I work as an associate principal in a middle school in the Central Virginia area. Though I work only a few miles from one of the BEST malls in the region, I rarely have time to go there. With evening school commitments during the week (I teach a college class, too) I am having a really tough time getting to the mall to find clothes to wear!

I thought to myself, “Why Not”? I’m almost 40, and I feel as
if I’m stuck in a style rut. I filled out the online style profile (which was
kinda fun), set up my shipping information, and within a few days, a teal and
white box was sitting on my front doorstep! I will be honest upfront and tell
you that I was completely prepared to send the entire box back.
The contents of the box consisted of a dress, a pair of
pants, two blouses and a necklace. Also included was a bill for the contents,
and little picture cards that show how to put the pieces together. I was immediately
intrigued by the pants and the cream-colored popover blouse.
I was wearing a pair of dress pants when I got home from
work, so I decided to try the cream colored blouse on first. I LOVED the length
of it and the details on the tail and sleeves as well.


With the pants still on, I tried on the blue blouse next. I
would consider it to be just OK. The card that came with the package suggested
to try with a white/off-white pencil skirt or jeans. As I think further, it
would also look really cute with a pair of white shorts and sparkly sandals
this summer. I have the sandals; need to get the shorts! I can pick those up at
someplace like Old Navy pretty cheap, though.

The verdict? I kept all of the items. Here’s why:
·
I really only wanted the cream-colored blouse,
the dress, and the pants. However, IF I bought just those three, the price
would have totaled $190.00.
·
With the 25% discount for purchasing all 5, I
ended up paying $196.00. I know I’ll use the blue blouse in the summer, and
maybe I can re-gift the necklace.
What I’m afraid of is getting addicted to this. Since I’ve
committed to blogging about it, I plan on getting these boxes every month,
which means I need to figure out how I can finance this. Amazingly, someone
already has…the people at StitchFix have partnered up with a company called
Threadup (http://www.thredup.com/r/KQG9KB)
where they will buy your new or gently used clothing. You get paid in StitchFix
credits! If you prefer, they will credit your PayPal account, or give you
credit to their own online store! I’ve ordered a bag to send a few items in.
I’ll let you know how it goes!
