What I Wore Wednesday ~ StitchFix Review May

I know StitchFix is suppose to be a small part about the surprise, but I have never been good at surprises. So every time I get the email telling my Fix is on the way, I immediate go to the checkout screen and start Googling the items in the cart.

This time I had asked for some tank tops and a fun dress. When I image searched the items listed I was so disappointed, none of it looked fun or what I asked for. The only thing that I saw was the tank above which I had pinned so was happy about that.

 

Then my box arrived and WOW, I was pleasantly surprised by the whole thing!

None of the items looked like what I had Googled except for that first tank. This one showed as a long sleeve peach number, I was so happy to see this instead. I had asked for this one. The linen tank will be perfect for summer.

 

The dress showed on Google as black and white dress, which would be fine but I own a lot of black and white. I was really happy to open this cream, black and pale pink number. The dress is super comfortable and the pale pink is really pretty.

 

They also sent this necklace that I really liked, which again looked nothing like the pictures I found.

So what did I keep?

Well, I also received a pair of pale pink khaki pants that I were not pretty so those were sent back. Since I knew I was returning one item and there for would not get the discount for buying all the items, I also returned the necklace. I may still regret that but I do have similar ones already.  The rest I kept, it was the most I have ever kept from a Fix.

This box is the reason I keep getting them, I love being pleasantly surprised by what they send.

What We Wore Wednesday ~ Easter Outfits

This past Easter I was a walking StitchFix add. I do love the way the new necklace matches the shirt I received in the box before. The white capris are from Old Navy. I also love Mouse's dress from Zulily. We definitely had a blue theme going this Easter. Yes, I still have us in coordinating outfits. I am sure that is ending fast with how quick she is growing up.

My Grandma even coordinated with us, though this was unplanned. I am so excited for this year, my Grandma is moving closer to us and I can't wait to spend more time with her.

What did you wear this Easter?

What I Wore Wednesday ~ Stitchfix Review

 

There are times that I am glad my stylist with StitchFix doesn't listen to me and this was one of those times. I sent her a message stating that I didn't want any more lace or see through items, I had one to two in every box. I also wrote that I wanted the dress below. 

 

I asked for it in a berry color but they didn't have that in stock so they sent it to me in blue, which for the most part would be fine since I love blue. But I really was not impressed with the dress on. And I really did want to love it, StitchFix has a way of finding very soft fabric. 

 

I also asked for a fun spring necklace, specifying something like this one. The teal center is much brighter in person.  I kept the necklace, I really liked the simplicity of it.

I also asked for a floral shirt. 

 

Again, this was a time they sent exactly what I asked for and yet I hated it. This shirt was a pit grandma in print and cut.  Maybe I should quit asking and just let her pick, because this black lace top was amazing. 

 

The lace had some stretch to it that made it fit great. Also the chiffon edging to the neck and sleeves made it so the lace wouldn't get itchy. In the pictures you can't see the princess (I think that is what they are called) in the shirt that makes it a nice fitted top. I am sure this will become a staple item for me.

What I Wore Wednesday - Stitchfix Review

Last week was crazy and stressful, so I was so excited when I got home one night and saw StitchFix waiting at my front door. OK, it really was waiting on my kitchen table, Steve had brought it inside for me.

This one I asked for some clothes that I could wear around Easter. Specifically I asked for a navy or blue maxi. 

Sorry, I got no pictures of me trying the clothes on. This was the maxi skirt they sent. It was so soft and I loved the pattern. But I had to send it back, it was just way to long.

Next they sent this navy and red dress. I love navy and red so that was a hit. I also loved the vintage vibe this dress had. I really wish it would have fit.

I also asked for jeans this last time. But I learned my lesson with these. They were exactly what I asked for but they were WAY to expensive for my style. I just don't spend that much on jeans. I didn't even try these on. I didn't want to love them and still have to send them back.

So what did I keep?

I kept this navy, teal and white striped shirt. I love the colors, of course. And it will work great for Easter, since Mouse's dress is the same colors. I did wear this to work with gray boots covering those nice gray socks.

