I cannot stop ranting and raving about Stitch Fix. This styling service has me 100% hooked! I love how easy it is, and it's nice to have someone else do the footwork for me since I'm so busy with school. For this Fix, I requested a dress to wear for a little engagement party my friends are throwing me here in Florida, a celebration before people start to graduate and leave town. Ask, and I received!
Item #1: Maude Floral Dress by Le Lis
Even though I recently bought a black and white striped dress, and have another black and white one hanging in my closet, I am keeping this dress. The fit is perfect, it is lightweight, and very trans-seasonal. It's also the type of dress that can go from one event to the next; I think I could style it casually for day, dress it up a bit for church, add a blazer for work, or dress it up for night by adding a sparkly belt!
Item #2: Knox Polka Dot Dress by Kensie
When I first opened up the box and saw this dress, I was a little skeptical. It's not something I would probably try on or take home from the store, but after trying it with different things in my closet I could't even think about sending it back! I love it paired here with this rosey statement necklace... I got the idea from my stylist, who had said she had tailored everything in the Fix to my engagement ring. I wish my engagement ring was back from being sized!
Item #3: Floria Split Back Knit Top by Papermoon
I love the idea of this top, as the split back detail is a huge trend right now, but it was just not for me. I'm not a fan of too-sheer tops (I really hate having to wear a camisole underneath) and the overall look wasn't something I love. Oh well!
Item #4: Sue Eyelet Detail Top by Skies Are Blue
Aside from the sheerness, this top is perfect! When I saw it in the box, I thought it'd be perfect for Italy this summer, but the whole cami situation bothers me. But the detailing is great! Skies Are Blue is slowly becoming one of my favorite brands... There has been an item from them in every single Fix!
Item #5: Allison Keyhole Detail Blouse by Daniel Rainn
This is a cute top, the cut is definitely not something I own, but the heart print throws me off a bit! The sheerness of this one doesn't bother me as much as the other two tops, but alas at the end of the day this one went back too.
I kept only the two dresses, but I'm so happy with those that it makes the tops seem insignificant. What's great about Stitch Fix is that they push you to try new things, and even if they don't always work out it's still very exciting and fun! I really want to schedule my next Fix, but since I'll be in Europe in LESS THAN A MONTH I guess I'll have to wait until I get back.
I haven't decided which dress to wear for my engagement party this weekend... what are your thoughts?

I think you made good choices here about what to keep and what to return. I can see you getting a lot of wear from that first dress. That pink/floral tank looks so cheap from the front! Not a fan at all. The floral back would have made a much better top. I think you should wear your new black and white dress with a colored cardigan or fun heels to your engagement party!
