fashion friday: third stitich fix

Hello all! Just received my third stitch fix! For my new readers: stitchfix.com is an awesome company that sends you clothes based on your style and fashion preferences. You pay $20 and they send you a box of goodies featuring new designers and all the latest trends. You try everything on and then keep what you like and ship (for free) back what you don't want! Oh and that initial $20 goes towards credit on your purchases! That's all there is to it! You can see my other stitch fixes here and here.

Well, I wish I could say that the third time is a charm but that is simply, not the case. This was another mixed bag of things that I "liked" and things that were kind of boring. That being said, I am amazed that the clothes they send me ALWAYS fit! I haven't had to squeeze into anything. Stitchfix does a phenomenal job picking clothes that will fit my body type (with all this boobage going on over here) So lets take a look at my fix:

First there was the gray blazer by THML. It was a simple gray blazer... that is all. Not exciting but it fit well!


Then there was the "scary item" I think that stitchfix purposely puts one item in each box that is totally not my style. Maybe they are hoping that I will venture outside of my comfort zone? Of course, I am keen to trying new fashion but not like this and again PINK!!! UGH! This tank was by Jaloux (couldn't find a website) and was super duper soft but the color and "back flap" were not going to fly. Get it? "fly"? as in this tank had a cape!


Next was the oh so trendy sheer blouse by Olive and Oak. I loved this shirt and I really wanted to keep it but it was black and the point of stitchfix for me is to take risks and add color! The last thing I need is another black shirt.  It was really pretty but I thought it was a little expensive for the simplicity and the quality.


Then onto a silk dress by designer Charlie Jade that I liked but would never wear. Seriously, I really can't wear strapless. This one reminded me of a dress you would wear to a poolside mixer circa 1972.


And finally a collard dress by Many Belles Down. I loved this dress! Loved it! It was soft and comfy and had a sexy black collar AND pockets! Plus the pattern was neat-o!


But wait what is that??


Yes! Gasp! A HOLE!!!


I have had terrific luck with stitchfix.com and was so surprised to find a hole! When I emailed them they were super helpful and more than willing to help me out with my little problem. I am sure that things like this are bound to happen but I was sad. Although in this picture I look pretty pissed. I was more disappointed then angry. How can you be angry with a company that is so helpful and accommodating?? Thanks stitchfix! You have once again made my fashion adventure fun! With every box I receive, I learn a bit more about what I like and what is comfortable. It is so nice to get a box of clothes that will flatter my body type. I am saving so many hours by not going to the mall and suffering (under florescent lighting) in a dressing room. Oh my god! I can remember so many afternoons in a dressing room scratching my head and getting discouraged because an item doesn't fit well. This is so much fun and way better! Tiny hole aside, this company is awesome! Have you tried it yet? What do you think? Should I keep any of these items? I do really like the dress...
Thanks for looking. Love, Ms. Kate
