Stitch Fix #1

I heard about Stitch Fix via Veronica Belmont.  I don't really *hate* traditional shopping, but I am lazy so anything that allows me to stay on the couch is worth a shot.

What is Stitch Fix? Basically, you fill out a style profile, pay a $20 styling fee, and then they ship you 5 items of their choosing to try on.  You have three days to try them on in your own home and decide what you like.  You pay for the items you like (and the styling fee becomes a credit) and anything that doesn't make the cut gets shipped back.

Here's what I got:

Oh, I was sick at the time, hence the lack of effort in posing and styling...and the decapitation in most of the photos.

Rachel Eva Diamond Danglers $38

I didn't dislike these.  Actually, they kind of grew on me...until I went to Kohl's the day after I got the shipment and saw an almost identical pair for $15.

THML Amber Mixed Material Hi-Low Top $48

On someone else, I would have loved this.  It looked cute when I pulled it out of the box, and it was really comfy, but I didn't feel like it was very flattering.

Collective Concepts Ivy Sheer Tulip Print V-Neck Blouse $78

Okay.  Here's the thing.  I'm cheap.  I also work from home 80% of the time so I pretty much live in sweats and tanks.  All that taken into consideration, $50 is pretty much my limit on a top.  I really, really liked this top but didn't like the price.  I tried so hard to talk myself into it, but I just couldn't do it.

Everly Janey Back Cutout Hi-Low Tunic $34

Hey! That's in my budget.  Too bad the price was the only thing I liked.  I'm on the fence with the Hi-Low trend anyway, but this tunic made me feel like a penguin.  Especially with my reflective-white legs.

Honey Punch Trina Split Neck Sleeveless Dress $58

When I pulled this out of the box, I was super excited about the color.  Unfortunately, I ruined that excitement by putting on this potato sack of a dress.  You can't tell in the photos, but there was a lot of extra room in the area between the straps and my armpits.  I assume it's because I barely have a chest.

So...everything went back.  I was a little disappointed to have lost the $20 fee, but the experience was worth trying.
