I got my second stitch fix, and wanted to share it here. If you haven't heard of this yet, it's a personal styling service. You fill out a style profile, pay $20, and then you get sent five items a stylist thinks you will like. Anything you don't like you put into a pre-paid envelope that gets sent back to them. If you decide to keep something, the $20 goes towards your purchase. If you keep all 5 items, you get 25% off. Super fun and easy.
First item I got, was the Farrah Crochet Trim Blouse from 19 Cooper ($64). I like flower patterns, and the delicate lace trim. I don't really wear sleeveless blouses, though. Plus, the white was see-through. To make matters worse, the top portion was a little small, and seemed to flattened my chest. Not a successful item for me, so back into the envelope it went.
Next up was the Lex Textured Floral Knit Fit & Flare Dress by Brixon Ivy ($74). Now, I was already super excited about this dress before it even got to me. I peeked at what I was getting beforehand. After searching Pinterest, I found some fellow stitchers who already got sent this dress, allowing me to see it! My love only grew as I felt how soft the material was. I tried to hold back my love as I tried it on, thinking surely it would be too short, or not fit. But it fit perfectly! The skirt has plenty of twirl room, and looks great on, thanks to the heavier material that makes all my curvy bits look smooth. A definite keep.
The third item I tried on was this Melodie Smocked Detail Polka Dot Print Blouse ($68). I hadn't been able to find a picture of this, so my first impression was seeing it in the box. I liked the subtle polka dot pattern, but was jaded from the other polyester blouse. I thought this might be tight in the same area. It fit perfectly though! I wore it around my room, tucking it into a pencil skirt while stumbling into different heels. Then I realized I could also wear it to work with a pair of jeans on days he has movement class. The teacher always has us rolling on the floor at some point- not a class you want to wear a skirt in! I debated if it was really worth the price, but in the end, I had already styled too many outfits with it to return it.
Next up is the Kathy Striped Fit & Flare Dress by Pixley ($68). I had seen this dress before getting it. I liked that it had sleeves, but scoffed at every blogger that said it was flattering and super comfortable. I wasn't thrilled to get this- I was firmly in the camp of, there was no way a horizontal stripe dress would look good on me. I pulled it on, and had to admit it was really comfortable. I stood in front of the mirror, and was really surprised. This dress does work some kind of magic. It was super flattering. Did I need another dress though? Yes, especially one that I could wear to work.
The last item I tried on was the Shiloh Tonal Dot Print Sleeveless Blouse by Skies are Blue ($58). Purple is totally my color, and the scalloped bottom and polka dots certainly helped. It would have to be pretty fabulous for me to keep a sleeveless blouse though. Unfortunately, this one had the same fit problem as the white one. To add, it also seemed to short to wear comfortably. It went into the envelope with it's similar friend.
All in all, a pretty good fix! I love the dresses, and can see myself wearing the polka dot blouse a lot too! I have my fixes scheduled to come every other month, and I already can't wait!
