Stitch Fix Review December 2016

STITCH FIX REVIEW DECEMBER 2016: WHAT I LOVED, WHAT I’M KEEPING, AND WHAT YOU SHOULD REQUEST (PLUS A GIVEAWAY)!

Can you BELIEVE we are talking about December? I’m dreaming of holiday parties, hot chocolate and twinkling lights.  Last month’s Stitch Fix was a total home run, and I have to admit….I was over the moon excited to get this month’s. Keep reading for the December stitch fix review!

In case you aren’t already a Stitch Fix nut…….a bit about the service: Stitch Fix is a personalized styling service that sends five pieces to your doorstep.  The great thing? When you join, you fill out an extensive styling profile.  You can request certain items or even ask for options for a specific event.  You choose how often you get a fix (for me it’s once a month).  In the comfort of your own home, you try on all items.  Then you keep what you love, and send back the rest…..and all with free shipping!  There is a $20 styling fee, but you can use that $20 as a credit towards any of the items you keep.  And YES, you can set a price range you feel comfortable with. 

One thing I love about Stitch Fix? It makes an amazing holiday gift……a Stitch Fix gift card? The perfect way for loved ones to pick out EXACTLY what they want!  If you are anything like me…..a Stitch Fix gift card is at the top of your list……..so be sure to scroll all the way to the bottom because I’m teaming up with some of my fellow Stitch Fix lovers to giveaway a $1,000 Stitch Fix Gift Card!

So…..what did I get in my December Stitch Fix?

Stitch Fix Review December 2016

RD Style Jasen Poncho Pullover (size medium, $78, kept): This sweater? My newest obsession.  It’s the perfect length.  Those sleeves are attached, and I just layered a light tank under it.  In cooler temperatures, you could easily wear a thermal underneath.  So cute, right?

Read more now!Le Lis Audrie Knit Lace Dress (size medium, $74, kept): I was hoping I’d receive a not too expensive holiday dress in my fix……and this one? Totally fit the bill.  It fits like a dream and is classic enough to keep for years to come!Stitch Fix Review December 2016 by Lipgloss and CrayonsBancroft Alton Hammered Oval Earrings ($28, kept): Simple gold hoops? Something I didn’t have, and something I needed….plus you can’t beat that price!Stitch Fix Review December 2016 by Lipgloss and CrayonsDaniel Rainn Lamira Woven Detail Knit Top (size medium, $58, returned): This shirt sort of underwhelmed me.  The color? I loved.  The fit? Was ok.  But it just didn’t seem excited enough to justify the price.

41 Hawthorn Abrianna Longsleeve Knit Cardigan (size medium, $48, returned): I have to be honest, this cardigan was my least favorite thing I’ve gotten in awhile.  It wasn’t very flattering.  I’m also not a big cardigan person.

HOSTED
I did it.⠀ ⠀ 🛏I spent Saturday night blissf I did it.⠀
⠀
🛏I spent Saturday night blissfully alone at a local hotel.  And now? I want to talk about it.  I was floored by the varied reactions when I mentioned doing this last week.  A lot of people seemed to love the idea, but a solid amount? Asked why.  Said it was a waste.  Said it was “too much”. So let’s unpack that.⠀
⠀
🛏First of all, of course different things are of value to different people.  This may not be of value to you and that is OK.  For me? After a year of staying at home here in California (and yes, it’s still going here with full time virtual school for Lydia)…..I felt like I needed an evening alone to decompress, to rest, and to be more present for my family.  I watched a million episodes of Scandal (how did I never watch this show??), got take out delivered, slept in, and it MADE A HUGE DIFFERENCE.⠀
⠀
🛏Does it make me a bad mother? A bad wife? Irresponsible with money or time? To spend an evening alone? That’s sort of what society tells us, right? And truth be told, I almost cancelled.  Was it too much? Was I being dramatic? Or ridiculous?  But the refreshed me today? Says it was just what I needed.⠀
⠀
🛏This is your daily dose of encouragement to take care of yourself and put your oxygen mask on first so you can truly be present for those you love.  I promise, it makes a difference. #troopselflove

❤️It’s Random Acts of Kindness Day…..and I have a question for you…….when was the last time you did an act of kindness for YOURSELF?⠀
⠀
💕I was talking on stories the other day about booking a hotel room to get away for a night this weekend.  ALONE.  The reaction was mixed.  Some said it was a great idea. Some said it was selfish or unnecessary. But, what if it’s simply to do something for myself?  What if it leaves me refreshed and more able to show up for those I love? That’s what kindness to yourself does.⠀
⠀
❤️I know, we can’t all escape for a night.  So these? Some easy acts of kindness that may work in your life and schedule:⠀
