Can we just talk for a minute about how much I love having things mailed directly to me? Yes, let's. Take for instance, Christmas 2017. I would say 90% of our holiday shopping this year was done on Amazon and 100% of it was done online. Granted, that might just have been because there was no way I was lugging a two-week-old out in the worst cold and flu season we've seen in awhile, but regardless, the fact that we were still able to get all of our shopping done was incredible.
And THAT is why services like Stitch Fix make me so, so, so darn happy.
If you don't know about Stitch Fix (<--Referral link!), let me give you a little rundown. Stitch Fix is a clothing subscription service, and you decide how frequently, or infrequently, you'd like a shipment. You'll fill out a detailed style profile about your sizes, style preferences, and budget (and it's super fun to fill out the profile to see what your style preferences are!). Not only does Stitch Fix offer clothing, but they have accessories, bags, and even shoes now! They style both men and women, and they offer extended sizes. You pay a $20 styling fee that gets applied to your purchase, but right now, if you sign up for your first /fix through my link, your first styling fee is waived. Zero risk! And, if someone signs up through your referral link, you get a $25 credit to use toward your next purchase! (And let me tell you, that adds up to some awesome free close!) The BEST part of Stitch Fix? It comes directly to my door which means I can try it on in the comfort of my own home, pair it with things already in my wardrobe, and not have to take my brood into a dressing room with me. So much winning!

So for this Fix, I asked to get nursing friendly tops that would make me feel less frumpy. I also mentioned my upcoming trip to Cabo, so Serena snagged some items that might work there too. And, she pointed out that it’s been two years since she started styling me - and what a beautiful two years it has been! There were a few hits and a few misses, so I need your help deciding what to keep!
Let's just start with the misses and get them out of the way, shall we?
1. Coin 1804 Halem Cold Shoulder Collared Knit Top, $542. Studio Blue Freya Skinny Jean, $58
As soon as I saw this top in my Fix, I thought, this will either be a great success or an epic failure. This one... failure! I love the idea in theory - buttons for easy nursing access, cold shoulder trend that I keep trying to pull off, light heathered grey color. But it just looks frumpy and weird. It feels like a pajama shirt, but the collar makes it kind of formal? And the sleeves are a weird length. So, back in the box this went.
And let this serve as a reminder that when you've had a baby, you NEED to go in and update your pants size. Or, at least say, don't send me pants! With about fifteen pounds of baby weight to go, these babies didn't even come CLOSE to buttoning. I'm talking, like, it was a struggle to put them on. Oy. The light purple color was so pretty, but I'm just not in a position to wear them right now. Literally.
Now let's move on to actual contenders!
3. Kaileigh Cecile Knit Dress, $54
I love floral pattern of this little number, and I love the cut! But as an XS, it's a little snug fitting on the girls! I was hoping I might be able to exchange it for a S, but it's out of stock. I think in six months, this will fit perfectly, but it's just a wee bit too tight to wear right now. It's actually a gorgeous navy color (sorry for the awful lighting - these pictures tend to get taken at 10 p.m. right now since that's when we have free hands!), and the neckline is beautiful. But I think I'd rather keep something I can wear now!
4. Renee C Vause Off the Shoulder Top, $48
The colors on this top, y'all! Seriously gorgeous jewel tones! I love the length of this top, and I think it's perfect with leggings now and shorts when the temperatures heat back up. And, it would be a PERFECT top to wear in Cabo! I would love other opinions though!
5. Bobeau Kirbee Button Detail Open Cardigan, $58
Now THIS piece I LOVE! This cardigan is perfect for nursing (just one button to release at the top!), and it's so, so soft! It's got pockets (yay!), and would look great with leggings, skinny jeans, sweat pants... maybe not sweat pants. But my point is this is the piece that probably works best in my current mom life. And it makes me feel fashionable again!
So what to we think, friends? What's getting kept? What's going back? Help a sister out!
