Happy Valentine’s Day to me! I was excited to get my second Stitch Fix shipment yesterday and it did not disappoint! Conveniently, I was all showered and ready to play dress up when my box arrived.
Colors & patterns galore! There was only one piece I wasn’t immediately drawn to, but we’ll get to that in a sec. 🙂
Let’s get started!
Tart Yusuf Embellished Shoulder Striped Top, $58
Initial impression: Ooooh, navy stripes! Mama likey!
Thoughts: At first glance I was super excited about this shirt. It had some bling on the shoulders so it was different than any of my other striped shirts. I was a little leery about the thin shoulder pads that were under the bling, but after trying it on, I barely noticed the pads.
Ultimately: Sending back. Sadly, this shirt was a little snug and not quite long enough.

41Hawthorn Moni Stud Detailed 3/4 Sleeve Blouse, $58
Initial impressions: Oh no, gauzy material shirt again. Not sure about this one, but I’m willing to keep an open mind.
Thoughts: I liked the color and the interesting details. The sleeves are very unique and I thought the shirttail hemline was flattering on me. When I first slipped it over my head I was worried it was going to be a little tight, but once I got it on all the way, it was a perfect fit!
Ultimately: Keeping! I don’t have anything like this in my closet and the fit combined with unique details, make it a WINNER!

Sanctuary Rizzo Skinny Ponte Pants, $88
Initial impressions: Meh, black pants. With my luck they probably won’t fit.
Thoughts: Sorry for showing you my buttocks up there, but I wanted to show that the pants have fake pockets so they look like jeans (click photo to make bigger), but they are comfortable like leggings. The material is quite thick so there’s no sheerness to it at all. They’re a teensy bit long, but they can easily be hemmed or rolled up (please ignore my uneven roll job above. :P).
Ultimately: Keeping. The cost was a bit on the high side, but I could tell that they were good quality and they fit me like a glove! I foresee these being worn a LOT.

Lily Josefina Knit Chevron Pencil Skirt, $68
Initial impressions: This skirt was the one thing that I was not feeling at all, but I reserved complete judgement until I tried it on.
Thoughts: It’s made of a stretchy material so it’s very comfy to wear, but not only was I not digging the print or the color, it was a little longer than I like and maybe just a smidgen too big.
Ultimately: Sending back

41Hawthorn Lara Bicycle Print Infinity Scarf, $36
Initial impressions: The first thing to catch my eye. Great color & print!
Thoughts: It’s a light weight summer scarf and the bicycle print is to.die.for! I super duper duper love it, BUT…I’m not a summer scarf girl and I’m just not sure how often I’ll wear it.
Ultimately: Sending back. This one actually makes me really sad to send back. I haven’t packed it up yet so I may still decide to keep it. I don’t know that I can part with these adorable bicycles! Thoughts? Yay/Nay? Am I crazy to love it so much? Update: I begrudgingly sent it back. 🙁

SO, there you have it! The unboxing of my second Fix. I thought it was amusing that the two items that I wasn’t sure about were the ones I ended up loving and keeping. Which is why I love Stitch Fix! I get to try on pieces that I wouldn’t normally have tried on before.

Cool! What is it about bicycles? I like them too! I saw this shirt at Target today. The photo is bad and you can’t tell but it’s really cute with bright pink bicycles all over. I almost bought it. You may wear it more than the scarf. I can’t imagine wearing a scarf in Florida during the warmer months. Glad this box worked better for you! 🙂

I don’t know, but I love them! There’s a bicycle print light sweatshirt at Target that I like, but it’s in a faded red color (not my favorite). That shirt is cute! I haven’t seen that in the stores. Thanks for confirming my scarf in the summer thought. I know someone in Jax who wears them all the time and I tried once, but hated it. I just can’t stand stuff around my neck when it’s 100 degrees outside. Love scarves in the winter, but not the summer. My box was definitely better this time. Maybe my expectations changed or maybe they did a better job picking out items. Either way, I’m happy. 🙂
While the pencil skirt isn’t the best on you, I actually think it might be fun to receive and try in my fix. Hmmmmm. The pink blouse is like the one I got in my 2nd fix, with those sleeves. It looks fantastic on you! I’ve noticed a ton of people get this and buy it, so I’m leary about getting it in one of my boxes. I do really love that striped top on you though!
I was bummed about the striped top. It looks like it fits okay in the photo, but it was too tight in the arms. 🙁 I’ve seen the pink blouse (different colors) in a lot of fixes too. Actually I was sure you had gotten one and when I went back and looked, I think it’s the same as the polka dot one you kept from your second fix, but just a different print and different neckline. It’s the same brand & price. I was actually jealous b/c I liked the polka dots better. lol. The skirt could be great on someone. I think I had more of an aversion to the color more than the print.
Thanks for the review! Please tell me that you kept the bicycle scarf after all!
Thanks for commenting! Sadly I sent it back. I’m just not a summer scarf girl and I knew I wouldn’t wear it.
Super cute, love the two items you kept, though a bit pricey.
