Hello friends! It’s time for another Stitch Fix! The weather here the past few weeks have been so strange. One week we have snow, and lots of it, and then the next week everything melts and it starts to feel like Spring. I actually received this “fix” last week when we were covered in snow, and I wasn’t feeling very Springy. Today as I write this, it’s 70 degrees and beautiful! Maybe my Spring inspired fix meant that good weather was on it’s way. Either way, I’ll take it! 🙂 Have you signed up for a fix yet at stitchfix.com?
Here’s My March Stitch Fix:
Pixley Kathy Striped Fit & Flare Dress $68
This dress was cute, but I personally hate this type of neckline because it doesn’t really flatter a larger chest, but it was cute with a denim jacket. The back and shoulders of this dress were too big though and it felt awkward on. This is very similar to a dress that I probably should have kept from last year’s July Stitch Fix, which I liked more than this one. *Psss- Stylist Holly…I would buy that other dress now if I was sent it again! 😉
The Verdict: Returned
Brixton Ivy Kessie Faux Wrap Dress $64
I really liked the color of this dress, and because I love wrap type dresses, I thought this for sure would be a winner. It’s sleeveless, but the top part of the dress was actually too big. It hung and draped in spots making it very unflattering. Something about this made me feel like an old lady too…
The Verdict: Returned
Papermoon Iglesia Pleated Blouse $48
Oh, Lord. Where do I start with this one. I hated this one. I really, really hated this one. My daughter must have taken 10 pictures of me in this shirt and I look like I am 9 months pregnant in every.single.one! There was one picture we took that was more of a side view and my daughter said I only looked about 8 months pregnant in that one! lol. We have a lot of fun with these fixes each month and I hope you do too. If something doesn’t look right, it’s okay. Every body shape is different and I’ve learned to embrace my every changing shape because it’s me. This shirt however…it had to go! Cute pattern though.
The Verdict: Returned
Market & Spruce Soos Bar Back Cable Stitch Knit Top $58
Oh my goodness. I think I may have been overtired and a little grouchy while trying items on this month, but I had an issue with this top too. The back is fun, but it really wasn’t a style I felt comfortable in and although it fit nicely overall, it was falling off of my shoulders. It was sooo hot too! Even with snow on the ground, I felt like I couldn’t wait to get this one off. The color was also a little blah…
The Verdict: Returned
Market & Spruce Careen V-Neck Doleman Knit Top $48
I saved the best for last! I didn’t think I would like this shirt, but once I put it on I loved it! Again, I like stripes and that usually is not super flattering on a curvy gal like myself, but the v-neck cut was right and this was just so darn soft and comfortable. I paired this with my dark gray skinny jeans I kept from last month’s fix and I felt like myself. This will be so cute when traveling and it’s a perfect outfit to wear while we are in between seasons!
The Verdict: Kept
Are you getting ready to go away this Spring? Book a Stitch Fix for yourself!

You were right about every outfit. You look darn cute but they weren’t “I can’t live without” outfits. My body is similar to yours and I love seeing your outfits each month. I’m a Newby and waiting for my second stitch-fix. Not sure if I have the confidence to take pictures in my outfits, let alone with one hand. Take care and happy stitching.

Thanks so much Esther! My daughter takes the pictures, so at least I don’t have to do them with one hand. 🙂 It was really hard for me to put those pictures out there at first, but you know, you have to love yourself from the inside out and I figured if there was interest from my readers after my first few Stitch Fixes, then I would keep doing them. If not, I wouldn’t. I can’t tell you how many emails and comments I get each month thanking me for sharing my fixes because I look like a real person, a mom and someone who is trying to figure out this style thing. I stepped out of my comfort zone and I hope I can inspire others to do so as well, because everyone no matter what their shape or size is unique and beautiful in their own way and should feel that way too. I’m glad you are enjoying the fixes. I hope your next fix is great! Have a wonderful weekend:)

I second that. It was really nice to see something above a size 6 with a review; it helps me so much to see the fit of the pieces.
And I agree with the choices. Hourglasses are amazingly hard to shop for, especially when the upper half is abundant.
Thanks for posting!
