Oh my word, guys, this Stitch Fix might be my most favorite to date! How is that possible?! But wait! I'm getting ahead of myself! Let's talk about the past few weeks, shall we?! 

It has been a whirlwind of a month, and I don't know how we're sitting here at almost the end of May! We've started our Summer of the Home focus, and we've been doing a LOT of yard work. Okay... my husband has been doing most of the yard work, and I've been doing a lot of standing around idly not-so-secretly hoping there's nothing I can help with. But I digress. 

We've cleaned up our guest room (guests welcome!), and we've started to tackle our storage area. So, as the month went on, I felt like it was time for a little treat! 

Enter Stitch Fix. 

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!). 

Then, you decide when you'd like to receive a shipment! Stitch Fix will send you five clothing items or accessories to try on in your own home (they have SHOES now!!!)! This is perfect for seeing if the pieces you receive will work with the pieces you already have. Your Fix also arrives with detailed styling cards to give you ideas of how to wear each item. Each Fix costs $20, but the fee is credited toward anything you decide to keep. When you've decided what you don't want, you simply check out online and mail the items back in the prepaid mailing envelope. If you keep everything, you score a 25% discount! I love that I can work with my current wardrobe to see what will work best with what I already have. 

And, if someone signs up through your referral link, you get a $25 credit to use toward your next purchase!

This Fix was once again styled by my main girl, Serena. She just... gets me. Her note this time said she wanted to help push me just slightly outside my comfort zone, and so she chose the pieces according to that. I'll admit, at first, I was mildly concerned about that. But then I saw her selections, and, oh my heart, they were wonderful! Let's get to it! (And, side note, sometimes your photos are taken quickly... like really quickly with a camera and timer function stacked up on two upside down laundry baskets...)

1. FFC New York Brooke Two-Tone Flats, $39

2. Unpublished Jordanna Pleated Aline Skirt, $58

3. Loveappella Stazi Lace Shoulder Knit Top, $48

Ever since becoming a momma, ballet flats are my go to! They're so easy to throw on but they give a polished look (so, you know, it looks like I tried that day!)! I was THRILLED to see I'd gotten a pair of shoes this time around, and I put them on first. And they're ADORABLE! I love the two-tone look, and the pop of coral is so on trend for summer! My one caveat - they're just a wee bit snug, but I'm also sort of wondering if I could stretch them out a bit over time! 

My first thought upon taking this skirt out of the box was, "It's white. And I have a little boy." While I normally would have gravitated toward this in the past, all I could think of was that sweet little peanut butter and grape jelly face flying toward me for a big leg hug! But, I decided to set my penchant for all things dark colored aside and give it a whirl! Serena suggested I pair it with the Stazi Lace Shoulder Knit Top, and although I wasn't sure how I felt about a pattern with a pattern, I reminded myself that she hasn't steered me wrong yet! And I actually kind of love the look together! It's casual but chic, cute, and summery. I REALLY love the top, and I've been thinking recently about how I need more cute, casual pieces like this now that I'm not getting dressed for work 5/7's of the week. So this might be a real keeper! 

4. Skies are Blue Bowes Button Down Top, $58

True talk: I might be the only woman on the planet who doesn't own a Chambray shirt. I know what you're thinking. How is that even possible?! And the real truth is, I don't know! So this was exciting to see! BUT, it was even more exciting to FEEL! This is literally the softest piece of clothing I've ever touched. Dare I say... it's softer than LuLaRoe leggings! It's SO darn comfy, and I love that it's slightly longer in the back. The picture seriously does it no justice, because it's pretty darn cute. I feel like this has to happen, right? Mostly because I can't stop feeling it! 

5. Skies are Blue Mariette Dress, $68

Okay, haaaaaaalp! I really need your opinions on this one, because I honestly don't know what to do here! I want to like this dress, I really do! I think it would be cute for our KEEP Collective convention later this summer, but, I sort of feel like it does nothing for my shape. It just sort of hangs... and maybe not in a good way. So what do you think? Keep it? Send it back? 

Okay, clearly I desperately need your help, so weigh in here (or on Facebook, Facebook friends!)!  

Stitch Fix #16: Dreaming of Napa!

I am super behind in posting my most recent Stitch Fix! So behind, in fact, that I have another on the docket soon, so I HAVE to get this one up first!

For my most recent Fix, I had a new stylist, Serena! I had some specific requests - I received this Fix just before I headed to Napa, California for three days for KEEP's Director's Summit, and I wanted to have some items that would take me from conference room to winery (just in case that happened!)!

1. Kut from the Kloth Rose Bootcut Pant $78
2. Skies are Blue Craige Embellished V-Neck Blouse $54

If I were still teaching, these pants would have been an no brainer, because they are FABULOUS work pants! They were buttery soft and fit so well! But, since me opportunity to wear these beauties wouldn't come around often, I had to pass on them. 

And the top. Eh. I loved the jewel tone blue, and the sleeve length is my preferred length, but it was a little boxy and lacked some fun details. So alas, this went back in the box too! 

3. 41 Hawthorn McQue Solid Lace Sleeve Blouse $48

I kind of loved this shirt on sight, because it has pretty sleeve details but isn't over the top fancy. I can wear it with jeans when I'm out and about with Henry, or I can add statement jewelry and really dress it up for a night out. Shirts like this are my jam, so this was an easy one for me! Kept! 

4. Renee C Roma Printed Skirt $54

This skirt was all kinds of adorable (not with this top, but, just in general!), and it's something I contemplated for awhile. I could wear it to events, but it's too distinct to wear too often, and I wasn't sure I'd get enough use out of it, so, alas, it went back to Stitch Fix too! 

5. 41 Hawthorn Abrianna Longsleeve Knit Cardigan $48

If ever there was an item that came in a Stitch Fix that was me, it was this super lightweight cardigan. I mean, the burgundy! The fact that I could throw it on over anything! The gorgeousness! But it's SO me that I have about a half dozen more of these in various colors in my closet already! So while I loved it, it went back too! 

So, that was my Napa Fix! For my next one, I've asked for casual, fashionable clothing that will transition from playing with Henry to running errands around town to dinners out with girlfriends, so I can't wait to see what they come up with! :D
