Second Stitch Fix



My Second Stitch Fix box came on Friday! It's ridiculous how excited I get about these things.

This time I asked for some skinny jeans, a dolman top (just because I'd never tried one) and a dress since I have a couple of weddings coming up. I specifically requested the Ernesto Circle Print dress I'd seen on their facebook page.

Let's get right to it, shall we?

First I tried on THE dress. It was even prettier in person. I was so excited.....until......

(sad face)

 I was hopeful this dress would hide all the right spots....unfortunately it was quite the opposite. It clung in ALL the wrong places. And was too short (as my stylist warned it might be). Super bummed. I'm sure it would have looked great on pre-baby me, but that "me" is long gone. Back she goes. :(

Next up Crystal Abstract Print Sheath dress. This one looked a little corporate power lady-ish to me, but the cut looked like it would be flattering.....



WRONG! I swam in this. Which I guess I should be happy about (thank you Weight Watchers!). It was massive one me. This one goes back too. I made a reminder to update my profile that I've lost weight.

Then came the Bowie Solid Dolman top. I LOVED the color (and I don't have anything similar) and it was super soft. I tried it on....three separate times.

It looked pretty good this way (except it makes me look like my back is oddly shaped).....



But this way?



No. No no no. I really debated this one, but I don't want to have to worry about looking like a sail if I happen to hold my arms a certain way. Back again.

Next up- Bay to Baubles carved leaf earrings.



Cute, but I have a pair very, very similar. Back they go.

Ok. So last but not least. Skinny Jeans! YAY! Soft and stretchy! YAY! Super Dark wash! YAY! $146! $146?! Are you $%*&ing me? WAY out of my price range. They are out of their minds!!! There's no way any jeans are worth.....



Oh yeah. They are. Here I tried on with a different top I got at Target....



I really WANTED to not like them. I hoped they wouldn't fit. Because I just can't spend that much on jeans. I can't. But....but....they are seriously more comfy than yoga pants. And "on trend." And make all the right places look pretty good if I do say so myself. And SUPER cute with my new red flats. Jon told me to keep them. So I did. :)

So while I am going to make sure to let my stylist know the jeans were definitely out of my price range and I'd like to keep it closer to $25 -$50 per item next time, I will definitely get plenty of use out of these jeans!

If you are still on the fence about Stitch Fix, I strongly encourage you to try it. It's a lot of fun, I'm stepping out of my comfort zone with my clothes, and you only pay for what you keep. If you want to sign up, I'd appreciate if you'd use my referral link. :)
