An Off The Shoulder Top From Stitch Fix

I have read so many blog posts from bloggers who attended New York fashion week and came back saying  that "Off The Shoulder" styles are out.  Yet, I still see them in stores and Stitch Fix just sent me this top.  I think often when Pantone comes out with a new "Color of the Year" or something premiere's at a fashion show, it isn't until a full year later (or longer in my neck of the woods) that you see it in stores.  So I'm guessing we still have one more year to enjoy our off-the-shoulder styles ladies!  And that's good news, as I only wore once a couple of mine that I purchased last year .

There were many things I liked about this top, first, I thought it was super flattering.  It had a nice length, and it covered everything I generally like to hide.  I also liked how comfortable it was.  It is made of a super soft knit and it felt so good against my skin.

I also really liked these fun tie sleeves.  Anything with little ties is super trendy right now:  shirts that tie at the waist, neckties (like little kerchiefs), and sleeve ties are everywhere this spring.

Because the print is so busy, I just wore a silver bracelet for jewelry.

Now I know many of you are always curious as to what hubby thinks of my pieces from Stitch Fix.  He really liked this top, but he said "I like anything that shows your skin".  Ha- ha!  Typical husband response.

I liked the top, but I wasn't thrilled with the pattern and I was also concerned how much wear I would get out of it knowing that off-the-shoulder tops are on their way out.  I also already own three off-the-shoulders tops.  But, you will have to wait until Friday to find out if I kept this top or returned it.  I know, I'm so bad!

On Friday I will show you the last piece I received in this box from Stitch Fix and then I will review the entire Fix letting you know what I kept and what I sent back.  Plus, I'll have the results of my Instagram poll.

Stitch Fix #20: Suede Jacket, Off-The-Shoulder Top, Olive Jeans, and Eggplant Suede Cross Body Bag

I'm so excited to reveal the rest of my Stitch Fix Box #20 today!  Last Friday I shared one of the pieces in the box, a comfortable maxi dress, and today I'm back to share the rest of the items in that box.

In my twentieth box I received a maxi dress, a faux suede coat, an off-the-shoulder top, olive green jeans, and a eggplant cross body bag.  I'm wearing all of the pieces at once in the photo below.   First up:

Pixley Kendari Faux Suede Jacket:

I was so excited to see this faux suede jacket in my box.  I have a lot of fall/spring coats, but nothing in this color or this fabric.  It is so soft and comfortable;  y'all know how much comfort is important to me, especially with a coat.  I find so many coats uncomfortable to wear:  they always tend to be tight in the upper back or upper arms.  This one feels great!

It is a very lightweight jacket, so I can wear it  indoors like a blazer and not just use it for outerwear.

I really like the contemporary moto style of the jacket.  All the silver zippers and the main off center zipper add a lot of nice detail.

For jewelry, I skipped a necklace, and chose these white statement earrings that I picked up the Younker's Going-Out-Of-Business sale.   I also wore a multi-colored metal bracelet.

I must admit when I saw there was another off-the-shoulder top in my box, I wasn't thrilled as I own several already.  However, the colors, print, and sleeves sold me on this top.  Did you know you don't have to wear off-the-shoulder tops off-the-shoulder?  That's right!  They work well as a regular blouse too.  So when the weather cools, that is how I will wear this one.  The colors are perfect for fall, don't you think?

I love the bell sleeves in this top.  There is elastic right above the gathering.  The blouse is also lined; it has a solid mustard lining underneath.

I'm a sucker for bags, I have quite a large collection.  I love to change my bags for every outfit and occasion, so I was thrilled to see a bag in my Fix.  This bag is both cute and practical.  The color and fabric are perfect for fall, and it's the perfect size for most activities.  It also has plenty of pockets, including a large side pocket.

The last item in my Fix was this pair of olive green skinny jeans.  I already own a pair of cropped twill olive pants, plus a pair of olive linen pants, so I debated whether or not I should keep these.  My ultimate decision was that these were more appropriate for winter weather than the other two pair of olive green pants I own.  Plus, I liked the fit better.  My old twill pants are very low rise and have always been uncomfortable to wear because of that.  I even tore and sewed up the belt straps multiple times from constantly tugging the pants up:  so, it was time for a new pair of olive green pants, and a better fitting pair!

I've received a lot of pants from Stitch Fix over the years, and I've always been pleased with the feel and fit with all but one pair.  These are no exception.  They look and feel great, and the fabric seems somewhat coated, giving it a nice, soft sheen.

Olive green is such a great color for fall, and a great alternative to blue or black jeans.  I'm sure I will get a lot of use out of them.

So, I finally had a really great box from Stitch Fix.  I kept everything in my box and received a 25% discount, which ends up always being huge because it's like you got one item for free!
