I really should have titled this post as “Ode to a Little Blue Dress”.
Because really, you will see other items of clothing in this post but I think you will agree with me that it really is all about a little blue dress.
Now to make sure you aren’t confused, I’m talking about the contents of my April Stitch Fix (and third Fix ever). Stitch Fix is a personal stylist company that hand picks 5 items based on your style and size. You get assigned your own stylist (Hi Melissa!), and she gets to know your style based on your Pinterest fashion board, style profile you fill out online, and feedback you leave on your previous fixes. In turn she hand picks out pieces she think will make you look – and feel – great and sends them to you along with styling advice and a personal note. Love that part so much!
You can sign up for monthly fixes or just schedule them whenever you’re feeling in the mood. You also fill out a note your stylist reads before putting together your fix. This note is where you can request certain types of clothing you may be needing. Once you get your five pieces you have three days to try on the pieces at home and then you send back whatever you don’t want to keep in a prepaid envelope.
So really, let’s get to it, shall we?
I didn’t ask for very particular pieces this time. I like the element of surprise! I just asked for fun, bright, transitional pieces for spring. Melissa nailed it – while also introducing me to new trends and pushing me a little in my style.
19 Cooper | Rosetta V-Neck Top
Oh beautiful green, flowy, patterned shirt, I shall miss you. This is a perfect Megan shirt. Everything about it was just for me. Looked great, felt great, but at the end of the day the only thing it didn’t fit was my budget. Also, it was very blouse-y and felt a little big (it’s a medium and I have since changed my size in my style profile to a small since it seems all their shirts run big) so I couldn’t justify the price tag on this one. But Melissa, keep sending me things like this because this is called stylist perfection.
Returned
Daniel Rainn | Eliza Crochet Shoulder Blouse
Looking at this initially I thought it was not my style and wouldn’t look good. Lo and behold the beauty of trying things on. The color was perfect for me; I need to remember that baby blue is a darn good color for redheads! The crochet on the shoulders initially turned me off but I actually really liked that detail. However, the pleat in the front was not flattering on me. It definitely looked like a maternity top on my figure. Once again, this felt a little big which confirmed my decision to change my size to a small.
Returned
Bay to Baubles | Libby Lace Border Earrings
These earrings were pretty and I liked the lacey look to them. However, I thought they looked a little cheap and I prioritize my spending on clothes before jewelry.
Returned
RD Style | Jennika Open Cardigan
Ok, this one threw me for a loop. I asked Melissa for fun, different, transitional pieces, and I think this fits on every account. However, it does not fit my style. It goes very boho and that’s just not my look. I might have been more open to this if it were not crocheted and was a solid piece. I can see how it could be the perfect summertime sweater to bring to air-conditioned restaurants and such. It just wasn’t very Megan. I liked trying it though!
Returned
Uttam | Lauren Printed Dress
Now, what we’ve all been waiting for! The little blue dress! Do you hear the trumpets sounds as I wear this? Cause I sure did! It was like everything came together to make this dress and Megan meet. The fit, the color, the pattern, the waist, the neckline, the price. Bingo! I love, love, love, love this dress and know it will work for so many occasions: my sister’s law school graduation in SoCal I’m talking to you (oh – and some random day at work – I’m also talking to you – and how about the girls weekend coming up in a couple of day)! See? So much wear is going to come out of this dress.
KEPT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There it is – my April (and third) Stitch Fix review. What do you think? Should I have kept other items? Shocked I didn’t keep that green shirt?
If you are looking to score some beautiful spring pieces I highly recommend signing up for Stitch Fix. I’d also love if you used my referral link. 🙂 Happy spring fashion!
Want more Stitch Fix? Check out my first and second fix too!
You got a great “fix”! I love that dress and know you are going to really enjoy it. I think it should definitely be in your suitcase for Haven. The blouse looks great but if the price is wrong, I don’t blame you for sending it back. I had a blouse in my last box that I loved but it was way over my budget. I’m hoping a fix will be at my door when I get home today.
Oh that’s so exciting Paula! I can’t wait to get home when I know a box is waiting for me! I also thought the same thing about the dress – you know it is Haven bound! Just what night to wear?! Their blouses definitely can get over what I want to spend on a shirt. It was the same price as the dress!
I loved the white crocheted sweater. I get that it is not for you, but I would’ve kept it for ME!!!!!
The dress is adorable. Nice choice.
That’s awesome that you would have loved the sweater! I definitely saw that it could be an amazing piece for someone – like you! Thank you for the nice words about the dress. I do love it so!
I just tried my second fix, and I totally agree that the items run too big! Also, a dress I really loved was made poorly, which I was sad about. I kept a fun necklace this time though!
I heard they do vanity sizing in their clothing. Not sure how I feel about it. But I guess once you get your size down though it works. That’s too bad about the dress. Sounds like the necklace was good though so not all was lost!
My next fix is supposed to arrive tomorrow, so I peeked at what I was getting and saw that I’m getting that baby blue top, which is what led me to your site via pinterest. I actually LOVE your whole fix but agree with you on what you kept and returned. I would’ve never picked up that white cardigan for myself, but it looks so spring-y and comfy. I’d be interested in that in the future. That dress is perfect on you! So glad I found your blog! Hoping to continue following along. 🙂
Hi Erica! Yay! Thanks so much for stopping by. I am so excited for you to get your next fix. I will be interested in how you like the baby blue top. I LOVED the color! The white cardigan also intrigues me. Sometimes I wish I had kept that one because it could be awesome! My next fix comes in May and I am already excited about it! Hope yours is great!
All of your outfits are great! Loving the dress and I loved the green top as well!
Thank you Wendi! That green shirt is definitely the “one that got away”! 🙂
