I am going to D.C. at the end of the month for vacation, so I asked for casual pieces that would work well.
Here is what I received:
Collective Concepts Salas Split Neck Blouse
Alice Blue Simona Henley Blouse
Loveappella Evie Draw String Funnel Neck Sweatshirt
Skies are Blue Nikolai Split Neck Top
Kut From the Kloth Jaylon Denim Short
Collective Concepts Salas Split Neck Blouse
I really like the style of this shirt...unfortunately, it was just a tad on the big side. The arm holes were too big for my taste. I was worried that if I sized down, that it would be too tight at the bottom as it is more fitted there.
Verdict: Returned
Alice Blue Simona Henley Blouse
Solenice's note: "I know you said nothing fancy, but just in case you need something a little dressier for dinner out with your family I found you the Alice Blue blouse! I love floral pieces for spring and summer."
Boy, am I glad she included it in the fix. I think it is nice and feminine, which I am currently lacking in my wardrobe. I like how versatile it can be...you can dress it up or down depending on the occasion. Plus, I think it looks really good on me!
Verdict:Keeper
I paired it with a pair of my colored Emers for a work outfit. What do you think?
Loveeappella Evie Draw String Funnel Neck Sweatshirt
Solenice's note: "You pinned it a LONG time ago, but I included the Loveappella sweatshirt in case you need a casual layering pieces during the day." My first reaction was that Solenice must have lost her ever loving mind...it might work for DC, but summer in Memphis is HOT & HUMID. Then I tried it on, and fell in love!!!
Verdict: Keeper
Skies are Blue Nikolai Split Neck Top
My thoughts on this top: Love, Love, Love...that is all.
Verdict: Keeper
Kut From the Kloth Jaylon Denim Short
Solenice found these shorts that I had pinned last month. I pinned them because I love teal and I love Kut From the Kloth. However, I have this weird thing about my thighs...I hate my thighs. And these shorts sit at just the wrong point of my thighs for me to feel comfortable in them.
I was worried that if I sized up, they would be too big on my waist. :(
Verdict: Returned
So, for Fix #11 I was 3 for 5. I love all 3 items that I'm keeping. Once again, I am impressed with Solenice b/c she really pays attention to my note, my pinterest board, and my past fixes. Thanks for the wonderful job you do!
Ok, now for the long awaited Fix #10. For my 10th fix, I asked for pieces to add to my spring wardrobe. I also asked for a dress to coordinate with my daughter's for a wedding we were attending.
Shoes! Stitch Fix now carries shoes!!
Nine West Onlee Pointed Toe Flats
These shoes are super cute! I like the textured pattern and that they could go with lots of items in my closet. However, I wasn't totally sold on them....I'm not much of a dressy flat girl. Spoiler: once I decided to keep everything else from the box, I decided to keep these too for the 25% discount. I wore them the other day as Solenice suggested: with my new Market & Spruce coral top and KFTK boyfriend jeans. The outfit looked super cute, but after about 2 hours my left foot was not happy with these new shoes. I ended up with 2 huge blisters...in hindsight, these shoes might be a tad too big. I will probably not be wearing them again.
Verdict: Kept, but Shouldn't Have
London Times Braedyn Lace Dress
As I mentioned above, I requested a dress that would coordinate with my daughter's dress for an upcoming wedding. I included links to both of my daughter's possible dresses for Solenice to see. I think she did a terrific job picking this dress.
This dress fit and looked great on me. I wore it to the wedding....my daughter chose the heart dress. I received several compliments on the dress. It is such a comfortable dress too, which was great since I was in it all night long!
Verdict: Keeper
Market & Spruce Juli Lasercut Detail Blouse
I had pinned this blouse, because I really liked the color combination and style. At first, after trying this on, I was on the fence about it. Then I paired it with white jeans/shorts and my new pink shoes...it's a keeper!
Verdict: Keeper
Market & Spruce Diller Crochet Sleeve Knit Top
This shirt!!!!! I've already worn this exact outfit, and loved the way I looked and felt in it (other than the shoes). Heaven!
Verdict: Keeper
Papermoon Bastille Tulip Sleeve Blouse
Isn't the color of this blouse to die for?!?! For this picture, I styled it with my KFTK jeans. However, I love wearing it to work tucked in to a pair of slacks. I've received so many compliments on it already. Everyone especially loves the sleeves:
