It shipped! It's going to be late, but oh well - it should be here Wednesday. I'm getting the Kendahl Skirt, the Blanco Ruffle Hem Top, the Preslie Etched Bib Necklace, the McQue Solid Lace Sleeve Blouse, and the Alan French Terry Asymmetrical Zip Cardigan.
@pambeesly524, keep waiting. It showed up yesterday ... you ever have a fix where you pull things out of the box, put them on, and your H keeps laughing at you? Yeah. This would have been a fantastic box for someone, but not for me. He kept saying "no pictures, I'm sparing you." Oh well. I kept the necklace and I'll get a picture of that later today, but everything else was not good.
@KeptInStitches - Can you tell us what the names of the pieces were or take pictures of them not on you? I like to see/hear about what other people get so I can either request them or know what things I don't like about their items.
I got a Fix on Friday but I look ridiculous in the pictures @GoldenPenguin took (I had on yoga pants and a sports bra because we were about to hit the road for VA). I only kept 1 thing and checked out already but I haven't sent the rest back so I'll take pics tonight to post tomorrow!

@swazzle@twodimes here's what she got.. I'd love to know the colors though!
Edited to say: I totally agree with loving to see what you guys get so I know what to ask for in my future fixes... and also, ya'll convinced me NOT to get that blazer in my last box which I appreciate.
Also can I just say that I love when you guys give suggestions for where to get similar things elsewhere? Most of the time the suggestions are better/cheaper!
Hmmm I just pulled them all up and I'm so curious to know what you didn't like about everything, @KeptInStitches!
The skirt is adorable in the pictures I found! I couldn't find the Blanco Ruffle Hem Top but (I think) I found something similar and I love it. I also absolutely LOVE the McQue Solid Lace Sleeve Blouse. I received the Alan French Terry Asymmetrical Zip Cardigan in a past Fix and it didn't look good on me at all.
@TwoDimes - I loooooooove the cardigan, blouse, and top! I've never tried Emers but it seems you either love them or you hate them. I can't find the dress but every Gilli dress I've received, I've loved.
Here's my belated Fix that I received last Friday. I think it was #14? Kindly excuse the hair and the face.
RD Style Wakefield Crossover Sweater ($68 - returned) - I just didn't like this much at all. It was really soft and I think it would look nice on someone not quite as busty as I am. It made me feel bigger than I am.
41Hawthorn Carmina Dress ($74 - returned) - The zipper busted on this dress so I couldn't really see if I liked it a lot. The back was a little low and my bra was visible which I don't like at all.
Market and Spruce Yuna Chevron Pointelle Knit Sweater ($68 - returned) - This was ok It was really soft and comfortable but I don't love that some of the pointelle is open and some is closed. It felt a tiny bit snug and the material seemed a little too thin for the price.
Market and Spruce Aleah Heathered V-Neck Dolman Top ($48 - returned) - I requested this top and pinned it but in burgundy. The green color is nice but I don't LOVE it.
41Hawthorn Renesme Geo Cube Print Faux Wrap Dress ($78 - kept!) - I requested this dress in black and blue but my stylist said she didn't have those colors in stock so she sent the purple and grey and I LOVE IT. I wore this dress to @beanbot2002's shower the day after I received it AND I had a few credits so it was only $28 out of pocket
@swazzle LOVE love LOVE the dress! I don't know what it looks like in black and blue but I love this one... I think the first sweater looks like in theory but I agree, it doesn't look right now. Pointelle sweater = no, i don't like holes like that. Bummer about the first dress and I kinda wanna snuggle up in that dolman... looks comfy! I might request one for my next fix, looks like a good office shirt.
@swazzle,I think the pointelle sweater is actually really cute, and you could always wear a cami underneath for the open holes, but I agree it doesn't seem worth the price. That dress though. LOVE! It's so pretty on you!

Geez, is this really the first time I've sat down? Anyway, StitchFix #3. I don't have my invoice on me, but I do remember the price of the necklace I kept and the approximate price of one of the tops.
Preslie Etched Bib Necklace ($34, kept) - I usually wear silver, but I can see the merit of having an all-gold necklace for my work rotation. I like the pattern, and I've already worn it twice (yesterday and today). Normally I'd consider this overpriced, but with the $20 styling fee being sunk cost in my mind ... it was worth it.
Alan French Terry Asymmetrical Zip Cardigan (returned) - This was really super-awkward on me. The hem was uneven (couldn't even call it high-low), the front was weird zipped and unzipped, and the neckline was weird when it was zipped. It just looked really awkward, and I had trouble getting it zipped because I couldn't see exactly what was going on with all the fabric layers. I did like the color, though.
