Stitch Fix #3

They say, 3rd times a charm.

They also say, the more specific feedback and requests you give, the better the "fix".

Both are true in my most recent fix and is the best one yet! In fact, I am tempted to keep it all for a couple reasons. For one, I love all the items, they are all very comfy and casual enough, yet nice enough that I could wear them no matter what I am doing or where I am going. The other reason being if I keep them all I get a 25% discount off the total. To give you an idea that would be, in this particular fix, the discounted dollar amount $74, plus my $20 styling fee that goes towards what I buy. So almost $100 or getting 2 (and a half) items for free, FREE! Or it balances every item out to be about $40 which because I have 2 items that are on the expensive side makes it even more tempting.

I really do like/love all the items except for 1 and another could maybe go up a size, maybe. So I just don't know what to do. If I only keep the items I really like, 2 for sure and maybe 3, I am spending almost half of the total I would spend if I kept all of them. Oye. Do you see my dilemma?! I'd appreciate any feedback you have!

So moving on to what I got. I just had a good feeling when I opened the box and saw the snippets of what was inside.



First up is Fun2Fun Baker Split Neck Blouse. 

Its a good fit and I really like the colors but I am not 100% on the pattern. However, while trying on and showing each item to Albert he said he really liked this one which means it couldn't have been so bad. 




Verdict. I'm not sure yet. I'd love to keep it but if some items have to go this could be one of them.


Next. Mavi Sonja Boyfriend Jean. 

Man, these jeans are amazing, so comfortable and soft, yes, soft. I made Albert feel them and he even said, "wow, nice". They are are perfect length and fit through my legs great, (do you hear the but coming...) but they are a lower waistline and a tiny bit snug which in turn gives me a slight muffin top. (ahhh, nooooooooo!) They do have spandex in them so I think they might stretch and be fine but its been so friggin' hot here yesterday and today that I can't bear to wear them around the house to see if they do. They are also my most expensive item, by far. Insert my dilemma, keep everything they drop to about $40 and then its an even better pair of jeans. :)  Also, its June and if the summer stays like the past two days have been weather wise I do not need another pair of jeans. BUT...they are so soft and with wearing jeans to work everyday it would be nice to have a pair that weren't for work. Hmmmm.....



Verdict. Undecided. Honestly, if I don't keep it all, I think they will go back. Between the snug waistline, price and its summer, I can't justify keeping them if I don't keep everything else. 


Next up. Out From The Kloth Callie Denim Jacket. 

I can't say enough about this one. I love it, plain and simple. I pretty much knew as soon as I put it on it was staring here with me! It fits like a glove, no joke, almost as if it was made for me. It too, is so soft and cozy. Like the jeans it has a bit of spandex in it to keep it soft and moveable versus stiff like most denim is. I can see myself wearing this all the time. In fact when Antonio and went to Target this morning I wore it there. Love, love, love it! I didn't know I needed it until today! 



Verdict. Who cares if it is Summer, I'll be wearing this thing all the time! Keep!!!!

Next up is THML Kahlo Short Sleeve Knit Top.  

I also really liked this one as soon as I put it on. It's cotton so very comfortable and thin, but not cheap thin. It has that cut where it is shorter in the frot and longer in the back but I like it a lot! Its a different style for me, one that I most likely would not try on at a store but turns out I really like it. 


 (see the front versus back length)


(sorry all my pictures seem so dark. :( )

Verdict. Keep. I can see myself wearing this through Fall and Winter too. 

Last but no least. Market & Spruce Amberley Cut Out Detail Knit Top.  

I wasn't sure about this one because of the horizontal stripes but the back is so cute. When I put it on, I thought my eyes were tripping out. I walked out to show Albert and he said he didn't like it because it was hard to look at. Ha. I was glad it wasn't just me. Its almost like it is to busy or something. It is also more on the very fitted side than I am comfortable with, please ignore the middle extra tire section. :/ Right there is motivation to get out and run/walk again...



(so unflattering. ugh.)

Verdict. Sending back. The main reason anything goes back... So sad because I really, really like everything else. Part of me is trying to figure a reason to keep it, which is also why I shouldn't. Keeping it would bring the average cost way down. Assuming I send it back, means I really can't keep everything else; its way more than I should spend. Sigh.

So all in all, I loved this fix. The first couple were great but I'm learning what I like and want and what I don't like. Each fix that gets scheduled I am getting more and more specific. I also really like my stylist this time; Jordan. I may even request her again. They say you can do that so I may have to try. I am still loving Stitch Fix and would highly recommend it. Shopping with a 5 year old is a pain and so hard. Heck, I don't even know what is in fashion anymore, so having Stitch Fix send me clothes that I know are in fashion and fit is amazing! I love it. Did you know Birkenstocks are back?! At least Target is selling them like they are... who knew?! 

If you decide you want to try it out, you so should, let me know I will send you a friend referral code to use or just use this one HERE. If you use my code it gives me credit! :)
