FASHION: Stitch fix review// fixes 1 & 2


Have you ever heard of stitch fix? It's a subscription service for clothing. You create a profile, and they handpick 5 items for you. It's $20 a month for a styling fee, but you get to use that money towards any item(s) you want to keep each month. Then, you send back what you don't want to keep. Simple as that! No braving the store to try on 15 different shirts til you find one that fits...


I love this service sooo much! It's my one splurge a month! 

It's like Christmas morning when that box appears on my front porch- so much anticipation of what's inside!

For fix #1, I created a pin board specifically for stitch fix with all the clothing I specifically didn't like. I got 5 items based on what I didn't like...

I got the scarf, which was just too chunky for me, and the striped shirt. I kept this shirt- so comfy and a pop of color!
I got this teal shirt too, which I absolutely love!!! ❤️❤️❤️ If you couldn't guess, I kept this shirt too! 
These last two I sent back. They were cute, but they just weren't right for me. 
I filled out a questionnaire about each item they sent me, and why it was or wasn't right for me. My first stylist was good, but I wanted to see if another stylist got my style more- so I didn't request the same one.


For fix #2, I got a different stylist, and boy, she hit the nail on the head. I loved every single item! With that said, I only kept two for financial reasons. Here are the pieces I got:
The Jean jacket and long sweater, dress, arrow shirt, and striped shirt all came in this fix. I ended up just keeping the sweater and the dress. Let me just say- I loved the dress so much that I refused to get out of it!!
 
I have been so pleased with my two fixes so far, and I can't wait to get my next fix at the end of this month!

DIET: Day 7// Progress

 After 6 days in the attack phase, I get to move on to the cruise phase! I have seriously never craved a vegetable this much in my entire life! LOL!

WEIGH IN: I'm down to 163.4 pounds. That's 6 pounds in 6 days!

HOW I'M FEELING: I feel amazing! As much as I still crave some of my favorite foods, I have this amazing sense of confidence to get down to my target weight! I know that I can do this for a prolonged period of time (113 more days!)

No progress pics to share today, but they will be coming in about a week. :)
