Winter Fashion – Stitch Fix Style

Published by

Hello Hello! So, normally I only get my fixes once a month but for some reason, they scheduled this one only 2 weeks after my last fix. I could have gone in and changed it, but decided to go ahead with it. Plus it turned out to be perfect timing for this post, so all is well in the end :) I mean, let’s face it… I really don’t have fashion sense much less any fashion advice to share. Other than sharing my sewing creations, Stitch Fix is about fashion-y as it gets around here! So here’s what I got in my latest box: I was very mixed about this box. It was a close call between keeping everything and keeping nothing. :/ And sorry, no try-ons this time around. I love Stitch Fix reviews that show how the clothes fit, but it just didn’t happen today. Look by M Prescott Solid Fringe Detail Wrap Scarf | $32 | Status: Sent back Super soft, big, and comfy! Although the color is really nice (a light …

Stitch Fix #6 – November

Published by

Got home from Vegas to a wonderful surprise! My November Stitch Fix box! Okay so technically I knew it was coming, but it was exciting nonetheless. ;) It was scheduled to come the day we were leaving but after a quick email to the Stitch Fix peeps they changed the date no problem. Love their customer service! Here’s what I got this month — my request was for some items to wear for work. Tulle Abner Long Sleeve Textured Sheath Dress | $68 | Status: Sent back I wanted to love this dress. The color was really nice and it had a fun texture and perfect length, but it just didn’t fit quite right. Would be a great holiday dress, though! Market and Spruce Jay Mini Houndstooth Printed Skirt | $58 | Status: Sent back Since I started sewing, I’m so much more critical of RTW clothing. This skirt was okay, but it was definitely something I felt would be a super easy sew so I wasn’t about to pay $58 for it. I’m sure …

Halloween 2014

Published by

Halloween 2014… a.k.a. the year I bought an entire bold of fabric and didn’t sew anything :) And the year of lazy costumes. Basically, the complete opposite of last year. Halloween was weird this year. It was my last official day in the military, we were getting ready to move across the country, AND I didn’t do really anything for my costumes. Call me a costume snob, but I blame my mom (love you, Mom!) ;) I was spoiled and never had a store-bought costume growing up, and I’ve always tried to avoid them as much as possible. This year I had two costumes, both thrown together with regular clothes… they weren’t my favorites but they worked out alright. So first up, just in case you’ve ever wondered what an entire bold of army green broadcloth looks like… here ya go: Here’s the whole M*A*S*H crew: And here was the same group (mostly) the weekend before: :) Oh my goodness, I’m going to miss all of them so much! Who wouldn’t!? Check that group out! …

Stitch Fix #5 – October

Published by

I’m a little late posting this one, but here’s what I got in my Stitch Fix box last month! This was the first time I put something in the “note to your stylist” box before they put my fix together — I requested a vest for fall. Tulle Percie Gathered Waist Puffer Vest | $78 | Status: Sent back Ok, yes, I know… I asked for a vest. And I love the brand; I actually have a dress that I found on their sale page a few years ago (and by a few I mean like 6… ugh, where does the time go!?). Looking back at this one it wasn’t all that bad… maybe. The shape just didn’t win me over. It didn’t photograph well enough to tell, but it was too puffed out at the bottom so it gave me a very weird shape, so I sent it back. I actually went shopping a little with my mom yesterday and found this vest at Old Navy that I love… so my vest fix has been satiated for now …

September Stitch Fix

Stitch Fix #4 Google Stitch Fix and what do you find!? THIS! It’s crazy! I mean… think of another company that has people constantly advertising for them to this extent. I’m sure there are some…maybe Apple… :/ but either way, I’m constantly impressed by their methods of getting and keeping customers. Maybe it’s the power of referral links and the $25 credit that you get if someone tries Stitch Fix from your link… but personally, I think other peoples’ reviews are half the fun of participating in Stitch Fix. Maybe that’s weird :) But that’s why I decided to post my own reviews, even though it feels uncomfortable sometimes. I also love to look up the items I get to see what other people thought of them. It’s always funny when the items I love the most are the ones other people hate or vice versa. Anywhoo… on to my Stitch Fix advertising! :) Oh, and by the way I really do think Stitch Fix is awesome… I have to admit I am completely on their bandwagon. Mystree Charlie …
