After trying on the Alpine Plaid Wrap Scarf with the Nori Pullover Sweater from my December Stitch Fix Shipment, I was already convinced that this was a great box of clothes. If you missed those pieces, you definitely want to click over to the first page of this post. Now that you’re here, I can’t wait to show you an alternate way to style that plaid wrap scarf.

Don’t let the way I initially styled the Alpine Plaid Wrap Scarf fool you. It’s called a wrap scarf for a reason. This was a whole lot of scarf and it also works perfectly as a wrap. I slipped on a comfortable white long-sleeve top and wrapped myself up in the warm plaid goodness.
Now I don’t know whether to wear the green sweater ensemble or this outfit in my imaginary Christmas photo.
This outfit was unbelievably cozy. I might wear it next time I take a long drive with my husband. I’m always cold in the car anyways. This way, my stylish outer layer will validly double as a blanket.
Filbert Abstract Striped Henley Blouse
The third item in my December Stitch Fix box was a teal green Filbert Abstract Striped Henley Blouse from 41Hawthorn ($58). I kept on the gray pants and boots, I just traded the Old Navy tank for a black one.
The top isn’t really my style and that’s ok because part of the fun of Stitch Fix is experimenting with new styles that you wouldn’t try on ordinarily. Unfortunately, in this case, my instincts were accurate. The print and color combination just weren’t my personal style. The blouse is also a little boxy for my taste.
I actually have the same blouse in maroon (although I would actually call it red) that I received in my 11th fix. I don’t have very many red clothing items so I kept that blouse despite it’s boxiness. You can see more photos in this blog post.
Zappo Printed Mixed Material Top
The 4th item I tried from my December Stitch Fix was the Zappo Printed Mixed Material Top from 41Hawthorn ($58). This lightweight sweater was so interesting to me. It had a funky print on polyester material, but the sleeves and back were a knit sweater material.
I’ll be the first to admit that the print is a strange and it borders on something a grandmother would have worn in the 197os. I didn’t despise the print and I liked the pops of coral in the print, so I decided to keep the top. I liked that it had knit sleeves and was different from everything else that I own.
Freida Skinny Jean
I kept on the mixed material top while I tried on the Freida Skinny Jean from Mavi ($98) that Layla also included in my fix. The item name uses the word “jean” pretty liberally because these pants were not denim. They were navy skinny pants. And because they weren’t made of denim, they had a lot of stretch and were much more comfortable than most of the actual jeans in my closet.
The jeans looked great with the Zappo Printed Mixed Material Top and my brown riding boots.
The boots are from Enzo Angiolini and I purchased them a few years ago. If you are looking for a similar style, I found this great pair on Amazon. They’re not available in my size, but I wish they were!
The pants were not only comfortable, but they also fit great. I was pleasantly surprised to see that they didn’t sag in the back.
This pair of pants was definitely a keeper!

I am in love with that plaid scarf wrap! I wish that came in my December fix!
And keep the boots, as a completely non scandalous person myself, I say it’s good to have a few things that make you feel a little bit scandalous;)
Thank you Jessica! I figure as long as I don’t wear the boots with a short tight skirt, I can probably keep any scandalous qualities under control. I love that wrap scarf too!
I love the sweater and the wrap scarf!! I am hoping for color and plaid in my next fix! And you glasses are adorable (and you in them) – From a glasses wearer 😉
Thank you Megan! I think I am really coming around to the idea of wearing glasses often!
Another great fix! I love the pants! I need to see if Teresa can send those to me. I have that same 41Hawthorn top. I kept it but I never seem to wear it. It is something about the fabric that I just can’t get past. Live and learn :-). And you totally rock those boots! 😉
Thank you Jen! I have definitely had several “live and learn” moments from my fixes too!
Very cute fix! I got a blanket scarf (in a different pattern) and sent it back because I had NO idea what to do with it. You make it look easy! No link-up this month? I was hoping you’d do it again. So fun!
Hi Stacie! You are so sweet! Scarves are my favorite thing to try and style. As for the link-up, I usually host the link-ups on Crazy Together. My next fix arrives around Christmas and when I post that one, it will be on Crazy Together with a link up 🙂
Ah, ok! I guess I didn’t even realize that because they are both you! I’ll look for that 🙂
Maria, that blanket scarf is positively cozy!! It is just beginning to get “COLD” in St. Louis and I am starting to a add a lot more layers.
I will admit that I specifically ask for no patterns because I am very very touchy about patterns, this patterned top would be WAY too much for me- but it looks really good on you. Patterns seem to draw way too much attention to my “problem areas”. Hah!
Thanks for sharing.

I love the green sweater and the scarf. I think a tank that matches your pants is less distracting.
I think feeling a little scandalous occasionally can be a good thing 🙂 Keep the boots, they look great
I’m thinking about starting my Stitch Fix wardrobe. Do you know if it’s possible to request a stylist? I’m also a school teacher and really like the clothing options your stylist sends you.
Hi Lory! You can always makes request for a specific stylist by emailing customer service. They try their best to honor your request.
Hi, Maria! I just wanted to drop a note to say how much I enjoy your blog. I recently tried Stitch Fix (love!) and then stumbled on your blog while looking for Stitch Fix reviews. I love your style and reviews! I also have four young children, one of whom will be starting kindergarten next year, and I enjoy reading about your teaching experiences, projects, and ideas. Thank you for sharing!
