Stitch Fix Review #6

Happy Short week! You probably know this by now...but I'm a shopaholic-like big time. Ask anyone...I have a problem. However, because I have referred so many friends to Stitch Fix, I keep getting free clothes. You can do the same thing...sign up (for free)..share your link on your Facebook and every time a friend signs up and orders, you get $25 in store credit. I have referred 31 friends...so that's $775 in free clothing...so yea. Check it out. CLICK HERE!  I loved my fix this time...



Navy Blue Collective Concepts Dress - When I first looked at it...I was like..eh. Then I tried it on. It's so comfortable and perfect for every season. I also feel confident in it...so yeah, I'm keeping it. 


Black & White Papermoon Dress - I love this dress. I wanted to keep it...but it looked better on my friend Theresa...so she is keeping it! It's very comfy and stretchy. Again, perfect for all seasons. 


Ivory Papermoon Blouse & Burgundy DL1961 Jeans - Undecided on the top...but I may just keep it. The Burgundy Jeans are WAY overpriced. Even with my store credit, I still wouldn't consider buying them. Jeans are going back- BYE FELICIA!


19 Cooper Misla Tie-Neck Blouse - This is totally my style, but I'm going to return it because I already have something like it in my closet. It's adorable but I just don't need it.

50 thoughts I have had during an exercise class.

I consider myself to be a relatively healthy person. I workout 2-3 times a week and then sometimes go months without even thinking about exercise. I eat healthy but make sure I have something chocolate involved at least once per day ….and maybe my occasional McDonalds fries twice a year. THEY ARE REALLY GOOD YAY SWEET AND SOUR SAUCE-don’t judge; but kale and blueberries are favorite, so that’s a good sign. I prefer to exercise alone because I feel more confident and don’t hold back. When I exercise with a group of people…my mind begins to wonder and the thoughts are not only endless, but also slightly bi-polar.  Please see below:

50 thoughts I have had during an exercise class:

  1. Do I really feel like taking this class? There’s still time to turn around.
  2. No, I need this. Remember…Dream body…Dream body…Dream body…AND ENDORPHINS!
  3. Okay, I’ll pick this spot…it’s close to the front…but close to the exit as well.  
  4. Ooooo I like her pants. I really need to ask her where she got those.
  5. Oh crap! We’re starting…I should drink a lot of water before it gets too crazy.
  6. Does my hair look okay? Wait..who cares, I shouldn’t care about that right now. Why do I care? Why am I still thinking about my hair? Stop thinking about your hair! Ugh, this is totally going to fall out mid class…I still have some time to make it tighter.
  7. Okay, this class is pretty easy. I can do this. Only 40 minutes to go. I can do this. Yea, this is super easy; I totally look like I know what I’m doing.
  8. Yay! I’m sweating. Goal accomplished.
  9. Okay, I’m a little out of breath…but that’s normal.  Nothing to worry about at all.
  10. Wow, my heart is starting to beat incredibly fast. That’s normal though…nothing to worry about.
  11. Okay…I’m worried, my heart rate is very fast. I can feel it and hear it.  This can’t be safe.
  12. Maybe I should stop and check my heart rate.
  13. No, people will think I’m paranoid and I can’t allow anyone to know the truth about that.
  14. But really, her pants are so cute! As soon as this class is over…I am finding out where she got those!
  15. Okay, why is this class so hard for me, yet everyone else seems to not be challenged at all?
  16. Seriously, this was supposed to be a beginners level class.....
  17. I’m hungry.
  18. Thank God; that girl to my left is really struggling, at least I’m doing better than one person in this class. Oh God, what if I look like that too?
  19. Okay, stop being insecure…you aren’t the center of the universe and no one even knows you’re here. Calm down.
  20. Okay, someone definitely farted… People are gross. I love people, but right now…I hate people.
  21. Ooooo she’s really doing great-I’m going to watch her so I can get on her level.
  22. CRAP! We made eye contact…maybe I should just quickly look away. Yes, that’s how it has to be done.
  23. Am I breathing too loud?
  24. Okay, maybe I’m just dehydrated. I’ll drink some water.
  25. Great. I’m out of water.
  26. I’m sorry, but how the hell can this instructor talk and workout simultaneously.. was she born with an extra lung?
  27. Where did she get all of this energy? Maybe she actually sleeps 8 hours per night.
  28. That’s it! I’m going to bed at 9 tonight.
  29. Wait no I can’t…I am supposed to finish Orange Is The New Black tonight.
  30. What do I want for dinner? It should be healthy. CHIPOTLE?! Yes.
  31. I wonder how many calories I’ve burned so far. But really, what is a calorie? I know it’s energy and blahblahblah, but what does a calorie even look like? Okay, I’m over it.
  32. Ugh, my heart rate can’t be safe right now. My heart is beating so fast.
  33. Am I dying?
  34. OMG, what if I died in this class?
  35. Okay, that’s not going to happen….I should research this on WebMD later.
  36. I’m never taking this class again.
  37. Seriously, it’s 2014, we shouldn’t have to work this hard to be fit.
  38. Wait, it’s 2015 now…WHY IS TIME MOVING SO FAST?
  39. What’s the meaning of life?
  40. OMG, not now…deep thoughts are not happening right now.
  41. Okay, thank goodness…we are finally cooling down.
  42. Ahhhh I love this stretch.
  43. I LOVE THIS CLASS.
  44. I am so happy this class didn’t kill me.
  45. I deserve ice cream. I’m getting ice cream tonight.
  46. I should totally be a workout instructor. Seriously.
  47. Wait no, because then people would have to look at me.
  48. THE CLASS IS OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!! I SURVIVED!!!!!!!
  49. This wasn’t difficult at all.
  50. Crap, the girl with the cute pants already left. Now I’ll never know.



