Stitch Fix #7 - July 2015 Fix (I needed another one!)


That time I needed a second box two weeks later (it was bound to happen at some point).  I just couldn't wait a month for another 'fix' and since I only kept one item from my last fix, I treated myself to 'Stitchmas' in July (again).  I am desperate for a new maxi dress this summer, and I requested one again for this fix.

 In case you have not heard of Stitch Fix, it's a personal styling program that's takes your input to create a style profile for $20 each time you want a "fix".  I currently have mine set up for monthly.  If you keep one or more items the $20 fee is subtracted from the balance due. As a bonus, if you buy all five items they send you, they give you a 25% discount which can be pretty great if you love everything they send!!  

Ok.  Here are the details of my seventh box from Stitch Fix:

1) MARKET & SPRUCE Callen Crochet Sleeve Dress ($58)
2) PIXLEY Mirado Lasercut Detail Blouse ($58)
3) MARKET & SPRUCE Jahana Cargo Vest ($68)
4) PAPERMOON Violeta Scallop Detail Blouse ($44)
5) SKIES ARE BLUE Giselle Woven Maxi Skirt ($64)


So, here is how I decided which items to keep:

MARKET & SPRUCE Callen Crochet Sleeve Dress ($58)
A beautiful dress for under $60!?!  How awesome!!!  Truth be known, I dislike dresses with a tie at the waist, so unfortunately I sent this one back even though the color was beautiful!  The detail on the sleeves is such a nice touch!





  Verdict: GOING BACK

 PIXLEY Mirado Lasercut Detail Blouse ($58)
This blouse is an amazing cobalt blue color and the laser cut detail is so unique!  I am so close to keeping this one, but I am not sure I can justify the $58 price tag.  I feel like if this shirt was $44 it would be more appropriate.  I am undecided on this one because the quality is so nice!!!







  Verdict: UNDECIDED

 MARKET & SPRUCE Jahana Cargo Vest ($68) and SKIES ARE BLUE Giselle Woven Maxi Skirt ($64)
I have been desperate for a cargo vest and I have been harassing my stylist to send me one.  I am just not sure that this is the 'one' I have been looking for.  It has a hood that can be unzipped at the neckline which is GREAT and it gathers at the waist which is also a feature I really liked!  I just wasn't sure about the fit on me.  









This maxi skirt is a gorgeous bright pink that I love.  However, I don't like the style of maxi skirts/dresses where the lining is only halfway down the skirt.  If it is lined, I would prefer it is lined all the way down.  I will advise my stylist of this going forward.

Verdict Cargo Vest: GOING BACK
Verdict Maxi Skirt:  GOING BACK

 PAPERMOON Violeta Scallop Detail Blouse ($44)
Again with the amazement - only $44 for this gorgeous blouse???  The back is so super cute I can't take it!  I was going to keep this FOR SURE, however the XS they sent me was too tight around the armpits and they had none in stock to exchange.  (sigh)

The back of this top is like a mullet.  Total party.   I think I might ask for it again in future fixes because this one might haunt me.
 

  Verdict: GOING BACK





JULY 2015 #2 FIX = 1 potential new 'pretty' in my closet.
