ModCloth FitShop Washington, D.C.

ModCloth recently opened a new brick and mortar store in Washington, D.C. This will be their 3rd permanent location (including Austin and San Francisco). However, ModCloth’s “FitShops” aren’t your normal run-of-the-mill shops! I was fortunate enough to visit the Washington, D.C. FitShop last week and will explain how it works, plus my thoughts on the experience (and show some of the fun things I found) in this post.

How ModCloth’s FitShop Works

Usually, when you go to a clothing store, you wander around, try some things on and then purchase them. Given that ModCloth is a fun, online retailer, that’s not exactly how your shopping experience is going to go here – not that that’s a bad thing.

While you can certainly wander into a ModCloth store and look at their super cute merchandise…you won’t actually be able to buy the items in the store. Let me explain how this works…

1.) Make an Appointment with a ModCloth Stylist

To get the most out of your ModCloth shopping experience you should make an appointment ahead of time with a ModCloth Stylist. (Click here to do that!) You’ll answer a short questionnaire when you make your appointment, so your stylist will know roughly what you’re looking for. You can also give them permission to look at your ModCloth account, so they have a better idea of your style.

Pro Tip… Update your ModCloth wishlist! I, unfortunately, hadn’t done this and had bought many of the things on my wishlist already. My poor stylist had to take a completely different direction with their picks once I showed up and said… “Sorry, I already bought all of this.” My stylist was fantastic and had a new set of clothes for me to try on in no time – but it would’ve been much more efficient on my end to just have updated my wishlist before going in!

Once you arrive at the store, your stylist will sit down and chat with you about what you’re looking for. They’ll also let you look around the store at what’s all in stock. You’ll then get a little notepad to write down your favorite items. Then, you and your stylist will put together a whole bunch of outfits to try one! Let the fun begin!

3.) Try It All On!

[show_shopthepost_widget id=”3252764″]

Then comes the fun part…you get to try everything on! Your stylist will hand you the outfits they put together, and they will also be more than happy to offer any opinions and suggestions. I had so much fun trying on the different outfits my stylist put together. I wouldn’t have even bothered to try this jacket, so I am so happy my stylist suggested it! It turned out to be my favorite item of the day.

4.) Place Your Order or Add to Your Wishlist

Once you’re done trying on your outfits, you and your stylist will chat a little more about what you liked and didn’t like. You can then add items to your shopping cart or put them on your wishlist for later. The big perk of shopping in store is not only getting to try things on before you buy, but you’ll also get free express shipping right to your door! And if you’re lucky, you might stumble on a coupon when you’re in store too.

So, you won’t be able to take the items home with you that moment, but you’ll get super fast, free shipping!

My Thoughts on Shopping at a ModCloth FitShop

I had a blast shopping at the ModCloth Washington, D.C. FitShop! It was incredibly dangerous, haha! This is because it was a great opportunity to see things in person that I was too afraid to order online, as I wasn’t sure if I would love them (especially shoes – I have a really hard time ordering shoes online).

[show_ms_widget id=”36006704″ image_id=”41869298″ width=”780″ height=”520″] Those oxblood loafers are currently sitting in my shopping cart now! They fit my wide feet and were super comfortable.

Also, it opened my eyes to products I had seen on the website, that I didn’t think looked all that great. For example, the cute, cactus purse below is SO much cuter in person than it is on the website. Honestly, when I saw it on the website, I thought it looked rather cheap, but seeing it in person…oh man, I fell in love.

[show_ms_widget id=”36006705″ image_id=”41869299″ width=”780″ height=”520″]

Shop Local

I also thought it was nice that ModCloth was trying to feature small, local businesses. My stylist was telling me how a very talented jewelry maker was selling her handmade pieces in the store earlier that week. (I think they had all sold out by the time I got there!) There was also a local plant store selling succulents and bouquets. ( I think they were leftover from earlier in the week – fresh shipment coming on Monday!)

What I Found at the ModCloth DC FitShop

I found entirely too many cute things at the ModCloth Washington, D.C. FitShop! Like I said this was dangerous… Feel free to also click on any photos below to go to the products on ModCloth’s website!

[show_ms_widget id=”36006706″ image_id=”41869300″ width=”800″ height=”1000″]

Absolutely loved this dress…didn’t realize I needed it until I went into the store, haha. It’s true-to-size and so comfy and soft!

