Keaton Row Question

[Deleted]

I was wondering the same thing, so I took the "want to be a stylist quiz" and it certainly didn't seem like you needed to be experienced (although there were questions about whether you're interested in). Also, there seemed to be a strong emphasis on networks -- which makes sense from a money-making perspective but on the other hand it made it seem like knowing a lot of people was just as important as knowing anything about clothes.

I have a sneaking suspicion that some of the SAHMs I've blocked from my Facebook feed who post constantly about jewelry parties and that mascara will soon be Keaton Row stylists....

Here's the short answer:

I applied and was accepted.

Also, my twitter/FB is safe from solicitation posts from me. I'd rather style people I don't know so if they hate my lookbooks life isn't all awkward when we interact. LOL.

I think you have to have 10 successful styles (or purchases?) before you get a commission. But I could be making that up.

PM me your info once you're up and running! You can style me!

Only if you promise not to shame me on the boards if you hate my ideas

You do have to fill out a profile...and I tried to describe mine accurately. I said that I'm a 12/14 sized working mom who likes to look nice, but really values comfort. I thought that might set me apart....a lot of what I've seen is heels, heels, heels. I can't remember the last time I wore heels and I'd be frustrated if every outfit I received was paired with heels, or something that made it hard to chase my 2yo

Out of curiosity, did you have to submit looks or anything like that to be accepted, or did your description of yourself suffice?

Nope, you don't have to submit anything. You just fill out the personal about me part, and then answer the questions they have. There is definitely no application process to it- they accept everyone.

Interesting, thanks for sharing!  I hope you enjoy your experience!

So why not put together look books for cash while at work? LOL.

(idea)

BRILLIANT.

NP!

I put together my first look book today. This is going to be bad for my wallet. I like a lot of the stuff I've seen, and since I don't usually shop at the stores they feature, I'm going to end up seeing/buying stuff I never would have otherwise. lol

 I would imagine that's part of their business model 

[iamali]

The stylist that was pimped all over S&B yesterday must be in HEAVEN.

[rex]

i signed up to make lookbooks for myself. i have no plans to make money though i wouldn't complain!

[spitforspat]

Wait. Can I become a stylist, make a look book, then buy it as a customer and make money?? Because I want to make money by buying things.

[noodleskooze]

jenny1980 you can do one for me! My "stylist" hasn't sent me anything!

Ahhh! This is fun! I'm already accepted LOL.

Someone let me build a look book for you (not through their website/to buy from, just something I will post a picture of). I need something to work with.

Build one for me! I am a SAHM of two very young kids and so sick of yoga pants but still need comfortable and able to be on the floor and carrying babies. Please make me look put together! I am a 12/14 if the size matters.

I will take all the look books I can get, lol.

[my4girls]

Alright- so someone who's signed up to be a stylist- what kind of commison do you get?

[irishbride2]

I need "Casual cocktail" looks. We get invited to a lot of charity events that are called "Casual cocktail" and after attending many I still have no flipping clue what the means.

[Miss Phryne Fisher]

I read PinkTruth and there was a post about it recently in the discussion section. It is a non-inventory MLM based on recruiting just like all the others. If you don't sell $350 in a month, you don't get anything.

I like that blue dress, but it looks like it is sold out at the Nordstrom website.  And I've seen other lookbooks with unavailable items in them.  How does that work?  Can Keaton Row get them anyway?

I was mad bc two of the tank tops I really wanted ended up being sold out. It let me put my order in and then sent me an email saying they had to cancel it. I've been seeing that happen with lots of others too-such a bummer it's not up to date.

Um. I signed up. lol. And I'm absolutely not a fashion expert, or anything even resembling one.

But I think their tools are cool, and I thought it might be fun. I'll probably play around with it a little, make lookbooks for people who give me permission to, and if they buy something, great. Even if they don't I'm hoping to learn new ways to style things and to put things together by using their software

I am so curious to know what the commission schedule is like when you are a stylist? My girl spent a lot of time on my lookbook and I only ordered 2 things. I was wondering how much she stands to make for her work.

Yay fun!

What kind of stuff do you want? Budget?

Some work clothes, but mostly casual, running errands type clothes. Cheap as possible haha. I tend to avoid dresses and skirts, but maybe throw in a couple to see if I find something I like.

[adlove]

So did we figure out if it's possible to just buy from your own lookbooks and get commission? I'm intrigued.

Something to keep in mind:

If you sign up for UPromise and get their credit card, you'll get 10% back on all Nordstrom purchases (if you do UPromise without their credit card, you'll get 5% back).

ASOS often has 10% off $75 coupons.

So you can save 10% even without a "commission," and with lower earning thresholds (I think someone upthread said that if you sell $150 a month of stuff on Keaton Row you get no commission?  10% off an order of $75 or more beats that!)
