Round 3.... of trying Stitchfix!

The mail man has been good to me this week. He finally delivered a bracelet set I ordered as gifts for Mothers Day. Mothers Day. And he brought my third Stitchfix collection!

Remember the awkwardness in my first two shipments? I was blown away by all of your reactions. It's pretty awesome to get your feedback and support, definitely helped me feel better about giving Stitchfix another try.

And it seems, third time's a charm.
I was worried they'd strike out but no. They totally scored.
I fell in love with one particular piece. See if you can guess which one....


I LOVE the peter pan collar tank. So that's what we'll start with. I know this is a stylish look yet I've walked past dozens of these tops. But why? I'm convinced I need one in my wardrobe pronto. Just not one with a $61 price tag.

Next LOVE, the striped dress. It's just a staple piece. I should totally have this in my closet, it's not too clingy and not too short or "old". It's seriously perfect for my age and activity when with the family. And if paired with a jean jacket and knee boots like the style card suggested, I'd be looking good for a cool dinner date.

Cutout styles... I think they're adorable and way fun but still not totally sold on this for myself. The orange color of this tank is awesome. As much as I love yellow (here, here, and here)(!) I think orange is a much needed color in my closet.

The black pants would cost me an arm and leg so back they went but they were superior quality and tailored just right, I wanted them to keep some kind of bad! I like black on black outfits just not in the heat of summer, so really these pieces should be broken up but one girl, one half hour, one timer on one camera...

You get it, I'm sure. The sheer black, graphic blouse is perfect for interviews but definitely not an interview for my new found dream job. It's the high/low style that I've tried making out of straight hem shirts, ha! Really happy designers are making this easy and more flattering than any of my front tucks ever could!

I still feel a little "awkward turtle" about the whole thing but this time around, Stitchfix did what I was hoping for from the beginning. They sent me pieces that are appropriate for me and stylish. Overall, they've pushed me a bit and opened me up to purchases I would have hung back on the rack. And, the style cards are very helpful in letting me see other ways to style pieces than just the obvious. I'm going for one more round, and that'll be it. We're homeless for the month of July and I haven't a clue what Colorado will bring in August!

Wish me luck in finding a peter pan collar tank like this one!

  3. I think I saw one similar to that in Forever 21 this past weekend! I had the black and white graphic shirt sent to me as well! I loved it but the price point killed me!

    So glad these all worked out for you this time!

  9. I absolutely feel caught between age groups. I'm small -- a size 0 -- so I generally have to shop in the junior's department if I want to buy anything I can actually afford..... and we all know that juniors apparel isn't always suitable for us 30-somethings. It has been especially hard for me to find work apparel that doesn't cost an arm and a leg... all the dresses I own are just slightly too short (can't be more than an inch or two above the knee), so sigh. Love that orange shirt, though... and the mint one looks awesome on you!!

  10. Those are very cute tops! Also did you get a new blog design.I love it!

  11. Oh, I'm glad I found your blog post! I've been itching to try Stitch Fix, but was unsure. I might have to give it a go now!

  12. as soon as I saw all the outfits, I went straight for the mint shirt! It's so cute and trendy! I agree, it's expensive though!

    I CAN totally relate on being stuck between younger and older looking styles. I have no idea how old you are but I am totally starting to feel like I "should" be wearing older looking styles. I feel obligated to buy older looking so I look more professional at work (especially since I look so young) to gain respect. But, I love so many younger styles! But, I guess if that is one of my worst problems, I shouldn't be complaining :)

  14. ohh you got some awesome pieces! Im waiting for my 4th shipment (or maybe 5th) and it gets better each time. It definitely takes some work to really get your style profile down

    I definitely feel stuck between. I'm very petite (5 feet tall with shoes) and on the thinner side at 110 pounds. It's very hard to find things that fit and don't make me look either 12 or 80.

  17. The peter pan collared blouse is perfect - especially in the mint color.

    I can totally relate on being stuck between younger and older styles. I still like a lot of "younger" styles, but my problem is that I look much younger than I am already...so I just end up looking like a highschooler. Ugh. Oh well. Great picks though!

  18. I'm happy you tried again! This shipment was super cute, it's making me want to try stitchfix! I love clothes so much I'm worried I would end up wanting to keep everything and then i would be so poor haha.
    xxoo,

  19. Ha! I guessed it too. And yes, I feel caught between younger and older styles every day of my life. I think there's a way to incorporate both to be completely age appropriate, it just takes the right mix. Stitch Fix did good by you this time!

  20. I was going to say that tank too! Love it! This is the second time I've heard about stitchfix. Gotta look into it!

  21. That mint top is beautiful with the small dots and the collar. However, I wouldn't pay $60 for it either. Hope you can find something similar, try maybe F21?

  24. The mint tank is my favorite too! It is SO cute but I don't blame you for not wanting to shell out 60 bucks. I think you can definitely find a more inexpensive version!
