After getting two fixes where the tops were a tad big, I decided to size down on my style profile. I was a bit nervous everything would be too small, but as you will see below, the fit was much better. Here's what I got:
Market & Spruce Gillia Lace Detail Knit Top - $58
I really love certain aspects of this top. I love the stripes and the fabric is SUPER soft. I like the tab on the sleeves and that they're 3/4 length. I like the idea of the lace on the shoulder, but do not like it on this top. I think the lace pattern is too weird busy and I hate showing bra straps (strapless bras are awkward while nursing). For the price tag of Stitch Fix items, I need to love it to keep it and this one didn't do it for me. RETURNED
Skies are Blue Taven V-Neck Blouse - $44
This item matched my style the least of all the items this fix. It fits well (yay for new size being right), but I don't like how the orange stripe doesn't match the rest of the colors in the shirt. Because of this, I know I won't reach for it. RETURNED
Loveappella Delemos Hooded Knit Top - $58
This top was just no good for me. The colors are drab, the "hood" (it's really just a funnel neck) was too much fabric for me to get to lay right, the material was oddly thin and looked like it was covered in lint. I love a good sweatshirt to throw on when it cools off in the evenings, but this only looked like a sweatshirt while just being a shirt. Definitely not a match for me. RETURNED
Kut from the Kloth Kate Boyfriend Jean - $88
I've never tried boyfriend jeans before. I'm not sure if this is how the boyfriend style is supposed to fit, but I wasn't feeling it. I suspect that they will grow throughout the day and in this stage of life, both of my hands are typically busy and don't have time for hiking up my pants. I've heard that this brand tends to run big, so maybe it was just that. The length also seems to be a bit off on me. (The cuff is sewn in.)
Spoiler: I decided not to keep anything this fix, so I posted my items on a Facebook buy/sell/trade board for Stitch Fix items. Within a couple hours (it has over 21k members!), a lady messaged me to buy these jeans (and the top below). She paid full price for both items, covered the shipping cost and PayPal fees. (PayPal charges 2.9% + $.30 to use their site for transactions.) This is a great way not to "lose" the $20 styling fee. (When you buy any item, the $20 is credited toward the purchase.) Thanks Linda. SOLD
41Hawthorn Beckett Graphic Print V-Neck Blouse - $48
This was my favorite item (style-wise) in the box. I liked the teal color and print. If I had to keep one item, it was going to be this one. I didn't absolutely love it because the armpit holes were a bit too big/low and the v-neck cut pretty deep. If the fabric wasn't laying just right, it put "everything" on display. (I decided it was best to keep those pictures off the world wide web.) I was going to have my mom take it up at the shoulders, but decided that a $48 top should already be perfect. Also, it was hand wash only, which is just not ideal for me, so I was glad to be able to sell it (with the jeans). SOLD

All and all, this box was a bust for me. BUT since I didn't spend any money (and have $47 of free money to spend), I've already scheduled another fix for mid-October. I'll let you know what I get.
