On Saturday I received my Stitch Fix box, and you guys! It's kind of like Christmas morning for grownups. The suspense! The surprise! I usually let the box sit on my dresser for a bit to amp up the anticipation before ripping into it and gingerly taking one item out of the box at a time. This is my third Stitch Fix delivery (my second yielded only a great bracelet set) and my first impression was that it was devoid of color. All browns, greys and black. My last box was very colorful, but I think that the less colorful ones tend to be the most versatile. I can mix and match a black top into my wardrobe easier than a wildly printed one, you know? I'll break the box down by item, shall I?
Cowlneck Grey dress ($48): This dress has zero hangar appeal, seriously. It looks sloppy and sad and oh so boring. But! Once I put it on I felt that it hung quite nicely and the neckline was drapey and flattering. I liked that I could wear heels and dress it up or flat sandals and a large tote for day. I don't have a grey dress (they always seem boring to buy, right?), but I think I underestimated the versatility of this color.
Black and White print dress with beaded neckline ($58): This was not my favorite. It made me feel matronly and not cute. The pattern itself was fun and I would have liked it better on a maxi skirt or dress with a different neckline (or skinnier straps?) I just didn't feel good in this and knew from the moment I picked it up that it wouldn't suit my style or personality.
Navy Cardigan ($88): This cardigan was okay. I liked the sheerness of it, the length (it was longer in the back) and thought it would be a great summer weight cardigan. BUT, there is no way I can spend that amount of money on a sweater. Maybe if it was $20 or even $30? I just cannot buy something that expensive that can be found many others places for a much less price.
Striped asymmetrical tank ($48): This was another item that was just okay, not special enough or flattering enough to buy. I felt it didn't fit my style or match who I am, you know? The price was an issue as well. Just, no.
Sheer Crossfront Top ($58): Again, this was a nice shirt, but nothing super special. I felt it was basic enough to wear with jean shorts or faux leather skinnies on a date. I love basic tops that can be dressed up or down and I could accessorize it to fit my personality. I liked the length (longer in the back), though the cross over fit in the front seemed a little weird with the cut and fit of this top.
That was it! I wasn't super impressed with this box, but did love the grey dress (I kept it!) and find I tend to keep about one item from every box I receive. I really like the fun of not knowing what you are going to get and seeing what other people think you should wear. I have another box being delivered June 10th, I can't wait to see what is in it and share it with you guys.
