{stitch fix: box 2}

i love getting real mail.  always have.  however, knowing that my fix is on its way is almost too much! i love seeing the package safely on my porch so i can check out my stylist's picks.  this box was just as good as the last. (don't mind my hair..it was wind blown from recess duty and rained on...it's a hot mess!)

 

1. Pixley Multi-Stripe Knit Dress

 

i asked for a dress that was dressy casual because john and i are going to vancouver in june and the first night we are there we have a cocktail reception and dinner that we will have to dress up for.  i'm not a huge fan of dresses, but they are growing on me.  i really liked this the moment i put it on.  i like the stripes going various ways and felt they were slimming across the stomach area.  it was really comfortable too! verdict: keeping!

 

 2. Fun2Fun Broadway Crochet Detail Blouse

3. Margaret M Emer Textured Cropped Straight Leg Pant

this is a light weight sheer, high low blouse (it's higher in the front and longer in the back).  i actually liked this and could see myself wearing this on a date night or to work.  the cuffs on the arms are a little restricting, but still really found myself liking this.  verdict: keeping 

 

i also asked for a fun color capri/pant. i specifically said kelly green or coral.  my stylist definitely read my note and found these for me.  these pants are amazingly soft and stretchy. they have texture to them to add a little flair.  i loved them from the moment i put them on.  however, i have read that they stretch out quite a bit when wearing and it's suggested to size down.  i emailed customer service to see if they had a smaller size but they didn't.  i'm hoping they don't stretch too much because i love them too much to send back! verdict: keeping!

 

4. Le Sample Kahlo Embroidered Racerback Tank

i really wanted to like this tank and i even have it pinned on my board in a different color.  however, i just didn't like it on.  i would have to buy a different bra since it's racer back and that seemed like a lot of work. i put it up for grabs on a stitch fix facebook group that i'm part of and i sold it within minutes.  Verdict: not for me, SOLD.

 

Sidenote: remember that identity crisis shirt from my first fix? i sold that one within minutes...score!

 

5. 41Hawthorn Celise Swing Skirt 

 

i didn't like this from the moment i saw it.  it wasn't horrible on, but i just wasn't a fan.  i put this up for sale too but it hasn't sold yet.  no one else must like it either! verdict:  keeping, but just because it's cheaper to buy all five than four.  i'm hoping it will eventually sell. 

 

i had another pleasant experience with stitch fix.  john just signed up for a male version of this because he loves the concept (he actually looked into a service long before i did) and has seen how pleased i am.  i don't have time to shop so this is just perfect.  i feel a little silly blogging about it, but people tell me they are interested in seeing my fixes and i've had 7 people sign up using my referral.  for each person who gets a fix shipped, i get a $25 credit.  love that! can't beat free clothes! if you are the slightest bit interested, i'd encourage you to sign up.  you can get fixes as often or as little as you want. you are charged a $20 styling fee but if you keep anything it is applied to the purchase of your clothes.  if you choose not to keep anything you loose your $20.  it's convenient and fun!
