Stitch Fix Friday: Fix #6

It’s time for another round of awkward photos!  You might remember Stitch Fix #5 I had my daughter help me take the photos.  Well, yesterday I thought it would be a good idea to have my husband take them since he was home.  Turns out I’ve had better ideas.  He says it’s because I “didn’t give him any direction or instructions”.  And I’m all “our 7-year-old did better than you with the same instructions.”

So, either way.  Taking pictures of yourself is still super awkward and I don’t have it down yet.  I’m hoping maybe I will figure out a better system by my next fix.  And then maybe I can look back at these and laugh like I do with my early food photography.  Yikes 🙂

First- Have you heard of Stitch Fix?  It’s basically like having your own personal stylist once a month (or as often as you like).  They send you a box of five items with a style card on how to wear each piece.  Keep what you want, send back what you don’t (in a pre-paid envelope)- all with no commitment to buy.  You pay a $20 styling fee that goes toward anything you decide to keep.  

So far my fixes have been:
Stitch Fix #1 – sent it all back
Stitch Fix #2 – sent it all back
Stitch Fix #3 – kept a brown tote
Stitch Fix #4 – kept a black dress

Now for Fix #6:

41Hawthrorn Milan Lace Print Back Pleat Top ($58) This shirt had an oversized feel and pretty lace detail.  I paired with with a skirt as suggested on my style card.  Would also be cute with skinnies and flats.  Keep!

Tart Martine Tie-Dye Print Maxi Dress ($98) Not gonna lie, when I first saw this I thought “$98 for a maxi dress???” but then I tried it on and wanted to live in it.  It’s so slinky and smooth.  It’s a heavyweight fabric with a little bit of stretch and it’s SO long!  I usually shy away from maxi’s, being so tall, I just always feel like they look weird on me.  I love this dress though.  Keep!

Le Sample Kahlo Embroidered Solid Tank ($38) Ok so this outfit haha… I’ve never considered myself a fashionista.  I’m more of a jeans and flip flop kind of person… which is why I signed up for Stitch Fix in the first place, to break those habits!  This outfit was way out of my comfort zone.  I bought those camo pants months ago and now that I’ve lost 15 pounds, they barely fit me.  I bought those ankle boots at Target last year for like $7 on clearance, also never worn.  I saw on Pinterest you need to roll the cuff to show some ankle??  I don’t like this top, the embroidery is cute, but I’m not a fan of anything hi-lo (shorter in the front, longer in the back… like a mullet).  Also don’t love that it’s a racer-back; I’m not about to bust out a strapless bra for running around with two kids.  If I’m going to have to wear a different bra, it better be a dang cute top!

Fun2Fun Erika Elephant Print Sleeveless Henley Blouse ($28)  I do love this top though.  The little elephants- I die.  I love the detail on the trim and that it’s longer in the back.  Also love the teal.  Keep!  Close up of the print:

Bay to Baubles Westminster Colored Gem Stud Earrings ($28) I also kept these cute little earrings.  I love that they matched so many of the pieces from my fix too.

This was the first time I kept my entire fix!  While I didn’t love the Kahlo tank, it would have actually cost me money to send it back since I wouldn’t have gotten the 25% discount for keeping all five pieces.  This fix was worth $250 – $20 styling fee – 25% discount, bringing it down to $172.50!

Have you tried Stitch Fix?  Anything you would have sent back that I decided to keep?
