August Stitch Fix Review

August 24, 2017

Hello, babes!
My August Stitch Fix Review has arrived, woohoo! It’s so surreal to say August, geeze. I’m going to be 32 in a couple months, and I feel like that number is definitely creeping up on me! Anyway, on to the fix and the end-of-summertasticness that it tuned out to be. This round, I asked for an off-shoulder top, some colorful tanks, and a new maxi dress.
I’ll start with the maxi dress, which was most definitely my least favorite piece in my fix. I’m not a self-hater by far, but trust me when I say that this is a dress that will only look flattering on a super skinny chick. It’s one of those dresses that clings to every little part of you, accentuating EVERYTHING. Also the self-tie belt was a little ridiculous. The rest of the pieces those were SO cute and perfect for the season. Read on to hear my thoughts on the rest of this month’s fix..

Top / Stitch Fix // Capris / Old Navy // Bag / Forever 21 // Necklace / Gorjana

This embroidered-neck top was SO cute when I pulled it out of the box, but wearability because such an issue with this one. It looked off wearing a bralette, because of the neckline, but because of the sheerness, you could see my strapless bra quite visibly. At $32, it was a great deal, but I kind of have to be able to wear a bra.
Top, $32, returned.

Tank / Stitch Fix // Cropped denim / Old Navy // Bag / Botkier // Long & Short necklaces / Gorjana from Rocksbox (use code “kristinbff320” for your first month free) // Sandals / JustFab

Ahhhh, this print! So vivid, so cheery and floral. The lace-up detailing is a cute touch, and I love that the bag and shoe pairings with this top are endless.
Tank, $36, kept.

Citrus top / Stitch Fix // Cropped jeans // Old Navy // Choker lariat / Poppy Apparel (use code “dressedfortime” at checkout for 10% off) // Bag / Nordstrom // Sandals / Just Fab

“Totes adorbs” is the first thought that came to mind when trying on this top. At second glance, though, it was a little bit, and also had a small snag in the front. I tried to swap it out for a smaller size, but it wasn’t available, so, at $48, it was sent back.

This silly thing, haha. At $58, it wasn’t the most I’d ever spend on a maxi dress, but I would pay more for one that fit better. Dress, returned.

Top / Stitch Fix // Cropped distressed jeans / Old Navy // Bag / Trive Alive from the Box of Style // Choker / Gorjana // Sandals / JustFab

So this top I was on the fence about until the end. It had a sheer printed bandana-like material on the back, but the front just seemed a touch basic to me. Not special enough to warrant keeping.
Top, $48, returned.

Overall, I thought I was going to be keeping more from this fix, but after remembering I’m really trying to pare down my wardrobe to basics and pieces I can’t live without, I kept only the one tank that I fell in love with. I hope you enjoyed my August Stitch Fix review!

My Perfect Summer Dress – Worn Two Ways

August 22, 2017

Hello, hello, my loves!
If you’re reading this after seeing my post on Instagram, you will already know the news… these long locks are no more! My photographer brought to my attention, actually the afternoon of my big chop, that I still had one last post to share before the big reveal. She asked me if I was going to look back at our shoot, this shot in particular, and regret my decision. More about that in my next post!
For now, I just want to rave some more about this perfect maxi dress that I discovered while browsing around on Amazon’s prime day. It wasn’t included in the deals, but that didn’t matter, because it was still under $30! It comes in like a bagillion colors, OK, closer to 35, but I fell in love with this one because the print reminded me of something Reformation would create. I have neither the budget for that brand, nor am I even sure that they carry my size, plus there’s Amazon Prime soooo.
I wanted to share a couple of different ways to style a dress like this, because first instinct would be to throw on a pair of flat sandals and call it a day. For the first look, I chose some brand new white sneaks, a denim jacket, little crossbody bag and delicate layered necklaces. This is so perfect for brunch with the girls or a date where you know you’ll be walking a bunch. Later on in the post, I paired it with some mixed-metal mules, my favorite O-ring bag, and some oversized sunnies. I’d definitely wear this to go shopping or grabbing a quick dinner with the boyfriend. I hope you enjoy the looks!

Dark Florals & Jord Wood Watch Giveaway

August 15, 2017

Hello, loves!
I seriously can not get over how quickly this year has gone by! Admittedly, the first couple months of 2017 were a little blurry for Mark and I, with two family members passing away and a flood in our front room, but even still, I feel like it was April just yesterday! Another month of summer, and fall will already be upon us.
Planning ahead a bit, I’m loving the idea of bringing florals in to fall. Let’s be honest, I could wear them all year round, but some of the neon and pastel florals don’t really translate well into colder weather. I’ve found that sticking to prints that have either a dark background (grey, navy, black), or ones that have autumnal-themed flowers (red, plum, yellow, orange), can give a piece a lot more versatility in terms of being able to wear it seamlessly throughout the year. I love pairing florals with more substantial jewelry pieces, like a statement necklace, or an oversized watch. The rose gold trim and purpleheart links of this Jord watch make it the perfect transition piece into fall and winter.
I’ve been a longtime fan of Jord, and when they reached out and offered to hold a giveaway for my readers and followers, I was all about it! I think the wooden watches are really cool, and I especially love the uniqueness of the one I picked out. Details of the giveaway are at the bottom of this post 😀

Damask Crochet Midi Dress

August 7, 2017

Hey, babes!
So, I’ll be completely honest with you all about this dress… When I first took it out of the box, I wasn’t too sure about it! It looked a little shapeless and frumpty-dumpty, but I’m glad that I reserved final judgement until I actually tried it on. It has great movement, I’m in love with the fun and cheery print, and the crochet trim is such a great textural element! I decided to keep the boho vibe going and paired it with a druzy tassel necklace, beaded wrap bracelet, and some espadrille wedges. I love this look for a casual date night or brunch with the babes!
I’m so happy that it has been cooling off (slightly) in my neck of the woods, aka Southern California. M and I went down to San Diego to visit with my papa yesterday and it was about 15 degrees cooler! It was blissful sitting on his patio, with the light breeze and views of the foothills. We came back home and there was actually a chill in the air, and it made me really want to work on getting our patio and backyard in better condition for hosting outdoor parties as fall approaches. Right now we have a table with 4 chairs, a grill, and that’s about it! I’d love to get an outdoor cooler, some fun storage options and definitely more seating. I’d love recommendations on where to find some reasonably priced, and cute of course, outdoor décor! Side note, I can totally see myself wearing this outfit to host an end-of-summer party, can’t you?
