It caaaame. My first shipment from
Stitch Fix showed up this week. Such a great idea, as far as I'm concerned. I like to think I've always had pretty decent taste in my head but I've never actually been able to translate it to life. Not that I would have the time or money or patience to try to make that happen anyway. Nope, it's pretty much mom-standard (just this side of bum) around here these days. That doesn't mean I don't want pretty things.
That's what makes it so awesome to open my front door to find a tidy little box filled with beautiful things picked out by someone who actually knows what they're doing. With the $20 fee credited toward any purchase I make, it's definitely worth the price. They even include a tag on each item with pictures of different ways to wear them.
The first time out, I received a crocheted tank, a long black deep cut shirt, a really cute orange tank, some boot tights, and some fancy pants gold earrings. It's funny how little I seem to know about my own taste. The crocheted tank and the black shirt were both something I definitely would have walked right by in a store. I liked them both a lot when I tried them on though, much to my surprise. I ended up sending the first back because it was just a little too big in the wrong places but I was sad to see it go. The black I actually kept. The orange tank was right up my alley, something that would have ended up in a dressing room with me if I saw it on my own. On, however, it just wasn't right. I'm all torso and it was just too short. The tights went back because it's summer and I don't actually have any boots right now, so it seemed like a pointless purchase. If I find myself in need of them in a few months, at least I know I like them and I can find them again. The earrings were adorable but Levi makes that impossible right now.
All in all, I was very impressed and happy with my experience. Not something I can afford to do all the time--though I would love to--but I will definitely be doing it again. Happy lady off to bed.
