Stitch Fix Review

Overall I thought it was WAY fun! I really liked everything in the fix when I opened the box. LOVE the scarf. But once I tried things on I had a few items I decided to send back because I didn't like the way they fit on me. For example the Glenn Cable Knit Sweater was too boxy and had too much extra fabric around my arms/sides which made me feel frumpy not cute. This style would probably look great on a skinnier person but I just felt like it added extra bulk where bulk was not needed!
First you go in and set up your profile. They have a ton of questions for you to answer to help them get an idea of what you would want. I created a Stitch Fix Pinterest board and left that for my stylist as well. I also asked for a skirt because I don't have any right now that I love. I should clarify I thought I asked for a skirt in the stylist notes, but when I went back couldn't figure out where the note when so I'm not positive. I did not get a skirt in my box though :( The pieces were more expensive than what I typically spend on clothes, but I kind of expected that thanks to a friends great review/recommendation so I saved extra cash just in case I loved pieces I got.

Here's what it looked like when I opened it:


Here are the pieces I received:




Also in the box are these handy styling cards:




Oops, didn't get a picture of the infinity scarf!




IF you keep all the items in your box you get 25% off I totally thought I would be getting the 25% off because I really did love every piece before trying them on. You pay $20 for the fix. If you decide to keep items from that fix the $20 goes towards the items you keep. You have 3 days to decide what you are keeping/returning. Then you go online and check out. During the check out process you rate each item.

Boys and MORE boys!

We found out on August 17th that we are having another BOY!!! Which is great...except we can't come up with a name that we both like to save our lives. This child may forever be known as Baby #4! Sorry son!
Savannah wanted a sister so bad! She was pretty disappointed.

New School Year

Here's to another school year! S is now in 2nd grade and B is in kindergarten. I was really worried about B going to kindergarten because he is so active and pretty much does want ever he wants. He's a sweet kid, but hard. So far kindergarten is going well! He even came home with a kelso catcher which is a green slip you get if you are caught being good/on task/etc. Then the slip goes in a drawing for a prize or something. I haven't quite figured out the kelso catchers but according to my 2nd grader they are a BIG deal.
Kindergarten!
