September Stitch Fix

October 8, 2016

September Stitch Fix - Blue Trench, White Blouse, Statement Necklace Welcome to my September Stitch Fix!
This month, I requested from my stylist a grey sweater, a midi dress, colored jeans, a trench coat, and another fun item of my stylist’s choosing. I mostly got what I asked for, but it wasn’t quite what I was expecting. The trench was a darker blue, not quite navy, which I actually appreciated it being in a non-standard shade, and it was still very versatile. When playing around with outfit possibilities it went with nearly everything I paired it with! The only major downside was that it wrinkled like CRAZY. I don’t feel like carrying my steamer around with me, so back it went. I was wanting a more neutral, chunky knit grey cardigan, instead I got a 3/4 sleeve, lightweight printed version. Still super cute and I thought it paired perfectly with white denim. The wildcard item was a lace strappy tank. It was a little too festival-season for us to be going in to fall, so it also went back. Read on to check out the rest of my September Stitch Fix.

You’ll recognize this look from my last post. I love this piece because it’s so soft, has fun fringe detailing at the bottom, and it’s the perfect “throw it on over a tank and jeans and go” item to make an outfit complete. This one was a keeper. Cardigan, kept, $54.

September Stitch Fix - Striped Midi DressThis midi dress just really isn’t my style at all. I’m not drawn to the print or the halter neckline, and the fit was way off. Dress, $68, returned.

September Stitch Fix - White Lace TankDo you see what I mean about the Coachella-worthiness of this top? It’s just not my thing, plus it was a very small large. Tank, $54, returned.

September Stitch Fix - Purple JeansAnother permanent on my wishlist is colored bottoms. These were definitely more purple than burgundy, and I didn’t see these as getting much use this fall and winter. Jeans, $88, returned.

All in all, I ended up keeping just the cardigan. Next time, I’m going to ask my stylist again for another grey cardigan or sweater, something more cozy and chunky knit. I’m also in the mood for a new crossbody bag or maybe a pretty print scarf.

Grey Cardi & Cropped White Denim

October 4, 2016

Grey Cardi & Cropped White Denim - Full Fall LookWelcome another perfect summer-to-fall transitional outfit. This grey cardi & white cropped denim look would have been the perfect thing to wear on a summer day with sandals and minus the sweater. Adding another layer on top and swapping out the sandals for ankle booties makes it ideal for wearing as the temperatures start to drop, also proving another way that you can wear white after Labor Day (check out my other post on the subject here).
I think transitional dressing really revolves around layering. A cropped jacket or knit cardigan are great for throwing on over a dress or tank top. Tights and ankle or knee-high boots can add coverage so you can keep wearing skirts and dresses towards the end of the year. Throwing on a crew-neck knit sweater over a button-down shirt adds warmth and an adorable preppy vibe. It’s also another great chance to accessorize with knit beanies, chunky scarves and textured tights. Sorry, I just love fall dressing so much, sometimes I start to ramble! Anyway, I really adore this outfit for how comfortable it is and how it takes some typically summer items that you might normally think to store away after September, and gives them longevity throughout the year.

Off-Shoulder for Fall with BohoCheri

September 28, 2016

Off-Shoulder for Fall with BohoCheri - Floral Tunic and Cropped Jeans What a beautiful time of the year, and one of my favorites, the first time the temperature drops and there’s a whisper of fall in the air. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I don’t care how much people talk about summer as the greatest season, I don’t buy it! I thrive in the fall and winter (albeit a mild winter, as I live in Southern California), and can’t wait for the sweaty days of summer to be over. I think it also has something to do with the senses of fall. The texture of velvet or a knit scarf or sweater, seasonal flavors like pumpkin spice (duh!) and apple cider, and the heavier, luxurious scents we find ourselves wearing instead of the breezy floral and citrus fragrances of warmer times.
Until the chillier days of fall are officially here, I’m looking for transitional pieces to work in to my wardrobe, like this off-the-shoulder top from BohoCheri. It’s tunic-length so it can be worn with jeans or leggings, has a autumnal-hued floral print, and can be easily layered with a denim jacket for warmth. The looks from NYFW are still rolling in, and off-shoulder styles were so prevalent; this is a trend that isn’t going away any time soon! I love that florals were still on-trend as well, because I could literally wear the feminine print all year round.
Both the beaded necklace and the metallic-accented clutch are handmade by local artisans, and selected by BohoCheri‘s owner. I was lucky to have met the creator and designer of Gaia Bags, Joanna, at one of BohoCheri‘s recent events, and I loved the passion that she emanated when talking about her craft. She sources as much of the materials as she can for her bags from local businesses as well, and comes up with just a few new designs each season to keep the collection small and cohesive. Take a look at these gorgeous clutches she’s created for fall.

