Stitch Fixery #13

Time for fix number 13....in case you thought you missed the keepers from 11 and 12, you did not.  I really need to get the pictures done of those items. Lately there just seems to be not enough hours in the day, maybe if there was less real work, more time for fun blog work and just more time for fun in general it would be different. Seriously doubtful, cause if this girl didn't have to work for her money...I would just be out having some serious summer fun. 

Now anyways stay tuned for #11-12 keepers, and we shall get on with number 13....my request was basically anything that would work for my Mexico trip and the small town music fest that was right around the corner.

1. Papermoon Loraine Lace Trim Knit Tank

 

This one was a keeper.  Perfect with my skinnie jeans and I won nothing like it.  Plus the cotton was very soft and I am a total sucker when it comes to soft cotton.

 

2. Isabelle Crochet Tank Top

 

Another keeper.  This was absolutely perfect for putting on over my swimsuit when we were in Mexico.  There I also paired it up with a pair of brown khaki shorts.

 

3. Chambrai Norene Linen Cuffed Short

 

While I love linen shorts, as you can tell by the expression on my face these went back.  Color was ok, length was a little long and they really did nothing for the butt.

 

4. Papermoon Briar Maxi Dress

 

Alright, let's just call this a short girl dream.  I am happy they sent a maxi dress.  In the picture I was in heels plus standing on my toes and still today I am not sure that this works for me.  It went back. Fun to try though.

 

5. Street Level Kaeyln Laser Cut Two-Tone Reversible Tote

 

And finally we have a bag bigger than I am, which was ok since I asked for something to take to the beach.  This went back. Maybe it was the reversible factor or the vision of sand in all the die cutouts, not sure but it wasn't working for me.

 

There is my number 13.  With being introduced to this whole concept of capsule wardrobe and seasonal color matching, I will be tasking my stylist with something related to those for number 14.

 

Now the famous last words, if you haven't tried it....go do it already.  Here are the details on how you can get in on the action.

 

If you are unaware what it is, here are some details. Go online here: Stitchfix. Fill out a style profile, pay $20 to have the sylist pick out and send you clothes. Once you receive them you have three days to choose which ones you will keep and which ones you will return. You make notes online also regarding what you liked or didn't like to help out the stylist on your next fix.

 

 

 

Stitch Fixery #11-12

Since my last little stich fix post, I have actually had two boxes of glory arrive at my doorstep.  Today I am going to grace everyone with the uuuummm, sorry no, not so much items.  Or the items that were just not me and had to go back to find the correct owner.

1. Kathy Striped Fit and Flare Dress

I thought this was cute and liked the fit, but there as just something about the stripes that wasn't working for me.   Turns out though it did work for K and she scored herself a new dress.  So this one was kind of a no...yet keep.

2. and 3.   Lennox Lace Detail Blouse and Caius Straight Leg Jean

Now the lace detailing and pattern on the shirt was cute.  I couldn't get over the little tie in the front.  Now the jeans, the color was just awkward for me.  Comfort level was awesome, but I just couldn't get past the color and finding something to wear with it in my closet.

 

4. Jaye Cutout Shoulder Blouse

 

I am a sucker for the cutout shoulders.  The pattern though and the fit was a little off for me.



And there you have my little, uuummm no's.  Stayed tuned as I work on getting the heck to the yeah ones together.  Hopefully I will be able to get that to you before my next little surprise comes in May.  

Stay pretty and have a great weekend!

Stitch Fixery #10

Been quite sometime since I was able to get one of these little things a moving.   The fix actually came in towards the beginning of November ( I think).  Ok yes way to long since I have been able to get this going.

And once again Jessica completely hit this one out of the park.

 

1. Brentwood Jersey Stripe Tiered Top - First I was kind of hesitant about keeping this, but the hubbie loved it.  So of course then it had to stay.  Turns out though it was a good idea.  The material is super soft. I dressed it up and have worn it to dinner with some black skinnies and heels plus it easily dresses down too.

2. Analisa Twisted Seam Pull-Over Sweater and Denna Colored Skinny Jean - Hello sweater weather, I was completely in need of some super comfy yet stylish sweaters for the fall and winter.  Then those jeans, this would be my very first pair of colored denim.  I was unsure at first, but now I find myself wearing them quite often.  Where I wore: out for breakfast, the mall, hello.

3. Lanna Boat Neck Sweater - Another welcome addition for fall and winter.  Absolutely loved the color of this sweater. Where I wore:  errand running and work

 

4. Layla Twin Stripe and Elbow Patch Cardigan - Again, what can I say except loved it.  This was my very first striped cardigan that would be added to my wardrobe.  Where I wore:  lounging and errand running.

