I Got It From My Mailbox: Cypress & 5th Review

Cypress & 5th sent us a complimentary box to review, however all opinions are our own.

If you’ve ever wanted access to an unlimited closet (curated by a personal stylist, no less), you’ll want to check out Cypress & 5th. This site gives you access to a virtual dressing room with hand-picked pieces that are seasonal and on-trend. Each month, you log on and pick out two or three pieces to receive in the mail—for keeps. Each package costs $74.95 and comes with styling suggestions, and unlike other sites, there’s no obligation to buy: If you don’t see anything in your dressing room that you like, you just click “Opt Out.”

My dressing room was filled with a variety of tops, skirts and dresses. I could either pick a dress or a blouse and a skirt, which made sense as either way I got a complete outfit. Since all of the shirts felt a little young to me, I chose a super cute fit n’ flare dress with an embroidered hem and a matching belt.

To wear this to work, I paired it with brown American Eagle Outfitters heeled sandals (similar from Modcloth, $59.99). Many of the other Her Campus interns complimented me on the dress, and I loved how versatile it is—I can wear it through the warmer months with sandals, or even with chunky knit layers and booties in the fall.

Along with an outfit, Cypress & 5th also sends you an accessory. Their selection had choices for every style, from trendy clutches to classic earrings. I’ve been lusting over statement jewelry for a while, so I decided on a bold gold, tortoiseshell and gem necklace.

Hannah Grace, a fellow Editorial intern, modeled the necklace for me. We thought it looked amazing with the high neckline on her Madewell dress (similar from Madewell, $138). It’s pretty heavy (look at all those pretty details!) and the quality is really great.

Although I loved both the dress and the necklace, I’m not sure that I would pay roughly $75 for them if I saw them at the mall or in a boutique. However, for collegiettes who don’t have a ton of time to pick out complete outfits to buy and style, and who love wearing of-the-moment fashions, Cypress & 5th is a great service.
