My first Maternity Stitch Fix Box

I believe it's been a while since I posted a Stitch Fix box! I kind of took a little break when I was in my first trimester because basically, I could barely get off the couch.  Hashtag SICK.  But now that I'm feeling a little better, I was so excited to get my first maternity box! SF started carrying maternity clothing a few months ago and I am so excited to show you what I got.

So before I show you what I got this month , don't mind the dirty mirror, bare feet, or toddler photobombs. And there's a few blurry pictures as well.  I guess I just didn't really care that much..or maybe my toddler was about to jump off the bed headfirst. I can't remember.

Here's what I got in my box this month:

1. Loveappella Maternity Alfonso Off Shoulder Maternity Top



This top I was not really a fan of.  I don't care for off the shoulder tops and the stripes just weren't that flattering on me.  And hello 13 week bump...you came out a lot earlier than last time!   SENT BACK

 2.  41 Hawthorn Colibri Solid Tab Sleeve Blouse






This one was cute, but just didn't fit me as well as I'd hoped. It was pretty big on me already and since it's not "maternity" wear, I wanted to be able to wear it after pregnancy. But the sleeves were supposed to be 3/4 and they were almost long sleeves on me and it was just super long. This would be a great staple for a fall wardrobe though. Sadly, I didn't keep.  SENT BACK


3. Stitch Fix 3 Pack Maternity Cami




now these. these are the bomb.  LONG for when the belly gets quite large so it'll cover everything and super comfy.  That's all I needed to keep them!  They came in a 3 pack of nude, black and white. I've already worn them all. Great for underneath clothing as well as by themselves with a cardigan or jacket.  And there's a toddler photobomb.


4. Loveappella Maternity Greta Dress








 Can you say bootylicious?  Yeah, this dress was a LITTLE too form fitting for me...my bump was large and in charge, on both sides of my body.  So although it was cute, it was too tight for comfort.  And at almost $70, I would have rather seen a fun print than just a plain black dress. Although it's a great staple, I didn't keep it.  SENT BACK.

5. Eight Sixty Maternity Gabre Maternity Dress








Now this is one of those that I tried on millions of times and TRIED so hard to convince myself to keep it.  It was SO comfortable, has no zippers or buttons, slips right on over the head and was super cute.  I love eyelet dresses and this was adorable.  The back was scoop neck which I loved too. But it was almost $100 and I just could not bring myself to spend that on one dress...and a dress that I'd only be wearing for another 6 months.  :( Sad day.  SENT BACK.


So overall, I kept the 3 pack of camis, but I was happy with my first box! Lots of variety and cute stuff! I asked for a couple cardigans to wear with skinnies and a new handbag this next time.  Let's hope my awesome stylist delivers! (Which she most of the time always does!)

Stitch Fix #14





***If you've noticed, blogger is somehow making my photos really blurry.  :(  They are not that way when I upload them so not sure what is going on..sorry about that. ***


Stitch Fix is here!  I got some great items this month and can't wait to share them with you!

I've been with SF for over a year and no doubt, my favorite items in my closet are from them.

1.  Palacio Abstract Print Colorblock Print Tank by Pixley

 I actually requested this top and man, do I love it.  Pink is my favorite color, and it also has navy blue and black in it, so I can wear it with either color.  It fit perfect and is just the right amount of pop for me.  KEPT

2. Fallon Mixed Print Sleeveless Blouse by Brixon Ivy

 Hubby really loved this top on me, but I was just "okay" about it.  The colors were fabulous, but it just wasn't love.  RETURNED

3. Arynn Tie Back Chevron Top by Olive and Oak

 I also requested this top (have i mentioned how much I love my stylist?  She always listens to my requests) but sadly, I was underwhelmed.  It was very sheer and too big for me.  Kind of like a trash bag.  I did love the colors and the print, but I did not keep it.  RETURNED


4. Karla Textured Shorts by Skies are Blue

 These shorts are AMAZING.  I hated them in the box and then when I put them on, I changed my mine completely.  There is no zipper or buttons kind of like maternity clothes (why can't women live in maternity clothing all the time?) but you'd never know.  The print on the front is super cute and the color was nice.  Not something I would pick from the store, but that's the beauty of SF.  To step out of your fashion comfort zone and go for bold styles.  I think I'll get some use out of these this summer.  KEPT

5. Lysette Quilted Clutch by Moda Luxe


 As a mom, my clutch wearing days are limited.  I need to be able to fit a sippy cup, a couple snacks, a toy truck, a cheese stick, and a diaper in my purse.  Sadly, this didn't fit the bill.  It's very pretty thought but I did not keep it.  RETURNED.

