bonita crochet dress

With June here and summer weather underway, I left my requests for my latest Fix wide open, telling my stylist to throw whatever she wanted to my way. I don’t usually do this but I really wasn’t feeling anything super specific, and figured a warm weather fashion boost was just what I needed.

Kristen M was still my stylist (absolutely love that they have kept her in place with my Fixes!!), and her note stated pretty simply that she gave me a variety of things that could be mixed and matched for the summer months. Upon opening my box, I have to say I was super excited just to see the colors (so me!!) and the mix match collection (mixing and matching makes your closet go so much farther, without the extra expense!!).

Bradfield Shoulder Pleat Top – $44

This top is beyond cute! I adore the shoulder detail and, despite it being sleeveless, can totally rock this to work without feeling uncomfortable. Though it looks like it is simply a pale gray or blue, it is actually slim navy seersucker, giving it a true summery vibe. This is one of those tops that would look cute with SO much- from skirts to jeans to shorts, and I can see it becoming a summer staple. Above I paired it with a white tank (there are small slits on the side that go just above my jean line, making the tank necessary for work), jeans, and a chunky Stella & Dot statement necklace. It is a Cotton/Nylon blend that can be hand washed.

Verdict- KEPT!

Fitzgerald Crochet Detail Top – $54

Fitzgerald Crochet Detail Top

The color and details of this top are spot on. Definitely not your everyday tank top, and just as easy to dress up as it is to dress down. I can totally see myself throwing this on for a day at the park (like shown above), or for a date night. The crochet back gives this cutie a touch of girly-girl, which I adore, and the fit is perfect. It is 100% Rayon and hand washable. So far, Kristen is on a roll!

Verdict- KEEPER!!

Nichola Printed Pencil Skirt – $58

I am really trying to wear more skirts and dresses, especially to work- it has become a personal goal of mine. Jeans are just so comfy and easy though, so I always find myself coming back. Because of this draw toward comfort and ease, this skirt is a perfect one for me- spandex stretchy pull on with no buttons or zippers, great color, perfect length, can go with a lot of the colors in my closet, can be worn with flip-flops or heels, etc. The pattern is cute too, giving just the right amount of detail! It is a Polyester blend that can be hand washed.

Verdict- Kept!

Andris Slit Shoulder Knit Top – $48

Andris Shoulder Slit Knit Top

There is nothing I don’t like about this top. Not one thing! The Rayon/Spandex blend is super soft, it is machine washable (yes!!), the shoulder slit is a perfect accent to a normal tank top, the color is the most brilliant blue, and the list goes on…This is yet another item that can totally be dressed up (seen above with the Walt Skirt and heels) or dressed down (also seen above with Old Navy jean shorts and flip-flops). Probably my most favorite piece from this Fix, I cannot wait to sport it this summer!

Verdict- Kept!! (Four out of four?!?!?!)

Cloey Crystal Gem Necklace – $38

Cloey Crystal Gem Necklace (shown with Bradfield Shoulder Pleat Top)

While I do think this necklace is super cute, I am pretty attached/loyal to Stella & Dot (and my girlfriends who sell it!). I feel like this piece actually resembles several of their collection. There are some major upsides to this necklace though. One- it is $38!?! A steal for such a cute piece! Two- with all four other pieces scoring as keepers, to not keep this necklace would actually cost me more than to keep it! (Remember that Stitch Fix gives you 25% your total if you keep all five pieces, saving me a total of $60.50 this go around) Besides, I will definitely wear it with some of the pieces included in this Fix, and think it will be fabulous with the little black dress I scored last Fix (Bonita Crochet Dress shown below)!!

Verdict- Kept

So, Kristen and I hit the jackpot this go around! Not only did I love this Fix, but paying a grand total of $161.50 for all five pieces (after my Fix credit and 25% off) is amazing! I cannot wait to see what Kristen has in store for my next fix!!

