May Stitch Fix #3 Mother’s Day Fix

Finally it’s here! I’ve been waiting to receive my May Fix for like, Forever! Okay,  maybe not that long, but boy has it felt like it. I’m currently receiving Stitch Fixes every month and a half and let me tell you ladies I’ve been a complete mad women, obsessing, and counting down the days until that box arrived in my mail. All that to say I couldn’t wait to see what was coming, so I did peek once the email hit my inbox saying “Your fix is currently being styled”. This fix was my husband’s gift to me for Mother’s Day, I had to wait a week or so to actually open it, (I was out of town) which made me even more impatient. Here’s what I asked for in my note to my stylist:

My stylist for this fix picked out items I requested in my notes. My only concern with this fix was the pricing. Once again there was only 1/5 items under the $50 mark. My first stylist Carson paid very much attention to this detail in my first fix, so much so that I purchased the entire box. This time around I really had to consider what I really liked and looked good on me, seeing as how this fix was on the pricier side… Which wasn’t hard at all! Spoiler Alert: I kept NOTHING!

First Up: BC Footwear Union Contrast Material Bootie $90.00 (size 6.5) –Returned

They look nice from this view

I love booties (the shoes)! Ha!  However when I first saw the picture of these I knew they were not for me. I didn’t like the contrast colors. The size was correct 6.5, but somehow these made my foot look longer than they are. My husband ever so kindly commented that it looked like I had Hobbit feet! I prefer a higher heel and shorter point…these were the opposite of that. Probably more for someone on the taller end of the spectrum. Not for us hobbits…I mean shorty’s!

Next: Market & Spruce Kristah Knit Blazer $78.00 – Returned

I had high hopes for this blazer. The color was a nice deep navy blue and the fabric was not very heavy at all. The back of the blazer has a chiffon ruffle that was cute. It seemed like it would be a versatile piece to use dressed up or down. When I tried it on I didn’t like how it looked on me. It accentuated my stomach area which doesn’t need attention (other than some exercise attention). When I moved my arms up and down the inseam in the upper arm pit area would bunch up and felt awkward. The chiffon ruffle in the back was doing nothing cute at all. The price was way to much for me to spend on a blazer that wasn’t making me look blazin hot!

Next Up: Olive and Oak Ganesa Crew Neck Blouse $44.00 – Returned

I liked the colors of this top, the navy blue stripes and the mint colors were perfect. The length fell just a little past my waist which was okay. But it did feel a little tight in the upper shoulder area. I contemplated keeping this top seeing as how this was my Mother’s Day Fix and I desperately wanted something to work for me…it was a Mother’s Day gift for goodness sake! But in the end I decided not to keep it, unless I really loved it and I didn’t, so back it went. I think I’m starting to not like the knit material these tanks are made of, they seem tight for being size L where as other tops of different material that are the same size L feel fine. I don’t know, I will probably request for my future fixes to not receive these types of knit material tops.

Next: Daniel Rainnn Albado Crew Neck Blouse $58.00 – Returned 

This shirt again very pretty floral print, the colors are amazing for Spring. It’s the same type material as the Olive and Oak above, so it was a bit snug in the upper back/shoulder area. When I tried this on at first I didn’t tuck it in and it was long! It made me look disproportioned. I tried tucking it in and it still seemed unflattering on me. Ugh…I don’t know if it’s the clothing or me! I feel like my body right now is in a weird postpartum shape. I’m short,  yet on the curvier side, I’m still nursing my son, which makes my bust larger than normal. And this tenth pregnancy has really taken a toll on my mid section! Anyhow, before I start body shaming myself let me move on! I tried the top on with the Dean Skinny down below, it seemed a good outfit idea, but just didn’t do it for me. This is a return.

Lastly: Just Black Dean Skinny Jean $78.00 – Return

I love the color of these jeans! They have a cute zipper towards the bottom of the leg. These jeans said they were a 14, but when I tried them on they felt loose in the butt and bottom leg area. I checked the size, again this time on the pant tag itself and they said size 16. The length was perfect, these would need no hemming or cuffing. Ultimately didn’t love the fit enough to keep…btw that purple striped top in the picture was a 99 cent store shirt. It’s the same type material as another shirt I bought from Stitch fix for $38.00 in my last fix!

Conclusion: Not a Happy Mother’s Day to me…A -$20.00 styling fee that’s ultimately what my gift was for the day. I was SO excited for this fix to come in, some of you whom I follow know I had been counting down the days for this fix to arrive only to be disappointed. Hopefully my first stylist will be back in the office to style my next fix or I may not be sticking with it much longer. This is technically my 3rd fix (since I received one by accident) with 3 different stylist, with three different ideas to style.
