Stitch Fix box #2

 I realized as I was snapping some quick photos for this post that I never shared my Stitch Fix Box #1!  I'll have to assume that's because box #1 wasn't a huge hit.  I liked most of the stuff in the box just fine but nothing really wowed me and I had been sent an assortment of much lighter/ summer weight tops that just weren't going to be helpful for me any time soon.

For box 2 I requested the same stylist since I did like what was in the box and requested more winter weight clothing.  I also gave feedback on the fit of all the clothes they had sent me and it really paid off.



I kept every single item from this box!  I debated about sending one article back but it was actually $1.50 cheaper for me to keep it and get the whole box discount so that settled my debate.

The first day I tried on my clothes I ended up wearing the first outfit I put together.  The jeans fit like a glove and were so comfy! I loved the ripped knees and the cute turned rolled hem.   I paired them with a white knit sweater that had these cute brown elbow patches.  And topped the outfit off with the navy quilted vest. 


The sweater is light weight enough that it can carry me through spring and is scooped in the front and back which will allow me to wear it with leggings too. 


The last two pieces that came in my box also paired well together.  I really liked the black & white sweater with it's cowl neck.  Again it has a scoop front and back that made it quite versatile and it's lightweight enough for me to wear through most of our spring weather.  For now I just wore a long sleeve black shirt under it.  




The belted/ quilted trench coat was the one item I debated about sending back. I loved the pattern and style but wasn't sure if I liked the style on me.  I'm not usually one for a belted waist since that just makes my hips look bigger but I really liked the asymmetrical zipper and the variety of ways I could style the neckline.  I could also see pairing this with a skirt or a dress for winter functions and like I said it was actually cheaper to keep it and enjoy the discount so that's what I did.  



I wore the rest of the items together as an outfit on my second day.

      I had a few spring/summer tops in my first box and I did keep one that I can't wait to wear.

      I definitely skipped next month's box after spending so much this time around but I'm hoping to get a box in April with some spring things if our temps. finally warm up.

    Wow! You did get a great box! And yes, it you do the math it's often cheaper to keep everything then send one or two things back. That happened to me a lot when I use to get Fixes. I love the jacket. That's my favorite item in your box.

      Thanks! It is really growing on me. It helps that it has been a bit warmer and I need something lighter weight than my traditional snow coat.

    Giving lots of feedback truly is the best way to finally get a great box! I'm glad you gave your stylist a second shot. I have never received a pair of jeans I didn't love...I don't know what magic they have working but I"m here for it! haha

    I actually like that jacket the best! It is very fun with the asymetrical zipper! I think I would like those jeans for myself! Nice box!

    Joanne, you look FABULOUS in your outfits - I especially love the plaid coat on you (that was my fave!) If you ever get one of the big $100 coupons please send it my way. I recently wanted to try the box but the coupon I had expired. Especially after seeing what you got I would certainly give this a try! :-)

    You got really great pieces in this box, Joanne! I am glad that you decided to keep the coat because it is wicked cute! And I think the belted style looks great on you. I have a very high waist so I often have to move the belts up a bit so they are more flattering. I wonder if that would work better for you as well. Thanks for joining the Stylish Monday link party!

      It has certainly grown on me and is a nice soft coat that I think will carry me well into early spring too.

Favorite TV Shows Growing Up in the 80's and early 90's

Image
Do you remember the TGIF lineups on Friday nights? I can remember planning sleepovers and time with friends around TV Show lineups of our favorite shows... or else trying to set the VCR to record our favorite shows if we weren't going to be home. And through the years I had SO MANY favorites! Growing pains aired in 1985 which put me around age 8 and it stayed on the air until I was 15 or so; I'm pretty sure most people in my age group watched mostly for Kirk Cameron and all his antics.  I still have a soft spot for family sit-coms!  The Facts of Life aired when I was just 2  and stayed on the air until I was 11 so I'm sure the episodes I remember so fondly were either some of the later ones and then reruns shown later on when I was old enough to watch from the beginning. I think everyone would have loved an Edna Garret in their lives.   Benson another sitcom that began airing when I was just 2 and was done by the time I was 9 (another one I must have watched mai...

Things That Make Me Laugh

Image
I loved the challenge of this week's list for our 26 lists link up.  I don't know about you but I really need to laugh more lately.  It's such a great stress reliever. 1.  Books-- I love a good funny book that makes me laugh out loud.  I haven't read one in a while but if you have any recommendations I'm all ears.  The last book I can remember making me laugh was the Un-Honeymooners. 2  The boys being silly. 3.  Watching shows like America's Funniest Videos or Family Feud. 4. My husband.  Most people don't realize it but he's actually pretty funny and often makes me laugh. 5.  Whenever my sisters/ family get together and we get to reminiscing (particularly if my Aunt Elaine is around) we end up laughing so hard at all the old family stories that we are all in tears by the end of the night.  It's fabulous. 6. Movies like Mom's Night Out, Christmas Vacation, and Grown Ups make me laugh out loud. 7.  When my ...

Making Gift Card and Money Holders Using Scrapbooking and Cardmaking Supples

Image
I don't tend to keep a lot of crafting supplies on hand so when I saw this month's de-stash challenge I wasn't sure what I was going to make.  I finally realized that with so many of my Christmas gifts being cash and gift cards this year that I needed to make up some fun paper crafting/ creative ways to gift them.   I still want my nieces and nephews to have something to open so I pulled out my papers and stamps and made up some cute little money/gift card holders. They were much easier to make than I thought.  The first one I worked on was to hold some oversized Nintendo gift cards.  I made a standard sized card and folded down one corner of the card front.  Then I ran my double sided tape along the bottom an 1/2 way up the side creating a cute little pocket.  Finally I added some cute embellishments and ribbons.   Voila! A simple and easy gift card holder for those larger sized gift cards.  The bulk of the tweens and teens on my list j...

Making a Sugar Cookie "Gingerbread" House

Image
 Alec really wanted to try making his own gingerbread house this year without using a premade kit.  We talked about how we never really eat the house since they don't taste very good.  Years ago we gave up on the frosting that comes in the kit and began making our own so we thought perhaps we should try making our our house too. Only problem is that no one in the house likes gingerbread.  We talked about trying to make the house using a sugar cookie recipe.  Alec was so excited at that idea since he just LOVES sugar cookies.   He found a recipe online for a simple sugar cookie recipe and mixed up the dough.  He rolled it out an cut it to the size of our cookie sheets-- we had read that it's easiest to cut the house pieces out after the dough has been baked and is still warm and soft because then you don't have to worry about any of the pieces losing their shape while baking. I had picked out a simple cookie cutter set on Amazon and as soon as the ...

Dollar Store Candy Cane Wreath

Today I am linking up with some fellow bloggers for a Dollar Store craft challenge.  I don't often participate in these challenges since I try to stay away from our local Dollar Stores; I find they can be quite dangerous for me!  I knew this was the perfect time to find some inexpensive holiday decorations though and I just LOVE how my wreath turned out!  I hope you stop by and see what the other hosts are sharing. Meet this month's co-hosts! Across the Blvd | Purple Hues & Me This Autoimmune Life | Our Unschooling Journey Domestic Deadline | Sew Crafty Crochet Stone Cottage Adventures | Sum of Their Stories | Two Chicks & a Mom I bought the candy cane wreath base and a few rolls of mesh (not knowing how many I'd need I bought waaay to many; I only ended up using one white roll and one red roll.
