Stitch Fix 11

The doorbell rang.  The dog started to bark.  My kids were both having an afternoon snack at the kitchen table.   I peeked out the window and onto my front step.  Tucked in between the flower pot and doorframe was a cardboard package with a teal emblem.   Stitch Fix time!

I’ve mentioned in my previous posts how I no longer go clothes shopping.  Stitch Fix now knows exactly what I like since I have used the service for just about a year now.  My clothing choices are shipped to me.  I get to try them on in my own home, mixing and matching pieces with clothing that I already own. Then, I send back anything that I don’t like.

This time, I was searching for a new top (or two) to add to my wardrobe.  Something bright and colorful to add a little vibrance. Here’s what I got:

41Hawthorn Teresa Colorblocked Sleeveless Blouse

I love this blue!  And the orange as well!  The top was very flattering.  The fabric was a little heavier than I expected, but that was a benefit.  Overall, I decided not to keep this one.  I have a lot of sleeveless blouses and I find I’m not choosing to wear them often.  So, I sent it back.

Lovapella Dellen Chiffon Striped Thermal

I loved the contrast between the two fabrics in this shirt – a thermal on the top and a black chiffon trim on the bottom.  I didn’t like the fit of this though.  The picture above is after I pulled it down over my chest.  Every time I bent over, the fabric would ride up on me and everything would accumulate under my armpits.  I sent this back.

19 Cooper Blanchette Tie-Neck Peasant Blouse

Ohh.. the color.  This emerald just made me feel so fancy and pretty.  At first, I thought I would hate this peasant top.  But once I put it on, it won me over.  It’s so bright and spectacular!  I have no color like it my wardrobe, so I kept it!

Honey Punch Gillian Striped Open Cardigan

This fabric was super cozy.  It had that yarn-knit, homemade feel.  However, the arms were a little odd.  Do you see that seam halfway up my forearm?  It’s where a typical shoulder seam would be.  When I extended my arms to side, I got a little bat wing pose.  The fit made me feel clumsy so I sent it back.

41Hawthorn Jace Dot Print Fit & Flare Dress

I definitely appreciate every body part I have.  That said, there are certain areas I like to accentuate and some I prefer to minimize.  My hips are one of those areas I like to downplay.  This dress makes them very prominent.  I love the texture though and the colorful is a beautiful blue.  However, my hips don’t lie and I sent the dress back.

I only kept one piece of clothing from this Stitch Fix box which I consider a minor victory – both for my minimalist goals and my budgetary restraint.  As always, this box was so much fun and most definitely beats taking a 1 year old shopping!  Also, I love getting a surprise on my doorstep every month.