What I Wore Wednesday ~ StitchFix Review

I started out with Stitchfix years ago and had a lot of fun for the first several months. But then I thought it was becoming tiresome. I was not receiving items I asked for and did not feel like my preferences were being heard. Fast forward, 6 months later, I am bored with my clothes and have no time to shop. So, I sent Stitchfix a message, I wanted to give them another try but I expected more out of them. More like I was hearing from the other bloggers who love them.

Now three fixes into it, I can honestly say I am so glad I went back!

For this one I had sent my stylist Casey (love her) a note saying I was looking for a date night outfit. I also gave her links to two styles that I was looking for. Here they are one and two. I also always say to send me dresses.

Here is what she sent me. The above shirt, which is very similar to the top in outfit one. I really liked it and Steve really liked this one too. I decided to keep it.

I was also sent this jacket, which was also in the picture I sent her. I have never tried on this style before and was sad when it looked better on the hanger. It was exactly what I wanted so  me not keeping it is no fault of Stitchfix.

I also received this sweater, which was really soft and fit great but I am not a fold over collar fan.

The dress I was sent was this one, which I liked on the hanger but the front pleats didn't do my figure any favors. I was disappointed in this one two because on paper/hanger it was the perfect dress for me.

Then I was sent this shirt, it was perfect for the outfit two I  had sent. I love it!! This sweater is so thin and soft, I could wear it everyday. In fact I have already worn it twice since receiving it.

I am so excited for the next box, I asked for a navy maxi shirt this time, we'll see what she finds. This time around when I have asked for something and she can't find it in my price point, size or color; Casey is good to mention it and why she thought another item she sent is a good substitute.

If you are on the fence on Stitchfix or have quit, I would recommend giving them another shot. I can say for my self they have improved.

What I Wore Wednesday ~ Stitch Fix

I have to say I am really glad I gave Stitch Fix another go and that I got Casey as a stylist. She is perfect. Have I liked everything she's sent, no but she definitely understand my likes. This time I asked specifically for a great pair of black leggings.

She sent this white and black lace top. It was really comfortable but a bit to boxy for me. 

Next up is this dress which both Steve and I loved in the box but once on I just couldn't pull the trigger on it. The arm holes were a bit big and a bit to long for my tastes. But color choice is spot on, I might have a love for navy and red.

I loved this top! The fit was great and the color (again navy) was good. But it's soo cold here, like -8 degrees, so I couldn't get this top. Now if she re-sends it come spring or summer, I may have to buy it. The sleeves were just to puffy to wear with a sweater over it.

The sweater was really really soft but it was a bit short. And white sweaters, white anything, doesn't really work for me. I am way to klutzy.

Then she hit the jack pot! She sent these great pointe pants. I can not say enough about how much I love them!! They are a nice thick and the perfect ankle length. I kept these would probably buy another pair, they are that comfortable.

StitchFix #6 ~ What I Wore Wednesday

I did the StitchFix thing a while back and got a little frustrated with the lack of selection I was getting and the customer service. But last month I was not finding anything I liked at the stores, so I thought I would give them another try. I wrote an email to the team talking about some of the issues I had with my previous fixes, I rewrote my profile and gave a detailed account of what I was looking for this time. I am so glad I did!

I really felt that my stylist listened to what I was saying this time and took a good look at my Pinterest board to see what I like. Everything she sent me this time I liked and a few pieces I loved!

I had told them if they could find a blue, green or red trench coat to replace my worn out one I would love them. And they did! Though this one is a bit too dark of a navy than what I was looking for and the wrong material. I was still happy that they listened and found it. I did return it because I hate vinyl, it's loud. They didn't know my issues with vinyl so I consider this one a win for them even though I returned it.

Next up was this satin and knit mix tank top. I really liked this one. The arm holes were a bit big but with a tank under it would have been fine. I came really close to keeping this top too but thought the price tag was a bit steep for a tank top.

Next up was this satin short sleeve paisley top. This fit really well but I am just not a huge satin top fan that I couldn't pull the trigger. Though it fit so good (not that it looks great in the though) that I also came close to keeping it. And probably would have if I hadn't fallen in love with the last item.

I loved the stripe dress! This is where I really felt like the stylist looked through my profile. I have 3 or more of these pinned on Pinterest. I love stripes and nautical clothes. The cute dip in the back makes me love it even more.

