Fix #10

Holy cow, this makes ten Stitch Fixes and I'm just now reviewing them.  I suppose I owe a bit of "thanks for the inspiration" to a Facebook buy/sell/trade page I've joined.

Anyway, let's get to it!!

First, since this is my first SF review I thought I'd kind of give y'all a little background on Stitch Fix.  It's a personal shopping subscription (in a sense) that sends you five pieces specifically chosen for your taste.  Some of what is pulled is out of my comfort zone, some of it is what I'd never pull for myself when shopping.  That's the point!!
It's a really easy process; you go to their website and answer a couple questions.  Then you sign up for the service!!  I suggest hopping on Pinterest and making a Stitch Fix board then linking it to your account.  That way your stylist (may not be the same each Fix, FYI) knows more about you other than a few blanket questions.  A better suggestion idea (I've done this) is making a board for each season.  I made one for spring/summer and one for autumn/winter.  You can also request items for your stylist.  It's already in the 80s here so I requested nothing but summer wear.  And SHE DELIVERED!!
Why do I Stitch Fix?  Well, it's a simple little thing for me to look forward each month- it's like Christmas!!  I rarely shop for myself (who has time with a baby anyway!?) so my wardrobe is, well... It's not that great.  Plus since we moved to Florida from England and I was pregnant all last summer my summer wardrobe was almost nil.  All the clothing is very good quality and if there's ever an issue their customer service is top notch.

Okay now let's get to it.

Stitch Fix #10

Collective Concepts Rosco Floral Print Crochet Detail Tank
$58 before discount

I love this top.  I mean I love, love, love it.  It's perfect for the hazy, hot and humid Florida summer.  It fits like it was made for me (please pardon my black bra and just-got-done-at-the-gym hair) and is young and fresh without looking like I got it out of the junior department.  Plus I have a nude racerback bra that'll work perfect- win!!  And the knit detail?  Gorgeous!!!

Decision time.... KEPT!!!!!!

Papermoon Mula Knit Tank

$38 before discount

Um, hello SOFTEST SHIRT IN EXISTANCE!!!  I want five of these in different colors.  I love the cut at the bottom, I love the peephole in the back, I love the colors of the stripes and I love how it fits.  It's super soft cottony material (think of your favorite blanket- that soft), I'd like to live in it.  Plus Andrea (my stylist this Fix- I'll definitely request her again) referenced my Pinterest board on this; I love color blocking!!!  The stylists really do pay attention, promise!!

Decision time.... definitely KEPT!!!!!!!!

Pixley Livie Abstract Chevron Maxi Dress

$78 before discount

I don't think this is a petite (it's not marked on the price sheet) but it fits just like a petite maxi dress should.  It's also incredibly soft and with the top being draped it hides any bodily imperfections.  It has elastic right at the smallest point of my waist- perfect.  I love the colors, the design and the cut.  If I saw it in a store there's no guarantee I'd pick it for myself (especially with a price tag like that!) which makes it an even bigger win.  I'm not dead set on this- what are your thoughts?

Decision time...  help!!!

THML Emory Spaghetti Strap Top

$44 before discount

Liverpool Sally Cuffed Short

$48 before discount

Let's start with the top first.  I LOVE the design of it, I love the colors and that the back has its own "flair".  The material itself is quite thin (not sheer) but it's very comfy.  The only thing I'm not really keen on is the cut of the front at my arms.  If I'd taken a side shot you could see a good portion of my bra cup.  However...!!  Andrea specifically stated that it'd be a great swimsuit cover as well.  In that aspect I totally agree.  I'll have to try it on with my strapless bra to see how it works- I really don't want to pay $44 (or $33 if I get all the pieces) for a swimsuit cover.  Thoughts on this piece?
Decision time.... help!!

The shorts.  I really like them, surprisingly.  You know how you try things on, then you look down and think, "Ugh!!"?  Well that was my initial thought with these shorts.  I thought they were a little too tight on my thighs but wanted to give them a fair shot.  Full disclosure, I didn't look in the mirror with any of these pieces.  I took the photos and looked at them.  After seeing the photos I realized, "Hey!  These really aren't that bad!"  What more is there to say?  They're your standard stretchy, denim shorts.  And I need shorts in a bad way- this pair makes one of three.  And I live in the Florida panhandle.
Decision time... KEPT!!

Overall I'm REALLY happy with this box.  I'd like to think it's a 5/5 (that'd be my first yet!) but I'm not 100% sold on the maxi and spaghetti strap top.  I'd love some feedback on those!!  If I keep the whole box (for those new to SF, if you keep the whole box you get a 25% discount) I'd only pay $184.50.  Honestly I don't think that's too bad; it's all casual and something I'll be able to wear daily- exactly what this stay at home mama needs.  What are your thoughts on this box?

To any of you Stitch Fixers, feel free to Pin any of the photos you'd like!!
