Stitch Fix #15: June 2016


I received my usual "Have anything to tell your stylist" email the other day and as I was writing my note to Kristen I realized I never posted my last fix. So, here it is, a bit late. Even though it arrived early, as usual :)




This is fix number 15 for me and I had said I wanted sequined items. Unfortunately, all the ones I had pinned were more winter/fall items and Kristen wasn't able to find any of them. She did, however, find a few things similar to items I had been asking for. *Just a note* The lighting was really weird the day I was taking my pictures so sorry for the funny faces. I know a few of the pictures look like I'm making a goofy face but I'm just squinting from the sun in my eyes..


Loveappella Haris Bow Detail Knit Top - I love the idea of this shirt and the colors were perfect for the upcoming 4th of July holiday. I really liked this top when I pulled it out of the box but felt it just wasn't working on my once I got it on. I love the bow detail but feel maybe it would be better with a bow on each side or perhaps one in the back. Just didn't love the single bow.
.  





Pixley Layda Crochet Top - I know lots of people are raving about this top on the boards right now but I just wasn't feeling it. It felt a bit heavy and bulky with the cami to me. I really did like the crochet detail of the shirt though.







Renee C Alexia Printed Skirt  - I love the bright, bold print of this skirt. It's so fun and leaves it open to so many fun outfit ideas. However, I'm more of a subtle prints or solids kind of girl....





Skies are Blue Bowes Button Down Top - This is a classic chambray shirt. It's super comfy and the perfect length for tucking in.







Everly Jonetta Romper - I'm not gonna lie. When I first seen this, I thought what the heck but once I tried it on, I really liked it. I wasn't too sure about the print as I feel it's a bit older than my taste and it was a bit difficult to get in and out of. Plus it gave a bit of a wedgie when I lifted my arms. However, I did really like it. It was very pretty.








The Breakdown if you’re following along, here is what I decided to keep from my June Stitch Fix shipment: Haris Bow Detail Knit Top from Loveappella -- RETURN, Layda Crochet Top from Pixley  -- RETURN, Alexia Printed Skirt from Renee C-- RETURN,  Bowes Button Down Top from Skies are Blue -- KEEP, Jonetta Romper from Everly -- RETURN

This is probably the least amount of items I've kept from a fix since Kristen has been my stylist. Just goes to show that they can't all be 5/5s but I did still love my 1 item I kept and I still love StitchFix and Kristen. Cant wait till my next fix!!

Stitch Fix #14: May 2016

As usual my fix was scheduled to arrive May 21st and it arrived early. It came on Thursday the 19th!





This is fix number 14 for me and I have been asking my stylist for a black pair of skinny jeans and a white denim jacket for a while. I also said I would like some lace items. As usual, Kristen delivered!



Honey Punch Layla Elbow Patch Cardigan - I have had this cardigan pinned for a very long time. I just love the stripes and elbow patches. It's the most comfortable thing ever! Unfortunately this runs pretty big as you can see in the photo, so I'm hoping I can exchange for a smaller size.
.  




JELLA C Aragon Bow Back Blouse - This is just adorable. I love the light, flowy feel of this shirt and the print is just so cute! I also just love the bow back detail. I was initially having a hard time styling this. I had started with dark and black colored jeans and it just wasn't working. Then I tried it with some medium and light was jeans and it just went perfectly. I remembered that I had ordered a pair of mint skinny jeggings a while back and decided to go ahead and try those and boy am I glad I did. Although the picture makes the jeggings look pretty light they were a good contrast with the top and looked great!







Pixley Yuli Lace Cap Sleeve Blouse  - I was having a hard time pairing this top as well initially. I finally paired it with my boyfriend jeans from fix #10 and really liked how they looked together. I really liked the lace detail but wasn't loving the cut on it..




BRIXON IVY Cyndi Lace Pencil Skirt - I had pinned this skirt and it was probably the whole reason I asked for a lace fix. I just think this skirt is so beautiful. It could easily be dressed up or down. I chose to pair it with a chambray shirt and a pair of Oka B flats for this picture and although I wasn't sure of this combination at first, I think I really love it. I think I will have so much fun with this skirt!






