My First Stitch Fix: Treat Yourself Tuesday #18

Sharing is Caring:

Well we have made it through Monday, so that is good. You know what makes Tuesdays better though? Linking up with Becky for some Treat Yourself Tuesday!! Thanks Becky!!

So I finally did it! I ordered my first Stitch Fix. I have only been reading about this service on blogs for over a year probably. Seeing as I am terrible at fashion, I decided to give it a go. I filled out the extensive survey and I did not know how they would do as I didn’t like many of the options of styles. I really am just a simple person and would love to either live in my workout clothes or jeans and a t-shirt, but sometimes I like to dress up a little more and have something new, but finding it can be quite the battle.

I have to say I was pleasantly surprised with my first Stitch Fix. I had mentioned some of my favorite colors and that I wanted some work shirts and a dress.

I received 2 blouses and a skirt.

I loved the color of the blue V neck, but it was super loose and too big, so I returned it. The black blouse was cute and fit pretty well, but I already have a similar black shirt and the price was too much.

Honestly, I am not a fan of skirts. As soon as I saw it, I knew I would return it, but I did try it on. It was also too small.

I also received 2 dresses. I thought the blue printed dress was cute, but was not a fan of the V cut out in the front (which you can’t really see in the pic) and couldn’t see myself wearing it.

Then the one item I kept is this purple faux wrap dress. It is a slip on dress so no zippers (I hate zippers on dresses because they never work well for me lol). I would never have picked this out on my own at the store but it was fun to try something on and see that it looked pretty good. I love the length for the weather right now and think it will be great for an event or just walking on the beach. The price wasn’t too bad at $68 which was another thing I was worried about with Stitch Fix. I don’t shop much and tend to buy things when they are on sale or when I really need them. I think this dress will be something I can wear to a few things I have coming up so I know I will get my money’s worth.

I am not planning to do stitch fix each month and not sure when I will order from them again, but it was fun to receive the package at my door and try things out of my comfort zone. I think when I have events coming up or seasons are changing maybe I will try the service just to expand my wardrobe a bit.

So Stitch Fix was a fun treat for this month. I also ordered some About Time Protein powder and the new Hilary Duff CD.

Unfortunately my package came one day too late for my road trip as I was hoping to have this CD for the car ride. I know no one buys CDs anymore. I haven’t updated my ipod in years. Most of the time I listen to Pandora on my computer when I am home or the radio when I am driving, but I like to have a few CDs for the car as well.

I also made an “emergency” run to Target on Sunday for a new watch. I know it is bad, but I can’t live without wearing a watch and knowing what time it is. The last time my watch broke because it got too much water in it, I had to drive to Target that night to replace it, not kidding! I don’t like to rely on my phone and like having a watch on my wrist. The strap on my watch finally cracked. I think I have had it for over 2 years. I wear it 365 days a year and sometimes sleep with it on. My wrists are so tiny (I can put my thumb and pinky finger together and that fits around my wrist), finding a watch that fits is hard, so I love the Target sports watches. Goodbye old, hello new!

 

Besides that, my 4^th of July trip (which I will finally post more about Thursday) had many food treats, but most importantly, Tim Horton’s. The only time I will eat donuts and bagels, basically, and their iced tea is the best!

 Do you shop a lot?

Are you good about going out of your comfort zone and finding clothes?
