Stitch Fix Review

Hello lovebugs!  I hope this lovely Tuesday is treating you well.  Seriously, it's like Virginia actually decided that it would have semi-decent weather for one afternoon (this morning was gross and rainy).  Tomorrow it's supposed to be 50 again, but right now I have the windows of the living room open to pretend it's springtime for like .5 seconds.  And I'm not the only one enjoying the weather...

Ginger was sketching on a bird but decided to take a break for a photo op.

Anyway, I wanted to do my StitchFix review as I got the box on Friday.  This is my second ever StitchFix but my first ever post about one, and I have to say, I love it.  For those of you not in the know, StitchFix is a sub box that can be scheduled at any time (monthly, bimonthly, whatever).  You fill out this pretty intense style questionnaire about likes, dislikes, sizes, etc. and they send you 5 items in every box- 4 clothing pieces, 1 accessory.  You can pick different price points for each type of clothing/accessory (skirts, dresses, jackets/sweaters, jewelry, etc.).  Currently, my clothing price points are $50-100 and my jewelry is under $50.  You can change any time you want.  Then you keep what you want and send the rest back in a prepaid bag.  You get charged $20 for shipping, but that's applied to anything you order in the box.  Also, if you keep all 5 items, you get a 25% discount.  And they give you little cards with outfit ideas for each piece!  So much fun, especially since I'm trying to push my fashion envelope this year and try new things!   You should totes try it.  Here's my referral link if you want to try- if you use this link to sign up, I would get $25 in credit for Stitchfix!  But even if you don't use it you should check it out cause it is a fab way to get some cool stuffs!

On to this month's haul and my review of each piece:

Addorable sweater jacket + sketch ass toes

This is the Luna Lurex Sweater Jacket by RD Style.  Now this was love at first sight- it's totes mggotes my style and has just the perfect amount of shine on it, with the chain on around the edges and the little faux pockets.  Plus it has a Blair Waldorf vibe (yes I like Gossip Girl.  No I don't care your opinion on it.  Unless you agree it's the best show ever until like halfway through season 4.  Then I'd love to hear your opinion ;) ).  BUT it's pretty expensive and had a bit of a snag on the sleeve.  So I put it in my maybe pile.  Thankfully, I thought about it long and hard (and figured out what to pair it with and decided it was basically the love of my life) AND my mom said she could fix the sleeve, so this BW fabulousness is stayin with momma!

Again with the toes...I gotta get my shit together.

Ready for my closeup Mr. DeMille

This lovely sheer top with the most fab tulip print is by Collective Concepts.  StitchFix very nicely threw in a layering cami for free (if I keep the top.  Which I'm totally doing).  Elbow length sleeves, a nice little v-neck, and the breezy quality that makes me want to go skip around in some meadow of flowers (which I would never actually do because I'm outdoorsy in the sense that I get drunk on patios if ya catch my drift) made this a no brainer.  And as the very helpful outfit idea card pointed out, this can be paired with jeans or a pencil skirt making it a versatile work to play piece.  Winning.  

No toes this time...I got smart.

This lovely cobalt number by Peppermint featured a hi-lo hem and a peter pan collar.  I so badly wanted to love this dress.  Unfortunately, my long legs did not agree- my Brittany was practically popping out that's how short it was in front!  Like one sneeze and the surprise is out.  Sometimes I can get away with such dresses as tops (how us tall girls get creative) but when I tried it on, it looked off and not cute.  So back it goes.  So sad.  But I would never wear it so no need to spend the monies.

Chambray skirt by Pennystock

I hate this skirt, I'm not even going to lie to you.  I couldn't even come up with a witty caption, that's how much I disliked this skirt.  It took me back to junior high.  Ugh.  It was a very lightweight denim and just not my style at all.  God all I need is some tragic kneehighs and a badly fitting sweater and I could be a member of the babysitter club (not hating on them but for real- didja see the movie??).  Definitely a no way Jose.

Dangly Betty Carre Earrings+ awkward alien hands

These earrings were my accessory du jour.  While they are indeed shiny, all I felt was a "meh" when I saw them.  They're cute, but nothing special.  Plus I'm more of a chunky studs kinda gal.  So these are going back as well.

All in all, 2 loves, 1 it's not you it's me, 1 meh, and 1 hatred isn't all that bad.  The total for the two pieces is a little steep, even with the $20 discount, but  I think the Cost Per Wear on these items is pretty low, since I can wear both of these pieces for work or casual times, out and about, or errand running.  If you would like me to break down Cost Per Wear, please let me know!  I'm all about getting a good value out of what I buy- if it's an investment I'll wear a lot, I'll buy it even if it's a bit expensive, but I'm less likely to buy an item that's super cute but I won't wear that much.  And I can rationalize my purchases like nobody's business yo!  Next time I'll try to take better pictures of my clothes- I have a serious learning curve when it comes to photography.  You'll see them in one of my (hopefully soon) outfit posts or if you follow me on Instagram (@magpiesandmimosas).
