My Second Stitch Fix

I posted earlier about my really horrible experience with Stitch Fix.  I did a lot of complaining about it in various places around the internet, and Stitch Fix kindly offered to waive the fee should I decide to try a second Stitch Fix box.  So with nothing to lose, I decided to go ahead and try it again.  I was very specific on my profile as to what I wanted and didn't want...well as specific as one can be in 200 characters.  The second time around, I was much more pleased with what my stylist picked for me (Hi Talleda!).  She stuck to my Pinterest board and even looked around my blog for tips on what I would like, ie not zippered hot pants.

Item number one was this cute black and white striped skirt at $68.  I really liked the look, but it was a little too tight around my mom pooch that my husband lovingly insists I don't have.  So overall opinion was was cute but too small.


The second item I wasn't sure about when I pulled it out of the box.  I'm not a fan of the short and wide look that for some reason is popular.  But when I tried this sweater on, I really liked the elbow patches, that you can't see here, and I liked how it was longer in back.  Johnny gave it two thumbs up, so this one is a go.  $64 by the way.


This second sweater I was really excited about because I've had an Aztec print sweater on my "to buy" list for awhile now.  I think the fit is great and the print is cute.  Johnny is not a fan of this sweater and does not understand why it has so much extra fabric on the top.  I told him I wouldn't make him wear it.  So this one was another go, $78.


This next one was a little too much plaid, even for me.  The fit of this pea coat was actually pretty good, and I liked the quilted lining, but for $148, I didn't feel that the quality of the wool was high enough.  I would rather spend more money on something a little more timeless and a little higher quality.  So negatory to the pea coat.


I love love loved this navy, cream and red infinity scarf!  You can't tell from the picture, but it's kind of patterned after a striped flour sack.  Super soft and super cute.  Good choice for $34.

My Horrible Stitch Fix

I was so looking forward to getting my first Stitch Fix box, but so disappointed when it finally came.  First of all, I told them that I had a nickel allergy and couldn't wear any nickel jewelry.  So it's a good thing they sent me a necklace made of nickel. Perfect.

Then I also told them that I had a bachelorette party coming up.  So they sent me this outfit for that.


Hmm.  Exactly what I wanted for my maternity/Grease bachelorette party.


Then they decided that I needed something to make me feel really good about being well-endowed.  Something that is short and wide and had horizontal stripes right across the chest. It's also perfect how it's almost the same color as my skin.  And the short, flared mom jeans were just icing on the cake.


Boo Stitch Fix!
