December 2015 Stitch Fix

It's been about 6 months since I last got a Stitchfix box. Unfortunately my last box was a little underwhelming and I didn't have any more credit left. But, I recently got some more credit (thanks to you all) and so I went ahead and ordered a winter box. Seriously, it's GOOD, real good!!

So, I'll go on to the unboxing since I'm sure that's what you all really want to see. 

Papermoon Cabrine Henley Blouse with the RD Style Rory Faux Leather Front Legging (I'm wearing the leggings in all the pics)

I've been looking and looking for a pair of faux leather leggings. These are still slightly too big but not as noticeable as other pairs I have tried. They are super comfortable and very warm as they are lined. This top is so cute!  I love the white accents on the pockets and shoulders. I can definitely see myself wearing these pieces all the time. 

Skies are Blue Abela Open Cardigan

I have a cardigan in this color but this is definitely a cute staple piece. I actually like the fact that the sleeves are three-quarter length. 

41Hawthorne Benton Cowl Neck Sweater

Love love love this sweater. So soft and comfortable. I also really like the contrasting colors. Uggg. So. Hard. To. Decide. 

RD Style Tessi Poncho Pullover

This poncho was probably my least favorite but it could be because I was very hot by the time I tried this on. Plus, it took me awhile to figure out where my arms and head were supposed to go. It's actually really cute when it's on.

So, here's my problem.  The credit I have isn't going to cover everything in this box. Ugggg, I also ordered a goldentote this month for the jackets (2 jackets plus 4 surprises for $129--I had some credit). Also, stitchfix has a buy all discount so it ends up cheaper to buy all five pieces than to return one or two back. What would you keep?

My First Trunk Club November 2015

It's been awhile since I've had a StitchFix box sent to me, partly because I'm trying to be fiscally responsible, also cause there are very specific pieces I'm interested in and I don't want to gamble my $20 styling fee on something I'm not sure about.  Don't get me wrong, there's definitely something fun and exciting about getting a surprise box of clothes, but not on a regular basis.


As we enter cooler weather, I am in desperate need of warm weather basics.  I've heard that Nordstrom bought out Trunk Club and although they have a higher price point, I liked the idea of having free shipping and returns, no styling fee.  So, I figured, what's there to lose and I signed up.  Unbeknownst to me, I get a phone call the next day from Kiki my stylist.  She called to ask me several questions about my style, what I'm looking for, how I dress during the week and weekends.  She was friendly and she even wanted me to text her selfies so she can see how everything fit.  Now this is what I call personal service and was totally hooked.


A couple days later, I get an email saying that Kiki has put together a preliminary trunk for me to preview.  Seriously?  This was above and beyond my expectation.  So, I went through each item (there were maybe 15 different pieces) and for the pieces I declined, I explained why.  Then within the next few days, those pieces I declined were replaced with new pieces and a couple days later my trunk was shipped.  I don't know how much more personal a service can get.


So, I anxiously waited for my box and here is what I got:

How cute are these booties?  I totally would have kept them if there weren't too big. 

Here are also some other pieces I got:

Those faux leather leggings were perfect but a tad too tight. So, unfortunately they are going back but they are on the top of my list for my next purchase!

It just happens that Trunk Club price matches with Nordstrom (makes sense since they are owned by Nordstrom) and it just happens to be their Fall clearance.  Unfortunately, none of my stuff was on sale but I did score a couple of basics that I know will get a lot of mileage. 

Sorry no pictures of individual pieces. I don't have time nor the energy. Just take my word, it's worth it and a lot of fun!!  And if nothing fits or works then you can just return the whole box at no cost!!  Here's my referral link if you want to try it out yourself.  What's there to lose?
