Stitch Fix #2

A few months has passed since I received my first Stitch Fix box in the mail, and I had the itch for another! I find the whole process really fun. Here's what they sent me this time!

Street Level Anchorage Diamond Printed Tote - $64

Verdict: I love the look of this, and I'm in the market for a new tote that I can use for travel instead of a backpack (I'm trying NOT to look 16 when we go on our honeymoon.) It therefore needs to fit my laptop-- and it did-- but it warped the bag's shape in a way I didn't like. I think I'm going to look for a fully vegan leather option. Sent back.

Hourglass Lily Stanley Diamond Print Hi-Lo Jersey shirt - $48

I wasn't sure about this at first, and I'm still not quite sure about the pattern. But I LOVE the fit and the keyhole in the back. Kept.

Renee C Landry Printed Cross-Front Blouse - $58

Verdict: I LOVE the shape and pattern on this, but it was just entirely too big and unflattering. You might need actual boobs for it to work. Sent back.

 Kut from the Kloth Aviva Cuffed Straight Boyfriend Jeans - $78

I have never owned boyfriend jeans. They are usually too long and too wide and make me look like an actual 12 year old boy, not a sexy grown woman in her significant other's jeans. These, however, are great! They are a slimmer cut for a boyfriend, really comfy, and I like the length with booties. Kept.

Collective Concepts Reanne Cap Sleeve Polka Dot Dress - $78

I so wanted this to work. It actually fit and was the right length, but I didn't love how it sat across my midsection or the cap sleeves. Then Tony asked me if I was keeping the "Mickey Mouse Dress." Sent back.

Here's me wearing the items I kept (minus my face, which was a blotchy mess this day!)

Have you guys perused the Stitch Fix site? Let me know if you would have kept the same items in the comments below!

Our Wedding - The Favorites

On Easter, I got a call from my mother in law wishing me happy Easter, as well as a happy 6 month wedding anniversary! I'm glad someone keeps track of these things, because I certainly haven't been. I guess six months over the course of our (almost nine year) relationship doesn't seem like that long to me at this point. But it's true! It's already been six months since we stood up in front of all of our friends and family and said "YOU GUYS IT'S THE TWO OF US FOREVER AND ALWAYS AND AIN'T NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT NOW LET'S DANCE."

In celebration of that, I thought I'd share some of my very favorite photos from that day with you all. You may have seen some of these in other places on the Internet, but I wanted to curate the best. At least-- what I think are the best! Our wedding photos were taken by Paper Hearts Vintage Photography and our venue was The Metropolitan Building in Long Island City, New York. Enjoy!

 

 

I'm also thinking about sharing our wedding songs/playlist with you guys. It's a set of 17 songs in a playlist in my iTunes that I still listen to on the regular to remind me about the day. Let me know if that's something you'd like to see!
