Stitch Fix #9

This is a review of my 9th box from Stitch Fix. I was super excited to open it the minute I saw it on the porch!  I decided to try Stitch Fix a while ago when I heard about it from a friend. I usually shop at the same stores over and over again and felt that maybe I could use a little push from a stylist. My boxes each time have been pretty reflective of my style, with some "out of my comfort zone" items thrown in. They have a neat app now for the iPhone. It's an easy way to fill out the style quiz and leave notes for your stylist and more.  If you're interesting in trying out Stitch Fix- click my referral link below.

Here's my review!

I love the personal notes from my stylist each time. I loved Katherine! If you are thinking about trying Stitchfix, I highly recommend making a Style board on Pinterest and link it to your style profile in Stitchfix. I love that the stylists usually look at it and I can pin items that I'm currently loving in hopes of receiving something similar in my fix! 

Item #1: Market & Spruce- Bernadette Lace Overlay 

Raglan Top $58

    

I didn't take a picture of me in this top...it unfortunately was a big short due to my bust. It was so pretty and soft! I loved the style. I'd probably ask for the next size up. Absolutely loved the look and feel of this shirt. One of my friend's college aged daughter loved it, so she ended up buying it from my box! 

So the verdict was....keep! 

Item #2: Crescent Rita Embroidered Tunic $58

I loved the embroidery and color of this tunic. The cut wasn't the most flattering unfortunately. Baggy in the bust area doesn't help when your already well endowed. Style wise, it was a hit for sure! It's a very light and airy tunic and would look darling with skinny jeans. 

Verdict...returned.

Item #3: Le Lis Bonneau 3/4 Sleeve Mixed Material Knit Top $54

(Excuse my weird facial expressions....I forgot to crop a few of these pics! ha!)

While very cute....this top didn't really wow me. Not enough to pay $58. It is a very comfy shirt and the style was nice. I wish the print material would have gone all the way down the back of the shirt instead of going back to the black material at the bottom. 

Verdict.....returned.

Item #4: Papermoon Waters Printed Maxi Dress $68

I LOVED this dress. It was very soft and just the right length. It is sleeveless, but for school I'd wear it with a jean jacket or cardigan. I had requested a few maxi dresses and Katherine certainly delivered! The print is fun too! I'm still on the fence about keeping this dress because the other maxi that came in my box might be even more loved.....

Verdict....undecided.

Item #5: Gilli Shay Maxi Dress $78

This one was the WINNER of the box for me. The print is fun, the material is light and the top is a pretty wrap style. Very flattering. I loved how it looks by itself or with a sweater/cardigan. Plus, it has so many colors in the bottom half that I can mix and match it with all kinds of sweaters and jewelry! I can't wait to wear this in the next couple of months. 

Verdict......KEEP!!

It's so much fun getting a Stitchfix box in the mail! If you've been on the fence about it, you have to try it! Especially if you hate shopping...it's awesome having someone do it for you! The neat thing is that once you try Stitchfix, you can share your experience with friends and earn referral credits towards your next fix!

Five for Friday

 I hope to blog about things other than 5 for Friday next week! Ha! 

1. Stitchfix #9- Yes, this is getting a post of it's own tomorrow. I plan on taking pictures but in better light! Let's just say that it was a perfect 5 box!! I asked for some pretty maxi dresses and my stylist Katherine delivered! I haven't decided if I am going to keep it all or not....decision, decisions! If you haven't tried Stitchfix yet, you gotta check it out!

2. School fun- Dr. Seuss' Birthday

It's always fun dressing as our favorite book characters! A few of us decided to be the Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle. I had kiddos dressed as Biscuit, Pete the Cat, Cat in the Hat, Fern from Charlotte's Web and many more! My sweet kinders were so excited to tell each other why they chose to dress as their favorite characters. 

3. Unpacking.....

I hate packing and unpacking suitcases. Anyone else have this issue? It drives Josh nuts! This suitcase will most likely still be sitting here a week from now. Of course, most of what's in there is clean (seriously..put it away, MICHELLE). The reason that most of it is clean is because I am a serial over packer. You can never be too prepared. Where did I go you ask? See #4.

4. Time with family

It's a perk to have a brother and sister-in-law who are flight attendants. I had a free flight that had to be used before March 2nd, so I decided to visit my cousin Bethany. Bethany, Torrey and their sweet baby Judah are some of my favorite people. I'm blessed that God gave me such wonderful family. The flight getting there deserves a post of it's own. I had such a great visit. Bethany and Torrey are wonderful parents. It makes me tear up seeing how great they are with baby Judah. Since it seems like we are forever stuck in a younger age then we actually are, realizing that your cousins are married and have kids just blows the mind. He's a lucky little boy to have such great parents.There is no doubt that he is loved! What a smiley, happy baby boy he is! I definitely got in a lot of baby snuggles and kisses to last me a while. Wish we lived closer to them! 

5. Future

Been a little frustrated with the whole process of our next frozen embryo transfer. I need to have a procedure (scope) done in my uterus to make sure I have no issues with my lining. This is good...I guess no use wasting more time and money trying again and again if there's a larger issue hindering success. I'm praying for patience in dealing with my doctor and nurses and for the extra time that is added to this whole process now. Nothing about this is convenient. So frustrating. I keep praying that 2016 will be our year to start a family. 

Stitch Fix #7

Stitchfix #7!