Warp + Weft Chloe Slim Straight Leg Jean - Kristen had sent these jeans in my last fix in a size smaller and they just wouldn't fit over my booty. I had said that I liked them but didn't really want a size exchange at the time as I was keeping the pleather jacket and just didn't want to spend that much money at the time. I had said that we could try again later for the right size of these jeans. Let me just say something about the StitchFix jeans. They. Are. Amazing!!! When they fit man do they fit! I find it's really hard to get a good picture of jeans while using a selfie stick so sorry they picture isn't very good. I paired these jeans with my Bernadette Lace Overlay Reglan Top from Fix #12 for this picture. I'm sure I will get a lot of use out of these jeans.







The Breakdown if you’re following along, here is what I decided to keep from my April Stitch Fix shipment: Layla Elbow Patch Detail Cardigain from Honey Punch -- KEEP (only for the discount but sold on the StitchFix board), Aragon Bow Back Blouse from JELLA C  -- KEEP, Yuli Lace Cap Sleeve Blouse from Pixley-- KEEP (only kept for the discount but will likely sell on the board),  Cyndi Lace Pencil Skirt from BRIXON IVY -- KEEP, Chloe Slim Straight Leg Jean from Warp + Weft -- KEEP

Stitch Fix #13: April 2016

As usual my fix was scheduled to arrive April 23rd it arrived a day early. :)
 


This is fix number 13 for me and I have been asking my stylist for a black pair of skinny jeans and a white denim jacket for a while. I also mentioned that I'd like to give a romper a try.



Pixley Brennie Studded Top - When I first opened my box this is the piece I liked most. It looked so easy to style. Like it would go with almost anything. I decided to pair it with some medium wash shorts. I'll be honest, I only paired it with shorts because I was going to have a pedicure today and knew I should wear shorts and sandals. I'll just say, I wore this outfit to my pedicure ;-) I also think this top would go great with medium wash pants or even white pants or shorts. I just love the detail on this top!

.  




Olive & Oak Robbyne Eyelet Detail top - This was probably my second favorite piece when I first opened my box. I just love the deep navy color and the eyelet detail is just fabulous! I wasn't thrilled with it when I tried it on though. Felt it was a bit boxy on me and had a hard time getting the zipper up. My husband is away on business so I ended up not even zipping it for the picture. Perhaps I would like it better if it was zipped.





Coffeshop Roxo Faux Leather Jacket - I have been asking for a white denim jacket for a few fixes now. Kristen was able to find this jacket for me. Although its not denim, I still really liked it. When I first pulled it out of the box I really liked the style and when I tried it on I was really happy with the fit. I have never had any desire for a white leather jacket but this may change my mind. :-)





Warp + Weft Chloe Slim Straight Leg Jean - I have been wanting a pair of black skinny jeans for a while now. I bought a pair from Kohl's about a month ago but I LOVE how my jeans from StitchFix fit. I was so excited when Kristen sent these. I couldn't wait to try them on. Unfortunately, they are too small :( I have a big booty and I couldn't get them over it. So no picture. Maybe we will have better luck next time.





RD Style Zetta V-neck Romper - I see all these ladies in their rompers and I love them. I've tried a few on here and there and they never seem to look right on me. I'm 5'3" and have fairly long legs for my height but have a pretty short torso. I figured if anyone could get me a romper that fit it would be StitchFix. Although I don't love this on me, I definitely like it more than any other romper I have tried.





The Breakdown if you’re following along, here is what I decided to keep from my April Stitch Fix shipment: Brennie Studded Top from Pixley -- KEEP, Robbyne Eyelet Detail Top from Olive & Oak  -- RETURN, Roxo Faux Leather Jacket from Coffeeshop-- KEEP,  Chloe Slim Straight Leg Jean from Warp + Weft -- RETURN, Zetta V-neck Rom[er from RD Style   -- RETURN

Stitch Fix #12: March 2016

My fix was scheduled to arrive March 26th, but as usual arrived 2 days early!! .




This is fix number 12 for me and I asked my stylist for some dresses and once again Kristen delivered!! Have I mentioned how much I love my stylist!?!

I started taking pictures a bit later than normal today so had to change spots. I was having some lighting issues so they are not the best quality. I'm hoping to take some more later in the week.


