Stitch Fix Box #2

My original plan with Stitch Fix was to get one box a season to kind of freshen up my wardrobe.  You can get them sent every couple of weeks, but I didn't want to spend that much.  But...I had such a great experience with my first box, that I thought it would be fun to get a box before I went back to school.  I explained to my stylist that I was a teacher and I'd like some clothes for work and also something I could wear for a date night.  Here's what I got:
Bancroft Leighton Metal Bauble Necklace- $34
The necklace was ok for me.  It is heavier than I thought and I wouldn't have a problem keeping it if I needed to for the keep 5 get 25% off, but I decided not to because I didn't love it.
Verdict: Return

Papermoon Mesli Crochet Detail Blouse- $48
I do like this shirt.  It's light and thin and the detail around the neck is cute.  It also had some gold buttons on the back.  Unfortunately, I think it was too small in the arm holes.  It kept rubbing when I moved.
Verdict: Return

Margaret M Emer Printed Straight Leg Pant-$98
Well, as soon as I saw these, I thought, "Eww!"  I really disliked the pattern.  They are really a popular pant on the Stitch Fix blog and website and they were comfortable.  I just couldn't see myself wearing that print.  To get out of my comfort zone with pants, I'd choose a color other than brown, black, or grey.  These are just too 'out there' for me! :)
Verdict: Return

 41Hawthorn Veria Cross Over Knit Top-$48
This top is super comfortable and I think would look good with a skirt or with jeans.  I'd probably need to wear a tank under it for school, but I really like it.
Verdict: Keep

Renee C Alondra Ruched Pencil Skirt-$58
Kristina guessed this was a tube top when I showed her, so probably not a great look for a skirt.  It was super tight and clingy.  Not something I'd feel comfortable wearing.  The fabric was nice, but it was just too tight.
Verdict: Return

skirt is navy blue (hard to tell in previous picture)

 I do love that the fix comes with a style card and a personal note from your stylist:

 Julie has been my stylist for both boxes and I love that she reads my comments and wishes and tries to find something to match.

So this fix was not nearly as successful for me as the previous one, but I still looked forward to trying on new and different types of clothing.  I did keep one shirt, so I didn't loose my styling fee.  I also had a referral, so that even made the shirt cheaper.  Looking forward to my next fix....hopefully I can wait until fall this time!!
