stitch fix #6

Stitch Fix Box #6 was scheduled to arrive today, but lo and behold it arrived Friday. What a nice surprise! I immediately ripped the box open and was pretty excited about what it contained. I was almost certain I'd be keeping it all...but definitely needed to try them on. Sometimes you think an item is PERFECT...then you put it on and it's so not perfect. And other times you think an item isn't worth trying on at all, and magically it looks amazing on. I had to wait until after Kellan went to bed to do the whole try it on/take pictures/decide shebang.

If you're new to the Stitch Fix concept, click HERE. This will take you to their website with my referral link. You can try your first box, and as soon as you receive it I get a $25 credit :) I'd like to thank Sarah S. and Jennie G. who used my referral link from my LAST BLOG POST and therefore gave me $50 credit toward this fix!!! My LAST BLOG POST about Stitch Fix also goes into lots of details about how it works, if you're interested in reading. My note to my stylist for this fix was that the school year was beginning and I'd be needing some dressy items for work that would transition nicely from summer to fall.

Here's the first item I pulled out from the box. In the banner are my immediate thoughts:

I always need dressy white tops for work. They go with pretty much any bottom. Here it is on:

Totally love it. My husband was watching me as I was going through the box, trying things on, and taking pictures. He did want me to be sure I knew I should wear "one of those camo things underneath"...(cami). Thanks dear ;) Definitely keeping this one!


Next item I pulled out made me do a double-take. It is the exact same top as the white one, with a pattern. I thought that was really odd. But, since I loved the white one so much, I thought why not?

I tried this one on and Pat said he really liked it, even better than the white one, because it was very flattering. Here it is on:

I love the pattern on this, especially because it's not chevron (overused)...but similar and trendy. Keeping this one as well. I can wear it with jeans, nice slacks, and skirts.


Another top for the next item. This stylist totally got my obsession with white and navy. Again, so glad they refer back to my Pinterest page.

At first I thought it was kind of boring, until I turned it over. Cute little bow in the back. Will be great for fall. Here it is on:

Pat didn't have much to say about this one, but I don't own anything similar to it so I'm for sure keeping it. Plus it was the lowest priced item this fix. If it were super expensive, I might have sent it back...no actually I wouldn't. It's navy and white ;)

Now to the skirt (which I asked for). You can see my first thought in the banner. I was also thinking, I love black and white, but I don't like the pattern. And The band at the top will probably cut in to my stomach and give me a muffin top.

This is one of those items you have little hope for. I'm going to try it on because that's kind of one of the obligations when you get your fix. You gotta try the stuff on if nothing more than to provide sizing feedback to your stylist. I was very surprised! Here it is on (and the pictures are horrible because I was standing on my toes for you to see it and couldn't hold still enough to prevent camera shake):

I love the slight flare at the bottom. I also didn't have a muffin top *bonus* like I thought I would. I thought it was very flattering and could be worn both to work and out casually. A little more than I think it's worth, but I'm keeping it.

Finally is the dress. This is the 2nd dress I've gotten in a fix, and the first dress was not flattering. I love the look of this dress:

It's a color I don't already have. I really love the faux leather accents on the pockets, neckline, shoulders, and wrists. It appeared to be big enough not to be too clingy. I really don't want to post this picture because I don't think it's very flattering. But here it is on:

So first, you can see through it. I'm going to have to find something to wear under it to prevent the transparency. Secondly, it is clingy. I have this little bump of a tummy that I haven't been able to get rid of after Kellan's birth. This dress does not forgive that bump. I'm hoping however that eventually the bump will be gone. Or, I could just buy some Spanx. Or a really good full body slip.

If I were to return anything, it'd be the dress because it's the least flattering piece. BUT. If I return the dress, I lose the Buy Five Discount of 25%, and the fix would end up costing me $4 more than if I kept it all. So I'm keeping it all and praying for a belly miracle ;) 

The merchandise total was $282. The Buy 5 Discount was $70.50. I had a credit of $50 from my referrals. So I'm paying $161.50. That's an average of $32.30/piece. I thought that was a nice deal for a back to school box, eh?

If I've convinced you to give it a try, please kindly use my referral link by clicking HERE. Please and THANK YOU!!! Once you receive your fix, I'd love to see what you get. It's so great to get pieces you'd never pick out for yourself. It almost forces you to branch out with your style.

Yours,
