Stitch Fix #2

Stitch Fix is my favorite. I did my first Fix six months ago and liked all the items I received. I felt so pampered. Retail shopping is something I rarely, if ever, do and Stitch Fix fits nicely into my life. 

You fill out a form to let them know what you like, about your lifestyle, and preferences in color and items. Having a fashion Pinterest board is helpful so your stylist can get an idea of what your tastes are. (Here's mine: http://pin.it/KfI3CjD

I was excited that I got two referral bonuses to use ($25 each) and in addition if you keep all five items they choose for you, you get 25% off! 

It costs $20 as a styling fee, but if you keep an item, you get it taken off your order. These items averaged $30 after the discounts. 

Now with the basics out of the way here's what I got:

Elaine Ikat Print Pocket Front Knit Tee
I would never have picked out either the color or the pattern, but I really like it. It's extraordinarily soft and will dress up if I want. The light color is more of a light blue than is showing in the picture.

Banzai Twist Detail Top

This is a dressier fabric that I would worry about spilling on or the kids goobering, so this is strictly a going out of the house shirt. I don't own anything green either, so I am surprised how much I like it. The twisty neck is a fun detail, and I could still wear a necklace with it. 

Montgomery Cross Front Top

This is a knit fabric, also incredibly soft and, I think, quite flattering and nursing friendly

Halle Printed Flare Skirt
I really love this skirt. It's got a vintage feel in both feel and pattern. I have one almost like it with polka dots. It has the unfortunate flaw of being a bit too snug and not having an elastic waist. Since having all these kiddos, I am all about the elastic waist. I may alter it so it's more comfortable, because it is definitely not an all day item as is. 


Sam Hi-Lo Short Sleeve Tee
This shirt, again, is amazingly comfortable and so soft! I'm quite tactile so that matters to me quite a lot. It is a good basic piece and a lot higher quality than what I am used to wearing. 

However, it is not very forgiving. Here is what it looks like with the wrong pants and wrong bra.



If I keep all five items, the discount basically lets me get 1 1/2 of them for free. And as an added incentive, I don't have to go to the post office! 

 What do you think? Would you keep them all? I need to decide by Saturday. (You have five days to decide, I just couldn't get the pictures taken and the post done right away.)
