My First Stitch Fix :)

I love the personalized service that Stitch Fix brings.  LOVE IT! The package came neatly folded and wrapped in a box.  I had to go fetch it from my post office this morning in the ice because they wouldn't leave it on my doorstep. I apologize for the hot mess in the pictures...  (both myself and my bedroom) we just moved in and instead of unpacking, I am blogging!

My personalized note: Awesome. Love it! I like the fact that the stylist Teresa looked at my profile, notes and pinterest page.  I can tell she really tried to take my likes and dislikes into consideration.


Item #1: 41Hawthorn McAdams Beaded Neckline Blouse $58 XL


First Impression:  I love the color of this shirt and the beautiful beading on the neckline. I have green eyes so this will make my them pop.. I also love that I can wear this year round.  The material is 100% polyester but it feels very high quality to me.  The beading makes this look as expensive as it costs. 


Review: I love it.  I loved the color, beading and the fit.  It fit perfectly! 

Verdict: KEEPING!!!! 

Item #2 41Hawthorn Norah Button Front V-Neck Long Sleeve Blouse $68 XL



First Impression:  My first impression of this is that I love the blouse, but the color might wash me right out.  As a teacher, I live on cardigans. I am trying to expand my blouse collection! 

Review: Just as I thought, the color DID NOT WORK.  I also didn't like the poofy sleeves at the shoulder and wrist.  I want to keep experimenting with blouses but this was def not a keeper.


Verdict: RETURNED

Item #3 Mystree Abigail Colorblock Lace Trim Top $58 XL



First  Impression: I LOVE LACE and I love the fact that my stylist (ha! I have a stylist!) picked up on that from my pinterest page. I love the different tones of blue used in this shell and the beautiful lace.  The shirt is a little sheer, I will have to wear something underneath it for school. This will look great with a cardigan or alone for a night out :) Hoping this fits :) Material: 97% Polyester 3% Spandex. Can machine was but recommended Dry Clean. 


Review: Did I mention that I love lace?  This was so cute, lightweight and flattering.  Love it! It isn't as sheer as I thought when I put it on. This will pair well with a cardigan and looks great alone :) Sorry the picture stinks.. lol



Verdict: Keeping

Item #4 Market & Spruce Corinna Striped Dolman Top $48 XL



First Impression: I am praying that this looks as good on as I think it will.  I LOVE IT.. I love the fact that I can wear this to work and wear this casually.  Material 60% Rayon, 35% Polyester, 5% Spandex.  I do wish this was cotton.. we will see how it is when I put this on. 

Review: I love the style and color of this shirt. I can wear this to work AND for a casual night out. Very excited to wear this! 



Verdict: KEEPING

Item #5 41Hawthorn Renesme Graphic Print Faux Wrap Dress $78 XL



First Impression: I LOVE IT! I both hope it fits, and hope it doesn't fit. (its expensive!) I love the wrap part. I am extremely hour glass shaped so I have a feeling that if this does fit right, it will highlight my small waist.  The material is 94% Polyester, 6% Spandex. 

Review: I like this dress... I like.. not love.  In order for me to keep this dress, I need to love it. It fit well, but I don't like the material.  I need something more structured in order to feel comfortable. For $78 bucks, it wasn't worth it to me! It is a great dress though!



Verdict: Returned. 

_________________

I am keeping 3/5 items for a total of $144.  This is more than I would normally spend on clothes, but I have to say it was so much fun trying things on and trying NEW things I wouldn't have tried before.  I think that is the best part about it. Normally, we stick to the same things, it is nice to have a refresher.  It definitely isn't cheap and I won't be doing this every month.

If you keep all the options, you get a 25% discount... so sometimes you make out better with all 5 rather than returning 1.  All of these together would have been $217.50 ($310- $20(styling fee)- $72.50 (25% discount).
