StitchFix No 5. June 2016

Hi! It's been quite a while since I ordered a box from Stitchfix! I had a $25 credit and an offer to try a box for free since it had been so long. I thought I'd give it a try to help find myself something special to wear for my hubby's graduation from Police Academy Friday!  Since my last fix I've unfortunately gained a bit of weight so I wasn't sure how it was going to go. I was pleasant surprised as always but I'm not sure if I'm going to keep anything! I have to decide by Thursday! yikes! choices! So let see!

If you want to watch the video reveal you can see that here or else scroll down to see the pics!

 OH my goodness it was hot outside. Since the move I haven't really worked out a perfect spot for pics. My new backyard is bigger but not really shady anywhere! So it took me a while to get these done and yes, I use a selfie stick because well my kids don't take good pictures LOL! Enjoy!

Item #1 - Gilli - Jessie Knit Maxi Dress -$74

First off I love the Navy Blue! It's a super comfy maxi dress but.....it's thin and hugs some of my problem areas a little more than I'd like. It's a lovely dress. I just don't LOVE it

Verdict: Sending Back

Item #2- Brixon Ivy - Willard Lace Overlay Blouse - $54

I was excited to see this in my box. I specifically pinned it! It fits and looks great! I love the lace. I love the bright cobalt color. I'm on the fence about this shirt! 

Verdict: Sadly....Sent Back

Item #3: Papermoon - Liroy Button Placket Knit Top - $44

The colors and style of the shirt are cute. I liked the pop of color but yellow isn't usually a favorite for me and neither are stripes. The shirt was comfy but body hugging so it wasn't really doing me any favors. 

Verdict : Sending Back

Item #4: Skies are Blue- Klide Woven Back Knit Top - $48

Love the color and the fun print on the back. Something about the shirt just didn't lay right on me. Just not a good cut for me. The front of the shirt is stretchy but not along the seems so it doesn't have give around my hips even though it's split on the sides. The back isn't stretchy material and I kind wish it had that longer in the back cut. 

Verdict : Sending Back

 Item #5: 41 Hawthorn - Flynn Colorblock Sleeveless Blouse -$54

I didn't even take a pic of this one on. It's not stretchy at all and I felt like it just wasn't my style. Didn't care for the print or the fabric. It fit but it's very boxy and long. It just wasn't a good fit for me. 

Verdict : Sending Back

So overall! I was happy with what was sent! My stylist always does a great job and she did great with request! I was so happy I've had the same stylist every time! I'll probably try it again around my b-day month in August, but for now! I think it's all getting boxed up this time.

September Stitch Fix No. 4 Review

Yay! I came home today to see a new Stitch Fix box on my porch. It wasn't due to come till Monday so I was excited to see it early. If you don't know what Stitch Fix is feel free to look back on some of the previous posts that explain it a little better. I'll link those at the end. 

Basically its a clothing/accessory service. You get a box with 5 items curated just for you based on a profile, notes to a stylist and your pinterest style board. You can get it a few times a month, monthly, every other month or basically when ever you feel like it. 

Here is a video of the unboxing! 

I wasn't going to get another one for a while but I did get a gift card to Stitch Fix for my b-day and thought why not. Now I'm wishing I'd waited because I can't keep everything and my favorite item is the most expensive of course. We'll start with this. 

My Stylist knows me well enough to know that I always click "the cheaper, the better option", but she noticed I'd pinned a lot of olive & military style jackets. She mentioned in her note that she know it was a little outside my price range and tried to find me some lower priced items for the other choices. 

Item #1 Sanctuary Lara Camo Jacket 

I love this jacket! It fits perfectly and is very flattering. I like that it's camo print but that it's very muted and looks a dusty olive from afar. It cinches at the waist and has some great detailing. I also love the collar. or lack there of.  It isn't the fold over kind so it would be great to add a scarf with too. 

I'm wearing:

*A.N.A. Leggings from JCPenny

*Market & Spruce Pleated top from Stitch Fix no. 2.  

*Boots from ROSS 

Here is a closer picture so you can see the camo print and collar better. Here is the sad part. I have a camo jacket but honestly it's to big since loosing lots of weight but I still love it. I'm having a very hard time justifying the price tag. 

Verdict: Very tempted- RETURNED 

Price $158.00 (yikes)

#2: Brixon Ivy Fierro Elbow Patch Crew Neck Sweater

I like this style sweater but light grey isn't my favorite color choice. I think it washes me out. I love the lacey elbow patches. It's such a fun detail. I like the simplicity of the sweater and that I can pair it with just about anything since it is a neutral and it's part of what I'm trying to add to my closet.   

