Fix #3-Fit issues all around....

My StitchFix showed up early! It was slated for Monday but showed up yesterday instead.  I did cheat and look at my shipping list and was really looking forward to this fix.  So, without further ado, fix #3.  (Ps-if you're unaware of StitchFix, here's the gist. You fill out a survey with regards to your personal style and pay a $20 styling fee.  They send you a box with 5 items, that $20 goes towards the cost.  Keep all 5 items, get a 25% discount.)

Items #1 and #2-41Hawthorn studded blouse and Kut from the Kloth boyfriend shorts

I've seen the blouse in quite a few reveals and really liked it on other folks. I liked the white color of the blouse and the subtle pattern.  I was also super excited about the shorts. I've been wanting a darker wash boyfriend short and really liked the distressing.  However, I sensed trouble right away when I pulled them out of the box.


So, the top was too tight in the chest area and sleeves hit at a weird spot.  It actually doesn't look that bad but trust me, moving would have been an issue! The shorts had the exact problem I thought they would.  Too big.  Could pull them away from my waist about an inch or so right out of the box.  After a couple hours of wear I think they might have ended up at my ankles.  I also wonder if they're too long? Feedback on that would be appreciated! I did say maybe size down in my comments on the shorts.

Verdict:  Returned (both)

Item #3-Papermoon Lassie Split Lace top

I'm lazy so I just left the shorts on. I couldn't find a picture of this online when I was looking so this one was a surprise.  I love the color and the idea of the top but it was warm and a bit itchy.  I knew I wouldn't use it until fall at the earliest.  For some reason, the slanty lace also bothered me.  




So, now that I'm looking at the pictures today, I actually like this better than I did yesterday.  Maybe I'll request it again once we're closer to fall and cooler temperatures.  It does draw a LOT of attention to my butt, which I'm okay with...stuff to contemplate I guess!

Verdict:  Returned (for now?)

Item #4-Pixley Turk Tank top

I had pinned this on my board pretty much right after StitchFix had posted the picture on Pinterest.  I think it is a great piece that could be dressed up and down just as easily.  I also feel like it is a very classic basic.





Verdict:  Kept!!  Yay!!

Item #5- Mystree Elene Cutout Dress

Um, yeah.  So, I loved the idea of this dress but once again I knew it was trouble out of the box!  WAY too small.  No stretch whatsoever and only a side zipper. I think it would have been wonderful if I could have gotten it over the girls.  I also would probably be stuck in it for forever..  Hanger pictures are all that were possible!  





Oh how I wish this had worked!!

Verdict:  Returned 

So I'm pretty consistent with my 1 for 5 fixes, although I think the styling was closer to what I am looking for with this fix.  I would have kept all 5 if I could have.  It was fit issues that prevented it.  I have to be moving in the right direction that way!
