This week I got my very first Fix of 2017!
Stitch Fix is an online personal styling service that I have been using for almost three years now. I can honestly say it has transformed my style - by helping me figure out what my style truly is - and also saved me considerable money on fashion by eliminating the need/desire to spend time shopping at a million different stores, or buying a bunch of cheap pieces that I only sort of like and don't hold up very well.
Let's just say I have donated a LOT of clothing to Goodwill over the past few years...and it wasn't anything I got from Stitch Fix!
This time around I had a brand new stylist, Blake Lindsey, and she did an amazing job!
Here is what I got...
#1 Quincie Keyhole Ribbed Back Knit Top (by Ink Love & Peace)
#2 Kiley Ankle Zip Legging (by Rune)
I think my stylists at Stitch Fix have caught on to the fact that I love heather gray. Probably I could wear plain old heather gray every single day. This tee is more of a tunic which works great with the leggings. I like that it is a hi-low cut, and that the top is more fitted, leaving the rest to hang in a flattering (not boxy) way. The keyhole detail in the back is an added bonus! I know I will wear this versatile top a lot - so it was a definite keep!
The leggings are a keep as well! I usually just buy super cheapo black yoga leggings at Target...but they inevitably get little holes in them after only a few wears. Ugh! I wanted a pair that would hold up better, with thicker material, and some sort of fun detail. I actually was hoping for a pair with some leather detail on them, but the ankle zipper on these is really fun, too!
#3 Carenza Faux Wrap Jersey Dress (by Gilli)
This faux wrap dress (it doesn't really "un-wrap" but simply looks like a wrap) is so lovely! This fit perfectly on absolutely every body part -- arms, bust, butt and the just-below-the-knee length is modest and flattering for us short gals with ample hips and thighs. I wanted to keep this, but the pattern didn't excite me. It sort of reminded me of something nautical, with the navy and white. I just don't do nautical. So - return!
#4 Kramer V-Neck Pullover (by Mak)
Pale blush pink is absolutely one of my favorite colors to wear. Pretty and flattering to pretty much any skin tone. So the color of this piece was perfect, but the style fell flat for me. It was just a simple, soft, v-neck sweater. Very comfortable, but very blah for me. I loved it with my ripped jeans and nude stacked heels...but everything else I tried it on with was just meh. Plus, it was sort of awkward in the fit. So it was a return.
#5 Clarnella Cold Shoulder Top (by JELLA C)
You know I love the cold-shoulder trend -- so I was excited to be sent another! I had requested a dark floral top, and I found this one to be exactly what I was looking for. I think the dark florals are moody yet so feminine. This one has the ruffle and is longer and flowy, making it super romantic. I really wasn't in need of another dressy top at all...but I couldn't resist keeping this one!
So there it is - my first Fix of the year! I couldn't be more please with three pieces I know I will love wearing.
Have you tried Stitch Fix yet? It has saved me so much time and effort by not having to scour boutiques during my limited free time, or battle crowds at the mall, or try on a million things at Target for maybe one that I like.
I have fewer items in my wardrobe now, but more that I truly love wearing! For me that is a win!