 

Since my update of my sizes and making sure I have been very detailed about my loves and hates, I have had some amazing fixes.  Jessica, my stylist, is amazeballs.  My next fix will be arriving today.  I could not be more excited and hope that my girl Jessica hooked me up with some glory again this time.

Now the famous last words, if you haven't tried it....go do it already.  Here are the details on how you can get in on the action.

I Feel Pretty - Stitch Fixery #9

It was that time again when a glorious little box arrives at my doorstep filled with clothes for me to try.  Now on my last fix, I bought the whole box and ended up gifting one of the shirts.  This time around Jessica took care of my fix again and completely hit it out of the park.  With that being said, you should know I kept the whole box and this is what is now gracing my closet...bring on stitch fix out and about.

1. Rodrigo Racerback Printed Stripe Tank
2. Anita Ponte Pant

And the winners for our anniversary date and absolutely perfect for our Cage the Elephant and The Black Keys concert.  The top trendy and the pants super comfortable and perfectly fit. If you have a special occasion coming, let the stylist know.  They are amazing at picking the perfect items.

3. Malcom Abstract Chevron Dolman Sleeve Top - this picture does this shirt no justice.  The colors are vibrant and fun plus the material is super soft.  For out little Mexican night, I paired it with some skinny jeans and red pumps.   Next up it will be accompanied by some bright flats or flippie flops for a little more casual/work wear.

4. Filbert 3/4 Sleeve Popover Blouse - Long sleeved yet somewhat shear.  Perfect for our Wisconsin in between weather that we get during the fall months. You can write this down to as my very first red shirt in my wardrobe.

5. Benfield Heathered Drape front Cardigan - This was the very first one I tried on and knew it was a keeper.  Even the hubbie knew it wasn't going anywhere.  Super soft, cozy and perfect for throwing on during these cooler fall days.

And there you have my last super glorious stitch fix.  Jessica Rocks.  And now I shall impatiently wait until my next one.

Now the famous last words, if you haven't tried it....go do it already.  Here are the details on how you can get in on the action.

StitchFix Friday

Todays Friday Five is going to be Stitchfix Friday.   It serioulsy seemed like forever since I had gotten anything.  What is it? how does it work?  No need to fret I will hook you up with the little details at the end of this post.

Now moving on, what was in the box?

Do you see a zebra?  Me either, but hey there is a lot of stripes going on here.

 

1. Dory Braid Detailed Striped Tank - Material of the shirt..softy, comfy.  Cut was perfect on me. Color very summery.  Really liked the variations on the stripes on this shirt. 

 

2.Kahlo Embroidered Racerback Tank - The picture does this shirt no justice. The embrodiery was very detailed.  Cut on the upper portion was nice.  The flare out on the bottom was a little much. 

  For all you girls who fashion blog, you be the bomb. This whole standing, posing, and smiling like you are not faking it thing is hard work. 

3. Rhona Lace Fit and Flare Dress - Again the fit and cut on this one was perfect.  Seeing this in the box, I had my doubts about the fabric.  Once on though, well you can tell from the picture.   Once again stitchfix hit perfection when I told them I needed a dress for Phanton of the Opera.

4.  Leigh Drape Back Tank - Fit was perfect again.  Comfortable flowing fabric.   The draping on the back is perfect.  Color perfectly summery.

5. Saige Cropped Linen Pant - A little baggie yet super comfortable.  Fit was little bit, but with the cotten content I am sure they will shrink a little. Plus they made the bootie look amazeballs.  Hello, that is the point of pants right. 

And last but very not the least...what did I keep.  All of it.  Say What? Yeppers. Plus there are plans for each piece already.
#1 - Think this will be worn on a day out with my littles to the zoo.
 #2 - Will be going to another individual that loved it more then I. Cut was just off for me.
#3 -   Phantom of the Opera with my Mommie
#4 - Found an adorable headband with the colors in the shirt and totally plan on wearing it to work one day.
#5 - I have been wearing the heck out of those pants in the last week.   Comfortable to the max.  They have already accompanied me on the boat and been the perfect item to toss on after swim lessons with the littles.

One of the major differences in this round was that I adjusted my sizes online.  No more looking like I am drowning in the stuff.   To get the perfect fix, adjust sizes and notes accordingly/often.

Mother Daughter Match up

Inspired by Alison over at Get your Pretty On today we will be having a little I Feel Pretty Mother Daughter match up.  Seeing how much Alison and her daughter enjoyed doing it together I couldn't resist seeing if my steppie would be game, after all what girl doesn't want to play dress up and take pictures.  Since you are reading this post, you clearly could see she was in.   Here is our first (step) mother/daughter pretty post.

Since we both clearly love the military style jacket, which was not the challenge, let's take a look at a couple pics on how we wear that.

