Hello friends!
Well my lil guy Roman spent Sat/Sunday in the hospital. He was having asthma-like symptoms (coughing/wheezing/difficultly breathing) so my hubby took him to the ER on Saturday around 1:30pm. They gave him breathing treatments for over an hour and decided to keep him overnight to monitor him. He ended up getting steroids and a bunch more of the albuterol to help with his breathing. I have never had any of my children stay at the hospital for an illness so it was really a weird feeling to not be there with him. Once the kids and I visited that evening I could tell he was doing better and wasn’t as worried.
Anyway, it was a fairly unproductive week food-wise to today I am going to share my last Stitch Fix box with you!
Some of you might have seen a sneak peak of it- I posted my goods on Facebook and Instagram because this time around I needed help.
So here is what I got and what I ended up keeping!
P.S. This service is still working for me (obviously) because I simply don’t get out to shop much at all. I have cut way down on online shopping as well so I can allow myself to spend some extra money on Stitch Fix.
If you were thinking of signing up, it would be awesome if you used my referral link because then I’ll get a $25 credit towards my stuff (and you can get the same referral credit when you get your friends to sign up). Anyway, on to the items in my fifth box!
1. Kelsie Braided Detail Belted Maxi Dress
Well I got a lot of mixed reviews from friends on this dress. The consensus was that everyone loved it, but several thought it looked too big on me. It’s an XS so there was no chance in getting a smaller size. After thinking about it, trying it on for the hubs, we agreed that was just the style and in person I don’t think it looks quite as big as in this picture. The reasons why I loved it so much was because of the snap closure making it perfect for nursing, the cute slits up the side to make it a little sexy and the material was so comfy I could see myself wearing it all day, and into the night if needed.
Status: Kept
2. Dean Ankle Zip Skinny Jean
These are made from Just Black, the same jeans I got in my previous fix but a different style and color. These have the cute ankle zip and fit sort of like leggings! Super comfy
Status: Kept
3. May Damask Print Knit Back Top
I immediately fell in love with this print but the negatives for me 1) dry clean only 2) it had a boxy cut that from the (sheer) back wasn’t that flattering….and for those reasons
Status: Returned
4. Jayde Layered Floral Print Tank
I requested something floral in previous box and ended up sending it back. I don’t own any floral pieces and just wanted one. I loved the flowy detail of this and the racer back. It looks really cute with the olive jeans they sent.
please excuse the disaster in my room that day. We had the pack n play set up and everything was a mess.
Status: Kept
5. Chambers Crochet Striped Silk Tank
Oh I just loved this simple tank with the pretty crochet detail. I actually needed a simple black top but the negative (again) was that this was made from silk and dry clean only. Hello…mother of 4 small children. No can do. It was also on the pricy side otherwise I probably would’ve kept it anyway.
Status: Returned
So I kept 3, returned 2 and was very happy with this box. I would’ve keep it all if money was no object, saving the more delicate pieces for date nights but it’s ok.

I love the silk tanks you returned but dry clean only is a deal breaker for me too. I was afraid to even take them out of the box!

Yes, slightly irritating when my profile states mom of 4 young children. But I have now stated it over and over that I don’t want dry clean only things so we’ll see what happens!
Lindsay @ The Lean Green Bean says

You look great in everything! I just set up another Stitch Fix order… I try to check it out about every 2-3 months. Shopping is not happening for me these days!

Fun! Have you had good experiences so far?
Erin @ Her Heartland Soul says
I love that blue dress! Could you possible get it tailored in the chest area? I’m disproportionately small up top so I have to do this frequently.

Amy says
Love the floral tank, Melanie! All of the pieces you kept are beautiful 🙂 I need to give this a try!
Melanie Flinn, MS, RD says
Thanks Amy! Can’t wait to hear about your experience.
Lauren says
Love! Might have to schedule another one sooner than I planned…
Melanie Flinn, MS, RD says
He he, I am obsessed. I can’t wait to see what I get in my boxes, but clearly I don’t get out much. lol
GallinAround says
These look awesome on you – I’m so jealous of the great pieces you got! SF recently switched up my stylist and somehow she interpreted “I love prints, color and form-fitting cloths” as “send me all the baggy neutrals you have!” Off to request that floral tank!

lol! Oh no! Sometimes they do just get it wrong. Luckily I have had luck and have kept at least two items per box and often more. Good luck with the next one! 🙂

I LOVE # 1 and I have to say I actually liked # 5 too… I like loose fitting yet classy tops! 😉
