Stitch Fix Review September 2016

 

Stitch Fix Review September 2016: What I loved, what I'm keeping, and what you should request (plus a giveaway)!

Stitch Fix Review September 2016: What I loved, what I'm keeping, and what you should request (plus a giveaway)!Well, school has begun and we're officially thinking about fall style.  As I mentioned last month, I changed my style requests……and I'm SUPER excited to share this Stitch Fix review.  What was I looking for? Casual workwear……..I actually gave a lot of specifics.  I asked for dolman tops, light blouses that hit at the hip, colored pants, and dresses that are elementary school teacher appropriate.
Stitch Fix Review September 2016: What I loved, what I'm keeping, and what you should request (plus a giveaway)! How cute is this dilys keyhole back top?Like last month, my review is a bit mixed.  There were pieces that were total home runs, and pieces that I felt like I would NEVER wear.

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.

So what did I get in my September Stitch Fix delivery?

Stitch Fix Review September 2016

Dilys Keyhole Back Top (size medium, $54, kept): This top is one of my favorite Stitch Fix pieces EVER.  It's comfortable, super flattering, and hits at the hip…..so long enough to be modest for work.  The colors will transition to fall perfectly. I've already worn it a number of times!

Theresa Pave Open Shape Drop Earrings ( $28, kept): When I first opened my Stitch Fix box, I was a little apprehensive about receiving earrings.  I have plenty.  Did I REALLY need more? Of course, they coordinated perfectly with my Dilys Keyhole Back Top.  Plus, they were a simple shape that I knew I'd get a ton of use out of…..and that price? I just didn't have the heart to send them back. 

Liverpool Anita Printed Skinny Pant (size 10, $78, returned): I have to admit, a part of me still regrets sending these adorable pants BACK.  They fit like a dream, and I could totally imagine wearing them to work.  But, I have a similar pair…..and I was trying to stay within budget.  I will say, if you are pear shaped it's often hard to find pants that don't leave a gap at the waist.  This cut? PERFECTION.  I asked my stylist to send the same pants in a different print or color if available next month. (see the item by clicking HERE)

Loveappella Loma Knit Dress (size medium, $68, returned): Now, this dress? Is where my stylist lost me.  I just don't wear shorter dresses to work.  Anything above the knee? Not realistic.  Plus, the fabric was VERY thin.  Would it be cute for a weekend, casual dress? Maybe, but that wasn't what I asked for. (see the item by clicking HERE)

Loveappella Textured Knit Top (size medium, $48, returned): So this shirt? I have to admit, I barely even tried it on.  The texture and color? Not for me.  It's extremely tight fitting, and hit at the top of my hips.  It would be adorable on a different body type, but I didn't like it at all. (see the item by clicking HERE)

    I love that top you picked! Bummer about the pants but it’s always so hard to decide. I haven’t had a fix for a while but hope to do another one, maybe a couple months after baby #2 is born.

It includes ebooks, audiobooks, games and movies (I’ve talked a TON about the books and audiobooks that are included, so I’m excited to share a math⠀option).⠀⠀Our current favorite multiplication games:⠀⠀1️⃣ Multiplication Memorizer⠀⠀2️⃣ Multiplication Kids⠀⠀3️⃣ Pinkfong Fun Times⠀⠀Now, anyone in your house?

The way I laughed out loud when I spotted this lit The way I laughed out loud when I spotted this little area during our day at Knott’s Berry Farm……. (teachers, you get it right?!?)I mean, HAD TO TAKE A PHOTO (or 20). This weekend was the start of Peanuts Celebration at Knott’s Berry Farm and we spent a day immersed in all things Snoopy.  From the rides in Camp Snoopy to the adorable new shows to the ACTUAL PIGS in Pigpen’s Pig Pen there was so much to do…..I’m so glad that Knott’s invited us to check it all out!Now, who is YOUR favorite Peanuts character? (Lydia’s is Sally, she’s actually playing her in a school play TODAY — the timing, right?) @knottsberryfarm #knottspeanutscelebration
✨ Happy 100th Disney!✨⠀ ⠀ 💜The people a ✨ Happy 100th Disney!✨⠀⠀💜The people are the magic.  Yesterday was filled with friends and food and fun and feet (sore ones after walking around from dawn to way past dusk)…….and as Lydia and I tucked ourselves into bed last night……I felt so much gratitude.  Our happy place has brought so much joy into our lives and so many people that enrich each moment.⠀⠀✨The Disney 100 Celebration will be happening ALL YEAR, and I feel like we still have so much to see and do.⠀⠀💜Favorite Moments and Experiences from our day one of Disney 100:⠀🚂riding Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railroad: I avoided ALLLLLL spoilers (there are some in this carousel btw), and had seen NONE of the attraction until we stepped into the queue…. it was absolutely adorable and I can’t WAIT to ride it again, plus when we exited the ride…..some of the team that created it were at the exit and seeing their smiles? ABSOLUTE DISNEY MAGIC.⠀🌅seeing the sun rise over the castle bright and early⠀💕running into friends every 5 minutes, it felt like a giant reunion⠀👗characters in their costumes, not going to lie….we didn’t wait in lines for them….they were length, but we gave a wave as we walked by and they looked stunning⠀⠀✨When is your next Disney trip???
🏰Dreaming of Dancing in Front of the Castle for 🏰Dreaming of Dancing in Front of the Castle for Spring Break?🏰⠀⠀📷A few castle photo tips:⠀1️⃣side, not center……both sides of the castle have lovely little spots that provide a great view of the castle and moat, but avoid the crowd (plus you can get some nice flattering light into the mid morning or in the late afternoon)⠀2️⃣want to be closer to the front? Sit on the back of the benches built into the moat entrance, you’ll be a bit elevated, it gives a great angle and a better view of the castle herself ⠀3️⃣if you REALLY want that walking into the castle shot…..this is something you can do during early entry time if you are staying on property ⠀⠀🧳Now, let’s talk Spring Break tips in collaboration with @themeparkfrog :⠀🚨This is IT.  Red alert.  If you’re hoping to visit the Happiest Place on Earth for Spring Break….BOOK IT NOW.  Spring Break is around the corner, and the more you plan, the happier you’ll be (trust me).⠀⠀To do (in order):⠀1️⃣book your hotel, theme park tickets and rental car: for the best deal, you can do this as a bundle with Undercover Tourist (you’ll save a TON this way….I’m sharing more in stories)⠀2️⃣once you have your trip dates….book dining.  At Disneyland you can book 60 days in advance (which means, NOW and coming up very soon for Spring Break).⠀3️⃣ If you want to do something special like the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, you can ALSO book that 60 days in advance.⠀⠀✨So, are you ready? Blue skies, sunshine, and Disney Magic guaranteed. What are YOUR spring break plans?
