For my April Stitch Fix I focused completely on spring ❤ I asked for versatile dresses (work friendly, church appropriate and yet still FUN), skinnies and/or joggers, shorts, and a light spring jacket. Kristen M (my streak with Kristen continues!!) pulled in with a major win this month and I have to say I was beyond tempted to order all 5 items!
Her note read: “Hi Kristin, I had so much fun styling this Fix for you! I’m so sorry only the cardigan worked out in your last Fix and hope we have more yes’s than no’s in this box! For a nice Sunday brunch or wine tasting outing with friends, throw on the Skies are Blue cold shoulder dress. I’m so glad you mentioned this dress in your request because I had my eye on it for you! All you need is a few bangles and wedges to complete the look. I know you are interested in dressy joggers and thought you would like to try the grey Laila Jayde joggers. Super comfy for all day wear and can be easily dressed up with a small heel and the bright Skies are Blue lace top. Do a small tuck in the front like on your Pinterest. The black 41Hawthorn faux wrap is the perfect LBD for all year long. Have fun! Can’t wait to hear your feedback! xo, Kristen M”
Seri Knit Moto Jacket – $74
This jacket is too cute! Great jersey like material (really it’s a Cotton/Poly blend that is hand washable). I honestly could not have asked for a better color/style/fit for spring. I feel like this is one of those jackets that could go with so much. The only reason I did not keep this jacket, and believe me- I was tempted!, is because it fit a little too loose in the back/waist area for a jacket that I would never have anything bulky under. Otherwise, this jacket was a solid choice by Kristen!
Verdict- Returned
Shaolin Crepe Cold Shoulder Dress – $58
Ok- so the funny thing with this dress…I loved it! I think it is fun, cute, comfortable, and easily dressed up/dressed down. I agree with Kristen’s idea on the Sunday brunch dress. It is 100% Rayon and hand washable (another plus). The downside? Everyone that I showed the dress and/or picture to- didn’t love the dress. Talk about a downer! And while I do care more about what I think than what others think- I was thrown off by the fact that not one person liked the dress.
Verdict- Returned
Rocco Jersey Faux Wrap Dress – $78
And just to make the circle complete, everyone really liked this dress…except me! Ha! I received a lot of compliments on this Poly/Spandex hand washable dress. Even my kids liked it. And I admit- in the picture it does look super flattering, and I know I could wear it all year long. For some reason though, I didn’t feel comfortable in it. It feels a little heavy, and the neckline threw me for a loop. I really appreciate Kristen’s diversity in picking the dresses she sent though…I’m not giving up on letting her find the perfect one!
Verdict- Returned
Nicki Jogger Pant- $58
I’ve been asking for the dressy joggers and Kristen pulled through with these 100%. Love the fit, material (Cotton/Poly hand washable), and the fact they are just dressy enough to pull off for work! While I do like the grey/green color that they are, I wish they would have been black- only because my Target non-dressy joggers (a $19 score!) are so close in color/look.
Even with the close color though, I can’t pull off my Target joggers at work or church…
Verdict – Kept!
Disanto Lace Detail Top – $48
When I pulled this top out, I wasn’t sure about it. It is cute- for sure- but I was’t sure it would be a keeper. And then I put it on and fell in love… I threw on a pair of jean shorts and it worked great, but I can only imagine how adorable it can be dressed up with a skirt (I can’t wait to pair it with my Walt Skirt from February), my favorite grey skinnies and some booties, or even the Nicki Joggers, like Kristen mentioned. It is Poly/Rayon hand washable.
Verdict: Kept!
Bring on May! I cannot wait for more spring/summer gear!
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.
