Stich Fix Review

I posted a video on my channel the other day about my first experience with Stitch Fix (this is not a sponsored post FYI). Stitch Fix is a company that provides styling services delivered to your door based on your personal preferences. When you sign up for Stitch Fix you fill out a questionnaire that asks you about your shape, size, budget, lifestyle, etc. After answering all the questions and paying a styling fee of $20, Stitch Fix sends you a box containing five potential pieces to add to your wardrobe. After trying on your items, you keep what you like and send back what you don't. The $20 you paid up front gets taken out of your grand total no matter how many pieces you keep.  You can watch the video below to hear how my first experience went. I give you an in-depth look at everything that came in my box, what I'm keeping, what I'm returning, and what really disappointed me about this first go-round. I also go into more detail below the video.

OOTD #15 | Old Navy All Over

I am totally guilty of sticking to mostly neutrals during the fall and winter months. This year I'm trying to branch out a little and opt for more colorful pieces to brighten up these gray days. I'm decked out head to toe in Old Navy today. They have awesome sweaters at affordable prices. The one I'm wearing below came in so many different colors I had the hardest time choosing just one. If you haven't been there in a while, definitely give it a try.

This OOTD was actually from earlier this week -- but I completely forgot to share it with you. It's been more winter-like than fall-like here in PA, so sweaters have been 100% necessary. I love this cozy look I had on the other day. Outfit details are below :)

Classic White Pant

Being on a bit of a fashion and beauty diet lately (aka currently giving my best attempt at saving vs. spending) the extent of my shopping has been reduced to a strict necessities-only with a side of online window shopping. Look don't buy. Sure that's a little dangerous, but I like to think I can exercise some self control. 

Anyway, since I'm just browsing for now, I thought I'd share my latest favorite finds...

Luxe green blouse / Preen floral wide leg pants / Chinese laundry shoes / Oscar de la Renta pearl earrings

I've always been SO obsessed with long, white, wide leg pants. When I saw the ones above I was inspired to find some Spring-appropriate items to complete the look. I'm loving the mint blouse with the cute accents on the shoulders. I think accented pieces like this one allow you to keep it simple with jewelry while still looking glam and put together. That's exactly why I chose these classic, chic Oscar de La Renta pearl drop earrings and basic black, ankle cuff heels. This outfit certainly puts me in the mood for Spring!

My Spring Bag & Wallet Combo

I was in desperate need of a new wallet. My old wallet was from Target so I decided to head back there for a new one. My choice was a difficult one -- they have a TON of cute prints and styles out for Spring right now, all at an affordable price. I found a cute bright coral-pink zip wallet with gold accents (below) that ended up being exactly what I was looking for. 

I was about to leave when a few handbags caught my eye. It had been AGES since I purchased a new handbag so I figured I'd pick one up while I was there. I ended up choosing an ivory Mossimo hand bag (below) which I thought paired nicely with the bright colored wallet. The bag is extremely roomy without being too overwhelming large. I prefer it without the cross body strap, but either way these two items will be on my arm all Spring! I thought I'd share these items with you in case you are in search of a new handbag/wallet combo for the upcoming season...

Dreaming of Spring -- Affordable Fashions

With winter still in full force here in Pittsburgh my wardrobe has become increasingly drab and boring. I now cringe every time I throw on another oversized sweater and shimmy my pants over one pasty-pale leg at a time. I dream sweet dreams of warmer weather filled with pastels, skater skirt dresses, high waisted shorts, and cute sandal wedges.

Since half the time it's been too life threatening to leave the comfort of my home (slight exaggeration) and enter into the arctic tundra, I've been perusing the wonderful world of the Internet to fulfill my own version of at-home window shopping. I've come across some awesome clothes and shoes for Spring and thought I'd share them with you. One of my favorite little corners of the world wide web to plan where I'll spend my tax return money? TOBI. You'll understand when you see below (I could've easily shared just about their entire collection of clothing and shoes).

Also, if you'd like to see two of my latest videos from my YouTube channel, you can click here or scroll to the very bottom of this post. Enjoy! :)

OOTD #5 | Leggings Are Pants

Today I actually had to compose myself, put on normal clothes, some makeup and face the frigid Pittsburgh air. Still feeling under the weather, I knew I had to keep super comfy. Think leggings aren't pants? Most days I would agree with you -- but today -- they are. Oh and if things look a little different, it's 'cause they are -- I will update in another post. :)

Scarf | H&M (old)

Sweater | Forever 21 (similar here & here)
