Stitch Fix ~ #4

My next round of stitch fix came and went! Two items kept this time, and moreover I wasn't too jazzed about my designer this month. Womp. 

They always give you a survey to fill out at the end and I just didn't feel it was very personalized to me this go round. I realize I'm leaving them with limited options requesting only maxi dresses and maxi skirts, but I just wasn't been super stoked. Here's a looksy at my items:

1. These gorgey earrings (kept)

2. This maxi skirt (returned) - while cute in pictures it was the most unflattering maybe ever. Byyyye Felicia. 

3. This maxi dress (returned) - the cut was just so wrong, this is everything I stay away from while shopping for myself because this cut on me is so unflattering. No thanks. 

4. This maxi skirt (kept) - I was on board with this one. It's a cute pattern and has almost a jean look while being super light and flowy, so I think this is a good summer addition. 

5. This maxi dress (returned) - I feel like this is crazy similar to the dress I returned last month and I wanna be like come on man! You can do better! 

Two keeps, three returns. I'm gonna  keep it up, because I do really enjoy it. But I was a little bummed this month because I had a lot of events I could have used new items for. Let's see how the improvements go next month! 

Stitch Fix ~ #3

Howdy ya'll. You read that title right, Stitch Fix came again this month and I was pretty happy with this month's selection. We've still got a ways to go, but I LOVED two of the shirts this go round. Furthermore, it's probably good that they send a few items I like and don't love, otherwise we'd be racking up a hefty bill :)

Thanks to be being laid up, I had a personal assistant with this month's shipment, Penny (my momma) was behind the iPhone with this month's fix. Thanks momma bear!

Item #1 ~ Dolce Vita, Ross Suede Wedges (returned)

• These were cute, but just too chunky for my style. Plus the yellow color was a little off for me.

Item #2 ~ Fate, Ruby Maxi Dress (returned)

• This was super cute too, and with wedding season quickly approaching I'm in need of some good Maxi dresses to keep this awesome looking scar covered up. But, unfortunately it didn't make the cut. The outer layer was sheer, and the under layer was one of those shorter dresses and to be honest it was just too short. My little booty would have been making an appearance at the wedding and we just can't have all that. 

Item #3 ~ Paper Crown, Elphias Split Neck Blouse (kept)

• This was a keeper for sure! It was a great hi-low cut, super flowy, cool and will be an excellent addition to the summer wardrobe. 

Item #4 ~ Market & Spruce, Colleen Cowl Neck Trapeze Knit Top (kept)

• Another love. This is why I love stitch fix. These are the items I always want to buy, but they're outside my norm and therefore, I usually don't take the time to try them on to see if I even like them. But, thanks to this little diddy, I get to try them on in the comfort of my own home! And I loved it!

Item #5 ~ Just Black, Adorra Skinny Jean (returned)

• I said it from the beginning, unless they blow my mind ... I'm not keeping jeans. So adios. 

As always, excited for my next fix! Let me know if you end up signing up, I'd love to see your fixes too.

Stitch Fix ~ Number 2

Hey gang! I'm back today with another Stitch Fix Reveal. My first fix came last month and I was excited to give it another go this time around. Here's the goodies that were neatly packaged for me this time.

• #1 ~ These cute Dolce Vita booties (returned)
• I really just couldn't decide if I loved or hated the slip on. And finally decided, while I thought they were super cute I couldn't love them, so they had to go back. 

•  #2 ~ These black leggings (returned)
• While cute and great quality, something this momma does not need another pair of, leggings. Byyyye.

•  #3 ~ This purple fringe top (kept!)
• This one I loved! It would be something in a store I would look at, pick up and then put back down because I couldn't decide. But when it's shipped to my door it's a keeper. Plus I love how simple it is while having a little bit of pizazz. 

•  #4 ~ This adorable speckled top (kept!)
• It's flow, flirty, all things spring and can be dressed up or down. Yep it's in the closet and already been worn twice. 

•  #5 ~ This speckled hi-low dress (returned)
• This one was super cute too. But I just don't need a dress right now, so it got returned. 

I think there is still room for improvement, but from what I'm hearing that's pretty normal. The more fixes you get, the more they familiarize themselves with your style. Excited to check in next month with more goodies!

Stitch Fix - Number 1

Happy Monday gang!! It's been a LONG weekend around here to say the least. I'll give you the full rundown on that once I finally have a few moments to myself. But for now, I'm simply gonna hit publish on this little diddy I wrote a few weeks ago.

Mama got me such a fun Valentine's Day gift this year! She signed us up for Stitch Fix and said it would be something fun we could do together every couple of months.  When I lived in Louisville we always found time to stop in a boutique or hit up a cute store every now and again. But, now that I'm in Nashville it's a little more challenging for us to pick up on a whim and get it done. So this is a fun way for us to "shop together" and giggle over fun, cute finds. Thanks mama for thinking of me even when I'm far away. 

For those of you that are unfamiliar, Stitch Fix works like this ... as written on their website:

You can always choose an alternative date that better suits your needs or opt out of regularly scheduled shipments entirely. Stitch Fix does not require a membership fee or a monthly subscription.

So, I was so excited when I got home from the Bahamas and my first one was waiting on my door step! EEEK!

Item #1: Bancroft, Leighton Metal Bauble Necklace (returned)

Item #2: Market & Spruce, Baka Henley Top

Item #3: Market & Spruce, Elmira Jacket (returned)

The designer did a good job with this one. It is super cute and totally up my alley. But, I literally own something almost identical and have several hunter green tops already, so it just didn't quite make the cut. Sowwy. 

Item #4: 41Hawthorne, Renesme Geo Cube Print Faux Wrap Dress (returned)

Item #5: Henry & Belle, Jaylie Skinny Jean (returned)

While these jeans were really cute, I have a jean addiction and own way too many pair. Ask any of my high school friends and they can attest this and sweat pant hoarding is a real problem for me. So, I committed to myself before even starting this process ... unless the jeans fit me PERFECT or are completely different (style, look, color) than something I already own ... I will not be keeping jeans. 

So, while my first Stitch Fix wasn't the most successful in regards to "kept pieces", I'm not closing the book just yet. It was still super fun and there's no membership fee or monthly subscription so why not participate?! Such a great concept and fun way for momma and I to continue our bad habits, even if we're miles away! Love you momma ... and new Baka top! Hehe.
