Stitch Fix Review – July 2014

The first piece that I knew I had to try on was the Angie Tenessy Chevron Print Maxi Dress. It was a beautiful green and white chevron print and the fabric was incredibly comfortable. I loved the thicker straps on the dress that allowed me to wear it with a normal bra and the higher neckline that made it look modest, but fashionable without showing lots of cleavage. I paired the dress with the Street Level Bonnie Striped Straw Clutch, which I immediately knew I’d like as soon as I saw it. It looks like an awesome day or night out essential, especially suited for the summer season. As cute as the pieces looked, I had to take a pass on both. Asking myself how often I’d wear the maxi dress, I couldn’t find many situations where I would prefer it over a shorter version of a similar dress. I couldn’t imagine constantly having to hold my dress up so I wouldn’t step on it during an event. However,  since trying this item on and loving it, I would consider buying a maxi dress in future as it was just so cute! I also passed on the clutch. My reasoning was the zipper and the fact that it got stuck several times while I was showing the item off to one of my friends. A sticky zipper is a non-negotiable with me as I don’t always have the patience to keep trying to open/close my purse until it works.
