This is my second Stitchfix and I requested the same stylist as my first. With this box, I think that was the right decision because she's definitely getting a feel for my style.
I got the Sophia Skinny Jeans ($88) - I love how I've never been able to find a pair of skinny jeans that works on me but someone who's never met me before is able to find a pair that's flattering and fits! How does that work? These jeans were ultra-comfy but a bit long. That was what put me on the fence but I googled and found the same pair for $25 cheaper on Amazon! And I'll also check Nordstrom, thanks to this thread. So I'm sending these back.
Salvatore Crochet Detailed V-neck Shirt ($58) - When I pulled this out of the box, I thought I was going to hate it. I love crochet details but they're on the shoulders! The placement seemed a little awkward. But then I tried it on and the shirt looked great! It was comfortable and put a nice spin on a casual look. The crochet details on the shoulders weren't awkward-looking at all. I don't know if it comes through on the picture but it's actually a grey-purple color and looked nice on me. Unfortunately, I checked the label and it's dry clean only. You can handwash it but upon closer inspection, I realized the reason why dry cleaning was recommended is because of the seams down the front of the shirt. They're the kind that will fray with regular washing. I have no time for that! Sending back.
Colibri Solid Tab Sleeve Blouse ($48) - Another I thought I was going to hate. It's a blouse! Having seen this one show up in other StitchFix reviews, I was fairly sure I was going to swim in it. But this is why you try everything on. The hunter green was great and the fit was perfect. (Who knew?) It looked great with the Kensie skinnies, a pair of my own bootcut jeans, and a denim miniskirt! Tucked, untucked, I loved it. I knew it was going to be a keeper when I started accessorizing. This is going to be a versatile piece. Keeping!
Abrianna Longsleeve Knit Cardigan ($48) - I loved the color. This was the perfect spring piece. But while it fit great, it's just too long on me. If it weren't open in the front, it could have been a dress. Too bad. Sending back.
Sansa Dotted Chevron Print 3/4 Sleeve Dress ($48) - Cute dress except the V-neck is rather unfortunate on me. When I bend over, you can see straight to my belly button. Super awkward. I also don't like how towards the bottom of the dress, the pattern forms in a way that makes it look like there's a line? The photo shows what I mean. It bothered me. Sending back.
Looks like you received a nice fix. The crochet V-neck blouse looks nice. Too bad it's dry clean only. I see what you mean about the dress. It looks like there is a seam or something going across the bottom that breaks the pattern. Glad you found a few pieces you like though.
