Stitch Fix

I decided to give Stitch Fix a try and I have to admit, it was fun! The older I have gotten, the more I hate to shop. Which is weird, because I used to list shopping as a hobby! I just don't have the time for it {ok, I don't make the time for it} and I usually shop more at places like Lowe's than I do at Banana or JCrew. It's so bad that I drove down to Old Navy the other day and I was shocked to see that an Ulta had opened right next to it. I had no idea. And don't get me started that the last time I went to the mall, a stand alone Sephora had opened, and again- I had no idea because I never go shopping!  So that shows how long it had been since I had been to the mall! But in my defense- I work on one side of town in Tallahassee and the mall is on the complete other side of town- so it's just a hassle to go!

So when I heard about Stitch Fix, I figured that I would give it a shot. A stylist picks out clothes for you and sends them to your house? Yes please!

I got my first "fix" yesterday. Overall, I liked what I got. However, I am only keeping one thing they sent and that is the necklace pictured above. Here is some other stuff I got:
 The first top was cuter on- I have to admit. But the Eiffel Tower thing it had going on was a little too "young" looking for this soon-to-be 32 year old. Plus, the off-white coloring did nothing for my skin tone. Moving on.
 I really liked this top. It was SOO cute on. I really wanted to keep it. But I couldn't justify the $78 price tag on it. Come on- it was 100% poly and looked like I could have got it at Forever 21 or something. So, back it went.
The last two items were this cardigan and a pair of charcoal pants? leggings? Not really sure. I liked the cardigan, but I already have a bazillion cardigans {one in that color, i'm sure} so negative. I might would have kept those pant things because they were super comfy and I could see me wearing them in the winter with a sweater and some boots. But they too were $78 and mama don't spend 80 bucks on a pair of pajama jeans.

What is nice about getting the clothes is that they give you styling suggestions. Usually it is a casual look and then a dressier look. That was pretty fun to look at!
I will probably do another one in the next couple of weeks- just because it kinda feels like Christmas when the box arrives!
