Stitch Fix #7

 This weekend I got my 7th Stitch Fix. It is one of my favorite treats and ways to shop. Especially as a busy mom! I usually ask for credit for my birthday and Christmas which covers most of the cost.

This shirt was fun, but was just a tad too small. I sent it back



This fit perfect and was stripes, so I was sold! I kept this one





Back view





I asked for a Kimono and there weren't any in stock so they sent me this.
It looks way better in this picture than in real life, but it wasn't what
I was looking for, so I sent it back.

This dress was a good fit and SOOO soft. But also expensive,
so I sent it back.



Even though this was less expensive than the other dress, I still
couldn't justify spending that much money on a dress that I could
probably find a similar version of at Old Navy or Target.

Stitch Fix #6

I received my 6th fix this month! It is always so fun to get something fun in the mail for ME, that isn't a bill or junk mail.

Here's what I got this month!

My first item was a Papermoon Holburn Keyhole Top. The back was sheer
and perfect for hot summer nights. It was $48 and I kept it!

This was the Papermoon Holland Zipper Blouse. It looked SO much better off than on.
It was just too big, especially around the arms and just hung on me, kind of weird.
It too would have been perfect for the summer, as it was a really thin material. It was $44 and was sent back.

Ugh! I almost didn't post his picture because both pieces were so bad. They don't look as bad
in the picture as they did in real life. The Dear John Roll Cuff Shorts were too long and
just screamed "I'm an uncool Mom", plus they were $58. No thanks! I really liked this
Papermoon Sheydon Trim Blouse, but it too was just a tad too big and hung off me.
It was $44 and was also sent back.

This Skies are Blue Haleiwa Tie-neck top actually looks way better in pictures than in real life.
That piece at the bottom was see through. Not a huge deal, but it also just was in a weird
spot on the shirt and brought attention to my muffin top :) It was $44 and was sent back

My little shadow wanted in on the show, too :)

Each piece comes with a styling card to show you how to dress up and dress down each piece. 

Overall I was pretty happy with this month. I liked most of the pieces, but they didn't fit right. This happened last month too, so I think I need to make my shirt size a small instead of a medium and see if that helps. I think I am probably in between a small and a medium, but the brand sizes seem to run a little large, so I'll see how the next month goes :) And if you haven't tried it, you totally should :) And don't forget to sign up under my link! I'd love you forever for it! 

Stitch Fix #4

 This is my fourth fix and probably my last one for awhile. My referral credit is gone and so is my birthday credit. So until Christmas comes or other people sign up under me, I'll be having a hiatus. PS, the few people who have signed up under me are amazing! You can sign up and get refer other people to you! I've probably gotten $100 is free clothes, just from referrals!

So I'll be honest, this was my least favorite fix. But mostly because I forgot it was coming and didn't leave specific instructions on what I wanted. Here's what I got!

First of all, I love opening my box to find a personal note each time!

Please excuse the terrible lighting. I'm obviously not a fashion blogger :)

I couldn't wait to get my hands on this sweater!

It was SO cute and had black sparkly stripes down the side.
You can't tell in this picture, but it was unfortunately it was
about a size too big. I couldn't justify $68 on a too big sweater, even if it
was super dreamy and comfy.

I was not as excited about this blouse.
(PS, does anyone else hate that word?)

Justin and I both agreed it looked better on. It had a great fit,
but we didn't love the pattern. Plus for $58, I'll pass.

I wasn't sure why they sent me a maxi dress heading into fall, but whatevs.

Turns out it was so soft, comfy, and flattering.
Buuuut also $74 so no thanks!

I have 2 pairs of jeans from this Just Black brand, and LOVE them.
That being said, they had a price tag of $88. And I don't need 3 pairs of
skinny jeans. The jeans I wore in the pictures above are the ones
I bought from my second fix.

Here's item #5. A minimalist necklace $28

Like I said before, this was my least favorite fix. However, I normally give VERY specific instructions on what (and what not) to send, and I had a blonde moment and forgot to do that this time. I would have asked for tops only and said specifically no jewelry, accessories, pants, or dresses. I really do feel like when you give specific instructions, the stylists do what you ask. I had $29 in credit. $20 paid for my box to be sent to me, so I kind of felt if I didn't buy ANYTHING it would be wasted credit. I've been wanting a simple necklace and have watching Stella Bella Boutique because I love her necklaces and earrings. So I only kept the necklace.

Even though I didn't love my fix this month, I still give Stitch Fix 2 thumbs up! It's made my try (and like) articles of clothing I would have otherwise overlooked. Like that blouse from this fix? I NEVER would have tried on that style. But now I see how it's actually flattering and comfortable. So when I shop on my own, I can look for similar items. And if you haven't tried it, you totally should :) And don't forget to sign up under my link! I'd love you forever for it!

Stitch Fix #3

I figured since box #4 is on its way, I should hop to it and blog about my 3rd box. I asked them to send me a few dresses because I was going to wedding. I thought it would be fun to try something new!


So what is Stitch Fix anyway? Well I'm glad you ask. Even though this was my third fix and I'll likely get them only a few times a year, I LOVE IT! Stitch Fix is like having your own personal stylist, here's how it works

So here's what I got!

This dress was just "eh". It looked ok on, but I just wasn't loving it.
But it was only $48, so not to shabby. I sent it back

I LOVED this dress. It was soft and comfy, and I thought it could easily be dressed up or dressed down
But it was $68 and I really liked my last item, so I sent it back too.

Ugh! This dress. I mean, what? It was so awful, I almost didn't take a picture in it.
It was really thin, and REALLY ugly. Even though it was pretty cheap, it went STRAIGHT back.

