For my April Stitch Fix, I asked for colorful spring/summer pieces with unique details. I tend to wear a lot of black and white, sometimes brown or gray. ha! So I was ready to pump it up with some color.
Before opening the box, I told my husband I hoped there was something coral inside. I hadn’t asked for it specifically, but just had a whim the day the box arrived. I was definitely not disappointed to see 2 coral pieces.
I usually get a pair of jeans, and this time I received a pair of slightly whiskered trousers. Love at first sight! I’ve only kept one pair of jeans so far due to not finding the perfect cut/fit combo. Fingers were definitely crossed on those.
The cobalt lace top reminded me of one I kept from a previous fix, but a little softer.
Then there was the wild card leaf dress. It sort of reminded me of a kimono. I wasn’t feeling the leaf pattern, but I always try everything on anyway.
First up was the coral shirt and trouser jeans. The jeans fit so perfectly! They are a tiny bit long with my flats, but could easily be worn with low heels or boots. I could always get them hemmed for flats too.
The coral shirt, on the other hand, was too tight across the chest so the buttons were bulging. Totally not flattering. It’s a Hawthorne 41, which I’ve had several pieces from before. A medium is often too tight across the chest and a large is too big through the sides/stomach. It’s going back.
Next up, I tried the crochet tank. This one is actually a two-piece. There’s a nude cami that you wear under the sheer fabric. Sorry my strap is twisted, you can tell my husband is over my fashion shoots. I really debated keeping this one. I love the crochet back details, but wasn’t really a fan of the cami strap showing. I also felt like it was a little too short in the front and hit me at a weird spot.
Then I tried the leaf dress. It has a belt and pockets, which are fun. I hate the print though. I actually didn’t mind the cut as much as I thought I would. It buttons so I could have opened it up more to show more neckline. My husband loved it, what?! It went back.
Finally, the cobalt blue lace top. LOVE! It’s a tiny bit clingy over my chest due to the material, but I’m going with it because the details are so pretty on this one. I can see myself wearing it with a dark pair of trousers or tucking it into a black skirt. Those shoulders, so pretty!