Stay tuned for July’s Fix! If you have any suggestions, I am always ready 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.

For my May Fix I requested pops of color, a spring blazer/cardigan, another try at a dress, and polka dots. I made sure to Pin lots of goodies as well, so that Kristen could get an idea of the styles I was shooting for. I was ready for some spring/summer goodies and a change up from my winter wardrobe routine. I got to keep Kristen as my stylist (love that!). My note from Kristen read:

“Hi Kristin, it’s great to see you back again! I’m happy you liked the joggers, I searched so hard for those and was really glad they worked out! Since the dresses didn’t work out I am sending two new ones for you to try. The coral Brixon Ivy faux wrap dress is perfect for spring and summer and will really compliment your blond hair. I also pulled this black crochet dress is also by Brixon Ivy. Classic but with a feminine twist. I know you are loving polka dots right now so I grabbed the Market & Spruce top for you to wear with jeans or capris this spring. Add a pop of color to your Walt skirt with the green Skies are Blue lace detail blouse and the floral print Pixley blazer. Both great staples for this time of year! Enjoy! Xo, Kristen M.”

Siene Blazer – $78

This jacket was super cute in theory – not if you asked my husband…he hated it. Unfortunately, it was too big for me and was missing a button when it arrived. I also felt the thin 100% Polyester felt almost too flimsy. It is machine washable, which is a major plus, but the way it was made wouldn’t have made it a ‘yes’ for me, even if it was my size and had the button.

Verdict- Returned

Niels Lace Yoke Blouse – $48

This top was a total winner!! The lace detail on the top is amazing, and the color is great! I’m a total sucker for green and agree with Kristen, that it would be awesome with my February fix Walt skirt! It is 100% Rayon and hand washable. I am pumped to wear this one for work and for play.

Verdict- Definite Keeper!

Colibri Polka Dot Print Top – $48

FullSizeRender — Colibri Polka Dot Print Top

I will give Kristen a definite ‘A’ for effort on this one. It’s funny how spot on she gets my style sometimes…this is the third Fix that has included something super close to something I already own!! While not exact, I do already have a polka dot tab sleeve blouse (mine is from Maurice’s and comes with an awesome pop of pink!), and so no matter how much I liked this shirt there was no way I could justify keeping it. The sleeves are awesome on it though- the picture above shows one sleeve down and the other tabbed. It is 100% Rayon and hand washable.

Verdict: Returned

Kessie Knit Faux Wrap Dress – $64

FullSizeRender[4] — Kessie Knit Faux Wrap Dress

When I first pulled this dress out I was excited! Love the colors and the summer feel. The Rayon/Spandex machine washable mix feels super breathable and lightweight for warmer days. I feel like when I tried the dress on though, it sealed the deal for me in an opposite direction- I am not a wrap dress gal! It’s definitely not that the dress isn’t cute- because it is – it is just not me. The top portion felt a little frumpy and loose (it was slightly too big as well) and the waist didn’t feel flattering. Poor Kristen- she is trying so hard to get me that dress and keeps striking out.

Verdict- Returned

Bonita Crochet Dress – $88

And then, she absolutely hits it out of the park with this LBD (I told her a few months back that I was missing a little black dress in my closet – now I will miss it no more!!)! There is nothing I do not love about this dress- and I mean nothing! The high waist is incredibly flattering, the crochet details are super feminine, the length is short enough to accomplish a flirt factor without being too much, and the list goes on! I will say that the dress has a snag in the back- nothing crazy, but it’s a snag. I contacted Stitch Fix and they gave me the choice between 15% off the dress or returning for a new one. I opted for the discount, which made the dress an even better find! I honestly cannot wait to wear this dress year round! It is 100% Polyester and hand washable.

Verdict- KEPT!!! (Possible one of my fave Fix finds thus far!)

Stay tuned for June’s Fix- likely with some summery goods! If you have any suggestions, I am always ready to try new styles!!
