Hello, loves!
I hope everyone is doing well and settling in to this warmer weather that crept up. I would have been doing a lot better had I not locked my keys in my trunk during the hottest part of the day earlier this afternoon! Luckily, Mark (and AAA) were just one call away to rescue me.
I wanted to share with you all today my April Stitch Fix experience. This time, I actually remembered to leave feedback for my stylist. I asked for a summery print maxi dress, something with lace, colored jeans, and a chambray-like button-down. I think my stylist did pretty well with the styles, however, I had asked for the prices to be more moderate with each piece. I was sent a pair of $98 peach jeans. They were cute (albeit a bit too snug and long), but $100 for trendy jeans that I likely wouldn’t wear past August seems like not the best investment. I want something I’m either going to wear to death throughout a season or an old faithful piece that I can pull out at any time and know it’s going to look great.

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.

Lastly, and you may have seen this look already in a recent Gwynnie Bee post, but it was probably my favorite outfit that I put together from this fix. The skirt from Gywnnie Bee I knew that I was going to purchase as soon as I unwrapped it, but figured I would pair it with a white blouse and colorful heels. When I saw this pink blouse in my fix, the colors were just so harmonious, that I flipped that idea around and paired the colorful top with neutral heels. I may have considered purchasing the top, as I believe it was just around $45, but it actually had a stain on it, front and center. I know that part of the hazard of sending things out to people to try on is that you may get them back in not-pristine condition, but I just wish that the people who packaged my fix up would have inspected the items a bit more thoroughly.

The last item I unfortunately do not have a picture of. It was completely unwearable, as the “Large” was genuinely like a Small/Medium and I could barely get it over my head! It was a top with white crinkly fabric and several patchwork-like strips of material running down the front. So not my size or my style.

Overall, I just kept the chambray shirt from this round, and I’m quite happy with my purchase! For my next fix, I’ve requested another shot at a maxi dress, a colorful crossbody bag and something in the on-trend blush shade. I can’t wait to see what my stylist chooses for me next! I really do look forward to coming home to that box at my front door 😉
