Stitch Fix #3

It has been literally YEARS since I've done a Stitch Fix order, but with my successes at finally losing some weight, I decided to place an order. Plus, my neighbor/friend, Susie, has been working there for a few years and was quitting so I wanted to see what she would pick for me, ha. If you want to see my other fixes plus the Fix I did for Drew, click HERE.

Here's what Susie sent me in my Fix!

1. Daniel Rainn - Liona Flutter Detail Blouse - Size S - Kept

2. Democracy - Stacey High Rise Fray Hem Skinny Jeans - Size 6 - Kept

The minute I pulled this shirt out I knew it could be a keeper, 
and it fit PERFECTLY.
I love flowy tops and the colors and style were awesome.
These jeans were also really great! They are so soft and fit just right.

3. Bobeau - Bartie Hacci Ribbed Sleeve Knit Top - Size S - Kept

This shirt is SO soft and perfect for so many options.
Hanging out with friends, date night - you can wear it a lot of ways.

4. Lush - Warren Split Neck Blouse - Size S - Kept

This top is perfect for work and so many other things.
Church, date night, anything! The color and fit were also awesome.

5. Market & Spruce - Bambi Belted Cargo Jacket - Size S - Kept

The best part about your neighbor doing your Fix - 
we had just talked about my need for more jackets!
PLUS she knows my favorite color is pink. This was a huge hit!

Bottom line: This was a great fix! It definitely helped that one of my best friends picked these pieces for me because she knows my wardrobe well and knows my likes/dislikes. I love that we had been talking about me needing more outerwear, and boom, I get a jacket, ha. She picked items that were perfect for me, and now I'm super sad she doesn't work for Stitch Fix anymore!

Five on Friday

Random assortment of fun on Friday!

ONE

Apple Music

I am probably the last person on the planet to talk about this,
but I finally started using Apple Music, and I LOVE it.

I made a Christmas playlist with all my favorite songs.
I'm listening to my favorite movie soundtracks during the day.
The girls are always able to get the Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, or Ava Max song they want.
Yes, it costs per month, but I think it is AWESOME!

TWO

Hair Wand

I finally got a hair wand!
I love how easy it is to use and the results. Big fan here, HUGE!


THREE

Middle Schoolers Be Like

Please I beg you to please watch this video. I haven't laughed this hard in so long. This is every interaction I have with Trent these days.
Bonus points if you can tell me why this especially tickled me. {grin}

FOUR

We are getting a piano!

Growing up we got a piano when I was maybe 5 or 6?
My sister and I took lessons for almost 10 years.
I have always wanted our kids to learn to read music and have wanted a piano.
But I assumed it was a want that would go unfulfilled. BUT!!!
Brent's mom's church is renovating and we are getting one of theirs, I am so excited!
It's really only in need of a good cleaning, it's in great shape.
And I've already cleared out a space for it.
Brent kept telling me 'no' all while he was plotting with his mom, that sneaky man.
Drew is going to start taking lessons very soon from a mom in our neighborhood, yay!

Needs a good cleaning but isn't she a beauty?!?!

FIVE

Drew's First Communion Dress

I mentioned a few weeks ago that Drew had her First Reconciliation in preparation for her First Communion this spring. And that my mother-in-law was making her dress.

I wanted to take a short trip down memory lane first. {grin}

This is Drew's Baptism wearing a gown made by my mother-in-law.

And now this dress has been worn by 3 little girls!
~Drew ~                      ~ Beau ~                   ~ Paige ~ 

So to say I'm excited about Drew's First Communion dress is an understatement.
We picked a pattern based on a few dresses I was loving.


As I looked at my favorites, I noticed they all had some similar qualities:
empire waist, long, flowy, lace/sheer overlay.

Then I found this pattern! And with a couple of different versions, I think this nails it! The length of the yellow dress, the flutter sleeves of the floral, and the overlay on the white dress. And my mother-in-law thinks it'll be simple!

I can't wait!!
