I ordered a Stitch Fix <\/a>*\u00a0about a month ago to celebrate another 5 pounds of weight loss. Why has it taken a month to get my fix? They’ve apparently gotten crazy popular and there was a wait. I just spent way too much money on a sewing machine (that’s a post for another day), so I’m not really supposed to be buying clothes right now. But my Stitch Fix box was a pleasant little surprise when I got home today. And, because my stylist did such a good job, I’m going to be naughty and keep some of it.<\/p>\n

What is a Stitch Fix? It’s a service where you fill out a style profile, give them links to stuff like your pinterest account, and let them know what kind of clothes you’re interested in purchasing. You also tell them price ranges for what you’re willing to spend, and what kinds of clothes you’re looking for. A “stylist” puts together five items of clothing and you get a pretty box in the mail, along with a nice little note and some suggestions about how to style everything. You have 3 business days to decide what you want to keep. There is a $20 styling fee for getting a fix, but if you buy any of the clothes it will go towards your purchase.<\/p>\n

I have until Saturday to decide what I want to keep and what I want to send back. I will tell you what I’m leaning towards, but I’m not going to tell you prices. I want to know what you think of everything on\u00a0its own merits. I will<\/em> tell you that the most expensive item was $88. So, we’re not talking crazy amounts of money here. But, definitely enough money that I am not going to keep everything.<\/p>\n

My fix contained two shirts, a pair of skinny jeans, and two dresses.<\/p>\n

What do you guys think? Besides, “OMG Hope, you need to clean your mirror. And make some new curtains. Hey, wait a minute, I thought you bought a sewing machine. Shouldn’t\u00a0you use that to make new curtains…?” Because all of that goes without saying.<\/p>\n

(I asked my stylist for some stuff that I can wear on the weekend and not look like a soccer mom.)<\/p>\n

I am ambivalent about this top. It looks good in the pictures, but I think it might be a little too billowy in person? I like the darts below the buttons a lot. This is definitely a good shirt to wear if I’m feeling bloated. The jeans I will likely keep. They’re really comfortable, Kristian liked them, and I haven’t bought a single pair of non-maternity jeans in probably\u00a0three\u00a0years.<\/p>\n

This top would likely have been a keeper, but it’s too big. It’s supposed to be kinda billowy like the other top (I’m pretty sure this is what happens when your Stitch Fix notes mention that you are still losing postpartum weight). But it’s also a size too big. Too bad, because the back is pretty cool.<\/p>\n

This is my “sexy-librarian-awkward-armed-selfie” face. In case you were wondering.<\/p>\n

This one I think I am also keeping. It looks better in person. Although I think I need a different bra for it. I like that I can dress it up for work if I want to, or dress it down for the weekend. Or make it look non-work dressy and wear to some sort of non-work special occasion. Because I go to non-work special occasions? Well, I could wear it when I take Lilian to Target and I want to feel all fancy.<\/p>\n

I texted a picture of this one to my sister… and she was not a fan. I think because it’s not so flattering when you take a picture of it head on.<\/p>\n

\"Untitled\"<\/a><\/p>\n

But from the side? Va-va-va-voom! This one is also crazy soft. I am very torn about this one.<\/p>\n

\"Untitled\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What do you guys think? I’m leaning towards the jeans, the navy blue dress, and maybe the orange shirt. I get a 25% discount if I purchase all 5 items, but I am not going to buy all<\/em> of them. At the very least, that 2nd shirt is too big. Of course, if you get 4 items, you might as well get the 5th, because it’s basically free at that point. So, I should probably just stick to 2-3 things from this fix.<\/p>\n
