Stitch Fix #3

So for those of you who don't know.... StitchFix is an online personal shopping experience! You get your own stylist who handpicks 5 items just for you! There's a $20 styling fee but it's a credit towards your fix! And if you decided to keep everything in your box there's a 25% discount! But if you only like one or two things, it's free return shipping!

Well... lets just say third time isn't quite the charm. I liked this box but I was kinda of disappointed. I got three really cute tops but one was embarrassingly too small. Then there was this awful dress. Seriously it's what Anne Hathaway would wear in Devil Wears Prada before the makeover. And to top it off there was this dinky little leather wrap. So basically I have very mixed feelings about Fix #3. This time I had Miranda for a stylist!

Here's what I got:

Stitch Fix #3

1. CUTOUT DESIGN GOLD DETAIL BRACELET $28
2. BIRDIE TIE NECK SLEEVELESS BLOUSE $48
3. BEVIN FRONT TIE FEATHER PRINT BLOUSE $68
4. MADDY PONTE DRESS $58
5. MONI STUD DETAIL PRINTED TOP $58

Cutout Design Gold Detail Bracelet $28

Cutout Design Gold Detail Bracelet $28

This little leather cuff was cute. I liked the teal with the gold - one of my favorite color combinations. But the gold detail looked much too similar to the Tory Burch logo and I didn't like the idea of having a wannabe cuff. Plus I've tried on other leather cuffs in stores and this one just felt cheap. The quality of this wasn't worth the $28... maybe $10 or $15? I decided to send this one back. 

Birdie Tie Neck Sleeveless Bouse $48

I loved this blouse. It was light and breezy and the colors were great! That shade of green always looks great on me (time to deflate head immediately). It looked amazing with my orange skirt! I also liked it with my navy shorts and my navy skirt. And it looked polished with my dark wash jeans and tan riding boots. Needless to say, this one was a keeper!

Bevin Front Tie Feather Print Blouse $68

Oh this shirt was so pretty! It looked great with my black shorts and my black jeans! I liked that it was something I could wear throughout the year! It also looked great with my white skinny jeans and cowboy boots! But I loved it with my white shorts and silver jacks! Very versatile shirt! The fabric was a bit scratchy feeling, so if you have sensitive skin I wouldn't bother with it. And I know, I know, $68 for a blouse? A little expensive but then I thought about it and come on! Men's oxford shirts are way more expensive! And I can wear this year round! I kept this little gem!

Maddy Ponte Dress $58

Oh this was awful - so very awful. In the styling card they tried to call this the staple "Little Black Dress" ... uh no. I actually have two of those and this my friends, was not it. It was loose everywhere except my stomach. I mean come on - how is that even possible? It came down past my knees and gave me no shape at all. And the neckline was very conservative and for someone with no boobs that isn't exactly flattering. I came to realize that it was the typical funeral dress. I did not see any need to keep this one. 

Moni Stud Detail Printed Top $58

Sleeve of Moni Stud Detail Printed Top $58

I so so so wanted to keep this one! In my mind I kept saying "Come onnnnn keep it! You'll lose weight and it'll fit! It's not that awkward" but it was that awkward. No amount of weight loss would've made it fit right. I have an A-cup and it was skin tight around my chest with a sports bra. Maybe it was sized wrong? And the sleeves hit exactly at my elbow. Making any arm movements awkward. Which sucks because I loved the cuff detail! Sadly I did not keep this one. 

So that's it! That's my third Stitch Fix. I decided to wait a little bit to schedule my next fix. Give them a chance to get some new inventory. I also wrote a note asking them to please include some skirts. They keep supplying me with tops and dresses (which I'm grateful for) but I need something to wear all those tops with!

Stitch Fix #1

Stitch Fix #2

MY SECOND STITCH FIX

Ahhh... StitchFix numero dos! Eeek! So excited! It's rather addicting this StitchFix business! But things like this really do perk a girl up! Who needs gluten when ya got fashion?

So for those of you who don't know.... StitchFix is an online personal shopping experience! You get your own stylist who handpicks 5 items just for you! There's a $20 styling fee but it's credit towards your fix! And if you decided to keep everything in your box there's a 25% discount! But if you only like one or two things, it's free return shipping!

This time I had Jackie for a stylist! (Thought immediately went to the one and only Jackie O!) I love the personal little note she wrote for me!

