Fix #5

41Hawthorn
Breyson Pleated Tab-Sleeve Blouse

This is a shirt from the same company of the orange shirt I loved a couple of fixes ago. I loved the structure of the fabric and that I could make the sleeves 3/4. I didn't love the pleat detail in the front, but the pleats in the back looked really pretty. I felt that my shape got lost under it because it was such a dark color. Wasn't my favorite.


Conclusion: Return

Market & Spruce
Aleah Heathered V-Neck Dolman Top

Why I was sent another dolman top, I will never understand. This just is not a good look on me. It is way too loose for my liking and makes me look like one giant blob. Looking at the picture, I actually think that the color is pretty, so that's one saving grace.


Conclusion: Return

Papermoon
Taluca Striped Pencil Skirt

I've been asking for more pencil skirts that are simple in pattern so that they can be versatile. This skirt was one of the better ones I've received. It had a lining and zipper, so it was more structured than previous skirts sent to me. I was really on the fence with this one. Steven liked it, but I didn't feel that I would have that many things to wear with it. The real deciding factor was the price. I wasn't willing to pay that much for something I wasn't sure about.


Conclusion: Return

Mystree
Brad Striped Jersey Maxi Dress

Another item that I don't know why they sent me. I have specified over and over again to not send sleeveless items because I don't like wearing cardigans or undershirts for coverage. This dress was really comfy and the fit was great. I thought it was a great little dress, but for someone else. I don't think I'm a maxi dress kind of girl. Steven said it looked like a dress made out of sweatpants. I disagree, and I think this is a wonderful dress if you are into that sort of thing.


Conclusion: Return

Bay to Baubles
Nia Beaded Teardrop Earrings

I made mention in my notes for this fix that I missed getting earrings last time. I had also mentioned to reference my pinterest board for ideas. Welp, I got sent these that look like nothing on my board. I'm a very simple jewelry person and these were just too much. I can appreciate them, but like the maxi dress, they would be perfect for someone else.


Conclusion: Return

So, this fix was kind of a bust. I wasn't too upset about it though because I had recently received a $20 credit from Stitch Fix just for being a customer. I ended up not losing any money, so I'm not that upset about it. I am going to ask for another fix right away, though. Hopefully that one will be more successful.
