Fix #4

Market & Spruce
Bernadette Lace Overlay Raglan Top

I was super excited to try on this top. I am a sucker for raglan tops and I was surprised by the beautiful colors. I love the lace overlay on the front that adds interest and allows me to dress it up a bit if I want. Loved everything about this shirt. Perfect for me.


Conclusion: Keep


Market & Spruce
Sawyer Space Dye Dolman Sleeve Knit Top

I was looking forward to this shirt. I had seen a few other women get a similar style in their fixes and I was curious whether or not it would work for me. This was the hardest one to decide if I should keep it or not. I really wanted to like it, but I just felt that it wasn't very flattering. Steven said the shape reminded him of a big bag of dog food. I think it's a great shirt, just not for me.


Conclusion: Return


41Hawthorn
Moni Stud Detailed 3/4 Sleeve Blouse

I did peek before my box arrived and saw that I was getting this little number. I had seen a lot of other women get this and I thought it was just awful. While Steven said that the fit was actually pretty good, I couldn't get over the feeling that I should be one of the men in "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers." Maybe if it was a different color it would have been better. I don't know if I could ever get over the studs though. Just not my thing.



Conclusion: Return


Renee C
Melisa Printed Pencil Skirt 

I had asked for a pencil skirt with some color since I already have a black one. I was not expecting something with as much pattern as this skirt. The problem I had with this skirt was the thinness of the material. I like the fabric to have some stiffness to it and I felt this showed every lump and bump. I loved the length and fit and even the pattern grew on me, but the fabric just wasn't quite right.


Conclusion: Return


Fate
Ellenwood Lace Detail Cardigan

This cardigan was fine. I don't really wear cardigans, so it has to be something really special for me to want it. It did have a nice lace detail, which added some interest. Maybe if it was a more exciting color I would have considered it. I already have so much black in my wardrobe, it doesn't really add much.


Conclusion: Return


There were some pieces that came close, but just weren't quite right. If I don't absolutely love everything about it, I don't keep it. I do however love love love the raglan top and am so happy to have it in my closet.