"I had a great time styling for you today! I love the polka dot top by DownEast! Pair the Daniel Rainn top with skinny jeans and cute flats. The Peppermint dress has a preppy chevron print and is perfect for spring/summer! Have fun and I hope to style again for you! xo Jackie" 

Things like that really make ya smile! And it just makes a girl feel special to know that these really were picked just for me!

DownEast Tobi Cropped Lurex Cardigan - $58

Okay, first item on the list: DownEast Tobi Cropped Lurex Cardigan at a whopping $58

 Okay, This isn't really my style. I thought I would absolutely hate it but it wasn't so bad on. This is an extreme maybe. Main thing is: Do I really want to spend $58 on something I'm not crazy about? I'm not made of money people! I decided not to keep this one. 

Peppermint Dorthy Chevron Printed Dress - $58

 Alright, next on the list: The beautiful Peppermint Dorthy Chevron Printed Dress

  Okay, now this was the item that immediately drew my attention! I love patterns and chevron is one of my favorites! But thing is... this dress had such a weird fit. It felt awkward on top and great on the bottom. Looking at the photos... it looks good on top but awkward and bunchy on the bottom. Figures. But I love the cut in the back! Low backs are my weaknesses! I ended up keeping this dress - no regrets so far!

Moving on... the next thing was very pricey! Daniel Rainn Miri Crochet Detailed Sleeveless Top at a ridiculous $78.00!! What? Does money grown on trees somewhere?! 

Sadly I love love love this top! This is me to a T! I only put it with two skirts in the photos but I can imagine a million kajillion outfits with this top! And the fabric was so soft! Grrrr... WHY ARE YOU SO EXPENSIVE! .... and yes, I really am that awkward haha. But alas, I did not keep this item. 

Okay... the next thing is a pretty necklace! Thank you for the 41Hawthorn Triple Layer Bubble Necklace for $38.00! 

Ain't she a beauty? It's the cheapest thing on here but yowsa $38.00 for a necklace? But it went great with the cute chevron dress they sent me! But I can't decide whether to keep it or not. I mean, I already have 4 bubble necklaces but I don't have a pretty pink/peach one! And they've already got my twenty bucks! But I didn't keep it. Hope I made the right choice!

And last but not least is the DownEast Banks Sheer Dot Peter Pan Collar Top for $48.00

 

Now this isn't my usual style but I loved it when I unfolded it! And I loved it in the mirror! I felt cute and chic! Maybe a tad 50's stepford? Definitely felt preppy! But then the photos... whoa. I'm not so sure I love it anymore. I'm trying to keep it in perspective: I am just getting past a seriously rough cold/sinus infection so the Swollen Face Syndrome isn't permanent but still... I don't know if I'm a fan of this top. And I so so so wanted to be! I think the main things was the sheer material with the polka dots. I love sheer shirts. I love polka dotted shirts. I do not love sheer polka dotted shirts. The collar was adorable and the sleeves were just too cute! But I just couldn't keep it - back to SanFran it goes!

So that's it! That's my second StitchFix! And wowsa... pricey pricey pricey! Time to switch down to the cheapest bracket! But overall I was happy with it!

StichFix #1 ! 

MY FIRST STITCH FIX!

Hi! I received my first fix a little bit ago but I decided to share with you what I kept! So so so sorry I didn't think to photograph the other items! But have no fear - will never happen again!

Okay so for my first fix I had stylist Miranda! (Thoughts immediately went to the redhead on Sex & the City!)

Now $195.00 is a lot of money to a poor college student. If I could've I would've kept everything! But alas... I had to choose just one! And I know I picked the very best one! ... gah I'm getting corny with age! 

So I absolutely loved the Everly Bixby 3/4 Tab Sleeve Blouse!

Everly Bixby 3/4 Tab Sleeve Blouse - $58

And yes, those are birds on the shirt. Who on earth thought "Hey! Lets put some birds on a shirt!" I don't know but I absolutely love it! And I should mention that every piece of clothing comes with a styling card! 

So below is me wearing the shirt! Yes... I'm very photogenic! HAH! But I love this outfit! The necklace is from Urban Peach Boutique - they have great jewelry for even better prices! And the skirt is from Banana Republic circa seven years ago!! 

 So tada! That's pretty much my first fix!! If you're interested in trying this out for yourself, which I highly recommend, then click here to begin!