I loved the neutral style of this dress where I can dress it up or down. It is also really soft, kind of like wearing jammies to work especial paired with fleece lined tights.

They really impressed me this time, so I decided to give them another shot this month, I will let you know how it turns out.

I have spent all summer and fall searching for the perfect pair of gray booties and I have to announce:

I FOUND THEM!! 

I am so pleased with these little boots. Thank DSW for having the perfect pair at a great price. 

Even with my pasty legs they still look great.

 

My first time wearing them I paired them with my new Old Navy T-shirt and A.n.a Jeans. Unfortunately the blue wash of the jeans rubbed off on the boots a bit but no to bad. I still love them. 

 

Mouse on the other hand has plenty of cute boots but she has a thing against wearing shoes indoors, she absolutely refuses to do it even for pictures. So imagine this outfit with cute knee high black boots.

What We Wore Wednesday

It's my birthday! Yep, it is! So, I get to make it my day. Which means I am pretending it is not 10 below outside. I am pretending I am not at work. 

On my day, I would be waking up late, drink some coffee and then do some online shopping.  After that I would go out to lunch then walk around some shops. To finish the day dinner with family. 

But since, I can't do any of that till Saturday, I will just do the normal What I Wore Post. 

I am loving how soft these over the knee socks are from Target. 

Also soft is Mouse's new sweater dress. 

I think she just likes it because she gets to wear her hot pink tights. 

My other soft cold weather item is my red sweater. I am kind of excited by the long tank under it.

I was so excited when I found this owl skirt! Seriously it's the cutest pattern ever. Thank you Bass outlet for a cheap price and a fun, quirky pattern and that it matches my mustard sweater!

Again I can say thank you to the blogging world to get me outside of my comfort zone to buy this skirt.  

Mouse loves her grey skirt and tights look. Though I am not sure if I like how old she looks in this combo.

I think I am seriously in love with these camel colored dress pants. My Mom actually bought them for me for a job interview, along with the navy blazer shown below. Job interview you say, yep that is right! This is what I wore to a job interview last month.

And I got the job! I am leaving the world of Academia after just a year and headed back into the world of helping people. I am so excited to be working for a program I can really get behind again. It has been years since I was this happy about my job.

So what will I be doing? I am going back to the world of compliance but this time I will be working with an eating disorder clinic/program. I will be working on internal compliance and accreditations. Then down the road I will start working on business improvement plans. I can't wait to be apart of making the clients lives better. 

And since most of you come on Wednesdays to see outfits here is another way I styled the camel pants.  

But right now I have a week off between jobs, so I am having fun with Mouse and Steve.

Mouse as always is staying cute in her outfit.

I love her striped dress from ThredUp with the denim shirt over it. I may just copy this look from her if I ever find a dress like that. She did finish the outfit out with black boots.

I am keeping it real in these pictures games, food, balloons and paintings on the floor in the background. Just a day in the life right?!?

I think these outfits are the last warm weather outfits I should have, since it's suddenly become winter here in Minnesota. No more bare legs, we barely had a fall this year, I missed a lot of socks and boots days.

I feel like I am falling back into my habit of matchy-match in my clothes. I want to add pops of color or patterns but I tend to stick to basics.

This shirt is from Thredup.com and I love the pleats down the front. Please ignore the water mark on the front, I guess I can't wash my hands with out getting water all over me.

I love this dress/top of Mouse's and sad that I think this will be her last year with it. She is growing to fast.

I love my boxes of clothes that come to my house. The sheer time that goes into shopping is so much easier now that I don't have to do it. But Mouse was feeling a bit left out with no new clothes for her. Then I heard about FabKids.

With Fabkids you pick out a three piece outfit for for you child and then they send it to your house. Each outfit is $39.95 total for all the peices, but last month they ran a special for $9 for all three pieces! I couldn't pass it up. Mouse was so excited to receive her own box of clothes.

This shirt is so her, she absolutely loves it. Now, I am not sure how often I would do this box. The clothes are pretty thin in quality for $40 but when they run a special I will still check them out.

Here is what I wore on Halloween to work at my daughter's school. And to keep it really here is her messy room and dirty mirror.
