I LOVE Stitch Fix!!! I have had 3 "fixes" so far, and all of them have been great! I can't wait to share my May Stitch Fix goodies with you!
First, if you are not familiar with Stitch Fix and how it works, here is a quick summary:
1. Start by filling out your style profile - you will complete all sorts of questions on sizing, pricing, preferences, colors, etc.
2. Order your first fix! Your card will be charged a $20 styling fee however, if you keep any item [one or more] you will be credited back the $20.
3. Decide what you want and what you want to send back -in the provided postage paid envelope!
Ok, here is my May Fix.
1. Daniel Rainn Tolley Mixed Print Crochet Detail Tie-Neck Top $68
2. Sweet Rain Montezuma Split Neck Blouse $44
I was super excited when I pulled this out of the box. I loved the color (it is more of a bright mint green, like in the close up photo). I also liked the print. The hearts were small enough that they almost looked like polka dots from a distance and did not look like a little kids heart print shirt at all. This would look great with a pair of white pants!
When I tried this top on it felt too boxy for me. There was not a lot of definition in the cut of the top. Plus, it felt too tight across the back. I was kind of sad that it didn't fit right, I really loved the color, print, and lightweight fabric.
Verdict: returned
3. Olive & Oak Peyton Dress $74
I had previously noticed this top on Pinterest, and really liked it, so I was excited when I saw it in my May box. I love the mix of prints and the colors. However, when I tried it on something just seemed odd with the crochet panel. I think it was too wide and became too much of a focus point for me, instead of a fun detail.
Verdict: returned

3. Olive & Oak Peyton Dress $74
The fabric on this dress is SUPER soft! I love belted shirt dresses, and I liked the color of this one a lot! I also liked the longer back with the split in the back hem. Cute! I felt like the fabric was a little heavy for spring/summer though. I tried in on and it was immediatly evident that this was not going to work! It was super baggy, and even when it was belted it felt like a paper sack (or fabric sack).
Verdict: returned
4. Papermoon Kasidy Swing Skirt $58

I loved this right away! The color, the pattern, the length, the fabric.....everything! I tried it on and it was just perfect! The fabric is super soft and the skirt is lined with a lightweight fabric. This is a perfect skirt for spring/summer! I have already worn this skirt a couple of times and have received many compliments.
Verdict: Kept!!!
5. Pixley Carlie Mixed Lace Short Sleeve Shirt $54
Back Cut-Out Detailing
I wasn't so sure about this top when I pulled it out of the box. I am not usually a huge lace/crochet person. But, as always, I had to try it on because you never know- right? I am so glad I gave this top a chance! It is beautiful! It looks great with the Papermoon skirt above. My stylist even sent a cami/tank to wear underneath the top, which I greatly appreciated! This top have the perfect amount of stretch and it form fitting but not skin tight. I think it would look great under a cardigan in the fall/winter, so I can use it all year round. Bonus! The material is a bit delicate though, so I will have to be careful when wearing this top so I don't snag it.
Verdict: Kept!
I ended up keeping 2 of the 5 items, which to me is a success! The skirt will get a lot of wear and the top is so versatile it can be worn in many ways throughout the year.
