My Fix is scheduled for next week, can't wait to see what I get! This time I specifically requested no pants, because both times they sent me a pair, and both times they didn't fit me well. Not their fault, really, I just have an odd shaped body so I have better luck with skirts and dresses.

 
Just got my newest fix.. not as wonderful as my last one, but not horrible. I guess my mood right now, is you win some, you loose some, and you can't always win.  If there's at least one piece i like, then I'm happy with my fix.  

Here are my 5 items: 

Item 1 - Brown skinny jeans.  (Jeans on in every try on photo)



Item 2 - chunky black sweater.









Item 3 - Boxy Multicolor Top.









Item 4 - Colorful Neck Tie Tank.







Item 5 - Seethrough black long sleeve button up.











So there they are.. sorry the photos aren't so great and ya - So far I've decided to keep the oversized sweater because it keeps me super warm, and surprisingly I don't have a plain black sweater.  I'm on the fence about the tank and possibly the brown jeans, and sending back the black long sleeve top and the short sleeve top. Thoughts? 

xo.

That sweater looks super comfy! Kind of hoping that I get the same one in my fix. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I think everything looks great on you! Do the black shirt and the tank have a high-low asymmetrical hemline? I really like the pattern of the tank and the fit looks good on you. I tend to prefer straight hemlines for myself, but everyone else I know loves the high-low hems. The jeans also look to fit you really well.
 
I seen this thread the other day and ended up joining.  I'm really excited.  Everyone's posts have been great and fun to read.  I have to wait until next month to join in on the fun.  The next available date for me to receive a fix was feb. 8.  I'll post when I get it though!

I love the jeans. I feel like brown is such an underrated color. It's flattering on most lighter skin tones, and super versatile. I love brown + turquoise together and could see the jeans paired with a turquoise sweater and nude boots. Or, in the spring, a light pink tank and gold sandals.

 
So out of curiosity, what kind of prices do y'all for things like pants, dresses, and tops? I typically get in my fix, pants at $90, dresses at $100, and tops at $60. The reason I ask is that with the exception of a few items, the quality seems questionable. I bought a dress and the stitching seemed loose. I don't want to look like I am bursting out of my clothes, especially on a $80 dress! Also, has anyone received name brand clothing? I sometimes wonder if that dress should be priced out at X dollars. Has anyone every complained to them about the quality of their items?

 
@trin0183 - I've received a bunch of nice name brand items, mainly from tart. I haven't had any issues with quality, but I've seen other girls post that the customer service is very helpful and will price match if you find an item cheaper somewhere, or if someone got it previously and it was priced cheaper.

Can't wait to see what you get in your 1st fix!
 
@trin0183 I am also curious as to what the other ladies have their prices set at. I think I initially had my tops, bottoms and dressed set at $50 - $100. After my 1st fix, I wasn't overly impressed with the quality, it wasn't terrible, but it also was not great. So for the one I'm scheduled to receive on the 28th, I set them to "the cheaper the better". I keep going back and forth on whether I want to keep it at that or change it back. I guess I'll try it on that and see what I end up with.

I have had mixed experiences with the quality of their clothing, especially their in-house 41Hawthorne brand. I paid $68 for a 41H blouse and there was a hole under the arm after one wear (and I work at an office, so I wasn't doing anything physical to cause the material to rip). I paid $48 for the Abrianna cardigan and after a few wears it is basically a pill-y mess (wonder if anyone else has this issue with that cardigan? I know it's a favorite of theirs to send out!), AND it got a pull the first time I wore it. 

However, I've had great customer service on both above issues - the blouse they had another one of, so they shipped out a replacement blouse on 2 day priority and also sent me a shipping label so I could send back the damaged piece of clothing at no cost to me. The replacement blouse has had quite a few wash and wears and no issues. The Abrianna cardigan, when I emailed about the pull, they said they didn't have any replacements but offered either a full refund to my credit card if I wanted to return it, or a $20 credit to my SF account if I wanted to keep it. The cardigan is so soft that I opted to keep it, but I was disappointed at how pill-y it got after a few wears. At $28 I'm not too bothered by it but at the full $48 I would have been irritated. 

The other things I've kept have been Kensie jeans ($88), an Under Skies sweater ($48), a Mystree blazer ($68), and a Sweet Rain dress ($48). All I've worn multiple times and with the exception of the blazer, washed in the machine multiple times, and have had no issues with quality. On this items, I found similar items online that were originally the same cost, but had been marked down on sale. The SF prices were comparable to the original retail prices, but not the sale prices. But again - they weren't exact matches. 

I think for future fixes, I'm going to steer clear of the 41Hawthorne, as those seem to be the pieces that give me trouble. 

 
I have most of my set to "the cheaper the better," with the exceptions of dresses and outerwear. I've gotten two fixes so far and have kept a total of seven items. All of the have been worn a couple times by now and are still going strong. No pilling, no bad seams, no holes. I've been impressed with my experience but maybe I've just been lucky.

 
I haven't received my box yet, but it has been shipped. I like the bird printed blouse and i think i will like the tribal blouse. I don't think the other 3 are for me. the surprise is fun! I will try to post pictures.

I just received a shipment notification for my 2nd fix! Woohoo! I was in love with my 1st fix and kept everything! I googled all of these, and everything looks ok except for the cardigan. I can't wait to see everything in person though! I'll post pictures once it arrives!

SOPHIA SKINNY JEANS

ANGELINE AIRY KNIT OPEN CARDIGAN

MONI STUD DETAILED 3/4 SLEEVE BLOUSE

DELLORA V-NECK BIRD PRINTED BLOUSE

FILBERT 3/4 SLEEVE POPOVER BLOUSE

 
My third fix is scheduled for next week and I can't stop thinking about it. I guess that means it's a great service!!

 
I got my 2nd fix yesterday, and I can't decide what to keep!

1. Sophia Skinny Jeans ($88.00) - too small :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> so I can't keep them!
2. Moni Stud Detailed 3/4 Sleeve Blouse ($58.00) - so cute! This is definitely a keeper!



3. Dellora V-Neck Bird Printed Blouse ($28.00) - This is one I'm unsure about. They sent me a bird-print blouse last time, and it's my favorite piece! This one just isn't as flattering, but I do love the print!



4. Filbert 3/4 Sleeve Popover Blouse ($58.00) - This one will be great for casual days at work, and just casual wear in general. But $58.00 seems like a lot for this pretty simple top!



5. Angeline Airy Knit Open Cardigan ($78.00) - Expensive piece! But I think this will be great to wear over tank tops/sleeveless dresses at work in the summer. It's light, but covers my shoulders! It looks much better over fitted items. This might be a keeper too!



 
Great fix! I love the sweater! I also really like the studded shirt you're keeping as well and the bird print blouse, from the picture, it looks like a flattering fit...but if you kept a similar print from your last fix than it may not be worth it. Thanks for sharing, I love seeing what everyone else receives!

I have requested that stud detail blouse like three times - lol!! We'll see if it makes its way into my February fix. I love it so much. And it looks great on you! 

The bird top I don't think is the most flattering when compared to the other tops, and if you kept one with a similar print last time, that's definitely worth considering. It is a good price though! I think it depends on how different it is from the similar top you kept. 

I really like the popover blouse - I think it very flattering on you and a beautiful color, as well! 

I really like the cardigan, too, and it looks like it would easily transition from winter to spring!

My rankings would be: stud detail blouse, cardigan, popover blouse, bird blouse. 

Let us know what you decide! :D /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