Market & Spruce Jenson Embroidery Detail Top - When I first peeked at my fix shipment I figured this was an item I wouldn't be keeping. When the fix arrived and I first seen it, I was pleasantly surprised with this top. It's a bit brighter than I would normally reach for but I didn't dislike it. I tried it with a few tings and it started to grow on me. I have to say that pairing it with these white pants was probably my favorite outfit with it. I'm sure when it gets warmer it will also go nicely with some white or jean shorts too.




Market & Spruce Bernadette Lace Overlay Reglan Top - This is a top that I had pinned on my Pinterest board and Kristin snagged it for me. This top is great. Its super comfy and cute and can be dressed up or down. I paired it with my Boyfriend Jeans from fix # 10 and some converse. I can definitely see myself wearing this casual outfit often.




41Hawthorn Rocco Jersey Faux Wrap Dress - I asked for dresses for this fix and mentioned to Kristin that I didn't own a little black dress (What?!?!?!!). She chose this 41Hawthorn dress mentioning "this classic staple is the perfect go to for work/date/special event. With this dress, it's all about how you accessorize!" and I couldn't agree more. This dress is great. I'm 5'3" and felt like it was just a touch too long on me at first. I'm starting to feel like it's not too long anymore but still on the fence a bit. I may have to have it hemmed a bit if I decide to keep.




Gilli Vail Striped Maxi Skirt - This was another item I had pinned and Kristen was able to grab. I love how the maxi skirts fit but don't really like all the material they have at the top. I just don't know what to do with it.. When I first seen this was coming I was thrilled. Upon pulling it out of the box I was a bit disappointed. I didn't realize the pattern was more orange, thought it was pink. I had mentioned to Kristen that I had ordered my first pair of Oka B shoes (actually 3 pairs, lol. They were having a sale, 1/2 off!) in Watermelon, Popsicle and Cobalt and asked her to send something I could pair with them. She suggested pairing this skirt with the Watermelon Oka B's.



BRIXON IVY Medina Lace Dress  - Kristen sent this as "every girl needs that flirty and feminine item that makes them feel so pretty and polished!" I agree! This dress is great. Love the color, love the detail, love the cut. Just love it!




The Breakdown if you’re following along, here is what I decided to keep from my March Stitch Fix shipment: Jenson Embroidery Detail Top from Market & Spruce -- KEEP, Bernadette Lace Overlay Reglan Top from Market & Spruce  -- KEEP, Rocco Jersey Faux Wrap Dress from 41Hawthorn-- KEEP,  Vail Striped Maxi Skirt from Gilli -- KEEP (Kept this for discount but likely going to sell it on a Stitch Fix board), Medina Lace Dress from BRIXON IVY   -- KEEP
If you've been following on my blog you will know this is my 3rd 4/5 fix in a row from Kristen. She is awesome!!

Stitch Fix #11: February 2016

My fix was scheduled to arrive February 27th, but actually arrived 2 days early!! .



This is fix number 11 for me and I asked my stylist for some spring pieces and purses and once again Kristen delivered!!


Pixley Remus Mixed Material Top - When I first saw this I didn't love it. I like the idea of a "dressy" tank that can be dressed up a bit but I didn't love this one. I tried it on with my boyfriend jeans and that didn't help the situation. I've pretty much been living in my boyfriend and skinny jeans so I've sort of forgotten about my other jeans. I reached for a pair of straight leg jeans I've had for a while and I really started to like the top. I think I need to play with it a bit more.



Papermoon Dorset Tie Neck Top - When I first looked at my style card I thought this would be one of my return items. I actually received my fix on the day of my BFF birthday party. I was having a real hard time finding something to wear and I decided to try on my new tops. I started with the Pixley Remus Mixed Material Top but didn't love it but when I put this on I knew it was my outfit for the night!



Le Lis Alante 3/4 Woven Back Knit Top - I have had this top pinned on my Pinterest board and Kristen was able to get it! I was so happy when I seen it was coming. I was a little disappointed when I tried it on as I didn't feel it fit me well. Maybe a bit too big, I'm not sure. I do love the top, just not sure it's doing me any favors. I first tried it with some cuffed bottoms and ballet flats.



Then with my Kut From The Kloth Kate Distressed Boyfriend Jeans from Fix #10 and some sandals. I think this is a fairly versatile top as well and could be dressed up or down.



