In working with thousands of women over the last few years, I've learned a few things.
- Our lives are complicated and busy.
- Retail is broken.
- Fashion isn't.
These three things make it HARD to shop for and buy quality clothing and accessories.
When we have time to shop, either the stores are not well stocked or if we shop online, the models in the pictures create a false sense of how an item will look on regular women.
Women are ready for a different way to buy clothes and accessories.
Adore Your Wardrobe Boutique
Since Adore Your Wardrobe was founded in 2016, I've always had in the back of my mind the idea for creating my own boutique.
My goal was simple - to provide high-quality items, at a great price point, which worked in concert with the body symmetry formulas inside of the Adore Your Wardrobe Signature Course.
- I wanted to curate a collection you loved wearing. In fact, I wanted those pieces to become your favorites.
- I wanted you to receive compliments every time you wore one of my pieces of jewelry.
- I wanted you to feel like you had a special piece that not everyone else owns.
- I wanted to be inclusive of every body type, size, and height.
I wanted to make going shopping FUN again.
So, in December 2018, I opened up the Adore Your Wardrobe Boutique.
How Do You Shop the Adore Your Wardrobe Boutique?
The Adore Your Wardrobe Boutique has two different ways to shop.
- You can shop 24-hours-a-day, 7-days-a-week from either our Adore Your Wardrobe Boutique Website or App.
- You can shop during our LIVE sales (that are like a trunk show) from our Trunk Show Facebook Page or the App.
What's The Difference Between the Website, the App, and the Facebook Page?
Great question. In my opinion, the Adore Your Wardrobe Boutique App is the best way to shop.
- The App is the best way to shop. You can watch and place orders during the LIVE trunk shows, plus place orders for ready-to-ship jewelry and accessories from the app. It's the best of both worlds.
- The Adore Your Wardrobe Boutique Website has ready-to-ship immediately jewelry and accessories broken out by body type.
Just click your body type and you will be shown a curated list of items. Want to see more items? Click on "What's New" and you'll see all the items available.
How Do You Get An Invite To The Next Trunk Show?
The night a show opens, I will do a Facebook LIVE video on the Adore Your Wardrobe Boutique Facebook Page complete with commentary on color, undertone, size, and benefits.
If you are reading this post, consider yourself invited! I believe the more the merrier when it comes to parties!
But, in order to know the dates of the trunk shows, the jewelry I'll be showing, and the pricing, you need to make sure you are signed up for our weekly newsletter.
How Do I Order Jewelry From the Trunk Show?
(Fast Instructions)
- Go to Facebook on your computer or go to the Facebook app on a mobile device (very important to use the app not the website on a mobile device).
- Go to the Adore Your Wardrobe Boutique Facebook Page. (This page is different from the normal Adore Your Wardrobe Facebook page.)
- Scroll down to find the video.
- Click the play button on the video.
- Once the video is playing, type the word REGISTER in the comments section. That should bring up a screen to sign up for an account. Be sure to connect your Messenger account. Order confirmations, item availability, payment info, and shipping confirmations will be sent via Facebook Messenger.
- Go back to the video and type SOLD {NUMBER} in the comments section for the item you want to purchase.
- Keep an eye on Facebook Messenger. Order confirmations and links to pay will show up there.
- If an item is waitlisted, you can authorize your waitlist item by going to: https://adoreyourwardrobe.commentsold.com/account. Click on the heading "Waitlist Items/Backordered Items." Click the item you want to authorize. I only place orders for items on the authorized waitlist. (See more information about the Authorized Waitlist below.)
- Jewelry ships for FREE within seven days of the end of the show.
(Detailed Instructions)
HOW DO I SET UP AN ACCOUNT PRIOR TO THE SHOW?
- To set up your account, go to https://adoreyourwardrobe.commentsold.com/account. You can also set up your account by typing REGISTER in the comment section of a video.
- When you set up your account, it’s a really good idea to connect to Facebook Messenger. Order confirmations, item availability, payment information, and shipping confirmations will be sent via Facebook Messenger.
HOW DO I ORDER DURING A LIVE SHOW?
You will place your item order directly on the Facebook LIVE via a comment on the post.
Here is an example.
- During the LIVE, you decide you want to order item #2.
- You’ll type “SOLD 2” in the comments section of my Facebook Live.
- You’ll receive either an email or message via Facebook Messenger (recommended) with the next steps. If the item is available, you’ll receive a message the item is yours and how to checkout. If the item is sold out, you will be put on a waitlist.
- At the end of the show, you can go to your account at https://adoreyourwardrobe.commentsold.com/account and complete your checkout. By completing checkout at the end of the show, you’ll have the ability to checkout once and/or manage your waitlist items. You’ll need to complete the checkout whether this is your first purchase or you have purchased from us in the past.
