Fix #6

In my note to my stylist I was very specific. I restated that I don't want anything sleeveless or cardigans or maxi dresses, and I asked for a more structured pencil skirt. Several people mentioned to me that I should have kept the pencil skirt from the last one, but really it came down to how it was made. It had a lining, which was great, but it would creep up above the waistline. And I preferred it to have a little more structure in the fabric. It was really close, but not quite right.

As soon as I saw that my fix shipped, I peeked at what they sent me. Three tops and two pencil skirts were on their way. I tried looking them up on the internet, but could not really find anything that matched with the tops. The skirts popped up, but there was no way of knowing what the pattern was going to be. So, I just had to wait. I was hoping that there would be something I could wear on my weekend getaway with Steven to celebrate our anniversary.

I got my fix on Friday and I was so happy it came before we left for the weekend. The first thing I noticed about this fix was that every item I pulled out looked fitted. Hooray!

Olive & Oak
Lida Knit Top

My stylist recommended pairing this top with my Siena cropped pant I got in my first fix. I love that she thought of the pieces that I already have and what would go with them. Yay, stylist! I thought that was super smart of her. I did try it together and it did look great. Sorry I forgot to get a picture of it. :\ This top was very comfy. I loved that it could be dressed up or down. It fit perfectly and I thought it was great for fall.

Conclusion: Keep

I actually loved this top so much that I took it with me on our weekend. Yay!


Loveappella
Carnival Printed Knit Top

This top fit perfectly. I loved the subtle print and the easy feel of this top. It is perfect for everyday wear. I also felt like it was a great addition to my wardrobe because I don't have anything like it. I also haven't seen anyone else have anything similar. Plus, I love 3/4 sleeves! They are my absolute favorite sleeve length. Super cute!

Conclusion: Keep

This one also came with me on my trip.  :)


Laila Jayde
Emme Suede Neckline Knit Top

This top was very similar in color to the lace overlay raglan top I got in fix #4, so my initial reaction was hesitant. It's a good thing that I like this color. One thing that I thought was great about this stylist was that she sent me a top that would look perfect with both skirts that she sent. It makes it even easier to keep. This was a really great basic shirt that I could wear any day of the week. Of course, I have to make the sleeves 3/4.

Conclusion: Keep


Renee C
Melisa Printed Pencil Skirt

I knew the second I saw this skirt that I was going to love it. I was just praying that it would be long enough. Thank goodness it was! I love big floral patterns and my pinterest board was full of them. Big props to my stylist for recognizing what kind of floral pattern I like instead of the disastrous attempt in fix #2. Even though this isn't the structured pencil skirt that I was hoping for, it totally works because it is mainly a dark color with bold print. I think the problem with a smaller pattern is that it shows variation easily, i.e. lumps and bumps.

Conclusion: Keep


Renee C
Grace Printed Pencil Skirt

This skirt was ok. It fit well, but the pattern was just too busy for me. I really prefer bigger patterns over small. Also, I wasn't feeling the colors. The kind of earthy tones just aren't me. Because of the amazing discount you get from keeping all five items, I had to keep it. So, if any of you are interested, I am willing to sell it for the discounted price. Please let me know, otherwise it is just going to sit in my closet.

Conclusion: Keep


I was so utterly thrilled by this fix. A big shout out to my stylist, Sunrise! I have been waiting to find a stylist that gets me and I am so excited that I finally have. I am going to asked for her again, for sure! I felt like she listened to everything I've been saying and was so thoughtful. She really paid attention to my requests and my reviews of the last fixes. And I loved everything so much, I actually wore 4 out of the 5 in one weekend. Total success. So happy.
