I have been dying to write this blog post all week. But I was swamped! I wrote quite a few posts for my work blogs ( here and here) and I was brain dead. Then my camera battery needed charging, we had something Wednesday night and, well...what can I say...I lived the same life everyone else does every week.
I have been using the service, Stitchfix for a few months now. Stitchfix, if you have not heard it is a personal shopping company that sends you a selection of clothing once a month. You try it on and keep what you like and return the rest, all for $20 a month, which is applied towards your order. I have been very pleased with the service, clothing and blog.
My Stitchfix box this month was in a word, adorable. I liked it all! The box arrived on Valentine's Day and I was so excited. Every time, I am excited. I love the box. I cannot say it enough. The presentation is spot on.
Last month, I went in and tweaked my profile to reflect the sizing I had been getting. Things were just a smidge small in the shoulders, due to me being a linebacker. I also lamented what was not fitting and I updated that I needed more color. (As if the hot pink sweater last month wasn't enough).
And while I did not get more color, the sizing was better.
*I have to preface this by saying that after I opened the box I folded the items and put them back in it until I tried them on two days later. Folded, not wadded up as the wrinkles in these photos would make it seem.
The first thing that I tried on was this adorable mint top with lattice detail. The pintucking reminded me of all the dresses they are wearing on Downton Abbey these days. I liked it a lot, but the fit was not quite right and my new mantra is LOVE not LIKE. (Of course, now that I look at it, I wish I had kept it.)
The second shirt was this very cute tunic. I really am not a fan of cobalt, but for some reason, I like this a lot. My daughters' school colors are royal (which I am not a fan of at all as clothing). This shirt was edgy and would be very cute with the pants I tried it on with or dark jeans and heels for a date. Loved the detail on the shoulders and the bib.
My very favorite thing and the one I kept is this wrap dress. I love stripes, I have always loved stripes and I always will. Love! So comfy and very cute. I wore it to work with red shoes and got lots of compliments.
This was a great fix and had I purchased the entire order would have been $290, since I had one referral and you get 25% off if you buy the entire package. I learned that I need someone else to take my picture. I learned that I should look at the pictures before I return my fix.I learned that I turn my head a weird way when I take pictures.
I really recommend this if you are not a fan of shopping. The $20 fee has been used every time and I have worn everything I bought multiple times, making it definitely worth the cost. The service is really great and as someone who spends a fair amount of time catering to others, it is really nice to have someone cater to me.

The pants I am wearing in all the photos are the same. These cute pants also came in my box and I loved them. A lot. They were exactly the right fit and had enough detail to not be "leggings". However, over the winte I bought two very similar pairs and could not justify the third pair.
This cardigan, which was very soft and super comfy was also part of the "fix". I would have worn it for lounge and that is about it. Loved that it was waffle knit and super cozy, but I felt it looked a little shabby. Also it was $88. My goal for Stitchfix is clothes for work and dates. So that went back.
