New month, new Stitch Fix<\/a>! Hard to believe that 2016 is more than half over and that it’s July already. I found out last month that the stylist to whom I’ve grown quite attached was leaving the company due to her husband’s move, and I was curious to see what a new stylist sent in my response to a request for comfortable, casual summer clothes.<\/p>\n

Here’s my July Stitch Fix review. (If you’re new to Stitch Fix<\/a>, scroll down for an explanation of how this clothing subscription box works.)<\/a>Seriously, Stitch Fix must employ folding fairies. I love the way the clothes arrive.<\/p>\n

Marleena Knit Dress by Loveappella<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a>
\nThis dress is a similar print to another Loveapella dress, but that one is a high-low and a different neck line. This is short and a faux wrap dress. That’s different enough, right? Please say right. Because I like this.<\/p>\n

I do think I’ll update my profile to say no more blue\/turquois print dresses because Stitch Fix has a lot of them and I have a tough time resisting.<\/p>\n

Hadlie Side Slit Knit Top by Loveappella<\/strong>
\nMira Cuffed Skinny Jean by Liverpool
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a>
\nThis is an example of an outfit that may not photograph terribly well but it felt really good on. My 13-year-old daughter, the photographer, agreed that this looked better in person than it did in the photos.<\/p>\n

First the jeans. I was worried about the waist band (see a close up in the video below) but it works. They are high waisted and while that may not be super cool, they cover a multitude of sins and for that, I’m grateful. They came rolled, but you can roll them down, so I like that they can be ankle length, too, and think that means they’d work for a multitude of heights.<\/p>\n

As for the top, I love the detail on the sides and sleeves. I don’t know that it screams summer to me, but it’s light, but the sleeves may be nice to have on a cool summer night.<\/p>\n

\nNolen Printed Detail Henley Tank by Market & Spruce<\/strong>
\n(again with the Loveappella cropped jeans, styled with Mazzota Cut-Out Flats by Nine West\u00a0 from this Fix<\/a>)<\/p>\n

<\/a>The jeans that come in petite sizes make me happy.<\/p>\n

Now let’s talk about the Nolen Printed Detail Henley Tank<\/strong>. It’s definitely not something I’d pick off the rack, but one reason I like Stitch Fix is that it’s a way to gently be nudged out of my comfort zone. I’m not a girl to mix prints, this does exactly that, and in a pretty bold way.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Another Stitch Fix plus is getting to see what I already have in my closet that works with the pieces. This works with black shorts and jeans, white shorts and it turns out I have orange shorts that work well with it, too. It satisfies that multiple outfit requirement, and it’s comfy.<\/p>\n

That said, I’m torn.<\/p>\n

Dimitri Printed V Neck Dolman Knit Top by Market & Spruce<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

This is another top that doesn’t exactly screen summer to me, given the cuffed sleeves that don’t have a lot of give for pushing up and that it’s 30% polyester, which is not my favorite. I’d updated my profile to say none of that. I guess 30% isn’t a ton, but still. That said, I think it makes a good transitional top for late spring or early fall.<\/p>\n

I usually prefer smaller prints. When you’re as short as I am, the smaller the printer the better so you don’t get overwhelmed by it. The feathers on this, however, seem fun, and I like the colors. There’s that issue of the dolman waist that’s not overly flattering, however. Hmmm…<\/p>\n

So, that’s my Fix. Check out the unboxing video here, and please let me know your thoughts!<\/p>\n
