For my February Stitch Fix, I was pretty specific in my notes about what I was looking for. I included a fur vest, a skirt for work, a blazer (NOT in grey or black), and tops that could be worn to both work and on lazy days around town. My stylist, Kristen M once again (score!), delivered on every single wish I included…Happy Valentine’s Day to me!
Kristen’s note was great- I really appreciate the fact that she is getting to know me more and more with each Fix. I am thankful that she has been my constant “Fixer” thus far!
Rebekah Stretch Crepe Blazer – $88
The color of this blazer is fabulous! I love the coral, I think it could go with so many things in my closet, and the accessorizing could go on for days. It is a Polyester Rayon blend shell with an adorable white and black polka dot Polyester lining. It is dry clean only (if you know me- I hate going to the dry cleaner), but with a blazer that sort of comes with the territory so that alone can’t rule it out. I was all in when I took this out of the box…sold at first sight…but I found it was too big when I put it on. I think one size smaller would be great, and I am going to see if they have it available before making up my mind.
Verdict- Likely a KEEP if they have a size down
Celso Mesh Detail Knit Top – $54
Unlike the blazer, this top did not hit me with a wow factor when I first saw it. I’m not really a huge floral fan, and didn’t think it would it would do anything for me when I put it on. That is, until I put it on… and found that I actually really liked it! I paired it with an army green blazer and skinny jeans, but think it would be awesome with a cream blazer, a skirt, or leggings and boots. It is a Rayon Spandex blend that can be machine washed.
Verdict-Last minute decision, but I’m leaning towards KEPT
Colibri Solid Tab Sleeve Blouse – $48
I have to give it to Kristen on this one. LOVE this shirt! So much so that I already own one almost exactly like it, lol. Mine is from Kohl’s, and probably quite a bit less expensive, but it is literally one of my closet staples!
The Colibri blouse is 100% Polyester and hand washable, which is definitely doable. I SO recommend a top like this for pretty much anyone…it is super versatile and can be work with everything from jeans, to dress pants, to leggings and skirts (see Walt Skirt next). For me, of course, I have to pass it up or my husband just might lose his mind 🙂
Verdict- RETURNED
Walt Skirt- $68
This skirt is fabulous. The stripes are small enough to not make you look wider than you are (or like BeetleJuice) and the pencil cut is perfect for work. I tried the skirt both dressed up (with the Colibri Solid Tab Sleeve Blouse and booties) and dressed down (with a denim top and tall boots) and thought it worked great both ways. I am not a huge skirt wearer, and I requested one for just that reason…to push myself a little bit. The skirt is Polyester Spandex blend and hand washable. A definite winner…says both my husband too!
Verdict- KEPT
Buster Faux Fur Vest- $78
I had requested a faux fur vest for January but Kristen did not have one in stock. This month she definitely pulled through though with a vest I adore! I have been Pinterest stalking faux fur vests for a bit and I have to say this one fit the bill perfectly…love how versatile this can be (next I’m going to try it with a black dress like Kristen recommended), love the length, love that it is hand washable, love that I got it in time to wear for a few more months! Love!
Verdict- KEPT
I can’t wait until March! Getting ready to request some gear for SPRING!!
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.
