I signed up for another Stitch Fix for February. My last box was great, but I didn't get to keep as many of the items as I wanted. So I thought I'd give it another whirl right away.
This was my best box yet! My stylist, Kia, called it "gold" because she said she had fun putting it together for me.
One of the best tips I have for you if you're thinking about getting a box, make sure to pin items you really want on Pinterest and change the caption to explain what you love about the item you're pinning. Then don't forget to leave a note in your request about your Pinterest board. Kia picked so much of what I'd pinned.
So let's take a look at what I got this month! The theme for this box is...Don't Knock It Til You Try It.
My first item is this color block hoodie. When I pulled it out of the box I was underwhelmed to say the least. But like most Stitch Fix items, once I tried it on, I was really happy with the fit and the way it looks on me. I like that its a "dressier" version of a lazy-day sweatshirt. Keeping this!
The next item was this cool cargo vest. It is really hard to tell if this is navy or black. They call it navy, but sometimes it reads black. I knew I'd love this before I tried it on. What can I say, I have the thing for vests right now. I got my mom a really cool vest for Christmas and I've been kicking myself for not getting myself one too. Now I have my own. Keeping this!
Oh, no they didn't. They sent me jeans. There is no way that they could possibly pick a jean that will fit. I have enough trouble finding the right size and style on my own. I was just sure that I would be disappointed when I tried to put these on. But...they fit like a glove. Plus, I love that they are slightly distressed boyfriend jeans. I don't have any distressed jeans, so I'm keeping these. So happy!
The fourth item is this cute striped tank. I was also worried that this wouldn't be flattering on or that it wouldn't fit across the bust area (my last box was wrought with that issue). But lucky me, it fits great and is really flattering. Plus I love the detailing with the yellow stitching. Keeping this!
Ahh, item number five. This was the one thing that I didn't have to try on to know it wasn't going to work. I look terrible in colors like this. I know blush is one of the hottest colors of the season, but it's just not for me. Plus the cut on the bottom of this wasn't flattering with my hips. This one is going back for sure.
So at the end of the day I am keeping four of the five items. So happy with my new pieces...especially thinking about how I'll style them with all my Stella & Dot bling. :)

Happy Valentine's Day to all of you. I'll be wearing something from my box out to dinner tonight.
Best, Karli

Our contractor started on the project January 28th and they have made GREAT progress. It was so wonderful to see the demo stage! We had already pulled out the carpet and mirror, etc. But they got to tear down that silly wall!!
Look at the difference already! Let there be light...and SPACE.
Then it seemed to slow down a bit while they worked on rerouting plumbing, building a new wall and moving electrical. But now all that is done....
So this week they're starting all the tile work and before you know it, I'll be soaking in that slipper tub.
In the meantime I've been admiring the tile we picked and we had a blast exploring an architectural salvage warehouse where we found a special 1923 oak door from the Denver School Administration Building. It will be hung on barn door tracks as you enter the bathroom.
The process really has gone smoothly, with no major surprises. We're really happy with our contractor and the input they've provided.
The next images I show you will likely be the end result!
I received my most recent Stitch Fix package yesterday. I asked for business attire that I could easily wear to work, but I also wanted items that could be worn with jeans for a semi-casual look too. My stylist delivered!
If you follow me on Instagram you saw a sneak peek in my box...
Here's a recap of the items in my box and what I ended up keeping.
This top was the first thing I saw and I thought "Oh I love the color and the pattern." It fit well, but the high round neck is one that doesn't look good on me. The material the front of the top was made of was also sort of odd. It reminded me of something my step-grandmother used to wear. I sent this back.
This was the second top in the box. The color was gorgeous...a rich teal that wasn't too turquoise or blue or green. I also loved the cut and style of this. Sadly it was too tight across my chest. I just couldn't keep it.
I loved this blazer the moment I touched it. The material is a lovely weave that's stretchy but not as flimsy as jersey. It fits perfectly and can easily be dressed up or down. It was the most expensive item in my box, but I can imagine getting a ton of use out of this, so I kept it.
This was the item I was the most excited about!! I LOVE the ruffles in the back. Sadly, it was really small. It didn't come close to meeting over my chest. I loved this so much that I tried to get one of my co-workers to take it. In the end, I had to send this back. I thought I would find it online and buy the size larger. Turns out this is a StitchFix owned brand, so you can't buy it elsewhere. (sad face)
(Sorry for the terrible picture of these black slacks.)
I knew when I pulled these out of the box that they were entirely too small. Granted, the material was a bit stretchy, but there was no zipper or elastic to put these on. I tried just to humor myself, but they weren't going on. They went back.
Everything I got was a size large and each item ranged greatly in actual fit. Crazy how that happens.
So all in all, I only kept one item, but I LOVE it and it made the whole process very worthwhile.
