My 2nd Box- :(

Round 2...

I received my 2nd Stitch Fix, Friday. I was excited to see what they picked for me. I opened it up and was really excited at first. Then I read my "note", and she suggested that the shoes included would go with he dress and the shorts. Not sure that I would put that together.

The shoes- Nine West Yippee T-strap Sandals

I think they would have fit had the straps across the toes would have not been so tight.  I don't know that I would have picked bluish purple sandals either.  I had a friend over last night and she tried them on, same thing.



The shorts- Dear John Finnegan Roll Cuff Shorts

These had a weird fit. They were tight, but if they had been a tad bit looser, I would have kept these. They were in a light lilac color, very cute.


The dress- 41Hawthorn Rocco Jersey Faux Wrap Dress

She suggested this for a night out while we are on vacation. It's a cute wrap dress, but very heavy stretch fabric. No way, I would have chosen this at a store.

The jeans- Kut From the Kloth Kate Distressed Boyfriend Jeans

This was the only item I debated about keeping. They fit well, but were a bit to long, even rolled  up. I have a similar pair, so decided that I really didn't need another pair like those. 

The top- Fun2Fun Ronald Front Pocket Blouse

I really liked this one. But it was a little tight in the bust.  The pattern is so cute and fresh.



Summary- I was really hoping for some casual outfits for our trip. I wrote a more specific want request and still didn't hit a homerun. I am kind of disappointed and will wait a few months before I do it again. I would like to find another service like this and see how it is compared to stitch fix.  As you might be able to tell, I didn't keep anything.

My new love!



I can't say enough how much I am in love with this tank!  I have it in this blue and an army green. I would totally buy the black one, but I've been told I have way to much black in my wardrobe. Not sure what that is supposed to mean :)  I have tried on the white one, but it's a bit see thru for me.

First Box

My first StitchFix box arrived Friday, April 29th.  I was super excited to see what inside.   before I opened the 2 packages inside, I read over the intro card and inspiration guide. There was also a price sheet enclosed. 

First up, was a black dolman knit top.  I really liked the feel of it, super soft and cozy. I tried it on with the jeans I had on.  I didn't want to take it off!  



Next was a floral, peach/tan, very sheer, clingy, and WAY to big top. As you can tell, I was not impressed by this one.  


Then there was a navy and peach trimmed open backed top. I wasn't very excited about this one either. It's nice on the hanger, but not on me. 


The stylist suggested that the 3 tops would work well with the peach/coral skirt that was included. The skirt was ok, but a bit more see-thru than I would have picked.  I have seen more coverage skirts for a smaller price. 

Last, but not least, was the pretty blue/gray cross-body purse. Adjustable, and just enough room, for my huge wallet, keys and a few other things.   


To sum up, for my first box, it was a fairly good experience. I only kept the purse and probably would have kept the black shirt, but when I tried it on with other things in my closet, I didn't like it as much.   I filled out the survey questions about each item, to assist for the next time.  I will continue to add things I really like to my pinterest page and I have updated what I would like on my next box.  

I think I would almost like 5 separate items than 4 things that are supposed to go together. There's always next time.

 Let me know what you experience has been, if you have tried StitchFix or another box subscription service.
