It's a new month and time for a new Stitch Fix Review. Last month,
Stitch Fix #17 was a pretty good Fix and I kept 3 out of 5 items. This month, it wasn't so good and I only kept one item. It wasn't as if I didn't like anything; I actually liked everything. There were just two items I did not need at all, or the cut and fit wasn't quite right.
For this review, instead of reviewing one piece at a time per post, I'm gonna review four items in this post and then I'll review my fifth item next Monday.
First up, this denim jacket by Liverpool.
I can not say enough good things about this jacket. It is made of an "Extreme Stretch" denim so it is SO COMFORTABLE! My biggest beef with denim jackets is that they feel stiff and uncomfortable to wear. This one does not. It feels soft to the touch, and it moves and gives with you. BUT, I already own two denim jackets and I just couldn't justify spending $100 on another one, even if it's more comfortable.
I loved the blue color and fit of this jacket. It was SO HARD for me to send it back. 😢

Next up is a lovely white Calvin Klein top and Kut From The Kloth shorts. First I'll review the top.
I'm a sucker for white, especially white tops. I can't even begin to tell you how many white tops I already own. Yet, every time I'm looking in my closet for a white top to coordinate with an item, I never seem to have the right one. So when Stitch Fix sent me this white top I had a pretty good hunch from the minute I opened the box that this would be a keeper.
First, it's sleeveless: perfect for wearing under cardigans or jackets in the colder months, and cool enough to wear alone in the warmer months. Second, it's made of a jersey knit type of material, so it's comfortable and will not need to ironed. And finally, it has a great fit.
But perhaps the best reason for keeping this top is this gorgeous neckline. It has little pearls sewn into the V neck. Gotta love Calvin Klein for these great details. I kept another white shirt from Calvin Klein in my last Fix too. It also had great details.

Now to review the shorts. My stylist sent me these shorts because I pinned them on my Stitch Fix board. But I actually pinned an outfit, and I think I liked the top and bag more than the shorts. These shorts are pretty cute. I love the color and print. I also love that they are made of linen. I love the comfort of linen shorts. BUT, I just purchased a pair of solid red linen shorts so I really didn't think I needed these. I also felt the rise was too low and the length was a little shorter than I prefer.
The shorts have a elastic waist band. Because the rise is so short, it makes tucking in shirts difficult. And then because the length of the shorts is so short, if I left the shirt un-tucked, I felt you couldn't see much of the pretty print.

The next item in my Fix was a pair of sneakers. I must admit when I saw a shoe bag in my box I got so excited. I am such a huge shoe lover! But when I opened the bag and saw that they were sneakers, my heart sank. I really don't wear sneakers all that much; usually only if I know I'll be walking a lot when traveling. I just feel they make me look frumpy. Yet, I love them on every one else. But when I put them on, I feel like a frumpy housewife, so I try to avoid wearing them if I can.
I will say that these sneakers were SO COMFORTABLE. My stylist said they had a "padded footbed". I almost kept them for this reason alone, but I really didn't need them. I already own plenty of sneakers, and I hardly wear any of them.
They do have this interesting detail on the back. And another interesting detail is that the sneakers are "collapsible"; so you can easily throw them in a bag if you want to wear them to walk to work and change into other shoes later.
They really are super cute sneakers. I loved the chambray fabric. They actually were kinda hard to send back because ya'll know I'm all about comfort, especially for my feet, and I LOVED how comfortable these sneakers were. If I didn't already own about 50 pair of sneakers, I would have kept them. haha!

So, what do you think? Did I make the right decisions? I'd love to hear from you in the comments below.
Next Monday I'll review one more item from this Fix: a jumpsuit!
Have a Great Day! Amy
