Stitch Fix #3

Since my birthday is coming up I thought I would get me another Stitch Fix.  I was excited to open the box and find some nice spring pieces.  If you want to know more about Stitch Fix you can read here and here.

Renee C
Gabe Striped Maxi Skirt

I have a few maxi skirts so this wasn't anything new to me, plus it had horizontal stripes and I hate them going across my butt!  So this was not a keeper.

Papermoon
Waters Diamond Print Maxi Dress

 I knew I was going to like this item right away.  I am in need of more dresses.  It also was very comfortable and it had some elastic around the waist so I am not just wearing a sack.  It was also the perfect length.  I kept this dress for sure!

Splendid
Ruben Tab-Sleeve Open Cardigan

 This looked great and felt great but it was so expensive (for me anyway)  I couldn't bring myself to purchase a cardigan for what they were asking.  I did not keep this one.

41 Hawthorn
Freddy Sleeveless Chiffon Dress

 I know the 80s are back but I could not pull this off.  Did not like the color, fabric and it was too short.  Not a keeper!

Mia Melon
Paloma Back Cutout Jersey Top

 I loved this shirt, it felt nice and the cut was great.

  

 The back was also cool.  But I would have to always wear a shirt underneath because I don't like to show to much skin.  Did not keep the shirt.

So I got one dress from this stitch.  Overall it has been a fun process and I might get another fix sometime in the summer and slowly build a wardrobe.  I have loved the items I have gotten each time and when I wear them I definitely feel more put together.  Also Stitch Fix has given me ideas when I go out shopping and trying on clothing that I might have not tried before.

New Flexi for March

Stitch Fix #2

My First Stitch Fix was pretty fun so I thought I would try it again.  They said the more I try the better the clothes would fit my personal style.  I would say this box was good but a couple things didn't fit me.  Also the prices were a little higher than I like to spend, but I think that will always be the case.  

Here is my box and I got a little extra gift for ordering in November.  If you want to read more about how Stitch Fix works visit my previous post or the website.

Papermoon
Wynn Ikat Print Front Pocket Blouse

 When I opened my box I saw this shirt first.  It is a sheer shirt and would need to have something worn underneath it.  I am not a huge layering person, I get hot in lots of clothing.  But I tried it on a few times with a light tank underneath and it was pretty cute.  I decided to keep this one and I wore it twice this last weekend.

41Hawthorn
Cherise Tab Sleeve Henley

This is my first item that did not fit me, even the last box everything had a pretty good fit.  It was a little tight on the arms and in the chest but I loved the color so I was sad it did not fit.

41Hawthorn
Corinna Striped Dolman Top

I was not sure on this shirt if it was fitting properly.  The top was nice and the sleeves were cute but the bottom half was to baggy, maybe over leggings would have been cute.  I am also not a fan of horizontal lines.  I decided not to get it because I didn't absolutely love it.

Katherine Barclay
Brannan Hooded French Terry Jacket

The fabric on this jacket was super soft and felt great on.  It had really cute zippers on the sleeves and the front zipper could be opened at the bottom so you wouldn't feel like you are in a sleeping bag, because it was pretty long.  I did not get this jacket mainly because of price and I just purchased a jacket.  Also I am kinda short and it drowned me.

Just Black
Adora Skinny Jean

I have a booty and short legs so this is what I feel like I look like in a skinny jean.......

So I did not get the jeans either.

I love trying on new clothes that I would probably not even give a glance at in the store.  Also this experience has opened my eyes to different silhouettes I can try not just t-shirt and jeans.  I am going to take a Stitch Fix break for the holidays.  

I think I will try and get a box every season change so see ya in the spring for my next Stitch Fix Post.  I do post other things on my blog so come back before that.

Lilla Rose has released a new flexi clip for this month.  

Check it out on My Personal Lilla Rose Website.

My 1st Stitch Fix

I am not a very fashionable person.  I secretly wished that someone would sign me up for the TV show What Not To Wear.  But that show is on its last season so I won't be counting on that.  I am a t-shirt and jean girl, but I am getting tired of that.  I think I can still be comfortable just a little more put together.  No one really taught me how to dress, my mom was older when she had me and never thought about clothes.  All my sisters were older and moved out in a crucial part of my life to help me with fashion sense.  So here I am in my thirties and have no style of my own.  

I don't have much time to shop for myself.  When I am out shopping it is either for the kids or for food.  It seems when I have the money and time I wander around the store and find clothing items too expensive or too trendy.

I was blog hopping one day and I started reading a post about a woman who was talking about Stitch Fix.

 Stitch Fix is pretty cool.  You sign up here and they ask you a bunch of questions of styles you like and then you pay $20 for a stylist to put together a Stitch Fix box for you!  In the box are five items and 3 days to decide if you like the clothing they picked.  If you like the clothes you can keep them all and your $20 will go to your amount spent and plus 25% off the whole box.  If you only want to keep one or two items the $20 also goes toward your purchase.  The clothes you don't keep you send back within 3 business days in a provided prepaid envelope.  You just drop in the mail box, that easy.  

I was so excited to get my first Stitch Fix.  You can schedule your fixes or get set up for a monthly box.  I decided to schedule mine to see if I liked it first.  I could not stop thinking about what was going to be sent to me!  

Along with each clothing item is a little picture of some outfits you can compose with the one clothing item.  Because I need all the help I can get.  You can sign up for jewelry items, but I said no to that option because I need more clothes.  But if they offered shoes I would be in heaven.  

These are the items I got.  

Items were priced between $30-$88 each

  Shara Herringbone Vest with Black Piping.

This was cute, but a little pricey for me.  My girls loved it, but my husband said I looked like an old lady so this was a no!

Dashiell Raglan Lurex Sleeve Sweater

Loved the color and the sparkly sleeves.  Again above my price bracket, especially since the fabric was like rayon and nothing special.  So I did not choose this item. 

Alan Cowl Neck Asymmetrical Jacket

Loved this one, and it looks better on then on the hanger.  I love the green color and the zipper on the side.  I was on the fence if I should get this one, because of the price.  But I figured I would wear it a ton in the fall and winter.  And I think that is one of my fashion rut problems is that I see clothes and then the price tag and I don't even try them on because of how much they cost.  I am hoping from this experience that I will be able to purchase some unique, timeless pieces to build up my wardrobe.  I also think if maybe I spent a little more on clothes they might be better made and last longer, just some thoughts.

I purchased this item and wore it and felt great in it all day.

Ashor Mixed Material Sweater

Got this one for sure and the price was good.  Fun sweater that I could wear a lot.

The back is the best.  

Has a chiffon like fabric in the back looks nice 

when I am coming and going.

Shanae Printed Tie Waist Dress

I have never tried on a Tie Waist Dress.  

I liked it, but it was a little short.  

I think the price was good for a dress.

I really think that I might have bought the whole box if this dress had fit me better.  Really all the clothes were super nice and felt and fitted great.  I enjoyed my Stitch Fix experience I have already set up for another one next month.  

Forgot to mention after you get your box and try on everything you go and give the stylist your fed back on everything.  Did you like the color, the fit and style, etc.  They say the more fixes you get the better they get.
