Hi loves!
Oye, I’m getting really (and embarrassingly) behind on these! I’ll try my best to catch up, as I’ve already shot the looks for June! Le sigh. Anyway, on to the goodies! For my May Stitch Fix, I requested from my stylist a colorful crossbody bag, a bright pair of cropped bottoms (jeans or capris, etc.), a sheer blouse for work and a comfy pair of flats. I would say that she delivered on half of those requests.
You may have already seen the slouchy crossbody bag (from Octavia & Co.) in my hippie chic maxi dress post here…
I really love how vibrant this bag is. It looks great when paired with neutral tones, like I did here, but also could stand up to other brights or against a busy print. It has tons of interior space, as well as a flap that folds over and opens up to even more storage. At first, I was worried that it might be one of those bags that anything that you put inside, you can see it from the outside (such as a cell phone, notepad, etc.), but the shape stays pretty much the same unless you overload it. The strap is also long enough to wear as a shoulder bag or crossbody. Basically, I love this bag haha!
Crossbody bag – $48, purchased.
Next up was this satiny sleeveless split neck top. I LOVED the print and fabric and it was slightly shorter in the front than in the back, which would have been pretty flattering had it fit. It was perfect in the bust, but way too snug around the hips. It was returned due to fit issues. Top, $58, not purchased.
When I first pulled this blouse out of the box, I was a little iffy on the print. Then I realized how versatile it is! You could build an outfit around it, mixing it with pastels or neons, jeans, so many options! It was, again, too tight around my hips so it had to go back. Blouse, $48, not purchased.
These Dolce Vita slides really aren’t my style but I thought I would try them on to see if I could make them work.. The answer to that would be no, haha! They made a hideous squeaky noise and literally flopped off my feet when I tried to walk in them. At the shocking price of $70, they went right back.
Lastly, I received these suuuuuper vibrant cropped pants from Kut from the Kloth. They were reasonably priced at $58, which I think is fair for well-made pants. I can’t say they’re the most versatile bottoms I’ve ever owned, but they can pair with black, white, other jewel tones and fun prints, which is perfect for summer. Cropped pants, $58, purchased.
Overall, I adored the styles of almost everything I was sent, but the sizing was a bit off. It’s not totally my stylist’s fault, as I’ve put on a few pounds unexpectedly over the past few weeks. I’d like to think it’s because I’ve been working out more often and that I’m gaining muscle, that is the happy thought haha!
I’d love to know about any experiences you’ve had with Stitch Fix!
😀
So, initially, I thought this dress would be tricky to wear due to all of the horizontal stripes, but it actually hugged me in all of the right places and was figure-flattering. I didn’t feel the print was versatile enough, in terms of being able to dress it up or down, so at $78, it was a pass.
Next up, this chambray-like top, as requested from my stylist. I loved the idea of keeping it super casual with a little tank and leggings. This one was pretty great, with it’s subtle pinstripe fabric, that also happens to be super soft. At $64, it was a touch on the pricey side, but I knew I would wear it often enough to make it work.
Here are the aforementioned peach jeans. Cute, but limited in terms of wearability. They were also about 3 inches too long, so I cuffed them up and added my favorite nude open-toed heels. I really liked the idea of pairing it with aqua tones, kind of a play on a coral & turquoise color story. Regardless, their longevity in my wardrobe was non-existent, and therefore, they were returned.
Ok, so now that I’ve completely overloaded you with drool-enducing pictures of pretty things, I’ll tell you what all I purchased! The pink chair was such a fantastic deal at $50 that I grabbed it and it’s partner, along with the matching pink & gold dot pillows! They are currently residing in my living room, as we were in desperate need of more seating in that space. I also grabbed a bunch of lavender, that cute little sign that says “good morning, beautiful,” which is something that Mark tells me every morning, and the silver & gold branch tray. As soon as Holli & I walked in to the barn, we both remarked on how wonderful it smelled, so I did some investigating and found out that it was one of the Tyler candles in the scent Pineapple Crush. I grabbed the large size, because I had a feeling it was the perfect Spring scent to make our home smell pretty, and I was right because it is burning right now on the kitchen table and smells delicious! I also purchased a charcuterie-themed picture for the kitchen, a pink & gold tea set, and a Paris-themed soap dispenser. I reallllly wanted to grab the gold entry table (seen in the picture above with all of the tea sets), but we already have one that works perfectly fine so I couldn’t justify it. I guess I can’t have gold everything haha!
So both the top and pants are 
I did mostly enjoy this dress, except for that extra drapey bit under the bust. No one wants droopiness near their bust area! Maybe if I had more to fill it out haha.. I was initially bothered by the print, especially around the hips and booty, but it actually worked! The cut was flattering and I think it would be nice in warmer weather when I don’t want to show my arms. It went back though, because it was $78. Way too much for a dress of this quality.
This top was pretty cute but a bit snug. It had a little cutout on the back and a grosgrain ribbon at the neck that bugged the hell out of me. It was also almost $50 for what boiled down to a t-shirt. Back it went.
The item that I actually ended up keeping, to save my styling credit from being wasted was this multi-layered necklace. It is something I can see myself wearing a decent amount and wasn’t overpriced at $28. It does get a bit tangled, but I think that’s kind of the nature of all layered necklaces like these.
