Stitch Fix #7 ~ Parade of Dresses

Still on the hunt for some much needed dresses! Of course, I've turned to Stitch Fix because I just don't have the time to hit the mall.  Dragging two kids into a fitting room is just not happening. With Stitch Fix I can try on 5 dresses from the comfort of my very own bathroom in 10 minutes flat.

What's in the box this time?

 

Item #1- Pixley Dexter Faux Wrap Dress $68

This one was too big in the chest and for a wrap dress it was tough not to notice the bulge.   The material on this dress was soft which added a mice sense of comfort but just not my style.

Item #2- 41 Hawthorn Fae Dress $68

Super cute dress and perfect for a formal event or evening wedding.  Sadly this bay didn't make it up my hips or down my chest.  No matter how hard I tried it wasn't going on.  No zippers on this dress. It has a leather waist band that does not give way for an easy fit.  I'd say definitely does not run true to size. Bummed to have to send this one back.

Item #3- Gilli Adalea Dress $58

Loved everything about this dress and perfect for a dress up or dress down event. The top is loose and has a wrap look to it.  The skirt is A-line and given the right twirl you can see a hint of sparkle in it.  I really don't need another "black and white" dress, but I kept it just because it fit so well and frankly I can find plenty of opportunities to wear it.

 

Item #4- Market & Spruce Aerin Dress $64

 I did not care for the style of this dress.  Not at all flattering and I dislike tying in the front.  The color was great and different than what's in my closet but just not for me.  

Item #5- Papermoon Waters Knit Maxi Dress $68

 

I usually shy away from long dresses because of my smaller frame.  However, Kelly was spot on with this one.  The length was perfect for this short girl.  I have been searching for the perfect maxi for awhile and although I don't love blue this dress looking really nice on. 

2 out of 5.  I will be trying again next month with a similar request.   Still in search of dresses for 2 more events this summer. 

Stitch Fix #6- Spring Edition

Spring is in the air! I love this time of year.  The weather is perfect to be outside but not unbearably hot.  I don't know about you but I have a ton of upcoming events to prepare for.  From baby showers to weddings, I'm thinking there's no reusing what I have in the closet that many times.  So for this fix, I requested Kelly again (last 5 fixes and she has done a fabulous job), the goal was spring colors and dressy.  I was looking for mix and match pieces and some dresses.

What's in the box?

 

Item #1- Le Lis Maile Scoop Neck Top $44

Didn't love it.  It was loose fitting and nice for Spring but too big in the armpits.  I couldn't wear without a cover up. 

Item #2- Daniel Rainn Surgio Mixed Material Crochet Trim Knit Top $54

  Soft, comfy fit but WAY too big.  It didn't pair well with the skirt at all.  Returned.

Item #3- Lysse Brogan Printed Pencil Skirt $88

This is my first skirt from Stitch Fix.  I was a bit nervous because I don't do skirts.  Dresses.. yes.  Skirts...no. I loved the snug fit of this skirt and it was the perfect length.  Great booty shaper!  Only problem is I don't have anything to pair it with.  For the price, not worth keeping and not very Springish.

Item #4- London Times Rilee Lace Dress  $68

LOVE at first sight.  I'm not loving my fix at this point.  I saved this baby for last and fingers crossed as I tried it on.  It was not only flattering it was moveable and perfect for an outside wedding.  My only keeper of the group.

Item #5- Gilli Kamile Knit Ruched Dress  $54

Very nice dress and a great price!  This is super soft and comfy.  I didn't love they navy.  Too dark for my Spring events.  My main reason for not keeping it was that it clung.  Even with a spanx it didn't do my body justice.  Back it went.

 

1 out of 5, not my favorite fix.  I will be trying again next month with a similar request.   

Stitch Fix #5 Cruise request

Took a few months off of my monthly fix, but I'm back! 
 It's Winter here in New England, but I'm dreaming of blue skies, sand between my toes and a cold drink in my hand! For this fix, I requested Kelly again (last 4 fixes and she has done a fabulous job), the goal was cruise attire.  I was looking for mix and match pieces and a dress.  I think this was the most exciting fix I've had this far!  I was so eager to see what Kelly had picked out for me.

What's in the box?

Item # 1- Market & Spruce Ralphie Romper $64

I wasn't too sure about this because it reminded me of something toddlers wear.  I gave it a try and once it was on I was sold!  Super cute and comfy.  Flowy perfection for a cruise or a nice summer day.  Kelly sent me a large size and there was no way I was going to fill the top of this.  It's a one piece outfit.  However, the top is a wrap style and everything just hung out, even after pulling the strings at the shoulders it was still way too loose.  I emailed customer service for a smaller size, but of course no luck.

In the end I kept it because I loved everything else.  I'm thinking of taking it to a seamstress just to see if it's tuckable, otherwise safety pins it is!

Item # 2- Loveappella Kimichi Colorblock Lace Knit Top $48

 I love this color! The top is light and airy.  The lace detail is only on the front, the back is solid.  I like that it is casual enough for day wear with a pair of shorts; great for island hopping. Pair it with a long skirt and a cardigan for the dinning room.  Keeper!
 

Item # 3- Dear John Finnegan Roll Cuff Chino Short $58

 Ah the coveted Dear John shorts that are all over Pinterest!  My first thought was whoa baby, those are super short!  With some hesitation I slipped them on.  Just a smidge tighter than I'd like but not uncomfortable.  Short they are!  My 4 year old told me I needed to cover my legs.  Not sure if it was the length or the fact that it's winter here in NE and they are super white,lol.  I paired it with both tops from this fix as well as a few from previous fixes and in the end I decided, I'm under 40 on a cruise so why not!  Keeping it.

 

Item # 4- Skies are Blue Ettora Textured Knit Top $48

 

 This is your classic heather gray tank with a touch of black lace. $48 not so much but as a total fix well worth keeping.  It's too long for the Dear John shorts above but is easily paired with a long skirt, leggings or biker shorts.  Very interchangeable for any time of day.  

 

Item # 5- Pixley Millie Textured Dress $68

 

I've had my eye on this dress since the Fall.  It's navy not black as the picture might reflect.  I pinned a bunch of summery dresses and cute evening wear, not what I was hoping Kelly would have sent me for a Caribbean cruise.   It's nice enough for the dinning room so it too will get packed.  

Overall a great fix!  I kept it all and will be packing it all with a few other items I've received.  A big hug to Kelly for another 5/5 fix!
