Despite my horrible photos it looks like you guys really liked my previous Stitch Fix post. I'm so glad that the images of me with greasy hair and not wearing a speck of makeup didn't make you scream and run from your computer! I'm also pleased that a number of you actually signed up for the service and are getting some new pieces for your wardrobe. That makes me happy, and I suspect that you wearing something other than sweatpants will make your partners happy as well.
You wanna see what I got in my November Stitch Fix?
Good. Because I have pictures, and I'm actually wearing makeup this time!
I didn't take any photos of my October fix, because I ran out of time before I had to send the stuff back. Don't worry, you didn't miss much; I actually didn't keep a single piece.
This month I got smart. I requested my original stylist, Stephania, who definitely understands my style and what I'm looking for.
A few tips to help you get pieces you'll like:
2. Get Pinteresty. Set up a fashion Pinterest board and keep it updated. When you fill out your Stitch Fix profile it asks if you have a Pinterest account and it's really helpful for your stylist if you use this. I had no idea that I like black skinny pants with zippers, but Stefania noticed I had pinned quite a few of that style and sent me a pair. If only my husband was as observant about my love for the kitchen trash being empty!
3. These are not cheap, disposable clothes. It's important to understand that you're investing a little bit in your wardrobe. That being said, you need to be truthful about your budget when you fill out your SF profile. Don't be embarrassed to say that you can't spend more than a certain amount on clothing, and never hesitate to send something back because it's too expensive. The point of the service is to make your life easier, not to keep you awake at night worrying about how you're going to pay your Visa bill. Personally, I think the fact that they managed to find me jeans that cost less than $80 is awesome. I think it's better to spend a few more sheckles on things you're really going to wear rather than throwing down $10 bucks for a cheetah t-shirt from Forever 21 when you're Actually 36.
And now, without further ado, the goodies in my November box:
My disclaimer: obviously, I am not a contender for America's Next Top (geriatric) Model, but at least this time my hair is clean and I'm wearing some lipgloss. I promise to do better next month.
Market and Spruce Graphic Print Blouse $48.00
I would have never picked this out for myself, but I LOVE this shirt. It's incredibly comfortable, but also looks totally put together. I've already worn it to three preschool tours, so I've totally tricked them into thinking I'm chic and hip instead of frazzled and unshowered. Win! KEPT
LA Made Striped Sweater $68.00
I liked this when I saw it in the box, so I was dissappointed when I put it on. It just wasn't that flattering. Turns out that just because something is black and white doesn't mean it must be purchased. Who knew??! RETURNED
Renee C Asymmetrical Cardigan $58.00
Again, I liked this when I saw it in the box, but it looked horrendous on me, like I'm wearing a giant burlap bag as a sweater. It was fine when it was unbuttoned, but I need another grey cardigan like I need a third child (read: NEVER). RETURNED |

Kut from the Kloth Distressed Boyfriend Jean $78.00
In my message for my stylist I asked for a pair of distressed boyfriend jeans. While I was happy that she sent a pair, these were not for me. First of all they were too big and kind of short in the legs (am I wrong on this? weigh in, please, fashionable readers). Plus they made my butt look really flat. I just haven't been able to find a pair of boyfriend jeans that look good on me, so either it's not a style for those of us with toothpick figures, or I have to continue searching. Sigh. RETURNED
Gorjana Double Bar Drop Earrings $48.00
Initially I was going to send these back without even trying them on, but thanks to the fact that I wanted to provide you people with photo proof, I discovered how cute these earrings are. Okay, I normally would not spend more than $10 on earrings that I'm not going to wear every day, but these looked so good, and I figured that since I'm trying to upgrade my wardrobe I should class up my accessories as well, so I splurged. I kind of love these and think I'll wear them often. KEPTHonestly, I think if you sign up for Stitch Fix you won't be disappointed. I'm just glad that I have some cute new clothes that fit my postpartum figure, and I suspect the Hubby is thrilled that I no longer try to leave the house wearing pajamas.