August Stitch Fix

September 14, 2016

Welcome to my August Stitch Fix!
This month, I forgot to submit any requests to my stylist, but thankfully, she’s been watching my Pinterest boards, because she definitely found some amazing items that she knew I’d love.. Spolier alert, I ended up buying my entire fix for 25% off! My stylist knows that I don’t wear any hemlines above the knee (or not much above it, anyway), I love fun prints, lace, pieces that can transition from work day to date night, and colored pants. She pretty much hit every note just right, as I’ve been wearing all of these pieces in heavy rotation since they arrived at my door. I’m not sure how I managed to do it, but I lost my invoice so I don’t have prices available for my August Stitch Fix items to share with you.. The total usually ends up being around $200, because I keep my requested price-per-piece under $50. Read on for all of the details on my August Stitch Fix!

August Stitch Fix - Floral Blouse, Olive Pants, Wedge Sandals August Stitch Fix - Floral Blouse Olive Cropped Pants and Sandals for FallTop & Pants / Stitch Fix // Crossbody bag / Cambridge Satchel Co. from the Box of Style // Wedges / JustFab // Sunnies / Amazon
First up, two Stitch Fix items, this sheer floral-printed top with crochet panels, and these slightly sheeny (that’s a word, right?!) olive cropped pants. The pants had been on my wishlist for a while, and are even more versatile than I imagined. I’ve paired them with everything from striped tees to a strappy tank, and I can’t wait to match them up with a chunky sweater, once the weather allows. The shirt I love because it’s light and breezy and the floral print isn’t necessarily season-specific.

August Stitch Fix - Navy Maxi Dress and Crossbody Bag August Stitch Fix Turquoise and Navy Maxi Dress for FallMaxi dress / Stitch Fix // Bag / Shaffer LA from the Box of Style // Sunnies / Amazon
I can always go for another maxi dress, and although this version is a tiny bit snug, I love how long it is (floor-grazing with low wedges), and the mixture of turquoise and navy is so pretty.

August Stitch Fix - Black Fringe Tank and Olive Cropped Pants August Stitch Fix - Strappy Black Tank, Olive Cropped Pants and Leopard Crossbody bagTop & Pants / Stitch Fix // Bag / American Eagle // Sandals / Seychelles // Sunnies / Amazon
Initially, I thought that this tank was a little big on me, but I grew to love its airy, flowyness and the fringe looks so cool when you walk. It does kind of stick to my pants a bit when I’m just standing, but I’m hoping a spray of Static Guard will help.

August Stitch Fix - Colored Lace Tank, White Cropped Pants and Silver Bow Sandals August Stitch Fix - Lace Top, White Jeans, Tassel Necklace  Top / Stitch Fix // Jeans / Old Navy // Sandals / JcPenney // Necklace / LA find // Sunnies / Amazon
This lace top was definitely a size too large for me, so I exchanged it for one smaller. This was my first time exchanging something at Stitch Fix, and the process was quite smooth. At checkout, I just hit the “exchange” button, selected a new size, and I received the smaller top within days. I’ve never seen a top with a lace overlay and a brighter tank peeking out from underneath, and again, loving the turquoise/navy color combo.

August Stitch Fix - Off the Shoulder Olive Top, Cropped Denim, Bucket Bag August Stitch Fix - Cropped Denim, Leather Bucket Bag & Lace Up Wedges for Fall Top / BohoCheri // Jeans / Stitch Fix // Sandals / JustFab // Necklace / Kyle Chan Design // Bag / Shaffer LA from the Box of Style // Bracelets / Forever 21 & LA find // Sunnies / Amazon
I didn’t know if I’d like these cropped, frayed jeans, but they’ve totally grown on me! They’re the perfect length for late summer/early fall and pairing with lace-up sandals.

All in all, a near perfect fix, and all of this without even requesting anything specific! It pays to stick with the same stylist for a while, because they really get to know what works for you. To sign up for Stitch Fix, feel free to use my link here. Each fix is a $20 styling fee up front, which is redeemable towards the purchase of anything you’re sent.
