Stitch Fix October 2015 #12

I have now gotten 12 fixes. I am starting to feel like a pro at this Stitch Fix thing. I really do adore getting a box of new clothes to try on at home every month. I would get two a month if Dear Hubby would let me.

What is Stitch Fix?

It is a styling service that for $20 (which gets credited towards any items you keep) you get five items hand-selected for you by a stylist. You fill out a style profile and link a Pinterest board, so your stylists know what you like. If you are interested in trying out this service, please use my referral link as I can get credit for sending you their way.

I had some pretty specific requests this month: something plaid, colored cords or jeans, a jean jacket, and a top to match the pencil skirt from a previous fix. I am usually not this specific, but I have some pretty specific needs.

I have to be sure to thank my youngest daughter, Shmurtz, was my photography today, so I hope you think the shots worth as the seven-year-old took them.

First out of the box was this top. It is a plaid, tab-sleeved button down blouse. The style card said to pair it with the brown corduroys in this fix, so I did.

I was disappointed in the colors/patterns. I am moving towards more brights in my wardrobe, and I felt that this was a step backwards. The fabrics and fits were lovely. I would have preferred a pretty red or blue plaid and red pants. The pants were a wonderful fit as is my experience with Kut from the Kloth pants, but I already own two pairs of brown cords in my closet.

I saw a couple of these sweaters on Pinterest. They looked perfect, so while I didn't pin one to my board, I am glad one arrived. I think the length is perfect; it is super soft, and has the best detail on the elbows.

I paired it with some pink leggings from Old Navy that I don't wear all that often, but with the length of this sweater, I could certainly pull them out more often.

I got a jean jacket a few fixes ago, but it didn't fit right. I don't currently own a jean jacket, and in the same way my stylists have pushed me to get a pencil skirt, I think I am ready to go jean jacket.

However, this was NOT the jean jacket I was looking for. It was super soft and stretchy, which is a must for me in any jacket, but it was too big and the wash wasn't what I wanted.

Who doesn't need a new bag?

I received a bag similar to this during a summer fix that I didn't keep. I did keep a bag from my July Fix. I pinned this bag two weeks ago, and I got it. I adore it, and I have only used it for one day. It has five pockets (two outside and three inside). My Chromebook fits in it along with everything else.

I am challenging my stylist to look back over my requests and provide a box under $200 for those who need a less expensive option. Here is the note I left for November:
