Fashion Friday: Second Stitchfix

I know that fashion can be weird and I am probably a little too practical for some of the fashion trends. I also know that I am no longer 20 years old. So sometimes I struggle with wearing things that are meant for ladies much younger than I.  Apparently stichfix is also wrestling with finding the correct balance between youthful and *ahem*....teen.
I am so unsure about this second fix. I didn't LOVE anything in this box and I know I am supposed to be taking risks but I also want to look good and be comfortable. If that makes any sense?

Basically, I don't want my fashion risks to be horribly fitted or so youthful that it looks like I am trying to be something I am not. There is a difference between taking tiny risks and jumping head first right?

Second time around I asked for more dresses and I got them so I know stitchfix is paying attention but I am still very unsure. So here is what I got in my second stitch fix!
Little disclaimer: my reviews are not intended to be mean. I LOVE this company and am having a lot of fun getting my "fixes." I really appreciate how hard they are trying because my body type is not an easy one to dress. I really appreciate that every single thing that has arrived has fit. If I were to go to the mall, the sizes fluctuate so much that sometimes my sizes fit and sometimes I cannot squeeze them over my bust. Thank you for the solid effort stitchfix.com I really appreciate all that you guys do!
Now on to my fix:

First..JEWELRY! I asked for no jewelry (I make the stuff myself) but I know stitchfix is trying to push me to try new things. They must have interpreted my "please no jewelry" as "I don't wear it" so they sent me a simple chain bracelet. It is pretty but again, I could make it for a fraction of the price. I checked out the designer Rachel Eva's web site and her stuff is simple and cool. So, thank you stitchfix.com I will defiantly be keeping my eye on this designer.

Then there was this little number....there are no words except mustard, satin, and sack. Good idea, poor execution.

Next, a dress from Aryn K. The fit wasn't terrible AND it had pockets but it was a little short and the back was crocheted! I am really hesitant about open backs because I hate showing my bra.

All of a sudden I noticed the front panel on this dress had snaps. You can open this dress up to reveal...nothing? It was amusing and I couldn't figure out what these "flaps" were for...drying my "lack of fashion" tears perhaps?

Then another dress, this time by designer Charlie Jade (website is pretty cool). I would never pick this color off the rack but I love it! This one was bright and airy (100% silk) with pockets too! Since it was silk it came out of the box very wrinkled.

I decided to play around with this one so I added my own belt. I really like the detailing at the collar but it is pretty short. I think I will have to think about this one (its a bit expensive) but more age appropriate.

The Grand Finale was a cardigan that looked like something straight out of the 1920s. Designed by an Australian company called Ladakh I was impressed by the quality although puzzled on exactly how or when I would wear this.

 

The black lace is sexy and this may look great with a black dress? Or black pants? Maybe paired with a long cigarette holder and some moonshine? Is this shirt speakeasy appropriate? I joke but this top is pretty neat. I am unsure about this as well but it is so different...

 

Well, this second stitchfix may have been less than perfect but it was still so, so, so much fun! Thanks again stitchfix! Are there any pieces that you really like? Any suggestions on what I should keep? Thanks for looking. Love, Ms. Kate
