With the amount of shopping sites out there, finding pieces that fit your personal style can sometimes be challenging. You have to do major digging to uncover unique brands that are perfect for you. Then came a new online shopping platform, The Yes; the site quite literally lets you click "yes" or "no" on pieces, and the more you click, the smarter the algorithm becomes in picking clothes, shoes, and accessories that are perfect for you. You can also select your favorite brands and preferred sizes, so you won't even see items that aren't available with your specific preferences.
My fellow shopping editor Krista Jones and I put The Yes to the test for a month, and we both agree it's incredibly useful and fun to shop on. Each of our feeds looks significantly different because we have our own personal styles. As far as brands go, the site has a big variety, from more affordable brands like Anthropologie and Madewell to high-end designers like Bottega Veneta and Altuzarra.
If you're curious to see what shopping editors would buy on The Yes, we'll walk you through our personal picks (with photos, of course!) and how we discovered each piece. From a colorful jumpsuit to a timeless brown bag, there are options for every taste. Oh, and bonus points? When you create an account, you're automatically enrolled in YES Funds, which allows you start earning 10 percent back on every purchase. The more you shop, the more you are able to earn. Then, you decide how you want to use your funds: you can apply it to a new purchase or donate it to a rotating charity the brand is supporting.
Keep reading to get our thoughts, then do some shopping for yourself. With spring around the corner, it's the perfect time for a wardrobe refresh.

What Macy Bought: A Vibrant Floral Jumpsuit
The Purchase: Farm Rio Colorful Sunflowers Jumpsuit ($210)
Why This Piece Is a Shopping Win: I will always be a sucker for bold prints, which is why I selected Farm Rio as one of my favorite brands when I signed up for The Yes. As soon as I spotted this jumpsuit, I added it to my cart because I knew I could wear it many different ways. The material is a great quality, and it arrived ay my doorstep very quickly.
How to Style This Piece: In my photo, I have this jumpsuit on with boots and a pink headband, but I would also dress it down by rolling up the legs and wearing it with sneakers. The loose fit makes it comfortable for days when I have a lot going on and just want to be comfy. With such a vibrant print, I don't need to accessorize too much; I let the design speak for itself.
How The Yes Helped Me Find This Gem: When I opened up The Yes a couple weeks ago and looked at my feed, this jumpsuit popped up at the very top — it's exactly my style and comes in my size. I was impressed that the site had Farm Rio's new arrivals that were just released. The whole process is proof that The Yes understands what I love to shop for.

What Macy Bought: An On-Trend Beaded Bag
The Purchase: Mango Beaded Baguette Bag ($80)
Why This Piece Is a Shopping Win: My birthday is coming up, and I wanted a special, out-of-the-ordinary bag to go with my celebratory outfit. I typed "pink purse" into The Yes's search, and this design showed up — with an affordable price tag for all that intricate beading, I knew it was a keeper.
How to Style This Piece: I'll be wearing this trendy bag with a feather top and pink skirt, but I would also gladly use it while wearing jeans and a classic white tee. I'm pleased with the amount of space inside for all my necessities. Carrying this bag is an easy way to add personality to an outfit.
How The Yes Helped Me Find This Gem: When I search for terms like "pink bag" on The Yes, my life is so much easier because only purses in my style show up. I don't have to sift through a bunch of other options I would never consider. The entire process of discovering and purchasing this bag took under 15 minutes.

What Krista Bought: Knit Top and Bestselling Faux-Leather Pants
The Purchase: Alohas Pleasant Corset Knit Top Black ($104) and Wilfred by Aritzia Melina Pant ($148)
Why These Pieces Are a Shopping Win: I had been shopping the Melina Pants for weeks on Aritzia's website, and every color was sold out in my size. To my surprise, The Yes had a few pairs, and I chose a chic olive shade. This is the only platform that sells Aritzia pieces outside of its own site, and I was blown away.
How to Style These Pieces: I couldn't just leave with a pair of pants — I wanted a whole new look. As I was browsing the site and clicking "yes" on various tops, I ended up stumbling upon this knit tank and knew it was the perfect piece to match with my faux-leather pants. Each piece was a great investment because I can style them on their own or together. They both look great with sneakers, heels, booties — you name it.
How The Yes Helped Me Find These Gems: When I first signed up for The Yes, it prompted me to select my favorite brands, and when Wilfred (an Aritzia brand) popped up, I was surprised. I love all its timeless pieces and instantly started shopping. I was shocked to see it had the pants I wanted in my size. I wouldn't have found this pair without its handy sign-on question format.

What Krista Bought: A Classic Brown Purse
The Purchase: By Far Miranda Wood Suede Leather ($685, out of stock)
Similar Style: By Far Miranda Nutella Croco Embossed Leather ($685)
Why This Piece Is a Shopping Win: I'm a big fan of By Far bags, which you've likely seen on Instagram or your favorite blogger. The midlevel designer bags have been at the top of my wish list for months, so when I found this Miranda Suede Bag on sale, I couldn't believe it. I knew I needed it. It's since sold out, but the site carries it in this brown and white croc choice and patent-leather choice.
How to Style This Piece: Ever since it arrived in the mail, I've been rocking mine with just about anything. It looks great with jeans and a turtleneck, but I especially love styling it on a night out. I most recently wore it with an LBD and knee-high boots.
How The Yes Helped Me Find This Gem: After I signed up for The Yes, By Far was one of the brand's I "Yes'd", including this bag. I then kind of forgot about it and one day received an email it was on sale. It was a great deal, and I snagged it right away. I love that this site does the sale searching for you.
