Brand: Level 99 Giovanni Straight Leg Jean
Price:$98
Status: Kept
These are skinny jeans. My legs are not skinny at the top (I have giant thighs). I've never tried on a skinny pant that I liked. So I was skeptical when I held these up. But after trying them on, I was amazed. They fit! They didn't look too tight. And they were comfortable. They are a nice grey and my stylist mentioned that they would be a good contrast for the navy blue top I kept from my last fix. I totally agree! I do admit that I gulped when I opened the list with the prices because I normally wouldn't pay almost $100 for a pair of pants, but I had already fallen in love. I'm wearing them in all the pictures.
Brand: Market & Spruce Corinna Striped Dolman Top
Price: $48
Status: Kept
This was a top I kept seeing on Pinterest in various colors. The Dolman style seems to be popular right now and I haven't tried the style myself, so I pinned it with a note saying as much. My stylist saw that I had pinned it and sent it my way. I love the color. I love the feel. And I think it looks pretty good. Definitely a keeper.
Brand: Fun2Fun Julianna Back Cutout Top
Price: $38
Status: Kept but only because I was keeping the other 4 items and it was a better price to keep this one and get the 25% discount on everything. Otherwise this would have gone back.
I wanted to like this top. The pattern and color were great. The fabric felt nice. The back detail was neat. But then I put it on. I felt like I was wearing a tent. The front just ballooned out and was pretty short. So disappointing. I knew I would not be keeping this. Yet after deciding to keep the other four items and doing the math, it was a much better deal to keep this one and get the 25% discount for keeping all five pieces. So it's staying. I think I'll try it with a cardigan or something to see if I can tame the tent. I do like the pattern and color after all.

Brand: Renee C Shelton Split Back Top
Price: 48
Status: Kept
This was another item I had pinned. Although a little more "busy" than I normally would choose, I like the colors and was happy to see it in my box. After trying it on, I thought that it was a nice staple with some great details and I could wear it by itself or with a cardigan. Another keeper.
Brand: Brixon Ivy Pinson Drape Cardigan
Price: $54
Status: Kept
Yet another item I had pinned to my Pinterest board. This was an item I was really hoping my stylist would send me at some point and so I was thrilled to see it in this box. And I was not disappointed. The fit is great and I love the drape and feminine details. I'll definitely be wearing this one a lot.
I know that not everything my stylist will send me in the future will be things that I love, but after this experience, I can't wait for my next fix. I actually rescheduled the next fix so it would come a week earlier, I'm so eager to see what is in the box. And I'm really looking forward to wearing these pieces.
What do you think? Did I make the right choices this month?
What is Stitch Fix?
Stitch Fix is a service where a personal stylist sends you five pieces each month (or however often yo decide to receive your fixes) based upon your profile/suggestions/previous likes and dislikes from fixes. You have three days to try on the pieces and decide what to keep and what to send back. If you keep everything from your fix, you get a 25% discount. (You do pay a $20 styling fee for each shipment, but that goes toward your purchase as long as you keep one item.)
You can tell your stylist what you like and don't like, and Stitch Fix suggests that you create a Pinterest board with styles/items you like so your stylist can view them. And I can say after two fixes that my stylist has definitely paid attention to my Pinterest board because she's sent me some of the actual pieces I've pinned, which is really neat.
If you want to try out Stitch Fix for yourself, please use my referral link to sign up (If you sign up through that, I get a $25 credit when you are sent your first fix. Thank you in advance!)
