Stitch Fix Review #3

2014-01-18_0003

Yay!  Stitch Fix time!  I was super excited to get my 3rd fix this past week.  I scheduled it a week before my birthday so it would be like an early birthday gift to myself if I decided to keep one (or two or three) pieces from it.

Unfortunately, that extra funds allocation won’t be necessary this time.  :'(  They aren’t bad pieces per se, just nothing that excites me or that I need/want.  Possibly partly my fault.  I haven’t been very vocal beforehand about what I want/don’t want.  Partially because I don’t want to miss out on a great piece because I said I don’t want *insert random clothing piece* in my box and partially because I don’t want to be a PITA.   Live and learn I suppose!

41Hawthorn Bindy Fit and Flare Ponte Dress, $78

Thoughts:  Not loving the thicker material and long sleeves seeing as it’s 80 degrees outside right now.  It fits nicely though.  Better than I expected actually and the color is beautiful.  But, I don’t wear a ton of dresses and it’s pretty hot and humid here 8 months out of the year, I would be sweating like crazy in this!

Ultimately:  Sent back.  I’m looking forward to summer and wearing flowy, lightweight dresses/skirts.

41Hawthorn Toshi Contrast Detail Longsleeve Blazer, $88

Thoughts:  I wasn’t too excited about this one since I already have a black blazer in my closet and the fact that I don’t wear blazers that often in the summer.  Surprisingly it fit pretty nicely and the polka dots on the lining are adorable!

Ultimately:  Sent back.  I might have been tempted to replace my current blazer with this one, but the inside lining seemed to stick to my clothing a little and get discombobulated so I had to pass.

Kensie Jeans Sophia Distressed Skinny Jean, $88

Thoughts:  I would have died for these not too long ago, but I just bought a pair of deconstructed denim a few months back.  I tried them on anyways and while they weren’t bad, the fit was a little tight and they were too long.

Ultimately:  Sent back.  I like the Old Navy rockstars I just bought better.

Kut From The Kloth Marquis Slub Knit Dolman Sweater, $48

DSC_1537-Edit

Thoughts:  It’s not amazing, but I like that it’s lightweight and loose fitting.  I could see myself wearing it over my bathing suit maybe with a pair of shorts.  But it’s still a sweater..in Florida..in April.

Ultimately:  Kept.  The top 3 items were definite no’s and seeing that I didn’t want to forfeit my $20 box fee, it was between the sweater or the necklace below for the piece I kept.

Bay to Baubles Toby Gem Stone Statement Necklace, $36

DSC_1541-Edit

Thoughts:  The gold is kinda brassy, but the colors are pretty and it’s different from anything I have in my jewelry box.

Ultimately:  Sent back.  I don’t see myself wearing it.  Plus, I let my husband choose which one I should keep between the necklace and the sweater above…he chose the sweater.  😉

So, there you have it.  Now you understand what I meant when I said they weren’t bad pieces, just not for me.   I’m not hatin’.  I still love Stitch Fix.  I just think I need to tweak my profile for next time.  I’ll probably request no more jeans and maybe no more workwear/business pieces.
