The challenge is so ON! My next fix is in progress and I’ve got a handful of backlogged Fix reviews to share before my package arrives!  Here’s the next one in line: I received this one last year for Spring as well, in April.

By this point I was feeling really confident in my stylist’s ability to deliver on my requests while still introducing new and novel items. My 3 requests this time: jean shorts, ankle booties, and a tote for work. Let’s review how it turned out!

Piece #1: Asa Knit Blazer by Skies Are Blue

Straight out of the gate, I received an excellent grey knit blazer that was 3/4 sleeve with a black ruche detail at the elbow. I have used this blazer a ton since keeping it (surprise surprise, hehe) to dress up workwear or even casual wear. The fabric is breathable but still capable of providing an extra layer of warmth, which I found myself needing up here!  Total and complete thumbs up on this one.

 

Piece #2: Garcia Crochet Back Blouse by Brixon Ivy

I’ll be honest – I wasn’t sure about this one at first. It’s white and up to this point in my life I haven’t really ever chosen white pieces and been amazed by them on me, so I thusly didn’t buy pieces that were white. That being said, this piece had a pretty beautiful back detail that really appealed to me in terms of getting into the spring spirit. Plus my better half convinced me — he thought it was super cute! I will admit, it’s also more feminine in details than I customarily choose for myself, so I think it was a good addition to the wardrobe. I’ve enjoyed it a lot since in warmer weather, and I can’t wait to break it out again this year when it is less windy. 

Piece #3: Langlock Cold Shoulder Top by Skies Are Blue

I usually am posting glowing reviews of all these pieces because my stylist does a great job. I have selected to occasionally receive trendy items in my Fix – very occasionally. One such item was this cut out top by Skies Are Blue. I had seen them around on other people and was noticing how cute they are so once I realized this was in my fix I really hoped it would be flattering on me too. Sadly however… it wasn’t!

Now that I’m looking back, maybe the sizing was just off on this one. It had such cute detail work so I liked it when it wasn’t actually on my body. So needless to say this was a Return. What are your thoughts on the cut out trend? I’m curious to hear — I think it’s going to carry over to this year as well – not as new or ‘cutting edge’ fashion, just as a fun spring/summer element.

Piece #4: Jake Distressed Cuffed Short by Mavi

So I’m actually wary of sharing this pic because my bottom half is pretty curvy & muscular. That being said however, I still want to share (odd socks notwithstanding) because I think it’s important to demonstrate that no matter the body type you can find clothes that fit your body right!

For me, curviness and muscular legs notwithstanding, these Mavi shorts – my 2nd pair of Mavis from Stitch Fix I believe! – are amazing and fit like a glove. That is one reason I keep ordering Fixes. I don’t have to go try on clothes – read that as jeans or shorts – that don’t fit or don’t flatter my body. I can just have one item sent to me that my stylist is reasonably sure will fit me! Works for me. :)

So this one was a keeper for sure.

Piece #5: Jacey Striped Reversible Tote by Street Level

Second of three requests: a work tote! This bag was so cute and presented options with it’s reversible feature. I loved it and I still enjoy it today, though I switch between totes and backpacks for my posture’s sake. So it was a keeper!

 

To wrap up 2 of my 3 requests were fulfilled and I was pretty  happy. My stylist told me that for the ankle booties, they had all flown off the shelves and they were fresh out. Completely understandable. I am requesting this item again for my next Fix though so we will see what happens once it arrives! In summary, I still bought all the pieces except the Cold Shoulder Top. It just did not look good on me. But that’s okay! Not all pieces work for everyone.

To be continued… with #5 tomorrow! Until then!!
