Stitch Fix- May

YAY!! Another Stitch Fix shipment!

I ripped open the box at work and went through all the goodies with my coworker. She had a kick out of me trying to figure out how one of the shirts goes on. It was a duh moment. But we went through it all there so I couldn’t want to try everything on when I was at home.

This time I had Price’s assistance in taking photos and live feedback. So here goes…

Majorie Baer- Singular Spear Earrings- $38

Sitich Fix- Majorie Baer- Singular Spear Earrings

Love these. I love hammered jewelry. It reminds me of a punch of pieces I saw back in Greece when I was there a few years back and makes regret not just splurging for them. So it was pretty obvious that once I saw them I decide to keep them.

Ella Moss- Ken Sleeveless Striped Top- $68

Stitch Fix-Ella Moss- Ken Sleeveless Striped Top

nope. nope. nope.

Which is why it is not photographed on me. I didn’t like the fit, the material, or the basic structure of the top. I liked the colors and the angle of the stripes though.

Plus, it was way too expensive for what it was. It reminded me of a shirt I would find in Forever 21 for $16 or so. So when I found it’s twin online I almost peed my pants laughing since that was listed for $118. So good job Stitch Fix for selling it for $68 but even then- no.

Honey Punch- Catie Printed Dress- $48

 Stitch Fix- Honey Punch- Catie Printed Dress

I liked this dress. Price did not. Well, he wasn’t sold on the pattern since I don’t typically wear things like this but I liked the length (with leggings), the fit, and the neckline. I like cross front/wrap dresses so for a while I was thinking I’d keep it. I’d prob add a belt to it and love it more.

Matty M- Baxter Keyhole Peasant Blouse- $88

Stitch Fix- Matty M- Baxter Keyhole Peasant Blouse

I liked this. Price liked this too. I was saying I would keep it until I pulled up the invoice again and saw it was $88. I think that if fall, winter were approaching I would have kept it since I liked the color, fit, material, texture but I think I wouldn’t put it to good use this spring, summer.

(Ignore the hanger straps showing- whoops)

Black Sheep- Miley Floral Pleated Tie-Waist Dress – $58

Stitch Fix-Black Sheep- Mily Floral Pleasted Tie-Waist Dress

I wan’t sold on the pattern of this dress when I took it out of the box. But I’m learning not to judge a book by it’s cover. At least in this case.

I liked the length and how flowy it was so it grew on me. I liked that it came with a layering cami since it is a bit low cut (dang these boobs!) so that was a plus. I’m still not sold on the pattern but I figure once I’m tan (oh summer, I miss you) I’ll like it more.

____________________

So what does all that mean?

I decided to keep the earrings and floral dress.

The grand total: $38 + $58 – $20 (prepaid styling fee)= $76. 🙂

I scheduled my next fix for June 13th. Can’t wait for it!

Stitch Fix- April (2)

Since I just kept 1 item (an awesome necklace that I wear all the time now!) from my last Stitch Fix box I decided to do another Stitch Fix order for the month of April so I moved up my date and my package arrived on Monday.

This package was a hit and I like/loved everything in this box but fit and price dictated what i kept. I decided to keep 2 of the 5 items.

Here are my reviews for each item:

BCBGeneration- Monarch Flutter Sleeve Dress- $98.00

Stitch Fix_April 2_BCBGeneration Dress

Oh this dress! I picked it up and fell in love with it- loved the color, material, price, length, neckline. I was eager to try it on to see how it would fit.

Thankfully, it fit really well so I decided to keep it. I liked the V-neck shape and how it had a button to keep the pieces together. In about 2 weeks I have a little end of project cocktail reception for the project I’ve been working on for the past 2 years and I plan on wearing this dress.

41 Hawthorn- Orinda Stretch Banded Leggings- $48.00

 Stitch Fix_April 2_Leggings

Nice fit but a little too long. Such is the problem for someone who is 5′- 2″ish. Plus, I just bought 2 pairs of legging so I decided not to keep them.

I didn’t photograph myself in them since they are just leggings. I just did us all a favor.

Mystree- Kameron Pleated Detail Tank Top- $68.00

Stitch Fix_April 2_Sheer Blouse 1

I got my Stitch Fix on Monday and wore this top on Tuesday. WITH the necklace that I got in my last shipment!!

Stitch Fix_April 2_Sheer Blouse 2

So obviously I loved it. I didn’t think I would when I first took it out of the box since it’s 1) a blouse 2) sheer 3) white. However the fact that it was flowy made up for the fact that it was a button down blouse. It was sheer but they included a tank with it and it worked well since it had thin straps- which my tanks don’t normally have. It was white but I took the risk anyway and was super careful anytime I ate or drank anything.

THML Sloan Colorblock Tank Dress- $58.00

Stitch Fix_April 2_Color Block Dress

When I opened the box and saw this dress I was soooo excited. I loved the colors, material, detail at the neckline. The price was great too at $68. I just love dresses that look like this.

Unfortunately, it is a shift dress and they just don’t fit me as well as an A-line dress. So no-go. Which is why I didn’t photograph me wearing it. eh

Kensie- Orson Striped Slub Knit Sweater- $58.00

Stitch Fix_April 2_Sweater

I liked this sweater but I didn’t at the same time. Like the colors, texture, short sleeves, but I didn’t feel the stripes were doing my any favors.

____________________

My total was $146. Had I kept the sweater (+$58) it would have been $204 and I just could not justify that for 3 things. However, had the Color Block Dress (also $58) fit I would have kept everything since the total for all 5 would have been $232.50 since that would have included the 25% off discount you get when you purchase all 5 items.

I scheduled my next fix for mid May. I told my stylist the following…

More accessories please. I love the necklace I got in my 2nd fix.
Like the dresses that have been coming, but no shirt or shift dresses please. Like wrap and A-line.
I like maxi skirts. NOT maxi dresses
