My third "fix" arrived from Stitch Fix the other day. They knocked it out of the park this time around. I loved every single piece in the box. Every piece is fantastic and I can really feel the quality. Thank you, Miranda! (my stylist for this fix.)
In case you missed my previous post containing Fix #2, Stitch Fix is like having a personal stylist at your finger tips.
To recap, you pay them a $20 styling fee and they send you five glorious items of fashion forward garments specifically picked based on your style profile. The $20 is applied to the purchase of one or all of the items they send. If nothing suits your fancy, simply mail back the clothing in the pre-paid mailer and your only out 20 bucks. (It covers their styling fee and the shipping back and forth) I LOVE this concept and so far, I have yet to lose my styling fee.
Fist thing I noticed - snazzy new packaging! I'm a design geek and these things impress me.
Ok, - so here it is (but once again, I would like to note that I am not, nor do I believe I am, a model) Forgive the pale New England complexion and funny faces):
Item #1:
First out of the box and TOTALLY IN LOVE WITH is Kensie Bay Polka Dot Cropped Skinny Jeans. I love the subtle polka dots on the denim - they are surprisingly fun. I paired them with my striped 3/4 length tee and a bold orange necklace. I love the way the two patterns contrast each other, but again the subtle polka dots are not at all overwhelming. I want to keep these. I want to live in these. But they are one size too small. I mentally tried to talk myself into thinking they fit, but I have to remind myself of one of my fashion rules: "Just because they zip, doesn't mean they fit". I will request them in my next fix a size larger. These will be mine.
Item #2:
Natural Life Chaimbers Knit Cowlneck Top. It's blue. It's soft. It's flattering. I think I could happily live in this simple little top. I think it works well with jeans for a casual look, but I am still trying to figure out how to make it business-y. I thought maybe with my white pencil skirt, but I realized I didn't have great shoes to go with it. I may need to remedy this. What do you think? A keeper?
Item #3:
Hello, I am in serious love with this Daniel Rainn Bilson Pleated Tab Sleeved Blouse. It's so flowy and feminine. The pleated detailing on the front and the tabbed sleeves are just a combination made in perfection. I love that I can wear it with black leggings or jeans and boots or tuck it into trousers or a pencil skirt and transform it into work wear. This is a keeper.
Item #4:
I figured while I was wearing this top, I should go for a double whammy Stitch Fix Combo. Here is the Aryn K Flora Chiffon Trim Blazer. I love this blazer. It's a straight cut, slightly short and trimmed with delicate chiffon. I threw it on with the blouse and pencil skirt to make a "suit" and for the most part it worked. I then moved onto a more casual, fun look with jeans. I like it a lot - I just can't figure out if the sleeves are too short or suppose to be that length. Thoughts? Are the sleeves suppose to be that length? Should I keep it?
Item #5:
Last but not least, is this most awesome Westgate Shirt Dress from Costa Blanca. I like when I can winterize a dress and pairing this one with leggings, boots and a comfy cashmere scarf is a look I can live in. I think the bare legs version needs some work - different shoes for sure. Maybe black heels or flats? Even some colored tights would make it fun. Regardless of the accessories kinks to be worked out, this is a definite keeper!
