May Stitch Fix {southern Maryland photographer}

My favorite day of the month has come again! My monthly fix arrived and to say that this month was a home run would be an understatement. If you’re new to the notion of Stitch Fix, here’s how it works:
You fill out a pretty quick and easy little questionnaire with sizes, styles, and preferences on costs. You schedule your fix. Then you wait a few weeks and you get a lovely little box in the mail. box
Inside of it is goodness and love and awesomeness. You are charged a $20 styling fee and that goes to the cost of any item you purchase. Try on everything. Keep what you like, send back what doesn’t work within three days. If you keep all five items, you get a 25% off discount. And I don’t know about you, but I sure hate shopping with three boys and trying to find something that looks good on me. This is the perfect “fix” [pardon the pun!] for that! So give it a whirl: Stitch Fix

Your stylist gives you little cards like this:
letter
And on the folding cards are outfit ideas on how to style your new pieces. They make mention to prior pieces as well so you can make outfits from what they know you have!

This gorgeous stack was inside of my box! Ghee, so gorgeous!

SO WITHOUT FURTHER ADO…
Gold Bay to Baubles Cori Chevron Stretch Bracelet
This is the perfect little touch to any outfit, alone or in conjunction with other pieces. I’m wearing it right now. That it has no links and just stretches onto my wrist makes it that much more lovable.
VERDICT: KEPT.

White Daniel Rainn Bilson Pleated Blouse
Yes. Just yes. The pleats are so feminine. Look at the colors!!! Coral and blue and white and YUM. And something that I totally loved about this blouse (as if the look of it wasn’t enough!) — it came with a camisole. When I first pulled it out of the box, I thought it was some heavy thing that was totally inappropriate for MD springs and summers. Nope! The matching camisole was attached inside. For me? HUGE.
VERDICT: KEPT.

Grey Mystree Kiria Mixed Material Tee
I saw some open-back tee shirts on Pinterest [huge way to communicate with your stylist!] and wanted one so bad. This one is great. It’s pretty flouncy and breezy, and was important to me that I could wear a bra underneath, so the opening had to be just low enough. My tattoos are on display in a lovely and ladylike fashion now. 🙂 Isn’t this back just to die for?
VERDICT: KEPT.

Blue Pixley Milagra Ribbon Strap Blouse
I don’t have to mention that the straps are ribbon and amazing. Or point out that the color of this is so wonderfully vibrant while being so daintily ladylike. Because this picture displays fully why it’s so great and why I am in love.
VERDICT: KEPT.

And lastly, but not least:
White Pixley Martina Slub Knit Open Cardigan
When something uses the phrase “slub knit” in clothing, that becomes for me, apparently, an instant magnetic love attraction that I can’t break. This cardigan has POCKETS. I repeat: POCKETS. Somewhere to store keys and lip balm and cell phone [since that bugger doesn’t fit into my pants pocket any more] for when I’m running around chasing boys or watching lacrosse/football games. This is so perfect for cool mornings and evenings on just about anything. Matches just about anything and everything, can be dressed up or down, and instantly I’m in love.
VERDICT: KEPT.