 Welcome to my brain.

Stitch Fix Review #5

Happy Thursday aka almost Friday aka almost the weekend aka almost Monday aka do it all over again! I'm a very busy person and am also trying to save as much money as possible...but I'm a shopaholic-like big time. Ask anyone...I have a problem. However, because I have referred so many friends to Stitch Fix, I keep getting free clothes. You can do the same thing...sign up (for free)..share your link on your Facebook and every time a friend signs up and orders, you get $25 in store credit. I have referred 27 friends...so that's $675 in free clothing...so yea. Check it out. CLICK HERE!  I loved my fix this time. The stylist really listened to me. I asked for wedding related stuff...things I could wear on my honeymoon or a friend's wedding, rehearsal dinner etc. Thoughts on my fix?

Lissane Keyhole Halter Top 

 

I LOVE this top. It's red white and blue...so yeah...America...duh. It's also very comfortable. I think I'm going to keep this one...I just need to figure out how to wear it aka what bra to wear with it. Maybe a Bandeau?


Aaron Distressed Skinny Jean



 They are jeans. They are comfortable. They fit. I'm not going to keep them because I have too many jeans and these will just end up in the forgotten pile of clothes, because at the end of the day all I really wear is yoga pants and leggings. So...BYE JEANS!

Lex Textured Floral Knit Fit & Flare Dress


I can't believe I'm going to say this...but it's a yellow dress and I like it. This is a keeper! I'm going to wear it to my friend's wedding. But really, this is the only yellow thing I own now. 

Romford Stretch Lace Knit Top


This shirt had a lot of potential, but it's really big on me. Also, I don't like how the inner tank is attached...it just felt cheap. REJECTED! But...I love lace. So sad this didn't work out. Bye Felicia! 

Alona V-Neck Dress 



This dress is so comfortable. It's stretchy and feels like a t-shirt. I can't decide if I should keep it or not. This is really weird, but the pattern does this optical illusion to my eyes:




STITCH FIX-check it out




Have a great night! xo

Stitch Fix Review #4

Good evening! So...because I referred so many friends to Stitch Fix, and they used my link...my stitch fix was FREE this time. Yes, free. For each person that uses your link, you earn $25...and I've referred over 20 friends, so my store credit is insane. Thanks friends! 

I loved my fix this time. The stylist really listened to me. I asked for a combo of bohemian, business casual and spring attire. At first, I thought I was going to keep all of the items because I loved them so much, but unfortunately not all of the items loved me.

Renee C, Jordie Abstract Print Maxi


I'm in Love! This skirt is me. It's my favorite item in the fix. Extremely comfortable & can be dressed up for work or dressed down for a cozy beach day...except...I hate the beach. I'm basically a vampire - the sun melts me. Regardless, perfect for a beach day! Needless to say, I kept the skirt. 


Renee C, Annette V-Neck Blouse


                         

This is great. It is bohemian yet business casual, so I can be dressy at work and can feel like my colorful self. The pattern is intricate and looks neat from every angle. It can be worn with pants/leggings or tucked into a skirt. Although it's a little big, I kept the blouse. 


Pixley, Carissa Striped Fit & Flare Dress

                       

Sad story. I loved this dress when I pulled it out of the box...then I put it on. It's an awkward length-it either needs to be longer or shorter. Maybe I'm too short for the style. Although it was comfy, I think it aged me. What I did like about it...the pattern and the fact that it was fitted on the top and flared on the bottom. But....I didn't love it...so I sent it back. 

Kut From The Kloth, Danny Knit Pant



These pants are so comfy. The lighting is terrible but they are a charcoal color. Very stretchy. They are great for a business casual work environment and every day casual stuff. They feel like yoga pants...so yeah, I kept them. They were a little long, but that's expected because I'm the height of a 5th grader. I'm used to hemming pants. 


Fun2Fun, Emelle Lace Detail Tank



This shirt is weird. At first I loved it..then the more I looked at it..the more it started to annoy me. It's hard to tell in the photo, but that lace pattern in the center is completely see through. I could always wear an under shirt but then that's way too many layers in the summer. It was also a little big and the fit made me look preggers. It's safe to say that I didn't keep this item. It would look better on someone with small ta-tas. 


Stitch Fix is great because you only pay for what you keep. If you keep all 5 items, they take 25% off the entire order. They know what to pick out because you fill out an entire style and size profile and they check out your pinterest boards to get to know you. 


Love,
