With all the boxes being delivered to my front porch this month, my December Stitch Fix is one of my most anticipated. Sure, I’ve got lots of clothes in my closet by now, but there is something about the holidays that makes me want to treat myself to a little something-something while I’m shopping for everyone else!
Here’s my stylist note for December:
Disappointed in last month’s Fix of casual tops, so let’s try again! Think super soft, drapy, comfortable tops that I can wear on the weekends and still look cute (v-necks are best). Nothing that will cling to my tummy. I pinned a few new pins for you to check out. Maybe one sparkly item for Christmas.

Before we check out the individual items, I should probably warn you that this Fix was pretty terrible. In fact, it was so terrible I couldn’t resist making this sneak peek video:

Now, let’s take a closer look at what was in my December Fix:
Item #1: Laila Jayde Whistler Relaxed Fit Knit Top – $54
Apparently the phrase “relaxed fit” is totally subjective, because this fit is in no way relaxed on my body type. I tried to be a good sport and take a picture anyways…
The rest of the outfit: exact pants and exact boots.
I pretty much hate everything about this top, other than the color. The black accents on the shoulders look like I’m wearing Hunger Games pajamas, it is made out of a weird fabric that somehow clings to all the wrong spots AND it is super itchy so I’m going to just go with the phrase, “um… NOPE!”
Item #2: Papermoon Arriba Embroidery Neckline Raglan Knit Top – $48
This top is kinda cute with the raglan knit fabric and the contrasting sleeves. There is even some snazzy embroidery around the neckline that gives it a little something extra special.
The rest of the outfit: exact pants and exact boots.
I don’t dislike it, but I also don’t love it. To spend $48 on a casual shirt, I’m going to have to love it!
Item #3: THML Lucine Faux Leather Trim Open Cardigan – $98
Can somebody please explain to me what the hell is happening here? Am I being eaten by a giant sweater or did Mrs. Roper from Three’s Company send me the world’s ugliest housecoat?! I’m not really sure what my stylist was thinking when she looked over everything I’ve purchased over the past couple years and then pulled THIS out for me to try.
The rest of the outfit: similar top, exact pants and exact boots.
I’m further baffled that my stylist decided to size up on this to an XL! This cardigan is so ugly that I’m almost offended that it was sent to me.
Item #4: Skies are Blue Melle Fringe Detail Pullover Poncho – $68
Woah, a poncho. Well, this is totally outside my comfort zone… which is good, right? I’ve never actually tried a poncho on, because they seem a bit too hippy-dippy to me. I mean, other people look really good in them… I’m just not really sure about ME in a poncho. On the other hand, it’s a socially acceptable way to LITERALLY wear a blanket as clothing. But, what the heck do I do with my arms?
The rest of the outfit: exact pants and exact boots.
Okay, one side of me thinks it looks pretty cute and very ‘fashion-y’ in the picture, but the other side thinks it looks like I stuck my head through a tree skirt. I just can’t get over the fact that I’m wearing a blanket as clothing (even though blanket scarves are totally my jam). I could really see liking this if I were pregnant because it’s a super cute way to hide a little baby bump. However, that ship has sailed and so will this… right back to Stitch Fix.
Item#5: Papermoon Danza Raglan Printed Sleeve Knit Top – $48
Oh thank goodness, a keeper. I was getting worried that I was going to lose my styling fee by sending the whole box back! This top is AMAZING with super soft knit and really adorable contrasting sleeves. It’s actually the same brand as the other baseball-sleeve top, but this one is so much better. I can see myself wearing with tons of different outfits – it looks equally cute with my black jeans, blue jeans and burgundy skinny jeans.
The rest of the outfit: exact pants and exact boots.
Am I being a bit of a Grinch, or did this Fix kind of suck? Luckily I really like the Papermoon printed sleeve top, so I won’t lose my Stylist Fee. But HOLYMOLY wasn’t the rest of it pretty terrible?! Looks like there is no need for a survey this month, but I’d love to hear your comments anyways!
Can you rock a poncho without looking like a baby wrapped in a blanket? Does anyone actually LIKE the open cardigan? I’m trying out a new bright lipstick, are you digging it?
Pssssssst… make sure you come by tomorrow for a super awesome HOLIDAY GIFTCARD GIVEAWAY BONANZA!!!