Please note: Shopping Cart items expire after two hours.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WAITLIST AND AUTHORIZED WAITLIST?
Want an item that is sold out?
I place orders when the show is closed for any items that are sold out, but which the vendor still has inventory.
I will only order enough for items on the authorized waitlist. So, if you want an item, you need to give me the authorization to purchase your waitlisted item(s). This is the difference between “waitlist” to “authorized waitlist." “Authorized waitlist” will be fulfilled if I can get more inventory, but “waitlist” means you might get it if someone else returns it.
You can authorize the purchase of your waitlisted items inside of your account at https://adoreyourwardrobe.commentsold.com/account.
It's easy to do.
- Log in to your account (link above), and click on the "Waitlisted/Backordered" tab. Find your item. Click on "Click here to be first on the waitlist." (See images below.)
Then, choose your credit card and click "Authorize."
PLEASE NOTE: I will not charge your credit card until your order is fulfilled.
If an item has a waitlist of 31, but only 10 are on the authorized waitlist, I will be ordering 10 items. The 10 items will go to the authorized waitlist orders. This means that 21 people who just had the item on the regular waitlist will not receive the item.
If you want the item, the best chance is to make sure to authorize payment for any waitlisted item before the show closes.
WILL I ALWAYS GET MY WAITLIST ITEMS?
I do my best, but not always.
There are times when an item is so popular and the wholesaler runs out of inventory that I can’t complete all authorized waitlist orders. It’s a bummer.
You will not get charged for authorized waitlist items if I'm unable to fulfill the order. If you are curious about order fulfillment, you can always review your account at https://adoreyourwardrobe.commentsold.com/account.
WHAT IF THE ITEMS I COMMENTED ON AREN'T SHOWING UP IN MY CART?
Check Facebook Messenger or email.
Until you confirm your account, our system won’t let you add items to your cart. You should receive a confirmation message after your first comment, and you will need to confirm even if you’ve purchased from us before.
HOW DO I MANAGE MY ORDERS, WAITLIST ITEMS, CREDIT CARD, ADDRESS, ETC.?
Everything can be managed inside of your account on CommentSold.
You can authorize payment of waitlist items, manage your waitlist items, checkout, update card information, update address information, and much more inside of your account at https://adoreyourwardrobe.commentsold.com/account.
WHAT IS YOUR SHIPPING AND RETURN POLICY?
Shipping is $5.99 within the United States, including Alaska and Hawaii.
We currently are not shipping to Canada, the non-Continental US Territories, or Internationally.
With regard to returns, we want you to be happy with your purchase. If you receive an item that is defective, please email [email protected] and we'll get you a refund or find a replacement.
If you need to make a return, please either email [email protected] or fill out the return form available online.
All returns need to be made within 14 days from the shipping date so that we can offer that item to someone else who has it on their waitlist.
DO YOU CHARGE A RESTOCK FEE?
Yes. While I hated to do this, I recognized that offering free shipping, unlimited returns, and competitive pricing is not sustainable for this small business.
I pay fees on each purchase and each credit card transaction and do not receive those fees back when items are returned or refunded. When multiple items are bought and returned, my margin for profitability is lessened.
In order to keep prices competitive, a small restock fee is charged for certain returns and refunds.
The restock fee is $2.99 per item if an item is purchased, but not shipped.
This fee can be avoided if you pay attention to your cart and wait to pay at the end of the show.
If an item is in stock and makes it to your cart, it will remain in your cart for the next two hours or until you remove it. If you no longer want the item or change your mind, simply click the trashcan in the upper lefthand corner and it will be removed. If you do this before you checkout, you will avoid the restock fee.
If an item is an authorized waitlist item, you can still avoid this fee by removing the item from your account before we ship the item (usually a week after the trunk show ends).
Finally, if your item is only on the waitlist, you can avoid this fee by NOT checking out and either removing the item or letting it expire in your shopping cart.
Again, this fee only applies if you have checked out and have changed your mind before the item is shipped.
The restock fee is $2.99 per item if the order is shipped and then returned and you want credit on your original form of payment. There is NO restock fee on returns if you choose to have "store credit".
One of the tenants in Adore Your Wardrobe is to only spend money on items you LOVE. And, I recognize some things look good on the video, but don’t translate as well when you get them to your wardrobe. You should be able to return the item for a refund.
The situation I can’t sustain is when someone purchases 10 items and returns nine of them.
If you want your credit on your original form of payment, we will charge a $2.99 restock fee. If you want to avoide the restock fee, you can choose to have store credit. This credit will remain in your account and you can use it during the next Adore Your Wardrobe Jewelry Show.
