How My Stitch Fix Sylist Became My BFF

So...I really wanted an end of school/beginning of summer fix and decided to lift my once a month fix ban.  I asked for a special kind of fix, just tanks.  Is that weird?  I don't know.  I had read where people asked for just jeans to find the perfect pair and so I thought, why not. While some of the shirts I got were more in the sleeveless category than the tank category, I still loved them all and felt like my girl delivered.  I said that I wanted to have another fix in July so I really did not want to spend too much money on any one shirt.  And let's face it, I am not spending $60 on a tank top, you know I'm not.  So let me share how it all worked out for me.

I had a great day Monday.  And I wasn't expecting to.  But I got a crazy amount accomplished and it took a lot of stress off me.  Then I got a text from my Tweenie..."Your fix is here".  This was sizing up to be the perfect day.

I swear peeking is the very best part.  First I look at one side...

 Then I look at the other...

And man, I was E.X.C.I.T.E.D.

Look at my excited face.

So if you have not followed my blog in regards to getting a fix, here's how it works...I get my fix.  I geek out.  I look at everything.  I geek out some more.  I look at the price sheet.  That looks like this.

In case you can't tell, that is anguish and fear over how much is it going to cost.

Then, before I start freaking out about what I can keep and what I can't, I try everything on.  Because some things might look good in the box but not good on my body or, they might not fit.  So, no, I am not going to start worrying about what to keep and what to send back until I get to this stage.

So...here goes.  I know you want me to shut up and show you the pictures already.

Item #1 - Pixley Brook Dot Print Tie-Waist Top - $44

I feel like Stephanie Y (that's my SF BFF, aka, my stylist), sees polka dot and is like, oh yeah, she'll buy this.  She's pretty much correct.  What's not to love about this shirt?  Beats me.

VERDICT:  KEPT

Item #2:  Daniel Rainn Angelika Crochet Detail Top - $64

      SSF BFF said she knew this wasn't a tank but it was mint and she thought I would love it.  It's still sleeveless, which is good enough for me.  Well played, SF BFF!  Again, what's not to love?

VERDICT:  KEPT

Item #3:  Aratta Millicent Split Back Top - $54

First of all, apologies on how wrinkled it is.  I can't be ironing clothes if I don't even know if I am going to buy them.  I don't even want to iron when I do buy them!

 




If that's not fun enough, look what the back does!

She actually saw this tank on my Pinterest board and sent it to me!  A first!

VERDICT:  KEPT

Item # 3:  41 Hawthorn Montgomery Cross Front Knit Top - $48

 




This is so comfortable, I could wear it to bed.  I love everything about this shirt.
VERDICT:  KEPT

You're not going to believe this, but it just keeps getting better.  I saved the best for last.

Item #5: Renee C Leela Racerback Top - $44

OMG....how much fun is this shirt?!

                    

Wait! There's more!

VERDICT;  KEPT

So, my total came to $50 over my budget.  But here's the thing, if you keep all of it, you get a 25% discount.  So, if you start picking and choosing, your aren't going to do as well.  (I mean, you don't want me to LOSE money in this thing, right?)  So I spent $34 a shirt basically, which isn't bad, even for a cheapskate like me.  Just help me explain to my hubs that I need a $50 loan until next payday. So, yeah, opps, I did it again.  No returns SF!

Did I mention I was going to Disney in October?  I mean, these are vacation tops right here people. Ok, I can't waste all night justifying this to you.  I gotta go find something to wear with my top tomorrow.
