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
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
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
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)!!

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.
