Month: March 2016

For this Stitch Fix I requested a few things: patched elbows, a tote bag that would be stylish and still work for a mom, dressy joggers and spring colors! Kristen M was my stylish again and her note read: “Hi Kristin, it’s always great to see you back for another Fix and I love reading your comments on the blog, so fun! I was incredibly happy when I saw the Honey Punch striped cardigan was available It has patched elbows just like you requested and looks great with the Papermoon cotton top and skinny jeans. Just throw your daily essentials into the Street Level tote. We didn’t have and true “dressy joggers” but I did pull these printed straight leg pants by Lysse. Pair them with the Papermoon top or coral Skies and Blue blouse. Enjoy your new Fox! xo, Kristen M.”

Gelsey Crochet Blouse – $58

This shirt is ok…I love the color but am not a fan of the length or cut. It is a little boxy, and made my waist look bigger than it should. Up close, the feminine details are gorgeous (complete with an eyelet hook top…you know, to hook on every single piece of crochet as you try to put it on), but the femininity alone could not sell me. It has a Cotton/Nylon shell and Polyester lining and is hand washable.

Verdict: Returned

Cassie Printed Cuffed Straight Leg Pant – $98

I’m afraid there is not one good thing I can say about these pants… First, the size were too big for me…they fell off my waist and were crazy baggy in the legs. These pants are very heavy- they are a Polyester blend, which feel much more like the thick, heavy 70’s polyester than the polyester of the last few decades. All in all the pattern, heaviness, and fit all reminded me of something my grandma would wear (and I mean that in the nicest way possible, my grandma was as stylish lady…just not me kind of stylish). Most definitely not me… The plus for anyone who digs these? They are machine washable.

Verdict: Returned- DEFINITELY Returned

Lenox Shoulder Detail Top – $54

This top is cute…very spring and summer! The color is almost a light/off denim and one shoulder has two buttons to close. I like that the back is completely open, and feel this shirt could go with so many things in my closet…layered with a tank when it’s warmer- shielded with a sweater in cooler temps. I also like that the neckline is perfect for all sorts of necklace options! It is 100% Cotton and machine washable.

Verdict: Returned- ONLY because I could not justify the price on a tank

Harlan Removable Pocket Reversible Tote- $68

Adorable tote! Love the colors- both of them- and the fact it is both reversible and has a removable clutch. The problem, for me, is that there are no zipper compartments or pockets for me to separate anything in the bag. I’m pretty particular about where things are in my purse, so that I can find things when I am looking for them. Otherwise, I loved this bag!

Verdict: Returned

Layla Elbow Patch Detail Cardigan – $48

There is nothing I don’t love about this sweater! The patched elbows are exactly I was looking for, and I am a major sucker for cardigans. The stripes are wide enough to not be nauseating, and the grayish-blue color offsets perfectly with the off-white. A MAJOR win by Kristen on this one. It is a blend and it machine washable…yes!

Verdict: Kept- Of course!

Can’t wait until April!! If you have any suggestions of what to ask for, shoot me a message…I am always up to try new styles!!

A note about Stitch Fix:

It’s a super easy to use service…you fill out a style profile, choose the prices you would be willing to pay per each item type, and decide how often you want to get styled. You have the option of setting up your own Stitch Fix Pinterest board that your stylist can look at while styling you. A stylist from Stitch Fix will then be your own personal stylist for however often you choose to receive a box, sending you 5 items based on your style profile, Pinterest board, and personal instructions. If you purchase an item, the $20 service fee goes towards it, if you keep all 5 items, they take 25% off, or you can send all the items back and they only keep the $20.
