August Stitch Fix #3

August Stitch fix #3
So this go around I decided to go more casual clothing and boy was that a great choice. And a choice I think I will be sticking with for a while. While I love dressing up and being all cute, it was just not as fuctional in my day to day living. So thanks to a good friend who showed me her awesome stitch fixes and explained she requests casual wear I was inspired to do the same.

First item, Renee C
Alecia Abstact print maxi dress size L-$68

So I loved all the colors on this dress, and the chevron. But it was not flattering on and my Fiancé was not a fan at all. Of it. It was comfy and easy to wear. But would have required heels and with Neil only be a touch taller than me I have started to get away from wearing heels. So in my notes I made sure to put a request for no more maxi dresses, as much fun as they can be, they just won't work in this stage of life. 

Second item, Gentle Fawn

Tulalip Split Neck Top size L-$54

So this was comfy but the arm holes were way to big and it fit big too. This was my fiancé's lease favorite item in my box. Other wise it would have been a cute top for our camping trip. 

Third item, Liverpool

Mira Skinny Jeans size 12-$78

I'm wearing them in the above picture. 

They were amazing beyond comfy and looked great on. I am wearing them with my other two items as well. I cuffed them because they were a touch long but I thought it made them all the cuter. Sadly I sent them back because of the price. This box landed during a tight budget and thus I could not justify the price. 

Fourth item, Papermoon 

Georgie Knit Tank size L-$38

I loved this one so much. It's soft and comfy and I loved the flow of it. I wore a cami under it and it looked great with the Mira Skinny Jeans. Neil liked it too. I kept this one. 

And last but not least...

Fifth item, Papermoon 

Cresson Knit Top size L-$38

This was my most favorite item from my box. It's super comfy and looked great on me. It will be perfect as the nights start getting cooler with fall. 

So that was my August box. I hope this will help anyone looking for ideas for their future boxes.

Oh and for those wondering this is my future living room I'm standing in. We painted it yellow recently. The door way with the curtain behind me leads to the rest of the house. We put the curtain up to keep the AC in in bedroom and living room as its a window unit and can't cool more than that. We are still in the works of getting the house all set up. But we move all my stuff up Labor day weekend and that will be a big step to get it more our home and not a Batchelor pad. 

Thanks for reading. And I promise I have more fun posts coming that have nothing to do with boxes in the mail. 

June Stitch Fix

So I had been hearing a ton about Stitch fix and decided I would try it out for myself. Got my first box in May and figured out real quickly I needed to be more specific in my requests. I did keep one dress from the first box. So when I got my second box last weekend I knew I wanted to share my experience with y'all.

Here is the dress I kept from my first box.

If those who don't know what stitch fix is I'll explain it the best i can. 

So they have a profile you fill out with your sizes, price range and style. And you will get assigned a style professional who will hand pick you 5 items to be placed in your box. There's clothing, jewelry, scarves and handbags. You can opt not to receive some things. Like myself I've chosen to only get clothing and no accessories. 

You can then choose how often you'd like to receive your box. I get mine once a month sent to my Fiancé house. So he can help me decided on items. There is a $20 styling fee with each box but it is taken off the price of the things you decide to keep. Always try everything on. You'd be amazed how some items look very different on than they do laying flat. After I try them all on, I decide what to keep and what to send back. They send you a bag to send the items back in. If you keep all 5 items you get a 25% discount on your purchase. 

    

So here is my June fix.

#1 

Skies are Blue

Scribe Ruffle Front Blouse -Large $48

I loved the color and was so excited to try it on. 

but after I tried it on I did not like how it fit. Just kinda hung funny and the ruffles did not lay right. I also could tell it would require ironing and I knew that would rarely happen. So it was returned. 

#2 

Fun2Fun

Gesto Crochet Trim Blouse -Large $44

I loved the color and was also very excited for this one. But it was WAY to small, I'm not sure even a size medium person would fit in it. And when I tried it on for my fiancé he pointed out that it was very see through. No picture of me wearing it since it was so tight and see through. 

So it was returned. 

#3

41Hawthorn 

Filbert Abstract Striped Henley Blouse -Large $58

This top I had seen on pinterest and loved it on there so I was excited to see it in my box. I was so so about it after trying it on. It puckered just a touch at the buttons. But the fabric is beyond soft and I loved that. I later tried it on for my Fiancé and he hated it. So that pushed my thoughts on it sone. Ultimately I could not convince myself it was worth keeping when he did not like it and I did not love it. 

So it was returned. 

#4

Pixley

Mille Textured Dress -Large $68

We both loved this dress! It was cute and very comfy. It was a touch to small. Could not quite get the zipper all the way up. But I contacted stitch fix to exchange it for the next size up.

so it was kept. 

And last but not least 

#5

Le Lis 

Tessa Lace Detail Dress -Large $74

I thought this one was cute, but it was a lot like the dress I kept in my last fix and my fiance again did not like this one. It fit very well and was comfy. I would recommend it to others as well. But with both of those things counted against it I decided to return it. 

I did style it with a belt that made it cuter. 

All photos taken by my Fiancé who was lounging on the couch thus the slightly odd angle of the picture. 

I hope you all have enjoyed my sharing of my stitch fix box. And if you have any questions feel free to ask.
