Hello Stitch Fix fans! Well, it's been awhile since my last SF post, so I apologize for the delay. I also apologize for the quality of the photos below - the only time I had to take the pictures was at the end of the day and the light was terrible. Anyway, my May fix arrived just in time for the wedding I was attending on the Eastern Shore at the end of May. I requested the same stylist again, hoping that some continuity would ensure that my fixes get better and better over time as she gets to know me and my style. I made a request for some pieces that I could mix-and-match while I was out East, preferably some florals, pastels, seersucker or anything coastal/nautical and light. I also requested a dress that I could wear to the rehearsal dinner. I again reiterated that I love anything with a v-neck and am pretty conservative in the dressing department, that I like classic pieces and lots of color. I think my stylist did a great job with this fix and while there was one piece I hated, I really liked everything else. Fashion show below!
First up was the item I was most excited about, this gorgeous floral dress. Honestly, I loved just about everything about this dress. I loved the v-neck, the little cap-sleeves, the high-low hem in the front and back. I loved the color and the floral print. It fit great, was really flattering and super cute. I wore it with my favorite pair of super comfy nude pumps.
Verdict: KEPT
Next up were these really cute purple/orchid/fuschia pants. This is not a color that appears anywhere in my wardrobe, but I was really excited about them. I wanted a pair of summery pants because I despise shorts. I paired them with a cute floral top (similar here), but I love they way they're paired with lots of solid neutrals in the style card - that's definitely something I can handle. They fit great and are a perfect length for spring and summer. They're also really light so they won't be too hot to wear out during the upcoming months.
Verdict: KEPT
And speaking of my hatred of shorts, I was not happy to see a pair of them in this fix. I'm not sure if I specifically asked my stylist to stay away from shorts, but I was really hoping not to never get a pair of them in my fix. Much to my disappointment here they were. HOWEVER - and this is why Stitch Fix rocks! - they are the best shorts I've ever worn...EVER. I want to live in these shorts. They are comfortable and flattering and preppy, but also casual. I can dress them up with my Jack Rogers and a blouse or down with a pair of Chucks and t-shirt. I love the color and the texture, they're light and comfortable and fit like a glove. Stitch Fix, how do you do always nail pants/shorts?
Verdict: KEPT
The one dud of the box was this chambray top. I just hated it. I hated the light color and thought it washed me out completely. I hated the unfinished edges and thought it looked way too ratty for my taste. I hate the way my arms look in sleeveless tops and thought this just did nothing for me. I mean, the polka dots were cute and the length was good, but it's just not me.
Verdict: RETURNED
Lastly, this one might not look like much, but it's by far my favorite piece out of the entire fix. I love this little swiss dot blouse for so many reasons, mainly because it's white and will go with everything (I love white tops...just ask my closet) and is a great piece to wear to work with a skirt, out to dinner with my very favorite pair of skinny jeans or even just with shorts (gah!) running errands. It's sheer, but it has a little camisole underneath that can be taken out if you want to wear it over a different one (I did because it was a bit short). I like the v-neck in front and the button detail. Plus...how cute are the polka dots?
Verdict: KEPT
What do you think?
What would you have kept?

I actually thought the chambray top was cute for you but maybe would have been more your style with a finished hem. :) Love all your keepers! That first dress is fab.
ReplyDeleteYou kept the best!!
ReplyDeleteI'm LOVING the cropped pants, and need to request something similar in my next fix. And, so glad you kept the shorts. You have ROCKING legs and should sport those as often as you can!
Lastly. That white polka dot top is everything. What a fabulous piece!
Wow, I really love so much of what you received! I agree about the Chambray top though. Everything else looks so good on you, and is super cute and summery!
ReplyDeleteYes how do they always nail the fit of pants/shorts?!?!? It's like they're magic or something! I actually love the chambray top minus the frayed edges. Love all of the items you kept!
ReplyDeleteStill love that dress! But the last white top is super cute too. And the color of those pants is so fun! You always get great fixes! Do you request certain items?
ReplyDeleteI love that dress, you look wonderful!!! Also, I hate shorts, but those are so cute!! Love what you kept!!!
ReplyDeleteI approve of your choices! I am dying to try some of their shorts, but I just don't think I can afford that much for a pair of shorts! :(
ReplyDeleteI love these posts! Those Kut pants are amazing!! And I love swiss dot anything!! The shorts are super cute on you (I hate my legs but have to live in shorts in the summer - it's just too hot for pants!)
ReplyDeleteThat dress on you is fab, Sara! You look great! I love all of the things that you kept.
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome fix! I am especially loving those colorful pants and the dot blouse. You need to pair them together!
ReplyDeleteOooh, I love that swiss dot top!!! You got a really great fix!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great box! I love everything you kept. I think I need some of those shorts. You are adorable!
ReplyDeleteI love what you kept!! I need those liverpool pants!
ReplyDeletethose cropped pants you kept are my absolute fav.. they look SOOOO good on you
ReplyDeletewow, thats a solid fix! Totally agree w all your picks, and I love love the shorts and top!
ReplyDeleteThat floral dress was made for you! Hot mama!!! Im not a shorts person either but that color and cut looks great on you. What a great Fix!
ReplyDeleteCute! Love the floral dress. I hate shorts too, but those are very classic and they look great on you.
ReplyDeleteHot mama! A fix like this makes me rethink Stitch Fix! Love everything you kept. The pants and shorts are my favorite!
ReplyDeleteI love your picks! I would love that last white top with the polka dots! Too cute!
ReplyDeleteFantastic fix, makes me want to do one again;) You kept the correct items, IMO, and I love that you have lots of white tops ( I have zero) and no fuchsia ( I have a ton). Looking good, mama!
ReplyDeleteI love everything you kept but actually think the chambray top was cute. I'm in love with those shorts. I've received pants that I love from stitch fix but the shorts they sent me just didn't fit :(. You get way better stuff than I normally get! And I love the floral top you paired with the maroon pants... I want it!!!
ReplyDeleteI wish my Stitch fixes were as cute as yours...I definitely wouldn't have canceled!
ReplyDeleteThis was a good one! That last shirt is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWow! What a great fix!
ReplyDeleteI SO feel the same about shorts and literally the shorts that SF sent me, I LOVE AND LIVE IN. I wore them 3 times this weekend and I HATE SHORTS. I don't know what it is about them, but it's perfect! I even loved them so much that I wanted another pair and thankfully was able to find some online on Nordstrom (on sale!).
ReplyDeleteAlso, I LOVE LOVE that dress on you! The style card doesn't do it justice but it looks great on you!
Wow! This was a great fix!! Hooray! And yeah- I'm seriously wondering how in the world they always get the fit on pants so right. It's magical.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, you hit the motherload with this box. I really like that dress. Very cute. :)
