I totally forgot that my Stitch Fix was coming today, so it was an even nicer surprise when I opened my front door to get the mail and it was sitting there waiting for me!
The excitement quickly faded as I opened by box and was very underwhelmed by my stylist's picks for me this month.
So, let's get this over with.
The FIRST thing I pulled from the box was this cute Bay to Baubles Avalon Daisy Statement Necklace for $28.
Initial Thoughts - Well, my stylist listened about adding color to the accessories she sent me. I do really like it, but I have something pretty similar already.
The SECOND thing I pulled from the box was this Le Lis Nene Striped Midi Dress for $74.
Initial Thoughts - I was happy to finally see a dress in my fix, however I've said it a million times....I need COLOR. This is just too blah. Also, i've never heard of a midi dress. My stylist's note said "The Le Lis dress is going to be a really fun dress for you. This midi length has realy made a comeback, and with your height, you can really pull this off"! Not sure about that, but we'll try it anyway!
The THIRD thing I pulled from the box was this Bash Anza Sweetheart Lace Neckline Blouse for $44.
Initial Thoughts - It's pretty dark and a little plain. It's navy blue with black lace and I feel like there's just not anything special about it.
The FOURTH thing I pulled from the box was this Pixley Luisa Printed Pencil Skirt for $58.
Initial Thoughts - Well, it's colorful enough and kind of interesting, but i'm not sure I have the body type for a pencil skirt. I've never owned one for good reason.
The FIFTH thing I pulled from the box was this Pixley Filagree Ribbon Tank for $48.
Initial Thoughts - It's kind of fun, but i'm really almost over tanktops as we near fall weather.
PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER
The FIRST outfit I tried on was the Le Lis Nene Striped Midi Dress with the Bay to Baubles Avalon Daisy Statement Necklace.
Thoughts - The necklace looks nice. This dress just seems silly to me. Regardless of my height, I don't like the length. At all. And the colors and pattern are boring. It's a jersey type material and I don't think it at all justifies the $74 price tag.
The SECOND outfit I tried on was the Bash Anza Sweetheart Lace Neckline Blouse and my own jean capris.
Thoughts - It fits. It's flattering. It's still boring.
The THIRD outfit I tried on was the Bash Anza Sweetheart Lace Neckline Blouse and Pixley Luisa Printed Pencil Skirt.
Thoughts - Well. It's not as bad as I thought it would be. I thought the skirt would look horrid with my hips and booty, but it's actually slightly flattering. However, I just don't know if it's really up my alley. While my stylist said this was a good combo, I just don't see it. There's zero navy in the skirt and lots of black, so it just doesn't "go" for me.
The FOURTH outfit I tried on was the Pixley Filagree Ribbon Tank and my own jean capris.
Thoughts - You probably can't tell from the picture because I did lots of adjusting before taking this picture, but the top is HUGE. My bra was hanging out on the sides and back and there's no way even a strapless would work because it shifted too much every time I moved. Plus, I feel like the color washes me out.
THE VERDICT
I'll make this pretty short and sweet. I think it's all going back.
While i'm disappointed with this Fix, i'm still really looking forward to next month! This is such a fun way to shop for new clothes! The stylist might not always get it right, but in the end, i'm trying lots of things that I probably would pick on my own. Some are wins. Some aren't. Still tons of fun!