I paired this with my Orange Crops from JCPenny and my new ankle boots that I purchased at Maurice's a few weeks ago! I can't wait to wear them. It's not quite boot weather. 

Verdict: RETURNED

Price $58.00 

#3 Pixley Matata Faux Suede Pocket Knit Top 

This shirt the colors are amazing! I looooove jewel tones. The suede pocket is a great fun detail. However I don't know if it's flattering. It's a very stretchy soft fabric but I feel it's a little clingy in the wrong places. Something about the pocket placement and seams is bothering me too. It also reminds me of a maternity top I used to have. haha. I loved that shirt but I try not to wear maternity looking clothes. So what do you think? Is that pocket to distracting in the wrong areas? 

I paired these with my Jean like Jeggings (I don't own jeans) I've yet to find a pair I love. Don't judge me. haha. These are also A.N.A. from JC Penny

*I went with my Dark Brown boots - these were given to me. I don't know what they are. 

Verdict: RETURNED

Price: $44.00

#4 41 Hawthorn Rowson Colorblock Stripped Sweater

This is my 2nd favorite. I love Green and Navy together. The sweater fix great. I like the pop of color mixed with stripes. It's not a super thick sweater either. 

I simply paired with with my Jeggings, grey leopard Toms Flats and my 5th item which I'll share a closer image of below. 

Verdict: KEPT

Price : $58.00 

#5 Zad Nigel Cut-Out Curve Bar Necklace

When I 1st pulled it out I wasn't sold on it, but after putting it on I kind liked it. I don't have anything like it and then when I tried it with the sweater I just instantly liked it, but I'm only keeping one item. 

Verdict: RETURNED

Price $28.00 

As usual I love that Stick Fix send a style card. It help when your pairing things with items you own. That is my favorite part of Stitch Fix. I've never had a fit issue which is so interesting. When I go shopping I have to try on lots of items in various sizes in tiny dressing rooms. I like that I can try on all this in my own home. 

So I need help! Seriously! What would you keep? I'm not keeping it all, but as usual if I do it's cheaper to keep it all than to return just one or two items. Should I splurge on that jacket? Maybe I'll sell some items that are just sitting in my closet. I have a dress and shirt I kept in one fix that I just don't reach for. Ack! Choices! This is the hard part. I have a few days to think about it thankfully.

August 2015 Julep Fushia Fizzy Mystery Box Reveal

I've had a lot of unboxing fun this month! I don't normally have this many boxes all at once but it's my b-day month so I may have splurged a little bit! 

I've had a subscription to Julep for a couple years now, but I haven't taken it in about a year. I just haven't cancelled it totally yet. I'm locked into an older plan but it's $19.99 a month and I can skip if I want. I want to say in the newer plans you can't skip every month and it's might be $24.00 but you can mix and match your box. I'm locked into to pre-made styles boxes. If you don't always want nail polish they usually have a beauty box too. My favorite product is actually their Bare Face facial oil! Of course now I wash my face with coconut oil! That stuff is the best for so many reasons. 

The September Box is looking pretty promising and I might just have to take it. Here is a sneak peak. The window opens on the 21st and it looks to be a lot of colors and products I would love. 

We'll just have to wait and see. Anyhoo! 

They do mystery boxes ever month or two and I ended finding a coupon to use so I got it for 50% off.

Here is my youtube unboxing video!

I honestly got a really great mystery box and I love all the products! I haven't tried the nail polish yet but I thought I'd break down the products more now that I've had a few days with them. 

Beach Tonic - $23.00/18.50 for Mavens

Lock Down Your Brows -$ 22.00/16.70 for Mavens

Nail Decals $6.00

Nail Polish $14.00/11 for Mavens

Left to right - Trisha, Jenny, Connie, & Mariska

Total Value $107 or around $85 for Mavens

So for $12.50 I got a great mystery box. 

I love the Beach Tonic! I used it after my shower yesterday. It smells wonderful and moisturizes nicely. It's not to oily and soaks in nicely.

I wasn't sure about the Lock Down your Brows. It's a clear gel that not only helps shape your brows with out a flaky feeling. It's conditions and promotes regrowth. You can wear it in the day and at night for repair. I tried it both day and night. It felt nice and gave a little definition to my brows.

 I would recommend this product. 

The nail colors are perfect shades for me and like I mentioned in the video no doubles for me! I read that Connie is more of a Jelly formula than a Creme. Mariska is Orange with pink shimmer but I read that the shimmer doesn't really show and that it's a bright neon orange. I actually love that it's neon. 

I think I might try it on today with the nail decals. 

I'm kind of obsessed with the color orange lately. Maybe it's fall in the air! 

Anyhoo! Julep has great products and I would highly recommend them to anyone!
