Teacher Appreciation Stitch Fix Giveaway – Stitch Fix Review #21

May 8, 2015 Maria Manore Gavin 17 Comments

Teacher Appreciation Week might be coming to a close, but as a special encore to my readers, I have a HUGE Stitch Fix giveaway to share with you. I am partnering with some of my favorite early childhood bloggers (and fellow Stitch Fix fanatics) to bring you a teacher fashion giveaway. You could win a $200 Stitch Fix Gift Card! We are also giving away $20 gift cards to cover the styling fees for 4 lucky women.

I am SO excited to fill you in on all of the details, but first I want to show you what came in my most recent fix. Sit back and get comfy, this Stitch Fix review is a good one!

May 2015 Stitch Fix Review

The first item I tried on was this olive Patrick Cropped Chino Pant from Level 99 ($88). Right now, all of my pants are too big and saggy on me. I have been begging my stylist, Layla to send more pants my way and I was thrilled to discover these in my fix. This was the first item I reached for to try on.

Stitch Fix has successfully filled my closet with an abundance of professional clothes. But I love to dress down and go for comfort. These pants were right up my alley because they are nice enough to wear to work in my kindergarten classroom, but ideal for me to wear throughout the summer with a t-shirt.

Springtime in Michigan can bring very hot weather as well as days that are in the lower 60s. I initially paired these pants with a 3/4 sleeve relaxed top that is a favorite of mine because it’s so versatile. I love the soft colors and the instant comfort.

I had so much fun styling these pants, I am crossing my fingers and hoping for cool weather next week!

The next item in my fix was the Meryl Tulip Print Sleeveless Blouse from Pixley ($54).

Much like the chinos, the fabric of this blouse was on the casual side and could easily be dressed up for school or dressed down for a relaxed weekend. I chose to keep it relaxed and paired the top with my new olive chinos. Love, love, LOVE!

Next up was a a coral Susie Bermuda Short from Liverpool ($58). As you might guess from my otherwise conservative taste in clothes, shorts are not my favorite thing to wear. Not even bermudas. Layla probably figured this out as well. I’m certain she sent a coral pair to entice me. I have kept nearly every single coral garment she has ever sent my way.

To keep things simple, I paired the bermuda shorts with a simple white tee.

To my surprise, I liked them. I probably won’t wear these every day, but they will be perfect for outdoor school events on hot summer days. They are comfortable and very appropriate!

Item number 4 from this month’s fix was the Persia Maxi Dress from Market & Spruce ($88). Layla once again admitted that she knew I didn’t care for v-necks, but she thought it would be perfect for my upcoming honeymoon to Florida and Vegas conference this summer.

Layla was correct! I’m still not a fan of any v-necks, but this dress was gorgeous!

I added my cropped denim jacket and instantly felt more comfortable in the dress. I cannot wait to wear this ensemble later this summer.

The dress was even stunning from the back and I love the exotic print.

The final item in my fix was the Hal Crew Neck Blouse from Daniel Rainn ($68).

It’s difficult to tell in the above photo, but the blouse had a beautiful floral texture that reminded me of lace. There were also some interesting and unique cutouts along the neckline in the back.

The blouse was beautiful enough to make a statement on it’s own so I kept thing simple and paired it with a dark pair of skinny jeans and a simple gold necklace.

The blouse fit perfectly and the armholes were a little large, but easily managed by layering a white tank top underneath. While the cobalt blouse was beautiful, it was a little too dark for my taste. It felt wintry to me and after this past winter, I am desperate to wear as many bright, warm and light colors as I possibly can. Sadly, I opted to return this item.

The Breakdown

Here’s the complete list of everything that was included in my fix and which items I decided to keep.

Meryl Tulip Print Sleeveless Blouse from Pixley ($54) — KEEP
Hal Crew Neck Blouse from Daniel Rainn ($68) — RETURN
Persia Maxi Dress from Market & Spruce ($88) — KEEP
Patrick Cropped Chino Pant from Level 99 ($88) — KEEP

    I have received several fixes at this point and noticed that the quality of the clothes are not great. Some of these pieces are the same as yours. I am also a teacher and I can’t imagine wearing them to school because the seams would rip! Please let me know what you think about the uneven hems, stitching, threads and seams pulling out, and patterns not aligning. This has been a consistent problem and I just wanted to see your side of it. Take a close look a your fixes vs. other clothing bought at a similar price. I can’t believe no one ever mentions it. The clothing looks absolutely gorgeous on you though and I love how you style it! You have great taste that’s why I’m curious.

    I enjoy your stitch fix posts. I just have to tell you that when you keep 4 pieces and send one back you’re actually losing money! For example, your 4 pieces were $288 but if you would’ve kept all 5 (and maybe gifted one to a friend or donated) it would have been $283!

    Eta – actually it would’ve been $267 for all 5! I only calculated a 20% disc originally.

    I have been following you (mostly via Pinterest) since I signed up for StitchFix… I love your style and (both of) your blogs! I just had to say how excited I was to see that you got the gray tulip top — it is one of my absolute favorites, I received it a few months ago in one of my latest fixes :). Congrats again on the marriage (and debt reduction!!), and thanks as always for sharing!

      Hi Amanda and thank you for all of your sweet words! It took me several weeks to actually wear the tulip top (mostly because it was wrinkled and I was too busy/lazy to iron it) but now that it is clean and ironed, it is one of my favorite tops in the rotation!

    Hi Maria,

    Love your blog and your passion for fashion! I’m on the hunt for a cute cropped denim jacket to wear to school (I’m a high school teacher). Where did you find yours?

      Thanks Carrie! I bought my cropped jacket at old navy about 8 years ago! I wish they still carried them because mine is getting worn out and I don’t know waht I’m going to do when it falls apart!