 

Now the real challenge should you accept it is....the very spring light blue striped button up. 

Steppie paired it with some distressed rolled up jeans and cute crochet ballerina flats.

 

I paired it with rolled up skinny jeans and my latest love, rocket dog penny waxy weave sneakers.  As you can see great stylish minds think alike.

 

Now what fun is a mini photo shoot without some outtakes.  Seriously people this whole being brave and playing model/photographer thing is darn hard work.  Might as well have some fun along the way.

The pictures in the military jackets came from us just going on a mini-hike at the park while we were there.

 

We had such a fun day.  I am hoping that we will be able to bring this to you on a regular basis. Please let me know if you have any ideas for next month?

 

 

 

I Feel Pretty - Stitch Fix #6

I feel pretty, oh so pretty.   Time again for another Stitch Fix.  I love stitch fix. Interested, more details below on how to get some of this awesomeness in your life.  It is so much fun.   This fix couldn't have come at a better time either.  Let's just get on with it and see shall we...

1. Roxanna Chevron Open Knit Cardigan

The cut and overall fit on this sweater was wonderful.  Not very sure on the print though.  Almost felt like is was a direct arrow to my bootie.

2. Gracelyn Back Twist Knit Top and 3. Kensie Sophia Distressed Jean

Loved the color of the shirt.  There is absolutely nothing in this color in my drawer.  Said to say with the cut when I turned to the side I looked a little prego (not the spaghetti sauce either).   The jeans.  Material was gloriously comfy and the wash beautiful.  They were a little to big and long, so I was feeling like I was constantly pulling my pants up.

4. Jayla Front Twist Sweater

This sweater had spring written all over it.  I paired it with an aqua cami underneath.  The color was beautiful coral and the material super soft.  Then later I also put the next item with it.

 

5. Holly Chevron Arrow Print Infinity Scarf

 

 

 

Honestly when I saw the pattern in the box I was kind of like, "oh goodness, that could be a crazy shirt".  When opening my box I have vowed not to read the cards or the letter until after I look at whats in the box.  The minute I pulled it out and reazlied it was a scarf.  I was in love.  Pattern is crazy awesome.  Bonus is that I will be able to transition this thru the seasons.  Completely plan on wearing it this week, so keep an eye out.

 

And of course, there is the famous what did I keep question.  This one was a tough one.  Almost ended up with all 5.  Even the hubbie said, "you are going to keep the whole box?"  Note the key word there was "almost".  My little dilema: Loved two of the items. Was on the fence on a third item.  Well if I kept the third then I might as well go for the whole box.  Then I recalled on the third item that I would only buy if it was a perfect fit.  It happened to be the jeans.

 

Which did I keep....4. Jayla twist sweater and 5. Holly Chevron Arrow Print Scarf. 

Absolutely love both of them.

Now as promised, here are more details on how you can get in on the action.

The Pretty Post - Stitch Fix 5

Whoot let's here it for time to get my fix on. Awesome fun clothes delivered right to my door handpicked by a stylist, now who could pass that up.

Now onto the January fix.   This time around I didn't ask for anything in particular.  Wanted to see what would happened with a full out open door.  Dress me please.

1. 41Hawthorn Corinna Striped Dolman top - Amazingly soft fabric super comfy.

2. 41Hawthorn Violet pointe Pencil Skirt - Material was nice, length was perfect.  It was a greenish color.   The fit though on me was slightly off.

3. 209 West Felder Zipper Detail Ponte Dress - Loved the material and shape of the dress.  Now the interesting zipper in the front, not so much.  See where that zipper ends. On me it was like an awkward protrusion of an extra nipple.  Otherwise that dress and fit was delicious.

4.Under Skies Pamplona Abstract Florral Tab-Sleeve Blouse - Print and pattern was unique.  I have nothing like this in my closet.  If the fit would have better a little better.

 

5. Sweet Rain Alan Cowl Neck Asymetrical Jacket - Again super soft fabric.  After looking at it on the hanger was a little concerned about how it would fit on.  Zipper is a little hard to zip up due to the flowage of the jacket.  Otherwise amazingly comfy.

 

Now which one(s) did I pick.  Guesses?   Tra la la

 

 

The Sweet Rain Alan Cowl Jacket.   Thought this one would be perfect for my upcoming trip.  Then I just could not resist the comfort of the Corinna Striped Dolman Top.  It will be perfect for an upcoming family outing we have on schedule. Plus I own nothing like either of these items.

 

Told the hubbie this is the first time I have gotten two items and not taken a single thing out of my wardrobe.  Welcome new additions. Comfy Cozy and Stylish.  Now onto waiting for my next fix.

 

Stay beautiful
