My Next Fix

So I guess I got a second Stitch Fix box this month! I had some referral credit (THANK YOU) and didn't keep everything last time, so it seemed like a good idea to get another box sooner than later!
(update on my last box:  I actually emailed customer service after returning the Edmond Chevron Top and said I regretted sending it back- could I get it sent to me?  And they did!  Plus I kept both dresses.  So it ended up being a 3/5 box last time.  Read on to see what I kept this time!)

Wondering what Stitch Fix is?

The short version:  Stitch Fix is a really cool personal styling service that sends clothing to your door- you keep and pay for what you want and send the rest back. For a $20 styling fee they send you five items that fit your profile based off of a pretty detailed questionnaire you fill out.  After you try everything on and decide what you like, you checkout online and the initial $20 is applied to your purchase (if you don't keep anything at all, you do lose that fee but if you keep something you don't!).  You can choose how often to get boxes- monthly, bi-monthly or once a season, whatever you want- you aren't locked into a subscription at all! Please sign up with my link:https://www.stitchfix.com/referral/3059808 and I get a small amount off my next shipment too.  You'll love it!

Here is the 14th box I've received from Stitch Fix:

 

So I got pretty much what I requested in my note to my stylist this time.  I asked for colored skinny pants, a denim jacket, maxi skirt and short sleeve or sleeveless tanks that I could wear under cardigans now and on their own when it gets warmer.  The items sent seem to fit that to a T, right?

 

 41Hawthorn McAdams Beaded Neckline Blouse and Mavi Aiden Skinny Jeans

This top was a little too baggy/flowy for me.  The note I got suggested pairing these two items together, although the orange on the stitching is more neon-hued which does not go with the more coral orange of the pants.  I don't think I would end up wearing either.  I don't have a cardigan to wear with the top and I have no tops to wear with the pants.  I tried the denim jacket from the fix with this look, and there was just too much fabric on the McAdams blouse so it looked very bunchy underneath- so that's a no-go.  I did like how the top camouflaged my middle, but I think it added some weight to my frame rather than make me look skinnier.  The pants were a good length and they were so soft as well.  It looks better in the picture than I think it did in person though!  STATUS: BOTH RETURNED

Plus, there was some weird bunching of the back of the pants that made this less than a great fit.  I'll keep crossing my fingers for some sort of colored bottoms... although I may move onto cropped pants or capris for my next fix!

 Collective Concepts Esten Button-up Sleeveless Blouse

This was a nice pop of color to find in my fix.   I've seen this top in many shades and I'm glad I didn't get something like navy.  I felt like this blouse was too boxy and the collar seemed to lay funny.  STATUS: RETURNED

 Just USA Anjuli Dark Wash Denim Jacket and Renee C Gabe Maxi Skirt

This denim jacket fit much better that the one I was sent in my last fix.  I liked the cropped fit, but the sleeves were a little long.  I think they look fine cuffed though.  The dark wash is perfect and it doesn't seem too bulky.  My opinion on this skirt changed the most from when I first opened my box to when I packaged up my items to return.  At first, I thought it was too plain and not that special.  But after trying it on, I really liked the fit.  I wish the side and back seams lined up the stripes better.  I was all set to keep it, then I noticed the unfinished edge on the bottom... and then the dry clean only on the tag.  I really, really do not want any dry cleaning clothing and had actually asked several fixes ago to not be sent any.  However, I understand that the stylists that choose the items do not always know what the cleaning instructions are for the items they select.  So then I thought I'd return it... but kept procrastinating on packaging it up.  And then I thought about wearing it to work next week.  So yeah: STATUS:  BOTH KEPT

That makes this fix a 2/5.  With the referral credits I used, it was very reasonable to keep both the jacket and skirt.  Planning on wearing both keepers to work on Monday!
