Review: Stitch Fix

Oh yes my friends.  Even though it has been a busy weekend of moving and cleaning, I had to make time to share my monthly Stitch Fix box.  Arguably one of the best days of the month.  (See last month's review here).

The thing I was most excited about when I opened this box was the message enclosed inside.  Last month, I explained to my stylists that, as much as I loved the dresses, I couldn't wear a lot of them because they were too short and I have super duper long legs.  The stylists responded this month that they totally understood where I was coming from and included some longer dresses this month.  Yayyyyyyyy!  :D  It's so hard as a tall girl to find clothes that are long enough.  I have a normal torso so shirts are rarely a problem (unless they have a short waist because then I look disproportional) but pants, shorts, skirts, and dresses are always a pain in my ass.

So anyway...on to this month's haul of clothes!


Mystree Florence Colorblock Dress
Gah I lovedddd this dress when I pulled it out!  The navy is perfect for spring and summer because it's not as harsh as black, and the color blocking on the bottom is just adorbs.  However, when I tried it on, the top was a bit too blousy for my liking.  It made me look like I had no shape whatsoever.  I need all the help I can get with that, especially up top if ya know what I mean.  So unfortunately, I did not love this dress and will be returning it.  It hurts my heart, but I would never wear it.  

Miilla Joelle Asymmetrical Sheath Dress
This was just your basic navy dress.  You can't see it, but the "asymmetrical" part was on the back with the straps.  It was kind of weird and had no shape to it.  Just sort of hung on me and had a different strap on one side than the other.  Not my cup of tea.  Back she goes.

Zio Shilo Crossfront Hi-Lo Printed Top
Alright, so I liked the idea of this top.  The hi-lo hem and the print were pretty rad and I could totes see myself rocking it with a statement necklace and white jeans.  But when I tried it on, it hit my waist at a weird spot and just looked ill-fitting.  The back being a length that would have actually looked good on me made it even worse.  No thank you.  

41Hawthorn Geo Shape Studs Set

Love love love LOVE these studs from 41Hawthorn.  They are small enough to wear to work, but fab enough to wear out should I so choose.  I love jewelry with a little pizzazz, and have particularly been feeling green and gold together.  The other ones have that druzy look that's so big right now, and is something I've been wanting to add to my collection.  These babies are definitely stayin.

Alright so, the last dress I received was a DownEast Jocelyn Ikat Print Belted Dress.  I loved it so much I thought I would show myself in it.  You know, ANTM style (not quite lol).


I'm sure Tyra would appreciate the sunburn , no makeup, and the slightly glazed over look I'm giving the camera cause I'm tired.   I'm smizin like a champ though (not).

Gah I love it!  The rope belt is totally inspired, and the green ikat print is so fresh for spring and summer.  I feel that I could dress this up or down, and it makes me just want to go do something nautical (the rope belt obvs).  I can NOT wait to wear this baby...I may even attempt to make it work appropriate (I feel as though I could rock it for casual Friday with the right accessories).  So this dress is also staying.

So that was this month's haul.  I feel like the stylists are getting to know me because they're sending me lots of cute things I like now.  Pretty much the only problem is length and fit on my tall ass self, which is totally not their problem.  I like that they actual listen to the comments you leave them too, which makes me happy.  I'm already looking forward to next month's box!!

Alright, I'm dying of hunger and have a couple more homework items to cross of my list, so I'm off.  Hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday and I will see you tomorrow for a Magpie Monday :D

See ya!
