few hours before we were heading off to a holiday party. I ended up wearing the Gorjana Alma Cuff to the party. 

The cuff is a pretty, very simple piece. It would be versatile for day/night wear. I have thin wrists, so I liked that it was bendy and adjustable. It didn't slide around.  I liked it, but it looked like several bracelets that I already own, so it wasn't a keeper.

The Gorjana Cameron Fringe Earrings were a pick from my wish list. 

I liked the style, but not the length. They were a touch too long. 

I love statement necklaces and I specifically requested that a statement necklace be included in Box Seven. The Perry Street Eve Necklace was NOT on my wish list. 

Hands down, this is the ugliest piece of jewelry that Rocksbox has sent. The only thing that I liked about it was the teal color of the stones. Teal is one of my go-to colors. Everything else was awful; the thick chain, huge cluster of stones. Here is a closer look-

I immediately hated it and knew that it was going back, but to give it a solid review, here is a picture of it on. The chain was short and it is shown at it longest length. 

I asked for another statement necklace to be sent in Box Eight. Here's to hoping that it's more flattering. I really want to find pieces to add to my permanent collection, but so far, I've only purchased one piece. C'mon Rocksbox, make me want to spend!

Rocksbox- Box Six

Black Friday internet sales really slowed the shipment of my sixth box. It took over a week and the USPS tracking was way off. However, this time of the year we have to be patient with the mail...scratch that, we need extra patience for everything.

Hana styled my box this time, and in her note (they're eternally optimistic at Rocksbox), she mentions me liking my previous box, leaving me to wonder if they pay attention to my feedback?

After a disappointing fifth box, what was in box six?

The Slate Maya Necklace in Gold. This three layer necklace was not on my wishlist and not something that I would normally pick, but I was happy to give it a try. I like the experimenting/getting me out of my comfort zone aspect of Rocksbox.

The problem was in the layers. It was impossible to wear this necklace without getting the layers tangled or keeping the dangle bits from twisting up. Here is the best picture that I could get it, but as soon as I moved, it tangled again. Not flattering.

The Loren Hope Chloe Studs in Iridescent were fun. 

But, they were problematic. They are too fancy for everyday wear and too costume-jewelry looking for a nice event. Another example of something that I would have loved as a teenager, but have outgrown. 

I had the highest hopes for the Perry Street Crystal X Ring.

It was enormous! I wear a size eight, but I think that they must have sent the wrong size. It just fell right off of my ring finger. 

It's still fun to get the Rocksbox delivery. It still feels like getting a present. However, I'm starting to think that their inventory isn't my style. I plan to continue this experiment until ten boxes, to see if there is an improvement in what the stylist pick for me. 

I asked for a statement necklace to be sent in box seven, let's see if the stylist meets the challenge!
