It’s that time of month again. No, not that one, the one that is AWESOME!

To get an idea of what this Stitch Fix stuff is, read through the other posts. Really, this one is too good to delay!

Oh, “the stack”. She looks so lovely in her tissue paper. I just want to dive right in.

To start:
In most of the pictures you’ll see me wearing the Zad Evina Spade Fringe Pendant Necklace. I loved it straight out of the box. it’s antique gold and pretty perfectly matches the Zad cuff from a few fixes ago.

Here I’ve paired the Zad necklace with the Crescent Marele Pleat Detail Blouse. I love the fuschia color — I owned nothing fuschia so that was great to see. It’s almost too transparent for my liking, so I went ahead and left the cami I was already wearing on as well as my Kensie skinnies. Love.

I thought it would also look totally cute with the 41Hawthorn Walt Skirt and I’m pretty glad I listened to myself.

So here’s the thing about this skirt. It’s completely adorable and I love it. I love it so much that I have it’s near identical twin already in my closet (two months in a row Holly sent me dupes she didn’t know I own, further proof that she is my styling soul mate!).

(and my eldest is annoying and interrupting and providing no useful feedback or assistance with his finger!)

Totally in love with the top and the necklace. On the fence with the skirt. Keep reading to find out why! 🙂

The 41Hawthorn Roswon Colorblock Striped Sweater is something I’ve seen on other Stitch Fix blogs around the interwebs. And I really wanted it! I am just not sure on this particular color scheme. I’ve seen a handful and this one is my least favorite, so I am on the fence about this one.

Also, this sweater makes me a very deep thinker.

So my favorite piece in the entire box is the Alice Blue Lucio Henley Blouse, dubbed gray by the style card, but it’s clearly a multi-colored beauty. The cut and color are so adorable. It’s 100% opaque, so no option to throw a cami underneath; definite requirement. But the catch is that this weight-training has my arms so super buff that I can’t wear it comfortably. 🙁 I have emailed customer service and so pending a size exchange I will have to sadly send this one back to headquarters. And with it a piece of my fashion heart (which, thanks to Stitch Fix, I didn’t know I had a year + ago!).

<3 I love this top. I hope they have a medium to swap for me! And so the skirt: If I fall in love with the sweater in the next three (or more, pending CS return email) days, then the skirt will cost $7.50 because of the 25% off to keep all five. I can justify twins for $7.50. What do you think? Am I picking the right pieces? How would you style them? (I just realized I never looked at the style cards, holy moly!)

In case you’ve been under a rock for the last few months, I am so in love with Stitch Fix. You can read the full description if necessary, but here’s the short:
Go to Stitch Fix
Answer some personality/style and size questions.
Schedule your shipment.
You get charged $20 when your PERSONAL STYLIST selects five items. It ships. It arrives. You try on and keep what you want ($20 goes to that!) and return what you don’t.
THAT SIMPLE.

So, without further ado:

This goodness arrived today. I was so peeved I couldn’t leave work and come home for a Stitch Fix lunch. But hubby had it inside for me when I got home with my caravan of children. SO PROMISING!

So here we have the Gilli Abriana Textured Pencil Skirt and the Collective Concepts Farma V-Neck Blouse. And I LOVE both of them. The issue with the skirt is that it’s twin, okay maybe more like a sibling or cousin?, is hanging in my closet. I love that one, too. The shirt is AMAZINGLY colorful. But guess what I’m not? That’s right. Petite.
It’s like a crop top. Unfortunately, per the rolls you can see here (children plus my affinity for candy & baked goods) the shirt won’t work for me. So unfortunately both of these have to be returned.

Another super gorgeous combination is the Gilli Jasmine Printed Pencil Skirt and the Papermoon Palo Sheer Inset Blouse. This skirt is TO.DIE.FOR. and is unlike anything in my closet. Easy keeper. Even Thurston exclaimed “Mom, you look beautiful!”. But again, with the shirt, I’m not a petite. So it’s a crop and somehow tight on my chest (which is really all courtesy of Victorias Secret). So I’ll have to send the top back. 🙁

Lastly is the Market & Spruce Alan French Terry Asymmetrical Zip Cardigan. It’s soft and lovely and I thoroughly enjoy the gray color. Gustav was happy to join in on the photo, but unfortunately I don’t like the way this fits me. At all. So sadly I have to send it back.

So this month is the first 1/5 I’ve had in a year! Still quite pleased with the one piece I will be keeping — and I have ideas on what to pair with it based on the green & blue tops that I WISH FIT ME.

Request Holly, folks. She’s rad.