Stitch Fix #13- I KEPT IT ALL

For the first time in over a year.. i kept every single item in my box!  I could not believe how spot on my stylist was with my requests and styles.  I've had the same stylist for every box except one and I feel like we should be soul sisters. ;)

Here's what I got in my box:

1. Margaret M Emer Textured Cropped Straight Leg Pant


I usually don't ask for pants in my boxes, because here in Florida the only season we get is HOT...but when these came, wow.  There is no zipper, no buttons and they are stretchy.  Just what I need.  #oldladystatus  But these are NOT old lady at all.  They have a gorgeous textured pattern and the color....OMG my favorite ever.   KEEP KEEP KEEP

2. Gilli Tom Maxi Dress

This was an absolute LOVE when i saw it in my box.  I love everything about it.  The pattern, the oh so soft fabric, and I can't turn down a Maxi.  Perfect for Florida.  KEEP

3. Loveappella Abella Maxi Dress

This was a little bit big on me, but since the waist cinched, it looked fine once I cinched it a lot.  I love the fabric and the pattern was fun.  There is a slit on each side which makes it super airy and cute! KEEP  *UPDATE* I ended up selling this dress because it really was too big for me. *

4. Fun2Fun Mia Crochet Lace Top

Not sure I would have picked this up on the rack, but I love it on.  Super cute and I am a suck for lace and hot pink.  KEEP 


5. THML Emory Spaghetti Strap Top


I requested this top because I saw it on Pinterest and immediately fell in love.  Oh man, it did not disappoint.  The quality is great and it's perfect for our weather.  I love turquoise too.  KEEP


Yes! I kept it all! I wanted to personally drive to California so I could hug my stylist.  She is the bomb.   Want to try it?  Click here to fill out your style profile and sign up!  I'll get a small referral credit for you signing up. :)

Stitch Fix #12

My year anniversary with Stitch Fix was this month! Whoo Hoo.  I can't believe it's been that long.  I still get so excited when I see that box on my front porch.  Here's my 12th box!

Daniel Rainn Nelly Embroidered V Neck Top

This was a very pretty top and I love the embroidered "tribal" look it has.  However it was a little too big for me and for almost $70, I didn't want to spend that on a white top.  RETURNED


Fun2Fun Sonoma Striped Sleeveless Top

This was a fun top. The back is longer than the front, and this "nautical" look is very in this summer.  I usually never pick out red for myself and since SF has always pushed my fashion limits, I decided to keep this one.  KEPT
Gilli Mitchel Maxi Dress

This dress was very comfortable and SOFT. The back had a criss cross "cut out" type thing that was very cute too!  I have no doubts that I would wear this often but I did not keep it just because I would have rather had a more colorful maxi.  RETURNED




Market and Spruce Lana Lace Detail V-Neck Blouse


I love lace. I also love black and white. So this was a win for me.  It was a little flowy, but I decided to make it work. KEPT :)

Dear John Lillie Short

See above^^  I am wearing those shorts with all of my tops.  I was not a fan.  WAY too big for me.  Like 2 sizes at least.  And honestly, the $20 Target ones I have work just as well. ;)  RETURNED

And there you have it! My 12th box.  I was happy with this one, but wished for more color.  For my next one, I asked for lots of feminine pieces and lots of color! Let's hope my awesome Stylist delivers!

Stitch Fix #11


You tired of another Stitch Fix post?  Ha, I have another fix coming next week, so I hope not!  I also have been pre-scheduling my posts, so I bet you'll be seeing more from me now.  Does that make you happy!? ;)   I used to be good at time management, but once a kid came around....naptime means Binge Watching Netflix, cleaning, or just collapsing on the couch.

Here's what I got in my 11th box!

1.  Lizza Split Neck Blouse by Creative Commune







I actually requested one very similar to this except it had turquoise trim.  This one was super duper cute and I was SO close to keeping it.  It was a tiny bit too big for me and after consulting my mom, my cousin, and hubby...i didn't keep it.  My stylist reccomended I wear this with Chuck Taylor's, which would have been super cute.  But oh well.  RETURNED


2. McCarthy Cutout Detail Blouse by Pixley



This top was also LOVE for me.  The color, the matierial, the detail.  I love everything about it.  But...for some reason I sent it back. ha, don't you love it when you kind of wish you hadn't returned something?  Or is that just me that will have a full cart of clothes/shoes/etc and then talk myself out of every single item...

Anyway, the reason I didn't keep this is because 1)It was just a plain color 2) I would have to wear a strapless bra every single time.  #aintnobodygottimeforthat
I hate wearing strapless bras.  So there.   RETURNED


3. Floria Split Back Knit Top by Papermoon




Hubby loved this top.  Me, not so much.  I don't care for split back pieces and the fabric was that really soft stuff that will get pulls easily. (I don't know the exact name for it). So this was definately not my favorite.  RETURNED

4.Llana Polka Dot Dress by Leota


Loved this pattern.  I am a complete sucker for polka dots.  I also loved the color.  I did not, however, love the fabric.  It was pretty clingy, as you can see my backfat in the last photo. haha!  And I didn't like feeling like I had to suck in 24/7 because of my baby pooch.  Have i mentioned how much your body changes after you birth a child?  Worth it though :)  RETURNED


5. Lex Textured Floral Knit Fit and Flare Dress by Brixon Ivy







 Now this.  This dress was instant love.  It's textured, which is a plus.  It's blue, which is my favorite color to wear.  It's a fit and flare which makes me want to twirl around (see photo above), and it's SUPER comfy to wear out and about with my wild monkey child.  I wore it to church last week and got a few compliments on it! You can also dress it down with a jean jacket (Perhaps the same one I've had since 9th grade? Sure!)  So I bet you can guess that this one went in my closet. KEPT
