Stitch Fix #33

Another month another Stitch Fix box came in the mail. I am not sure if I am just getting pickier about the clothes I like or if I am just not having good luck with the things that are coming in my box.

This first shirt was actually navy blue though it looks black in this picture. The shirt was very cute but the top was a sheer fabric and you could see my bra though it.  It would have been fine with a sweater but all the cute details would have hidden so I decided to send it back.

This next shirt also had a bra showing problem due to the neckline.  The pattern was also not my style so I knew pretty quickly that this one had to go back too.


I would love a pair of white shorts so I was excited to see these in my box. The long pockets on the side of these short were their downfall.  I am not lacking in hips so the pockets bulged even though the waist was the correct size.  Obviously these too had to go back. While I still don't have a pair of white shorts I did pick up a fabulous pair of white jeans last week.


I have been really into midi skirts recently but this midi dress was just kind of boring. It was also too big in my upper body.


There was nothing per say wrong with this one but there was also nothing particularly special about it either so I decided to send it back.  I am generally not a big fan of light denim on me so maybe why this one didn't work for me.


My next box is supposed to arrive this week so hopefully it contains something fabulous that I just can't live without!

Life Lately

Nothing super big has been going on around here so figured I would put all the little things into one post.

I have this "vicious" guard dragon guarding my desk at work.  He has a a couple of signs that he sits in front of but this one about being awesome is his favorite.


There is a new fish and chips place down the street from my office so last week my husband and I had a lunch date to try it out. I had the cod sandwich which was pretty good but I think next time I am going to just have regular fish and chips because the fish was easily the best part of meal.

My sister in law was in town for our niece's confirmation so we decided to have a girl's afternoon so we went and got pedicures. Not that I don't get my toes done regularly the rest of the year but when it is sandal season I make sure to pick fun colors since my toes get seen a lot more this time of year.

I didn't actually get to go to my niece's conformation because it happened to fall on the same day as my mom's birthday. My husband went to the confirmation and I drove down to my parent's house to celebrate my mom's birthday. I wore my yellow flowered dress again.  I have been getting lots of use out of my very fun spring dress.


My parents went to an auction a few months ago and bought a thing where a chef comes to your house and cooks for a dinner party for you. My mom decided to use it for her birthday dinner so a bunch of people came over to my parent's for dinner. The table looked all pretty and fancy and the food was delicious. I only managed to take a picture of my fabulous salad because I was too busy eating all the yummy food (hello white chocolate bread pudding) and talking.



My sister in law was here until Tuesday so after work on Monday she, our niece and I took a trip to Ulta to do a little makeup shopping.


I have been thinking about getting this blush palette for a while so I took this opportunity to actually buy it. I have been having fun all week trying all the different colors.


Even though the weather is warming up and summer is fast approaching I couldn't resist this candle I found at Target last week.  I went in to buy a card for my mom and of course came out with lots of other things in addition to the card I am came in for.  Target is a dangerous place.
The next few weekends are also fairly quiet as of now but you never knows what might end up on my calendar.
