July Stitch Fix Reveal

This month’s Stitch Fix shipped while I was away on vacation, so obviously I had to peak at what was in transit! As usual I only found about 2 items during my online investigation, and I was so-so about them. I have to also say I was extremely upset to see a pair of jeans were in route. It is 85 degrees in New Jersey, where the heck am I going to be sporting Bootcut jeans to!? Alas, this is my own mistake, I had “no bottoms” to be sent, however I removed that last month when I requested shorts; clearly I didn’t reapply the “no bottom” rule to my profile. This put me in a grump mood, because basically right off the bat I figure I’ve lost my keep all 5 items discount. The horror!! Enough of the back story, let us dive in.

As always, 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!

The wonderful Stitch Fix delivery alert arrived as I was laying around on the beach enjoy vacation, and my husband was finishing up working back at home. I kindly asked him if he would bring my package down with him, and he obliged. I was feeling the colors after the initial unwrapping of tissue paper, and after reading my stylists note I was happy to see the return of Michele. Finally, there’s the try on!
Skies are Blue Estela Cut Out Detail Blouse - Front
Skies are Blue Estela Cut Out Detail Blouse- Back
Skies are Blue – Estela Cut Out Detail Blouse, Small (Verdict – KEPT) $54.00
Loving the print and the colors on this top. The cute little cut out on the back is adorable too. All these tops I’ve been getting have these great detailed backs, but with my medium to long hair length I’m in need of some cute easy summer hairstyles to show these backs off. If you have any PLEASE feel free to comment them to me, or send me a pin @kgadus on pinterest!
Papermoon Benette Multi Strap Blouse - Front

Papermoon Benette Multi Strap Blouse - Back
Papermoon – Benette Multi Strap Blouse, Small (Verdict – KEPT) $44.00
This was a pinned top, don’t you just LOVE when you get exactly what you asked for! That makes me the happiest! Adorable, can’t go wrong with a classic black & white polka dot top. Again, the cutest strappy back details. LOVE LOVE LOVE, can’t wait to rock it out! Length on this is perfect. I had to laugh though, because the tag looked really beat up, so I’m guessing someone sent this number back. Who in their right mind would do such a thing?!
Kut From The Kloth Simmons Bootcut Jean

Kut From The Kloth Simmons Bootcut Jean
Kut From The Kloth – Simmons Bootcut Jean, 4 (Verdict – RETURNED) $88.00
UGHhh, with the Jeans in July Stitch Fix! I will say these jeans are ridiculously soft, which would be awesome if they fit. The size 4 fit well, but was not long enough. If I am to wear a boot or any type of heel with my jeans I prefer them to be close to touching the floor, these are nowhere near that. I do have “Long” on my style profile, so I’m really surprised I wouldn’t have been sent long lengths. This makes me feel like maybe the style profile isn’t read over again for each fix. I’m up in the air with these jeans, I could return them, or I could keep them because they’d make my total an extra $15 after the discount, and then I can attempt to sell them on ebay or something. As long as I make $15 on them I’d have broken even, but if I can squeeze out a bit more, then I’m ahead. Can you tell I’m a bit upset over this piece? $88 is too steep for these jeans in my opinion anyway. They're up on Ebay if anyone is interested!! They didn't sell, so they got returned!
Renee C Reyna Knit Maxi Dress
Renee C – Reyna Knit Maxi Dress, Small (Verdict – KEPT) $78.00
Once I pulled this maxi out of the pile I loved it, the style, the colors, the pattern!! I put it on and couldn’t be happier. This again is most likely not a dress I’d pick up in stores, which always makes me more thrilled to receive pieces such as this! To add to my excitement was the pattern, because on my initial pinterst search for this dress I came across it in an almost floral kaleidoscope pattern that reminded me of butterflies. I was not feeling that pattern or the pink, purple, blue, and yellow colors involved in it. I’m beyond thrilled to have received the pattern and colors I received. Thanks Michele!
Bay to Baubles Julianne Crystal Pendant Necklace
Bay to Baubles – Julianne Crystal Pendant Necklace, (Verdict – KEPT) $28.00
I’m not a typical purchaser of the “Statement Necklaces,” don’t get me wrong I love how they look. I just tend to never find any or they’re in the $50 price range. I’m happy with this one, I like the larger crystal look. The only thing I found odd about this necklace was that there’s a free floating ring at the clasp, which is going to fall right out when I open the clasp to wear the necklace.
Overall I’m satisfied with this fix, what’s your thoughts? I’d love to hear, so comment away!
