So, I was surprised when I returned home this morning to find a Stitch Fix box on my doorstep! Two in October makes it an extra fun month! It was a crazy busy morning with work, so I didn't really have time to peek until my lunch break, but I was REALLY happy when I opened it! So, here we go!
The FIRST item I pulled out of the box was this 41Hawthorn Filbert 3/4 Sleeve Popover Blouse for $58.
Initial Thoughts: I love the color. I also love the style of the shirt because I have another one just like it that is blue and white patterned. Not 100% sure I want 2 shirts so similar, but I do obviously really like it!
The SECOND item I pulled out of the box was this 41Hawthorn Benson 3/4 Ruched Sleeve Blazer for $78.
Initial Thoughts: Hmmm....a Blazer. Not sure i've ever owned a blazer, but this seems super cute and an interesting material. No shoulder pads and polyester like I envision blazers.
The THIRD item I pulled out of the box was this pair of Level 99 Giovanni Straight Leg Jeans for $98.
Initial Thoughts: My stylist had asked me how I felt about colored skinny jeans and I told her i'd try some out, but I wanted to keep them a dark color. So, she pretty much nailed it. They are really soft and a pretty deep brown color. I'm starting to get away from my aversion of skinny jeans realizing that you don't have to be stick thin to wear them.
The FOURTH item I pulled out of the box was this Brixton Ivy Cherelle Dress for $68.
Initial Thoughts: Initially, I really thought this was the ugliest print i'd ever seen...but then I started putting it together with pieces from my wardrobe and thought it might end up being really cute. Not sure about the length or the button down front...but we'll try it.
The FIFTH item I pulled out was this Pixley Nilla Button Back Sweater for $68.
Initial Thoughts; I absolutely LOVE the color and the button down back. It just screams FALL to me. Plus, it's suuuuper soft and the stitch pattern is really cute.
PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER
So, I was really curious about the dress and the outfit I pulled together in my head, so I tried it FIRST.
I paired it with my own navy leggings, brown boots, and a brown pendant necklace. I honestly REALLY like this look! The leggings are a must with the length and the button front for me to feel comfortable. It's light and airy and really feels nice. I think this could be dress up or dress down depending on the occasion. The only thing is that the belt loop on the right side is broken...so, i'm not spending $68 on a dress that is broken.
The SECOND outfit I tried on was the Level 99 Giovanni Straight Leg Jeans and Pixley Nilla Button Back Sweater.
I paired these two together because the brown and mustard colors worked really well together. With my brown boots and brown necklace to complete the outfit, I REALLY love this. Really.
The THIRD outfit I tried was the 41Hawthorn Filbert 3/4 Sleeve Popover Blouse and brown jeans.
Again, I love the color combination here. The turquoise top really pops with the brown jeans. I didn't think the turquoise was a very fall-ish color, but I see it now paired with these jeans.
The FOURTH outfit I tried was the 41Hawthorn Benson 3/4 Ruched Sleeve Blazer and the brown jeans.
So, I was kind of clueless as to what went with this blazer since i've never owned one. Doesn't matter a whole lot because I didn't like the fit. It was about 2 inches too short for my tastes.
THE VERDICT
1) 41Hawthorn Filbert 3/4 Sleeve Popover Blouse - still on the fence with this one. I really like it paired with the brown jeans, but again - for $58, do I really want a shirt so similar to one I already own? I'll think on this one.
2) 41Hawthorn Benson 3/4 Ruched Sleeve Blazer - going back. For $78, the fit just isn't right and i'm not sure what to do with it. It did peak my interest, but it just didn't work out.
3) Level 99 Giovanni Straight Leg Jean - keeping. I really like the color of these and how soft the material is.
4) Brixton Ivy Cherelle Dress - I want to keep this if I can have a replacement shipped to me at no charge. Not keeping a $68 dress if it's got a defect, as minor as it is.
5) Pixley Nilla Button Back Sweater - keeping. No question about it. I LOVE it and can't wait to wear it!
