Stitch Fix #6 - July 2015

I hope everyone enjoyed a wonderful holiday weekend!  What better way to liven up the Monday after a holiday than with a "fix" waiting for you at your doorstep!  I wish I could pretend that it just showed up there all cute and cuddly and I had TOTALLY forgotten it was coming....um yeah...that's not me.  I look forward to these little boxes so much that I could never forget about them!  My stylist Adilah really listened to me last month and I had a good feeling going into this box that there were going to be several new 'pretties' in my closet.

In case you have not heard of Stitch Fix, it's a personal styling program that's takes your input to create a style profile for $20 each time you want a "fix".  I currently have mine set up for monthly.  If you keep one or more items the $20 fee is subtracted from the balance due. As a bonus, if you buy all five items they send you, they give you a 25% discount which can be pretty great if you love everything they send!!  How do they know what they pick for you will fit?  It's magic, I am sure of it.  So far the two pair of jeans I have purchased from Stitch Fix fit me better than ANY pair I have tried on in a store and purchased for myself. 

Ok.  Here are the details of my fifth box from Stitch Fix that my stylist (or fairy god-stylist) chose for me:

1) RENEE C Edmondo Stud Detailed Split-Back Blouse ($38)
2) PIXLEY Ashton Crochet Lace Kimono ($48)
3) DANIEL RAINN Sicily Pintuck Detail Silk Blouse ($78)
4) 41HAWTHORN Lanza Scallop Trim Blazer ($84)
5) RENEE C Melisa Skirt ($48)


So, here is how I decided which items to keep:

RENEE C Edmondo Stud Detailed Split-Back Blouse ($38)
This top was a very pretty color and I love some split-back style blouses so I was glad she included it for me to try, however, I just didn't love the way this one fell on me. It has a little studded neckline which I wasn't sure about once I tried it on.  I think I will try to pin a different one and give it a shot again.







  Verdict: GOING BACK

PIXLEY Ashton Crochet Lace Kimono ($48)
This kimono is so pretty and feminine and just fits me perfectly.  The detail on the back is so so pretty!   I know how easy this will be to throw on with a tank and distressed jeans this summer to have a casual boho feel and I LOVE it!



  Verdict: GET IN MY CLOSET!

DANIEL RAINN Sicily Pintuck Detail Silk Blouse ($78)
This blouse is absolutely gorgeous.  Gorgeous detail, gorgeous color (I have been dying for something COBALT!!!)  I just am not sure that its the correct size on me.  What I might do is ask my stylist to send me an XS instead of a small because it felt a bit loose around the chest area.  





  Verdict: UNDECIDED



41HAWTHORN Lanza Scallop Trim Blazer ($84) paired with
RENEE  C Melisa Skirt ($48)
This blazer fit perfectly.  The scallop trim added so much character and shape to the blazer that I almost considered keeping it, but it is a long sleeved lined blazer and I am just trying to replenish my closet with summer pieces at this point, so I opted to send it back (maybe it if had been a different color I would have reconsidered).

I had pinned the Melisa skirt to my Pinterest board and this goes to show that my stylist actually looks at that (thank you!!!)  Unfortunately, it fit a bit snug for my taste because the pattern is dynamite!  







  Verdict skirt: GOING BACK
  Verdict blazer: GOING BACK



JULY 2015 FIX = 1 new 'pretty' in my closet.
