Stitch Fix Obsession!

OK, so this is a break from my normal posts.  But I can't resist!  I’ve really been enjoying Stitch Fix, the personal styling service that shops for you and sends 5 items of clothing or accessories to your door, either monthly or on the date you choose.

If you keep nothing, you send it all back in their prepaid envelope and they charge you a $20 styling fee. But if you keep at least one item, that fee goes toward the cost of your item.  But the entire box (which I did the first time) and you get a 25% discount.

My first item is the Margaret M Emer High Waisted Cropped Trouser.  Can I just say that I love these pants?  They don't button or zip - you just pull them on so I was quite certain they wouldn't fit.  But they fit like a glove and are form fitting enough to be flattering but they aren't uncomfortably tight.   Downside is they are "cropped" but aren't short at all on me.  Oh well, don't tell anyone that they should be shorter.  I'm wearing them with the new jean jacket that I found at Kohl's this week.  Who knew jean jackets would be back in style?

Next up is the Pomelo Moni Stud Detailed 3/4 Sleeve Blouse.  Looking at this picture makes me second glance sending it back but it photographs better than it actually looks.  I wasn't a fan of the sleeves.  There were studs on the sleeves and they were a bit tight and awkward.  Nice color though.  And still totally loving these pants.  By the way, do you like the glasses?  I am trying them out.  Warby Parker allows you to pick 5 frames to try out at home to see what you like.

Everyone loves a good cardigan, right?  I actually have a few grey cardigan's but this one just can't be passed up.  It just looks nice.  Some of my other one's are frumpy.  I would throw them on if I was cold but they would never add anything to an outfit.  So I'm stoked about this one.  It's always cold in the office so I will get some use out of this one even in the summer.

Next came the Toss Josie Tassel Clutch.  I'm really not a purse person but thought that I should be open minded.  Maybe that is the answer for how to be stylish... the right clutch?  Eh, not this one.  It is too big for a flat squarish clutch.  And not sure what I would do with the orange. 

I really wanted to like this dress (41Hawthorn Maddison Geo Print Belted Shirt Dress).  But it wasn't happening.  It looked like I grabbed a shirt out of Eric's closet.  The collar was a bit odd.  Overall just not a good look for me, so definitely going back.

Here's a shout out to my first fix.  This was the outfit I got.  LOVE IT!  These are jeans that also fit so well.  The top is sleeveless, which means a cardigan is essential for me at work.