[show_ms_widget id=”36006707″ image_id=”41869301″ width=”800″ height=”1000″]

It was so much fun to finally try this galaxy dress on too! It looked way better on than I expected. It seemed like the arm holes were a little big on me, though. I’m not sure if I’d feel comfortable wearing it without a cardigan (because you could see my bra from the side). But gosh, I really liked it!

[show_ms_widget id=”36006708″ image_id=”41869302″ width=”800″ height=”1000″]

And how GORGEOUS are all these heels? I have the gold pair already, but I really want the middle pair with the flower! (The grey sparkly pair would be wonderful for a wedding.)

[show_ms_widget id=”36006709″ image_id=”41869303″ width=”780″ height=”520″]

Yep…totally bought this mustard bag I’ve been talking about nonstop. I’m SO excited!

My ModCloth FitShop Shopping Bag

So, the widget below is everything that I added to my bag…(Whoops!)

[show_shopthepost_widget id=”3252750″]

Bottom line…

If you happen to be near a ModCloth FitShop, by all means – go to it! You’ll have so much fun! But be sure to set a budget before you go, as it’s awfully tempting to buy the entire store once you see it in person! (And update your wishlist before making an appointment!)

There were many different things I wanted to be when I grew up and astronomer was among my list of dream professions at 6 years old. I loved looking at the stars and learning the constellations. Turns out, though, there’s a bit more to being an astronomer than that…and I’m terrible at science. So, being an astronomer never really worked out.

However, a dress with a galaxy print brings up fond memories of my first telescope and those funny dreams of one day making a living by gazing through it. I’ve been drooling over this dress for years. I finally ordered it after I tried it on at ModCloth’s FitShop when I was in Washington, D.C. a while back. It was SO cute in person, and I even had random strangers commenting on how cute it looked when I came out of the dressing room. Needless to say, that was all the motivation I need to click “add to cart.”

However, I swear when I tried this dress on in DC, it was more fitted. Or perhaps I’ve lost weight (highly unlikely as the rest of my clothing fits normally) or maybe I had tried on a small or maybe I just have a really bad memory? Whatever it may be, my normal size medium is just a little baggy on me. I felt the need to add a belt with it. I honestly think sizing up would’ve been too tight through the bust on me, though, as that fits comfortably.

Even when I tried it on in DC, though, I did notice the armholes have a bit of a gap to them. Which means I’ll have to get a little creative with the bra I wear once it’s too warm to wear this dress with a cardigan.

But all that aside – I love this dress. It’s fantastic quality, it HAS POCKETS and it’s a one of a kind piece. (Who doesn’t want to grow up and dress like Ms. Frizzle?!) I can’t wait to try styling it again. For this time around, I wanted to pair it with my sparkly cardigan and boots because I haven’t had a ton of chances to style this cardigan yet… and it’s a big slushy mess on the streets of Moscow, so I really need to wear my boots!

Reminder about these boots, they are amazing and everything I ever wanted in a black boot. However, you really should consider sizing up a half size. I can’t fit a thick sock in them because my normal size 8 is too tight of a fit otherwise.

The jewelry I chose is not necessarily space-related, although, I like to think my earrings have an other-worldly look to them. My husband had surprised me with this jewelry not long ago as a “just because” gift. He had seen me admiring this lady’s work when we were at the market a couple months ago. He went back and bought it for me. (She handmakes these little ballerina necklaces & the matching earrings and sells them at Izmailovsky Market!) I love it! Isn’t he the best?

This turned out to be the perfect outfit for a trip to the Museum of Cosmonautics here in Moscow! Full post on that will be coming on Monday! (Funny enough, that cute, blue, space mural I did these outfit photos by has nothing to do with this museum – it just happens to be behind one of my favorite coffee shops in the city. Haha.)

What did you want to be when you grew up? Would you buy a dress related to it? Or is that just me? Haha. Let me know in the comments!

Where to find it:

Dress: c/o* ModCloth Cardigan: c/o* ModCloth Boots: Nordstrom (Size up a half size!) Belt: Amazon Sunglasses: Old (Similar here) Jewlery: Gift from my husband Bag: ModCloth (This exact color is no longer available)

*c/o = courtesy of, meaning the company gave me the product to be used on my blog, and I did not pay for it. All opinions are my own, and I am not being compensated for a positive review.

This @ModCloth dress is out of this world! Plus, it's available in sizes XXS - 4X! (How awesome is that?) Dress c/o* | Cardigan c/o* | Boots | Bag | Belt | Sunglasses (Similar) There were many different things I wanted to be when I grew up and astronomer was among my list of dream professions at 6 years old.
