I used to do Stitch Fix posts where I showed all the items I received in one Fix, but those are so much work and make huge posts, so I decided to just show one piece in a post at a time.
My February Fix was one of the best Fixes I ever received. In that Fix were two dresses, one top, a vest, and a pair of lavender skinny jeans. I LOVED everything in my Fix except the vest, but ended up keeping just the two dresses and top. In this post, I'm wearing the lavender skinny jeans I sent back.
I really loved these pants, and so did my husband. They fit me like a glove and they were super soft and comfortable. BUT they were $100 which was way too much money for a pair of jeans for me; especially in a color I wouldn't wear that often.
I styled the lavender skinny jeans with a tank top I bought from CJBanks (see another way I styled this top HERE).
For outerwear, I picked a black moto jacket (old, Forever 21), and I chose a black back pack bag (old, Kmart), and wore black shoes borrowed from my daughter.
It was so hard for me to send these jeans back. I just loved the color and fit.
For jewelry, I went with silver. I chose an elephant pendant necklace from Charming Charlies and some silver bracelets I picked up on our vacation to Missouri last fall.
My husband, who is my photographer, wanted me to try this outfit with a leather moto hat. A little edgy for me, but fun!
So what do you think? Did I make a mistake sending these pants back or would you have done the same thing because of the cost and color? I'd love to hear from you!

Thanks Laurie, I was so happy lavender is Pantone's Color of the Year. I think it's a gorgeous color.
DeleteSuch cute jeans and they really do fit you well! I know what you mean though, $100 is a lot especially for a pair that isn't a regular color.

Thank you, yes, if they were half that cost, I would have kept them!

Thanks Lee! I was in a hurry this morning and didn't see you were co-hosting. I think I'm already following you, but I'll double check. I love lavender! I need to add a lot more to my wardrobe.
DeleteThose jeans do look amazing! I would have a hard time paying $100 but also have a hard time sending them back.
ReplyDeleteThank you! That was my dilemma. I was so torn about sending them back.
DeleteWhat a beautiful color and they do look great on you and also loving how they match with the rest of the clothes. But I understand that you ended up sending them back. I'm a blue jeans type of person, so I would not justify spending that much money on different colored jeans either. It is a lot of money for a pair of jeans. Maybe you can find a similar pair for less!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ellie! I so agree! I'm keeping my eyes open for a pair.
DeleteLavender is a trending color right now and they look great on you! However, that is a lot of money to spend on a "trendy" pair of jeans so I totally understand why you sent them back!

Thanks Jessica, yes, it is a lot of money!
DeleteI have to say, you take some really good indoor photos!! That is something I haven't really tried, but I should... we have had such rainy and dreary weather lately. I LOVE these lavender colored pants... I wish you had kept them, and I love that top you styled with them. But, gosh... $100?! I can get an amazing pair of jeans at a mall store like, American Eagle for half of that price!! I just ordered a Stitch Fix box that will arrive in April. It's been awhile and I can't wait!

Thanks Carrie! I never was able to take photos inside until this year. One reason was that got a new camera, but I think the real reason is the room. The lighting is just perfect for indoor photos and the coloring of the room also helps a lot too! Oh, I wish those jeans were cheaper, I would have loved to have kept them!
DeleteThese jeans are terrific on you, and I agree the price is steep for a trendy color. Love your choice of accessories too, and thanks for linking up, xo

Thanks Patti!
DeleteI think you can fin just as nice, similar pants for way less. But I do love them on you especially paired with the teal. I absolutely love all the purple you have been wearing lately, Amy. =)
ReplyDeleteP.S. I know you love my poetry so there is a brand-new one on the blog, right now. =)
Thank you! I think that color in a jean will be hard to find, but if I do, I'll definitely snatch it up. I will visit your blog as soon as I can and check out your poetry. I have company over for the next few days.
DeleteThey are super great jeans. I have a pair from the thrift store that I adore....maybe you can find a less expensive pair???
