Stitch Fix #3

Time for another Stitch Fix! I have so much fun getting these fixes and they really blew me away with this one! If you aren't familiar with Stitch Fix, here are some basics:

• Sign up, pay $20 styling fee (that can be used towards your purchase)
• Stylist hand picks 5 pieces that fit your body type and style based on the style profile you fill out
• Box is shipped to you, try on all your pieces, decide what to keep and what to send back (if you keep all 5, you receive a 25% discount)
• Ship all the rejects back in the prepaid envelope that is included

Oh, this sweater!  I barely could bring myself to take if off to get a picture!  It is so thick and warm and exactly what I have been looking for!  I have about 10 of these type of sweaters on my Pinterest board, so I am VERY glad my stylist got the hint ; )

I loved all of the pieces that I was sent!  I wish I could have kept them all but, whomp whomp, I have to follow a budget.  I ending up only keeping that dreamy sweater but my runner up was the grey diamond print tunic. It was thin enough for the very un-fall like weather we get here in SC but also thick enough not to roast.  Overall, this was the best box I have gotten so far and only makes me want to get as many boxes as I can!  If you are curious to see what I got in my other fixes, you can find them here.

Stitch Fix #2

 I finally ordered my second Stitch Fix!  I had high hopes for this fix, since my first one was kind of a let down, and while it was better it certainly didn't blow me away. If you aren't familiar with Stitch Fix, here is the run down:

• Sign up, pay $20 styling fee (that can be used towards your purchase)
• Stylist hand picks 5 pieces that fit your body type and style based on the style profile you fill out
• Box is shipped to you, try on all your pieces, decide what to keep and what to send back (if you keep all 5, you receive a 25% discount)
• Ship all the rejects back in the prepaid envelope that is included

• First, was this very light and airy cardigan. It was super soft and had sleeves that could be worn long or button to 3/4 length.  So so neutral and girly and too boring. I have a LARGE cardigan collection and this just didn't make the cut. (It was also the most expensive item in the box at $98)
• Um...this button up tank. On my style profile I have that I want boho pieces and the stylist said this tank was boho.  Perhaps our ideas of boho are different but this tank is western! Covered in tiny flowers with pearl buttons, I hated it.  

• This dress was cute.  It was a beautiful mint color with tiny polka dots all over and an elastic waist.  The back of the dress has a key hole cutout with a small button closure.  I didn't end up keeping this because 1. it was way too short 2. It felt really cheaply made 3. Summer is almost over and i'm not wanting to add anymore summer pieces to my wardrobe.

• This sweater was the winner!! It was baggy and loose with a woven type of material, its perfect for a crisp fall day. It has large white and multi color stripes. The neckline is larger, almost a boatneck, which is perfect for layering over a tank and throwing on a scarf!  I love love love it!

• Lastly, was this scarf that I also sent back.  It was very soft and comfortable but I have a couple scarves that are very similar.  Also, it was $48 and that seemed a little steep for a scarf.

Overall, this fix was OK.  I would have loved to see more chunky sweaters and layering pieces.  I think I will order another fix in the future but I feeling less excited about it and am not getting my hopes up.  

Let me know what you liked in my fix! If you are wanting to sign up for Stitch Fix here is a link for you to use. If you sign up through that link I get referral points!

Stitch Fix Review & A Giveaway!

I got my first Stitch Fix in the mail last week and I am so excited to share what I got with you! Stitch Fix is basically just a personalized styling service that delivers gorgeous clothing and accessories right to your door! First, you fill out the "in depth" style profile that will help the stylist choose pieces suited perfectly for you. It is super specific down to each detail, colors and fabrics.  If there are certain pieces you are not interested in getting you can say that too!  For example, I didn't want any jewelry or accessories in my box. You can also link an any social media, such as a fashion Pinterest board!

Once you box is all ready to ship you pay a $20 styling fee that can be put towards any pieces that you choose. So fun!  Everything in my box was packaged so perfectly, they really have attention to detail down!  

The first item I got was this coral colored sheer top. It had a super fun triangle almost tribal pattern all over as well as studs on the sleeves and around the neckline.  I was so excited to see this in my box, it is something I would have picked out myself!  Unfortunately, it was TINY!  I mean so small I couldn't even get it over my head. So sad but glad I got to see it.

Next was this peter pan collared tank top. It was a very pretty mint color which is perfect for spring, but I did not like this top at all.  I felt like a little girl when I put it on, just not my style. Also, for reference, it was really short on me (I'm 5'6). Almost a midriff top! 

This cardigan was my absolute favorite item! I am a cardigan fanatic, I wear them year round so I fell in love with this right away. The color was a navy blue with pearl buttons, but what stole the show was the front. It was a little bit lighter blue but was a sheer fabric with laser cut flowers on it. Gorgeous!  I had never seen anything like this. However, it was crazy expensive. Just not in my budget so it had to go back.

Next I got this adorable lace top.  It was a dusty rose color with cap sleeves and a loser fit. It was way to tight across my chest but I almost kept it so I could wear it with my black maxi skirt! Ah! So cute!

Lastly, was this striped skirt. Way to tight and way too short. Back into the box.

So all in all I ended up sending all 5 pieces back. Nothing really fit me well enough to keep so I ended up losing the $20 styling fee, but thats ok. The stylist did such a great job for the first time, I loved most of the pieces they just didnt fit. I will definatly be ordering from Stitch Fix in the future, right after I update my style profile : ) If you are interested in signing up, here is an invite for ya!

Oh, and another cute thing they do is attach this little informational card showing you different ways to style that item. I love that!
