Stitch Fix #2

I received my second "fix" Friday and it was a great way to end a long day! When I opened my box I was somewhat expecting a couple things I had pretty specifically requested. However, both items were not there and as I pulled out the pieces I wondered what I had done to give the stylist the impression I would like the items. Two of them I really like right out of the box but the others, not so much. My parents had come by for a bit and were here when I opened the box and as my Mom said, just try them on, you never know. Well she was right. After they left, I went upstairs and tried them on. The two pieces I liked out of the box I still really liked when I put them on. The others I was surprised to actually like, one more than the others. If it were up to me, I'd consider keeping all but one of the items but Albert said one of them did flatter me well and was just kinda of blah and realistically, he was right. So now I am wanting to keep 3 of them but finacially should only keep 2.

As far as the items I was somewhat expecting, there was a note, as usual, in the box stating that she, the stylist, couldn't find the piece's and right size of one of them and the other not the right colors. Both are somewhat non Summer items and they are starting to bulk up on Summer items and deplete their stock of Winter/Spring items; which is understandable. However, if I kept my request current they would keep attempting to get them for me. Yay. I attempted and pictures again. These are better but still not good; hopefully next time will be better.

So my first item was 41Hawthorn Flynn Colorblock Sleeveless blouse. It's a dark blue/navy with a true green border. I wasn't sure about this when I pulled it out of the box but once I put it on I really liked it. It's a fitted, yet comfortable and airy top and I love the length. I can see it being dressed up or worn with a cute pair of shorts or jeans. I'm pretty sure I will be keeping this one.




My second item was also a 41Hawthorn beaded Neckline Blouse. I liked the detailed neckline and thought it had good potential. However, once I put it on I wasn't sure. It was awfully flow-y and didn't have much shape. If I had a smaller frame, I'd love it but I don't and it just wasn't very flattering. Albert also wasn't a fan; he said it was to plain. That was true too so I'll be sending this one back.



My third item was a Daniel Rann Tolley Crochet Panel Top. For some reason as soon as I pulled this out I thought it was cute. I wasn't sold on the lace part yet but liked it. It has a camisole attached underneath with was nice since it is fairly sheer. The cami is fitted where the outer layer is airy yet had shape. I really liked it on and so did Albert. It pairs well with my jeans and I am sure it will go with shorts or capris too. I plan on keeping this one for sure.




For my fourth item was a Renee C Melisa Printed Pencil skirt. As soon as I pulled it out I knew I wouldn't keep it but my Mom insisted I try it on so I did and still didn't like it. Sure, it was cute but I had no idea when I'd wear it. Heck, as you can see I don't even have a hanger for it. It was very form fitting which would be fine if I had something to wear it with or wear it to. Regardless, I am not a skirt person. Maybe someday I will be but right now I am not so I will be sending this back too.



My fifth and final item was a Loveappella Evie Draw String Funnel neck Sweatshirt. As soon as I pulled this out I liked it. It's a deep lavender color, so of course Antonio loves it too! It's pretty lightweight and I'd have to wear something underneath it' like a cami now or long-sleeved short in cooler months. I tried it on and still liked it, a lot. However, as I wore it I started to get warm with it on, even with a cami underneath. I'm leaning towards sending it back, mainly because the weather will only be getting warmer and it will help my bank account. Ha! If I do send it back, I will definitely request it again in the Fall. 




All in all I was pretty happy with this fix. I would've liked more spring colors so I'll add that to my request for my next one. One of my favorite things about Stitch Fix is that all the items are things I most likely would not try on in a store but I received them in my box so I tried them on and ended up glad I did. I'm already looking forward to my next Fix! :) 

If you're thinking about trying it, you should. The absolute worst thing is that you lose $20, but I'm betting you won't because you'll want to keep at least one item! Its so convenient and the shipping is free both ways, they even send you a prepaid bag to mail any items you don't want (if there is anything) back to them. Besides, who doesn't want a box of clothes mailed to them to try on at home?!?! When you are ready..... https://www.stitchfix.com :)
