If you need an overview of how Stitch Fix works, check out my first blog about it here.
This time I asked for tops, specifically a couple pieces that would work with my awesome Reggie Skinny jeans from my last box. I also asked for an "edgy" piece just to see what would happen....the awesome thing about Stitch Fix is that they send you things specific to the style(s) you indicate you like, or are interested in trying.
First up, was the big surprise of the box. A skirt. As soon as I peeked at the invoice (which you can do as soon as they ship to you), I knew I wouldn't keep this. I mean, after all, it was a SKIRT. I don't do skirts for work, and I rarely have an occasion to wear one....Jon and I don't really get many date nights.
But then I tried it on, and I really liked it. It was long- which is really really hard to find for my height. And it was comfy and fit well. It looked pretty good with a black top from The Limited I've had in my closet for years. And as soon as I tried it on Jon said I should keep it. So now at least I do have something for that elusive date night!

Next was a Dolman top. I was a little wary of this since my last one didn't turn out so well. But this one was a heathered grey stripe (which I love) and was actually a very soft, thin knit sweater: perfect for fall. I really liked the way it looked and felt, so I decided to keep this one.

Next up, my "edgy piece"....a faux leather jacket. I liked that it was a nice grey color and not the typical black, and had a cool asymetrical zipper. But It just didn't look right on me. It was a little too big and looked odd both open and closed.

Next up, another Dolman top- this one was orange/coral (yay!) with a cool print. I wasn't too sure about how it is tighter and gathered near the tummy area but I liked it enough to look past that. Plus it makes it different from your average top.

Then came the blouse. (I really hate that word.) I tried it on several times, and I liked the contrast with the dark skinny jeans, but I just think I look a little ridiculous in this particular color of pink. And something is just weird to me about the one itty bitty pocket on the boob. I decided to pass on this one but I am open to a different top in a similar style, different color.

All in all, I am very pleased with this one. Looking forward to next month! If you are interested in trying your first Stitch Fix, I'd appreciate if you use my referral link here :).
