I had mixed feelings as I pulled the items out of the box and I was surprised a little by what I liked and didn't like. SO, let's get to it.
The FIRST thing I pulled out of the box was this 31 Bits Evergreen Dream Multi-Bead Necklace for $52.
Initial Thoughts - This is the ugliest necklace i've ever seen and there's no way I would spend $52 on it. It's SO not my style. But, at least it has bits of color.
The SECOND thing I pulled out of the box was this Kut from the Kloth Caleb Dress for $68.
Initial Thoughts - I love the idea of a dress, the colors, and the pattern, but I specifically said no tank tops. So, even though it's a dress, it's still a tank top and requires a strapless bra. So, initially, I wanted to hate it because I was annoyed that my stylist overlooked that request.
The THIRD thing I pulled out of the box was this Fun2Fun Rooney Split Neck Top for $44.
Initial Thoughts - Again, I thought this might be the ugliest thing I'd ever seen. The flower pattern just really doesn't go with the other diamond pattern and the colors don't even go together.
The FOURTH thing I pulled out of the box was this 41Hawthorn Moni Geo Print & Camisole Blouse for $58.
Initial thoughts - Ooooh...Love the color, pattern, and cut. Plus, It's the same brand as my favorite stitch fix item to date, so i'm pretty sure i'm going to love it...even for $58.
The FIFTH and final item I pulled out of the box was this Papermoon Lucasta Knit Top for $38.
Initial Thoughts - This is pretty plain and boring. It's so dark navy that it's almost black. The redeeming quality is the bright pink accents....but not sure it's enough for me.
PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER
The FIRST outfit I tried on was the Fun2Fun Rooney Split Neck Top with a pair of my own jeans.
Thoughts - I honestly like it a lot better than I thought I would. The material is nice and thin and super comfortable and it's a nice balance between casual and dressy. Still not sure of the pattern.
The SECOND outfit I tried on was the 41Hawthorn Moni Geo Print & Camisole Blouse with my jeans and the 31 Bits Evergreen Dream Multi-Bead Necklace.
Thoughts - I do love this shirt. Same cut as my other favorite shirt and I love sheer-ish tops with a cami underneath. The necklace isn't as awful as I initially thought it was....but I still don't like it.
The THIRD outfit I tried on was the Papermoon Lucasta Knit Top and my jeans.
Thoughts - The shirt is a little boxy and a bit too short for my tastes. There just isn't enough special about it and not near enough color.
The LAST outfit I tried on was the Kut from the Kloth Caleb Dress.
Thoughts - I WANTED to hate this because I said no tank tops and I really loathe the idea of a strapless bra...but it's so girly and pretty and flowy. It's surprisingly comfortable, too. With the right necklace and shoes, it could be a summer go-to....but, it's September.
THE VERDICT
1) 31 Bits Evergreen Dream Multi-Bead Necklace - Going back. I can't justify $52 on a statement necklace...especially one I don't LOVE.
2) Kut From the Kloth Caleb Dress - I'm torn on this one. Had I gotten it in May or June, I feel like I would have kept it no question. But, it's September and i'm really looking for more Fall style pieces.
3) Fun2Fun Rooney Split Neck Top - On the fence on this one, too. It's OK, but I don't love it. I like the idea of it I think...just not the actual patterns.
4) 41Hawthorn Moni Geo Print & Camisole Blouse - Keeping. I knew from the moment I pulled this one out of the box that I was keeping it. I really love the brand, color, cut, and style.
5) Papermoon Lucasta Knit Top - I think this one is going back. Again, it's just OK. For $38, I can't do OK.
SO - better than last month, but still kinda missed the mark for me. I'll be sending my stylist LOTS of feedback so that hopefully next month is a better fit for me!
