Last Week

I was having phone issues like you would not believe last week, so I only got pictures of 1 outfit. But 2 new phones later, I am back in business!

These pieces are all several years old. Ella Moss leggings. Splendid top. The vest is Everleigh. The shoes are Pour La Victorie from last year. #realgirlcloset not #fashionbloggercloset ;)

Stitch Fix # 12 - September 2015 Review

It's that time again. Another Stitch Fix review. Let's start with the bad, and I mean BAD.

 

THML BRESEE SCOOP NECK TOP SIZE XS. Words cannot express how much I didn't want to show this one to ya'll. When I pulled it out of the box, my initial thoughts were something along the lines of "Wtf....what on earth did I pin that made them think I would like this....is that supposed to look like a vest?!" So, I pulled myself together, and tried to get in a good frame of mind before trying it on, but nope, it was every bit as horrible as I thought it would be. So, now that your eyeballs are writhing in pain from what you just saw, let's move on to the rest of the fix which was much better!

 

ALICE BLUE BRIELLE DRESS SIZE S. So I think we all can agree this is a yes? This is one I had pinned. It's comfortable, I felt good in it, I can see wearing it with heels, or ankle boots, with a cute jacket, with a hat, etc. The material is thick enough that even though it's white, it's not see-through at all. A keeper for sure!

 

SKIES ARE BLUE BOWES BUTTON DOWN TOP SIZE XS. If you've looked at my Pinterest, or my closet for that matter, you will know that I am a sucker for chambray, or anything denim. So, well you might be thinking to yourself, Amber - this top is really similar to the Anthropologie top you wore a few weeks ago here - I will invite you to take your logic elsewhere because I'm keeping this top!

MARKET & SPRUCE FIERRO ELBOW PATCH CREW NECK SWEATER SIZE XS. I'll admit, this one isn't anything over the top exciting (check out this awesome one I have pinned here ) , but I think with some grey skinny jeans and black ankle boots and a black hat it will be a good casual piece.

MARKET & SPRUCE ANGELO CARGO ANORAK JACKET SIZE S. I specifically requested an anorak jacket in a size small, as I wanted it to be comfy. I don't know why it matters but I love the polka dots inside this one. It's still in the mid 90's in Texas so I won't be wearing it anytime soon but whatever.
Now, here's the kicker, if I send back the eye burning horrible shirt, I will end up paying more than I would if I kept it (because of the 25% buy 5 discount). So, I kept my whole fix, including the awful shirt. If for some reason this shirt is your cup of tea, email me and it's all yours!



Friday!!!!

 

Well, I still haven't gotten around to the new Anthropologie stuff - maybe tomorrow ;)

I got this Holding Horses chambray shirt a few months ago at Anthropologie. The necklace I bought at Anthropologie on sale last week. The jeans are the Avedon Skinny Jeans by Citizens of Humanity. 

Thursday

 

This week is so weird. I really don't like skirts that much, AT ALL. And here I am wearing them 3 days in a row. This skirt is from Daily Look. I gave them a try a few months back. They have some cute, edgier pieces than what I typically receive from Stitch Fix, but their customer service was the WORST. I cancelled after 1 box. Anyways, on to happier things, I got this top at Nordstrom last fall. I was pregnant, so I couldn't wear it, so I was happy to put it on for the first time today. Shoes are Pour la Victoire.

Wednesday

 

 

Both of these pieces are from Stitch Fix. I'm thinking I received them around May of this year? The skirt is by Pixley and the top is Fate :)



Vacation, Respect for Bloggers, and an Outfit

So, a few weeks ago we went on vacation down to Galveston Island on the Texas Coast. It was tons of fun. We had kiddo's with us, so we did the Moody Gardens (the aquarium pyramid, the rainforest pyramid, Dino's Alive, and Sponge Bob Sub Pants). We went to the Kemah Boardwalk and fed the stingray's. And of course we played on the beach. I went with the intention of taking some great pictures to post on here, and when I got home, I realized I had exactly 2 pictures that didn't have my kids or our friends who came with us in them. That's where the respect for bloggers comes in. I am realizing more and more that you really have to have your blogging mindset switched on at all times. I could have gotten great pictures of the sunrise on the beach, or the boardwalk lit up at night, or giant stingrays, or dolphins jumping out in the water, or ANYTHING. But alas, I have failed you. I will try to do better on our next trip. In the mean time, here's the outfit of the day. A Pixley skirt I received from Stitch Fix earlier this year, and a Hinge shirt I bought at Nordstrom this time last year.

On a separate note, I went on a shopping 'spree' last week at Anthropologie. "Spree" meaning I spent about $750, but it's Anthropologie so I think I only came away with 6 items. I'll get some pictures posted later this week!
