Lavender Skinny Jeans From Stitch Fix: Fix #14

 I have been an off-and-on customer of Stitch Fix since 2013.  I have had Fixes where I kept the entire box and Fixes where I had to send everything back.  My last few Fixes haven't been that great, so I decided to stop ordering from them.  Well, they must have noticed because they sent me an offer I couldn't refuse and I signed up to receive monthly Fixes.

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!

    1. Thanks Laurie, I was so happy lavender is Pantone's Color of the Year. I think it's a gorgeous color.

  2. Such 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.

    1. 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.

  4. Those jeans do look amazing! I would have a hard time paying $100 but also have a hard time sending them back.

    1. Thank you! That was my dilemma. I was so torn about sending them back.

  5. What 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!

    1. Thanks Ellie! I so agree! I'm keeping my eyes open for a pair.

  6. Lavender 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!

  7. I 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!

    1. 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!

  9. I 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. =)

    P.S. I know you love my poetry so there is a brand-new one on the blog, right now. =)

    1. 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.
