I always peek at my Stitch Fixes before they arrive. I can't help it. I struggle with patience, and once I know that box is on its way and I can see what's in it, I can't help myself.

Peeking is usually a mistake. The items are never well represented by one small flat lay photo. Ever. I'm usually disappointed, and then even more disappointed thinking about the limbo that these items are in as they are delivered to a house where they aren't wanted. (Too dramatic, I know.) The fix arrives, and nine times out of ten, I'm pleasantly surprised.

This fix was that one time where the surprise wasn't as pleasant.

(Confused? Here's the run down on Stitch Fix:

Stitch Fix is a personal stylist subscription box service. You sign on to their website, fill out a questionnaire regarding your wardrobe wants and needs, and a stylist chooses 5 items for you and they're shipped to your front door. You're only charged for what you keep, and the $20 styling fee goes toward whatever you purchase. Interested? Check out my referral link here and get your first styling fee waived!)

Let's get down to it!