YES! I loved this asymmetrical cardigan. I pinned this EXACT item, so I was SUPER
happy my stylist sent it to me! Even though I was hoping to buy a dress I loved this
so much, that I kept it! I think it was $50, but I had birthday credit still, and wasn't
passing it up. It's been my go to sweater when its chilly outside!

This time around I didn't take pictures of my style cards, oops! I've been kind of busy. But my 4th box is on its way and I'll show you the goodies sooner this time! So, who's going to give it a try? Its a perfect thing to ask for for Christmas! If you haven't tried it out, I would love for you to sign up through my link! I get a $25 credit when your first box ships. Thanks!

Stitch Fix #2

So remember when I got my first Stitch Fix back in January. Well, I've been saving up my money and this week, I got my second fix! I seriously was so excited to get my box, that when I was notified that it shipped, I kind of cheated! I googled the names of each item they sent me, so I could get a sneak peek!  I know I'm the worst and should have waited, but I was just too excited. I was relieved that it wasn't love at first sight with everything in my box, since I only had enough money saved up for a few items.

So what is Stitch Fix anyway? Well I'm glad you ask. Even though this was my second box and I'll likely get them only a few times a year, I LOVE IT! Stitch Fix is like having your own personal stylist, here's how it works

Average price

They state on their average price per items is $65, 

that being said 3 of my items were under $60.

I honestly was so excited to get a personalized note from my stylist!

So are you guys ready to see the contents of my second fix?

This black lace detailed blouse was $38. I thought it was cute and different from what I normally wear
However, it just didn't fit right. It was a tad too big, so I needed to wear a cami under it, and that
just made it look weird. I sent this back.

 Each piece gets a style card with it. Something to dress it up and dress it down.
So fun!

These "Just Black" jeans were $78 and the same brand as the jeans I was sent last time.
They were super comfortable and were the correct size in all the right spots.
They seemed a little too "skinny" for me, but they have a little stretch to them.
Even after trying them on a few times, they stretched a bit. So I kept them!

Here are 2 items together.  This Kut from Kloth jean jacket was $78, and the blue maxi dress was $58.
I already had a jean jacket so I sent that back.  I liked the skirt, but something about the way it was hemmed
made my hips appear even wider that they are.  Plus as a few people mentioned, I could get a maxi skirt for
half the price at Target.  Both sent back.

Here's another picture of the maxi skirt. Also, check how high I had to hike that thing up,
so it didn't drag the ground for like 3 inches.

Last item was this green button up sleeveless blouse for $54. 
I sent this back too.  It was too big and just hung on my body. It was very soft
and would be great for the summer, but not the right size/fit.

So there you have it! Even though I only kept the jeans, I am super happy with this fix! I am glad I didn't love all the pieces, because I can't afford to love them all! But buying a staple item here or there seems doable. Plus the jeans I bought were made in the USA, so that makes me feel better about paying a higher price for them. In fact, 3 of the 5 items were made in the US. And I never would have thought I could wear a sleeveless blouse, but Stitch Fix made me try it! And now when/if I'm out and about shopping around, I'll be more adventurous. And that is really why I love Stitch Fix. I get to try on things in the comfort of my own home, with other clothes that I own, and see what works and doesn't work. It's been good to be pushed out of my comfort zone just a little! I already scheduled my next fix for the middle of August. I am going to a wedding in September, and I always rush out the weekend before to try to find something to wear. I am super excited to be sent a bunch of dresses to try! I mean, how fun is that?

So have you tried Stitch Fix yet? Did you love it? Did you hate it? If you haven't tried it out, I would love for you to sign up through my link! I get a $25 credit when your first box ships. Thanks!

A while ago, I heard of Stitch Fix and I was intrigued. Here's the gist of it:

Average price

that being said half of my items were under $50.

Ok guys, ready to see what I got?

How fun is this packaging?

Everything inside the box is just so fun!  

Black skinny jeans $78. Seriously the SOFTEST most amazing
jeans, I've ever tried on. DEFINITELY keeping.
Light Grey Fold-over Cowl neck knit top $48.
Very comfy, and I can dress it up for down pretty easy,

Looks cuter with a long necklace

Striped Tiered top $68. This is definitely different for me,
but it was super nice quality and Justin really liked it.
I don't love v-neck things, but this was the PERFECT amount
of V-neck for me, not too deep

Burgundy Webbed infinity scarf $38. I typically don't
really love infinity scarves, but I really like it with this shirt.
I'll have to try it on with other things to see if I'll keep it.

Striped Dolman top $48. When I opened the box and this was on top,
I was kind of bummed. It's not my favorite color and looked
strange in the box, BUT it looks much better on.  I don't love the wideness
of it, but I do love the sleeve length and its comfort.

Here are my styling cards for each piece.

I really was surprised I liked so much in my fix.  I was prepared to not like much, but who cares. It's fun to get clothes shipped to you and have a "personal stylist". I honestly didn't think I would like it all! So now the difficult part.  Deciding what to send back.  Thankfully I have $80 in stitch fix credit from Christmas and from referrals.  Plus my $20 I paid for my box.  Oh yeah, referral credit!  They are super awesome.  If a friend signs up under your personalized link, you get $25 when their first box ships!  So if you want to try it out, I wouldn't mind you signing up from any of the links in this post!

So what do you think about all the pieces in my fix? Which ones are your favorite? Which ones are your least favorite?  Do you think you'll try it out? I really wanna know what you think!


*Update, I noticed a small ink stain on one of my favorite pieces.  And Stitch Fix had great customer service.  They were in contact with me all day long to try and resolve it.  When the piece the shipped was out of stock, they ended up giving me some credit in my account.  Everyone was so great to me!
