Stitch Fix numero quatro arrived on Friday. I actually peeked at the website before opening my box and was a little disappointed. But then when I tried on the items, I liked them more than I thought I would.
First up was the Market & Spruce Chaplin Lined Hooded Anorak Jacket. That's a mouthful. I had this pinned, but didn't plan on keeping it because I had just gotten a jacket in my last fix. BUT I kind of have a weak spot for cute jackets. I told myself that if this was any color, other than army green, I was sending it back. Lo and behold, it was army green. Also, it was lined and had a hood. Two things that seem to be harder to find than they should be, but are necessary for autumn in Chicago. At the end of the day, I just liked this too much not to keep it. It was the perfect weight - not light, but not too heavy either. Note my favorite red headed toddler making a guest appearance!

Verdict: KEPT |
Next up was the Dean Skinny Jean and Daniel Rainn Waltie Black Lace Panel Blouse. The jeans had a little zipper at the ankle and upon seeing it, my initial reaction was no thanks. But then I changed my mind and decided I really liked that added detail. However, after wearing these pants for a bit, I realized I had to keep pulling them up. So these had to go back. Normally anything Daniel Rainn is an automatic keeper for me, but I just didn't love this blouse. I love floral patterns, but this pattern was a bit much and I wasn't sure about the dark color. It did have a really cute lace panel down the back that I loved. I may regret not keeping it.

Verdict RETURNED pants and RETURNED blouse |
Then it was time for the Colourworks Syriana Open Drape Cardigan. I really liked the texture/material of this one, but that's the only positive thing I can say. It was just wrong for me. Too long and just too big. I felt like it was swallowing me.

Verdict: RETURNED |
Finally, the 41Hawthorne Ahoy Lace Panel Knit Top. This is so me. I loved it. I wish it was a little longer, but I wore a cami under it and problem solved. Stripes and lace - yes and yes. It may not look all that flattering in the picture, but I don't care. Knit tops like this are perfect for working at home or errands with the boys.

Verdict: KEPT |
So there you have it. Once again, I was really happy with my Fix. Also, props to me for getting out the camera once again! And I didn't even chop off part of my head in these pics!! ;)
As always, if you're considering trying Stitch Fix, I'd be so grateful if you used my referral code! https://www.stitchfix.com/referral/5478084
Stitch Fix for the win!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the anorak, and tried to find it to buy online.
It's the exact in-between jacket I've been looking for! I love the orange at the zipper!
All I could find was a lot of women very happy that it was included in their Stitch Fix delivery.
If I DO find it, what size do you think I need? I'm 5'4", 125 lbs,.very narrow shoulders/rib cage (32 band bra) and usually a 4 or 6 in jeans/dresses.
The striped top IS cute, I agree that the shawl/wrap is trying to eat you, and you do look lovely in that floral blouse.
Stop bragging about your jeans falling down :o)
I believe that Stitch Fix has exclusive brands/styles only available though Stitch Fix, but I hope you're able to find the jacket! Or you could always join in on the Stitch Fix fun. ;) Anyway, I would go with a size small based on the measurements you described. :) Mine is a medium and I wear a size 8.
ReplyDeleteAs for the jeans, I think it was more about the style/cut versus the fit... although, I'd love it if they were too big. I think these were more of a low rise style and that never works very well for me.
The people who design jeans don't seem to know much about the actual dimensional realities of the female posterior. A pair of truly well fitting jeans is hard to find.
ReplyDeleteYou're looking good lady - thanks for the info!
You are so right! My derriere is always the problem when searching for the perfect pair of pants! Ha. And thank you! :)
DeleteI lov that jacket! And the top is super cute too! I need to try Stitch Fix!
ReplyDeleteI've had lots of fun with it! Definitely recommend giving it a try. And it you do, my advice is be very specific in your clothing likes/dislikes and create a Pinterest board.