This is a review of my lucky 7th box from Stitch Fix. What fun it is to see that little box waiting on my doorstep! I decided to try Stitch Fix a while ago when I heard about it from a friend. I felt that I'm always pretty "safe" with my style choices and felt that maybe I could use a little push from a stylist. My boxes each time have been pretty reflective of my style, with some "out of my comfort zone" items thrown in. If you're interesting in trying out Stitch Fix- click my referral link below.

                                      Nothing like coming home to that little box at my doorstep!

I'm absolutely requesting Georgia again for my next fix. She got my style and sent me some great items. I just need to update some of my sizes. 

Item #1: Coffeeshop- Safi Plaid Tie Waist Jacket     $88.00

Oh my word, I was beyond excited to see this coat in my fix. I had specifically asked for a cute and girly winter coat and Georgia totally sent me one that fit the bill! I actually pinned two very similar jackets on my Pinterest board. It fit perfect in the arms and waist...but of course, darn boobs wouldn't allow it to button! I wanted to CRY!!! So unfortunately, will not be keeping but I already scheduled my next fix and asked for the same or similar coat in a size larger. 

 

               Item #2: If by Sea- Solei Lace Sleeve Detail Knit Top    $44.00

                     This top was very cute and I loved the lace detail on the sleeves and the color. The fabric was really nice too. Everything was awesome about this top except it was a little short and boxy. Really on the fence about this one though. It is a cute top. 

Item #3: Absolutely- Elberta Pointelle Detail Cowl Neck Sweater      $68.00

Only miss of the box. I guess I should have mentioned in my style profile that I don't like sweaters with holes. (Funny thing to be particular about..ha!)

Item #4: Liverpool-Anita Skinny Pant       $78

I didn't request any pants in my fix and I probably won't anymore. These pants actually were really soft and I like the color but they were really stretchy and by the end of me trying them on the knees were already looking stretched out. I hate wearing pants that are baggy by the end of the day. I'm also wearing pants a size smaller lately (yay! Don't know why?! Being off hormones currently must help my waistline!) so these would definitely be pretty baggy by the end of the day. So these are not a keeper. Oh well. 

Item #5: Market and Spruce- Crowley Mixed Media Knit Top      $48.00

I've been eyeing these on Pinterest and in other bloggers fix reviews. There are so many cute mix media tops to choose from! I love the one my stylist picked, the plaid is so perfect for the holiday! This was probably my favorite item (beside the coat) from this fix. This was a definite keeper. I love the fabric, length, color and pattern on the back.  Win, Win! The front is solid blue. Didn't get a picture of the front! Oops!

Even though I am not keeping all the items, this was one of my best fixes yet! Georgia was a great stylist and I know with my feedback she will send me another great fix next month! I scheduled to receive my next one the first week of December. I requested a coat, cute holiday dress and some more longer length tops or waterfall cardigans. I'm excited already!

Stitchfix #6

I was excited to come home to a pretty pile of packages at my door. One of them was my Stitchfix box! (The other two were from JCPenney's, new couch slipcovers!)

This is a review of my 6th box from Stitch Fix. What fun it is to see that little box waiting on my doorstep! I decided to try Stitch Fix a while ago when I heard about it from a friend. I felt that I'm always pretty "safe" with my style choices and felt that maybe I could use a little push from a stylist. My boxes each time have been pretty reflective of my style, with some "out of my comfort zone" items thrown in. If you're interesting in trying out Stitch Fix- click my referral link below.

Jeanie- you were a pretty awesome stylist! Out of my box there was only 1 item I disliked! I was bummed about them not having that top that I loved, but I got one today that I like even more! 

Item 1: Collective Concepts May Chevron Print Knit Back Top $54.00

I really liked this top when I pulled it out of the box. Style wise- it was a very cute print and perfect for spring. The fit wasn't awful but it wasn't the best either. I would have liked the length to be a little longer. You can see me wearing the top with item number 2 next. 

Verdict- Return

        

Item #2: Kut From The Kloth Siena Capri Pant $58

Honestly, when I pulled the pants out of the box I thought the material was very weird. But once I had the pants on, I kind of liked that the material was not as heavy and there was a bit of stretch. I haven't decided if I'm keeping these or not, since I already have a couple pairs of capri's. I think I may request in my next box the same pants but in a different color. 

Verdict- Undecided

Item #3: Market and Spruce Sam Hi-Lo Short Sleeve Top- $44.00

I so wanted to love this top.....it kills me. I loved the color and how it looked holding it up but the minute I put it on, I knew it wouldn't work. It's a really soft knit but clingy which just looks all wrong with my chest area. Oh well!

Verdict- Return

Item #4: Papermoon Birch Lace Detail Blouse $44.00

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE (imagine a bunch of heart emoji's). I've been waiting for a stylist to send me a pretty top and I think I hit jackpot with this one. I love the feminine lace and floral print. I also love that it's longer in the back then the front. The tag says it's by Papermoon for Stitchfix, so I know that no one else will be wearing it unless they recieve a Stitchfix box. I can't wait to wear it with rolled up jeans or a cute pair of shorts. 

Verdict- KEEP!

Item #5: Bancroft Sansome Cut Out Spade Drop Earrings $32.00

I forgot to fill out the no jewelry part for this month's box. Oops. While cute, I already have quite a few pairs of gold drop earrings. 

Verdict- Return

This fix was pretty successful. I'm most likely keeping 2 out of 5 items. It's such a fun treat to recieve a box full of goodies from a stylist.
