June Stitch Fix Reveal

Let me start out by saying I am the worst at surprises! I always need to investigate everything, and I can’t ever be surprised. What I find myself doing once the “Your fix is on its way” email hits my mailbox, is signing into Stitch Fix and clicking the “already received your fix – check out” link. I’m horrible, I know, but I just get overly excited. Once that link loads the information about the items on their way to my doorstep is at my fingertips. From here I do a typical search of the item name/description in yahoo, google, and pinterest. Normally I can easily find 3 out of 5 of the items no problem. I am always interested in what an item looks like on other people, as well as what they paired it with. I still am sometimes surprised by the item I receive because it may not be the same color as the items the search came up with. For example in my search for the BRIXON IVY Jarred Lace Detail Cap-Sleeve Blouse, the results show mainly a very beautiful blue colored top, as well as a pink, peach, and black. I received it in black, when I thought I’d be receiving blue. Ironically I have so much black in my closet, and I contemplate the black will get more wear than had I received it in blue.

Before we dive into my fix, for those of you who are unfamiliar with Stitch Fix, let me spin you up. You can sign up here, and when you do please leave me comments on how it’s worked out for you! You’re going to love it, I know I have.

1. Sign up and get started with the Style Quiz – This will create a profile of your style, likes, dislike, body shape & sizing, so that your personal stylist can get a feel for you. There’s also a notes section to let your stylist know about personal likes and dislikes, and a section to add your pinterest board link. I highly recommend this, sometimes your stylist can get you an exact piece you pin, or an article of clothing extremely similar to something you love.
2. You’ll pay a $20 Styling Fee when ordering your first Fix, which will be credited towards any or all items you purchase in your fix. Stitch Fix carries an assortment of clothing, tops, dresses, pants, jewelry, handbags and even shoes! Your Fixes will arrive as frequent or as infrequent as you desire. Five personalized pieces are delivered right to your door, and that’s when the fun begins!
3. Keep what you love and send back what you don’t want within 3 days, in the postage paid supplied envelope. You’ll only pay for what you keep! You’ll get 25% off your total purchase if you decide you love it all! Then I’d recommend you leave feedback on the experience, because it’ll make your next Fix that much better!

When I first unwrapped my Stitch Fix this month I started reading my stylists note. I had mixed emotions when I realized my stylist this month was not Michelle, whom I’ve had from the start, but Natalie. I was hesitant to look at the goodies, wondering if she was up to date on my “style”. Pleasantly surprised after laying out my arrivals, and seeing the different patterns and fabrics I snapped a quick photo, and excitedly initiated the try on phase.

Loveappella Shelli Split Back Knit Tank Front

Loveappella Shelli Split Back Knit Tank Back

Loveappella - Shelli Split Back Knit Tank, Small (Verdict – KEPT) $48.00

Could this Shelli Split Back Knit Tank be any softer? It’s adorable for sure, and not something I think I would have picked off the rack. It’s one of those comfort, but cute tops I think I could wear to any and everything. I really like the back detail and how it splits. It doesn’t split too much that it’s overly showy, I still don’t think I’d wear it without a tank underneath, but hey maybe over a bathing suit I’ll give it a go.

Skies are Blue Protego Crochet Back Top Front

Skies are Blue - Protego Crochet Back Top, Small (Verdict – KEPT) $48.00

Second up was Protego Crochet Back Top designed by Skies are Blue. ADORABLE, adorable, adorable. I really like this top, the fabric is a bit on the stiff side, but being mainly white it’s not see through, (it also is lightly lined). The arrow black and red pattern is very hip right now, making me feel “in style”. I also have a lip color that coordinates with the red accent very well. Can we all take a moment to examine the back of this top, it’s awesome. I say this because it’s just so cute when it comes to the detail, and yet I can still wear a strapless bra, and it not show! I do feel like the straps around the neck are a bit loose, if I take them in about a quarter of an inch the top might fit me perfectly! I’ve already worn this one to work with black pants and a cute ¾ sleeve jean jacket.

Daniel Rainn Celina Split Neck Blouse

Daniel Rainn - Celina Split Neck Blouse, Small (Verdict – KEPT) $64.00

Work appropriate was the first thing that came to my mind when I tried on the Celina Split Neck Blouse. Again steep on the price end, but with the work to play transitional aspect and the 25% off discount I decided to keep this one as well. I’m not a very floral girl, but I think this piece will look extremely cute with white bottoms, and now that I’m thinking about it I might be able to pair it with my pale pink capris for work! This Daniel Rainn blouse feels loose and flowy when worn, but doesn’t look too big when I see myself in a photo wearing it.

BRIXON IVY Jarred Lace Detail Cap-Sleeve Blouse

BRIXON IVY - Jarred Lace Detail Cap-Sleeve Blouse, Small (Verdict – KEPT) $68.00

I’m in love with this Brixon Ivy Jarred Lace Detail Cap-Sleeve Blouse. The lace detail is gorgeous, and I can easily dress this blouse up or down. I’m sure this one will get worn out, but I can’t help but wonder if a brighter color would have shown the lace details more. A bit on the pricey end, but with the 25% discount I’ll give it a go, since this is an easy transition from work to play piece.

BRIXON IVY Canelo Embroidery Detail Blouse

BRIXON IVY - Canelo Embroidery Detail Blouse, Small (Verdict – KEPT) $58.00

The Canelo Embroidery Detail Blouse in a light pink I actually pinned. I thought it was adorable, and it was the first top out of the box I wore. The very next day after getting my fix the tag was pulled on this baby. I’ve had compliments on it already to, stating how people like the detail on this blouse. Brixon Ivy must be doing something right! This is such a simple sleeveless blouse, but the embroidery detail adds just enough umphh to it, that makes me feel girly and cute.
