Ah- September is here and the end of summer is giving way to my very favorite season- FALL! I will have two September fixes to share with you all this month- one to bring an end to all of the fun summer looks and another to begin the fall fashions of layers and cool weather.
The first September Fix (which was actually a couple of weeks ago- excuse the delay) included a note from Kristen M (my all-star stylist) the read:
“Hi Kristin, it is always such a pleasure to style you and see your comments up on your blog! Thank you for continuing to leave positive feedback, we really appreciate it! I saw a lot of blue denim on your Pinterest board but I wanted to spruce up your closet a little with these olive Pistola skinny pants. The “motto” detail really gives this classic piece a lot of edge and the color is perfect for transitioning into fall. Wear the pants with the Fun2Fun embroidered top for a nice date night. All you need is heels and a small clutch. Or you can wear the pants more casually with the colorful Pixley mixed material top. I also pulled the purple Gilli knit dress for you to wear with ankle boots and a denim jacket for an easy go-to fall ensemble. As always, have fun! xo, Kristen M.”
Gilli Kamile Knit Dress – $54
This dress, while very cute, unfortunately reminded me of the styles that were big in High School- the ruched bust and high waist, and even the (very pretty) bright color. It brought back one too many memories of dances and Catholic-school rules (haha). The 95% Viscose/5% Spandex is hand washable material was a plus but not a redemption.
Verdict- Returned
Pixley Hawn Mixed Material Top- $54 & Pistola Audrey Moto Detail Skinny Pant – $88
These motto pants are a fabulous color and the detail on the knee gave just the right amount of spunk to an otherwise regular-old pant. I appreciate that Kristen noticed the amount of plain jean I’ve been pinning and wanted to expand my horizons. The cut of these, as cute as they were on, just didn’t feel right – the waist a bit too high and the the length just a tad too short. I will say that the material (a cotton blend) is crazy soft for a pant, which I really liked.
The top is awesome- full of vibrant color in the 100% Polyester front and grey jersey in the Polyester blend back. The small peep hole is also a fun detail. I must say I was tempted to keep this top, which is hand washable, but my inner budget-conscious fashionista already owns one super similar (and less expensive) from Target.
Verdict- Returned (Both)
Pixley Alicia Printed Pencil Skirt – $48
This skirt is an all around winner! One- I’m still on the mission to wear more skirts and dresses. Two- It is black and white which means I have a whole closet full of goodies that will look good with it. Three- It has a pattern and length that a perfect for all seasons. Four- The XXXXX fabric is stretchy and fits perfect in all the right places.
Verdict- Kept (Easy one!)
Fun2Fun Hollyanne Embroidered Top- $54
This top is adorable- for sure. The detail is a really pretty shade of burgundy, which really pops from the off-white of the Rayon (hand washable) material of the shirt. The boho style is definitely in, and the length is perfect- but for some reason I wasn’t totally sold.
Verdict- Returned
September Fix- Fall Edition will be coming your way next week. Stay tuned!!
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.
