Wee Blessing<\/a> is a curated service that specializes in stylish, brand-name clothing. In its infancy, Wee Blessing focused solely on apparel for kids age newborn-14.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_3564\"<\/a>But now Wee Blessing is offering the precious gift of time to the whole family, including collections for men, women, teens, expectant moms and plus-size women.<\/p>\n

\"top\"<\/a>In the beginning, I had doubts about the curated clothing business model. You expect consumers to embrace a service that puts together outfits based on your profile? Won’t they miss shopping? Will they actually be delighted to open a box and see garments they might not have chosen for themselves?<\/p>\n

Not to worry. If you don’t like the items, you send them back. If you buy them all, you receive a bonus discount off the already marked-down prices.<\/p>\n

The success of pioneer Stitch Fix and other curated services shows that stylish, time-crunched consumers are open to letting someone else do the shopping. I’ve interviewed a number of fashionable women who say they appreciate the opportunity to work with a remote stylist who approaches their wardrobe with fresh eyes. So when the nice folks at Wee Blessing asked if I would like to try their service, I said yes.<\/p>\n

I also think their model is on the leading edge regarding the\u00a0kids’ market. Imagine how thrilled a child is opening a box of really cool clothes!<\/p>\n

\"img-thing\"<\/a>Based on my questionnaire, Wee Blessing promptly delivered five articles of clothing; two sets of pants and tops, and a cute dress. All were desirable brand names, in impeccable condition with tags attached.<\/p>\n

My fave is the Adrianna Papell cranberry keyhole knit top with fashion-forward bell sleeves (MSRP: $78, $32 through Wee Blessing). \u00a0I wore it to a Christmas party, where I got lots of compliments, a true litmus test of fashion.<\/p>\n

The box also included: a pretty pink print Lucky Brand top; Calvin Klein dark moon-washed jeans; Michael Kors classic black dress pants; and a Philosophy Malibu orange sleeveless frock that is cute but more appropriate for spring.<\/p>\n

Four out of five is a mighty fine batting average. Wee Blessing also is offering an attractive incentive, a $50 credit when you refer a friend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