Kendahl Skirt (returned) - It was a tiny bit tight, but I haven't been really eating as well as I possibly could. If it had been a different pattern (the really cute blue with polka dots that showed up in GIS), I would have "behaved" back down into it. As it is ... this pattern is way too busy for my closet. It made my eyes cross - too much going on in too little space.
McQue Solid Lace Sleeve Blouse (returned) - Oh so close! So very close! But it's sheer and I'm over the sheer top trend. I know I could wear a cami, but I also know me - I wouldn't pull it out of my closet if I had to do more layers (it's good to know your limits).
Blanco Ruffle Hem Top (~$55, returned) - Um ... I'm not bohemian chic. My stylist said this would be part of "a cute bohemian chic look." On me, there was a lot of excess fabric from my chest down. I know that not everything has to be skin-tight, but this was unflattering for my figure. On top of it, the colors were really bad for my skin tones.
@keptinstitches Ugh that sucks that the Mcque lace top is sheer. I thought you were going to like it when you posted the names before and I googled them. It's so hard to find non sheer tops!
I love the ruffle hem top from the picture but I like "bohemian" chic.
@Keptinstiches, I agree with all of your choices, I wish that white sweater that was pictured with your skirt came in your box, that looks very cute.... If I had gotten your necklace over mine I would have kept the accessory.
Here is my box, I'm not to thrilled this month....
Bari V-Neck Knit Top ($48) and Kristin Fleece Legging ($38)
I'm thinking of keeping the top, but I already have a pair of leggings that are black that I don't wear, I don't need to add another to the collection. Yes, the top has sheer bits and I'm wearing a black bra, sorry ladies I was not in the mood to throw on a cami
Margerie Stripe & Dot Open Cardigan ($68)
I'm on the fence about this one, I like it, its soft and comfortable and I enjoy using cardigans to spice up an outfit that would otherwise be plain. I wear a cardigan almost everyday all day at work since I work in a hospital, so it would get use. What do you ladies think?
Delamo V Fringe Necklace ($28) and Renesme Graphic Print Faux Wrap Dress ($78)
The necklace is a hell no. I'm also on the fence about this dress, I don't own many dresses but I subscribed to this box to start pulling myself a bit out of my comfort zone when it comes to clothing so getting it would do just that. I could wear it to work if I layered it with a cami, and I know FI would like it without for date night.
@TwoDimes - The first top (that you're keeping) is a little hard to see but I like it! I actually really love the white blouse but it's very much my style so I'm probably biased. I think the Emers are supposed to be ankle length. The cardigan sleeves are really weird. Is it trying to be dolman-ish? You look like a bat! I absolutely LOVE that dress on you but it looks black/red to me from the pic and I can't quite see the collar. I don't like orange so I would return it for that reason alone.
@TwoDimes yeah that sweater is really weird. I like the blouse too but not for the price. The dress doesn't look bad from this pic but of course we can't see the true color and I can't see the collar. I wouldn't want a collar on my dresses either
Thank you ladies for the feedback! I'll be keeping both the items I was on the fence about, I'm not usually confident about my body (left overs from an eating disorder years ago) so sometimes other opinions help me see it for what it is, I appreciate that!
@TwoDimes I really like your first sweater, it looks great on you. I agree with others that I also like the white top, but I'm a sucker for tops like that one. I wonder how judge-y the stylist would be if I asked for work pants with an elastic waistband.....? hahahah!
@cocoBellaF are you going to update us when you get it?
Okay, SF number two! Sorry for my face and not the best lighting in these.
So, here's the Anita skinny pant (keep) and Sam Hi-Low tee (probably return). I love the pants. They are a little long, but they fit over my rapidly expanding butt and the material feels really nice! The tee is kinda not my favorite by itself. Paired with a couple other items shown below, it is okay, but when it all comes down, it is a $44 gray t-shirt.
This is with the 41Hawthorn cardigan. LOVE the jewel tone color, and I have a lot of tops it could go with. Definite keep.
And finally layered with the Octavia Joanne crochet knit infinity scarf. I'm on the fence about the scarf. I like it, but...eh. Not the most exciting article of clothing.
And finally, the Crescent Spooner cross back top. 99% sure I'm sending this back. I like tops that are looser these days, but this has absolutely no shape, and the sleeves annoy me. It's a shame, because I love anything olive toned.
Ooh, and not from SF, but my favorite purchase of the day is my new stethoscope, lol. I got a big girl cardiology stethoscope and it is incredible! I am almost excited to go back to work next week and use it.
@CLoGreenEyes I LOVE that cardigan. How much is the scarf? They sent me one that was around $50 and I just laughed. I don't understand why fridge is supposed to be coming back, I'm not a fan. I agree with sending the olive top back, you deserve better
