November Stitch Fix Review
**This is not a sponsored post. I’m just in love with Stitch Fix. If you don’t know what Stitch Fix is all about, read this post.**
This review should be called “the dream pants that got away”. Do you see the color of those pants?? It’s absolutely dreamy — that bold, vibrant fuchsia is one of my most favorite colors, if not my favorite.
Those pants even matched my toenails. And my blog.
Sadly, they fit rather strangely. Since I’m sitting here lamenting them, let’s start with those.
By the way, I’m trying to figure out the best way to do these posts and how to take pics. I’m working on replacing a full-length mirror and bathroom shots just aren’t cutting it.
Item #1: Margaret M, Emer Printed Straight Leg Pant
Price: $98
Verdict: SEND BACK. I think I might be premature in venturing out into new pants since I still have about 15 pounds of baby weight (all in my rear) that I still have to lose. As much as it pains me to send these back, I had to. I think they were the right size, but yet, they didn’t stay put and kept sliding off my hips, particularly when I bent over. The color was spot on though. And I liked the subtle print, too. This outfit was suggested by my stylist, Jessica. I love the colors together!
Item #2: Market & Spruce, Joolie Waffle Knit Cardigan
Price: $78
Verdict: SEND BACK. This was easy. I didn’t like this cardigan at all. It was too bulky around my shoulders and had this “batwing” thing going on under my arm. Not a fan of that.
Item #3: 41Hawthorn, Astrid Tie Neck Blouse
Price: $54
Verdict: SEND BACK. At first glance I told myself I was going to keep this shirt. I love the colors and the print and the fit. The neck tie… I hoped it would grow on me, but sadly, no. I even looked to see if I could snip them off, but it would ruin the neckline. *sigh*
Item #4: 41Hawthorn, Moni Geo Print & Camisole Blouse
Price: $58
Verdict: SEND BACK. WHY DOES EVERYTHING LOOK GREAT WITH THOSE PANTS?! I’m not sure if I can get over those pants very quickly. So, the shirt. I loved the print and colors (navy/aqua), but the bib part with the gold studs wasn’t my fave. Also it fit a little snug around my midsection.
Item #5: Pixley, Ellie Printed 3/4 Sleeve Blouse
Price: $48
Verdict: KEEP! DING! We have a winner, folks. Funny, because I was unsure about this one until I put it on. I loved it so much I wore it to church the next day with a dark, denim-like pencil skirt and brown wedges. I adore the print and the fit was nice, too. I also appreciate that the neckline wasn’t too wide or too low so I didn’t have to layer underneath.
Even though I only kept one thing, I loved this box. It was full of bright colors and fun prints and it made me realize that I absolutely, positively need to find some fuchsia pants.

Totally understand sending those back, but you look so cute in all of them!! Love stitch fix! Can we talk about baby weight? First, you look great I’d never know you had more to loose! In your experience how long does it take you to get back to “normal”. With my first it took six months, but I’m six months out with my second and my tummy still looks kind of pregnant. Like everything else is about normal except that 4 month pregnant looking stomach! She was a BIG baby. Suggestions?
Sophie! You’re too kind. xoxo With my first three, the weight came off within 6-9 months, depending on how much I gained (I usually gain a lot. Between 35-60 lbs.). I was breastfeeding the whole time, and that definitely helped. If I needed to rush things along, I would do a month of strict paleo every now and then. BUT this time has been painfully slow, and I’m not sure why. I’m 8 1/2 months in and I’ve still got 15 pounds to lose. The only things I can think of is that I’m nursing more often (maybe my body is clinging to the extra weight to make milk?), this one is a boy (hormone changes?), and the fact that it’s baby #4 and I’m 35. It might be a combination of all of it. What works best for me is strict paleo. I’d love to say that I work out regularly, too, but I’m really bad at being consistent — mostly because I don’t like working out. :) It’s so hard to say though… every pregnancy and every woman is different. I do notice that my waistline is the first to shrink when I go off of grains and sugar. I’ve heard going dairy-free has that effect, too, but I’ve never had issues with dairy. I hope that helps. Best of luck to you!!
