Stitch Fix August Review - Fix #11

Well, this is the most excited I had been when opening one of my fixes in quite a while. I liked the colors in this fix, and was excited to see that I received one of the dresses I had pinned (it seems like my pins are rarely available).

The first item I tried on was the Gilli Beville Dress size small. I'm still deciding on this one. I like the back of it. It's very comfortable. I could wear it for work, or with a denim jacket for a casual day. I'm just not sure about the front. Thoughts?

Next I tried on the 41Hawthorn Kassidy Printed Faux Wrap Dress size small. I was a little surprised to see this one, as I had seen it on the Stitch Fix blog as a suggested item for busty women, which I clearly am not. It is very work appropriate, but I wouldn't wear it anywhere else. This dress confuses me, as I feel like it makes me look wide from the front, but I look thin from the side, so I don't know! The tie is not attached on this one, so you could tie it at the front or the back, whichever you prefer.

Next up was the Fate Ruby Maxi Dress size small. I had pinned this one months ago. I really like this one. My only complaints are that it's soooo long, and that the back is open. Since I'm 2 kids into the game, going braless isn't really an option for me anymore, but I think with a lacy bandeau bra it might be okay. The dress is lined to the knees, and is very comfortable. I actually emailed Stitch Fix this morning to see if they have an XS available, so maybe that would help with the length issue. Again, I'm undecided.

 

I tried on the Skies are Blue Zayda Mixed Material Sweater size XS next. My stylist chose this as it is somewhat similar to an item I pinned here. I like this one. The detail on the back is nice. I feel like maybe it should have been a little bit bigger? But I do think I would get some use out of it if it ever cools down here in Texas.

Last up was the Market & Spruce Berg Pintuck Detail Top size XS. This one was cuter in person than it is in pictures. I think this is another piece that I could get some use out of. I could wear it for work, or with jeans and boots in the winter.

So I have no clue what to keep or send back out of this one. Isn't that weird? I'm going to sleep on it tonight while I wait for the response about the dress.

Morning update - they don't have the dress is an XS, but I'm going to keep it anyway, along with the sweater and printed dress.
The shirt and Gilli dress are headed back.
