Second Stitch Fix

I received my second Stitch Fix Box yesterday and I was happy as the first time! If you aren't familiar with Stitch Fix, read all about it in my previous blog post.

This time I received 4 clothing pieces as well as 1 jewelry item.  Right away I could see fresh spring colors peeking out of the box.  The first item I saw after excitedly opening my box were earrings, they were gold colored hoops with crystals.

The Octavia Shadow Crystal Teardrop Earrings were lovely. I like the way they looked, but the price at forty-eight dollars was too high for me to consider keeping them. I am usually pretty cheap on my costume jewelry purchases. My track record with earrings is not stellar, because of this I usually frequent the clearance section at Kohl's or Target.

Next, was the Colibri Solid Tab Sleeve Blouse in a beautiful Aqua color. I was immediately drawn to the color and soft texture of the shirt.  I liked that there was an option to roll the sleeve up with a button tab or leave it down at a 3/4 length.  I tried it on with dark cropped jeans and flats.  The shirt tucked in looked better, and I also liked the sleeves rolled up a bit more.  I decided not to keep the blouse however much I liked it because of the low quality of craftsmanship.  There were many threads hanging that had not been finished off. Also some of the sewing seemed a little off line. The pocket on the front of the blouse was also crooked.  It was unclear if this was intentional or not. The cost was forty-eight dollars.

One sleeve up, one sleeve down.

I tried on the Corinna Striped Dolman Top next.  This was a gray colored to with black horizontal stripes.  I wasn't too crazy about the stripes at first glance. I am not a big horizontal stripe fan.  Again, I paired this top with the same dark cropped jeans and black flats.  I liked the softness of the material, but that's where the positive ends.  I felt this top did not flatter my figure in any way.  The stripes near the end of the sleeves were also strange because they wrapped around the arm, rather than following the pattern on the rest of the top. This is for sure going back. The price was forty-eight dollars.

I didn't like this at all!!

The Freddy Sleeveless Chiffon Dress was next.  This dress was soft and appealing in a springy coral color.  I wasn't too sure how it would look on. This style isn't something I normally try. I was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked this dress after putting it on. I first paired it with some jeweled sandals, an aqua cardigan and aqua necklace. I really liked the way it looked. This was a maybe for sure.  Fifty-eight dollars was the price and as I am usually a very budget conscious shopper, the price gave me pause.

I almost kept this dress, I wish I wasn't such a cheapskate!!

Last to be tried on, was the Huebert Space Dye Open Cardigan. I have several open cardigans that I really like.  They are versatile pieces that can be dressed up or down.  The color was a marbled gray which I liked as it can be paired with many other colors successfully.  At first I used a v-neck aqua shirt and dark jean to try the cardigan out. It looked ok, but nothing spectacular.  I decided to change the top to something different.  I changed into a blue-violet ballet neck tshirt with the same jeans and I was very pleased.  The cardigan is lightweight so I can wear it late into the spring and even on a cool summer night.  The front is swingy with extra material and I love that too! This was a keeper, the cost was fifty-eight dollars.

Keeper! I already wore this to work :-)

Overall, I was extremely happy with this stitch fix box.  I already scheduled my next one for early in June.  I also adjusted my style profile. This is a great tool so you can customize what you want your stylist to focus on. The next box I wanted to have no jewelry but perhaps a scarf or purse. Prints were also something I noted that I would like to see.  Can't wait till next month!