Daniel Rainn Coronado Crochet Detail Top - This was another item I thought was a for sure return when I seen my style card. Krestin suggested pairing it with a (p)leather jacket for a night out. I had purchased a pair of pleather leggings a few months ago that I have yet to wear so I decided to try them with this blouse. Not sure I love it but Im definitely interested now lol. I also wanted to dress it down a bit for an everyday look so I paired it with my Just Black Dean Ankle Zip Skinny Jeans from my very first fix. I love the detail on this top and I think this top is pretty versatile. It just may be a keeper after all.








Street Level Nadia Woven Stud Clutch - I. Love. This. Color. I've been wanting a cobalt purse for a while now. Needless to say, I love this clutch. It also has a detachable chain strap so can be used as a purse, which is great for me as I tend to lose things that are not attached lol.




The Breakdown if you’re following along, here is what I decided to keep from my February Stitch Fix shipment: Remus Mixed Material Top from Pixley -- KEEP Dorset Tie Neck Top from Papermoon  -- KEEP Alante 3/4 Woven Back Knit Top from Kut From Le Lis -- KEEP (may sell on a Stitch Fix board if I decide I don't love it) Coronado Crochet Detail Top from Daniel Rainn -- KEEP (Kept this for discount but likely going to sell it on a Stitch Fix board) Nadia Woven Stud Clutch from  -- Street Level -- KEEP

January 2016 Stitch Fix Review


I must start this post with this, I have no photographer. I've asked my husband but he is always trying to talk to me or rush me because he wants to get back to whatever it was I pulled him away from to take the pictures. Although he is an amazing man, he's just not a good photographer. So.... it's just me and my selfie stick and I'm not good at selfies lol.

My fix was scheduled to arrive today, January 30th, but actually arrived 2 days ago!! I didn't get around to trying anything on till today though.

This is fix number 10 for me and I asked my stylist for some colorful, warm, full length sleeve, sweaters and cardigans and boy did Kristen deliver!!


RD Style Colton Marled Knit Cardigan - I'm not going to lie, when I pulled this out of the box I thought grandma... Baby pink is actually my favorite color but I just wasn't feeling this one. Kristen mentioned seeing some longer style cardigans on my pintrest board so I understand why she chose this. I first tried pairing it with a button up shirt.


Then a faux Henley.

And lastly a basic long sleeve tee.

RD Style Donno Embellished Neckline Sweater - I loved this when I first pulled it out of the box. When I tried it on though, it felt a bit boxy.
Until, I put it over a collared shirt. I just loved it pair with the polka dot and floral shirts. 


I also love the back cut out. It's perfect for a little pop of print or color.



Kut From The Kloth Kate Distressed Boyfriend Jean - I've been hearing people rave about the boyfriend jeans for quite a while. I had never tried a pair, until now. After a little Google and pinterest research I reached for my white converse. I felt this was probably the easiest way to go. I really wasn't sure what to do with the cuffs. I'm pretty short (5'3") but have fairly long legs. However, these fell pretty low on me. So back to Google I went for cuffing options.

I seen some people pair these with heels and wedges for a more dressed up/night out look. So I gave it a shot. I pulled out these wedges and am overall happy with the look. Perhaps later I'll try them with heels but perhaps not lol.



RD Style Maly Cable Knit Pullover Sweater - This is a long sleeve, heavy, warm piece and that's exactly what I wanted. Plus the color is just awesome!!
 I started out with just throwing a cami under it.

I decided to pair it with my collared shirts that I already had out. I like the floral, but I think I love the polka dots!!



 



Street Level Meyer Tassel Clutch - Last but not least is this clutch.


When I first seen it I was bummed because I liked the design and thought the color would be so versatile. However I'm not good about not loosing things that aren't attached to me. Plus I was a little unsure about the size. However, once I looked inside I seen it had a detachable gold chain strap. I love when things can be worn/used multiple ways.


 

The Breakdown

If you’re following along, here is what I decided to keep from my January Stitch Fix shipment: Maly Cable Knit Pullover Sweater from RD Style -- KEEP Meyer Tassel Clutch from Street Level  -- KEEP Kate Distressed Boyfriend Jean from Kut From The Cloth -- KEEP (but asking for a size exchange) Colton Marled Knit Cardigan from RD Style -- KEEP (Kept this for discount only but sold it on a Stitch Fix board) Donno Embellished Neckline Sweater from RD Style -- KEEP
