Stitch Fix

I live in the middle of nowhere. Sort of.
Most days I love it! Some days I have to remind myself that I really do like it.

I can hear the interstate hum when my windows are open. My nearest neighbor is about two miles away. I have to drive 8 miles to buy gas or groceries, and that's just a small town grocery store that's never heard of hummus (gasp!!). 

I have to drive one to two hours to go clothes shopping. Shopping is not always my thing. When I go, I prefer to be alone. I like to look, try on and leave. And it usually takes me about 10 minutes for all three. With two small children it's hard to shop for myself. Since I'm still nursing my baby I can't really take off on a rainy day when my husband is home as it's several hours driving. Occasionally I do get to go when we're out as a family, but its not the same as being out shopping alone.

Recently I read a blog post by a friend about Stitch Fix. I filled out a profile in my newly acquired account. They picked out five pieces to send me. I received my exciting package and have three days to look things over, try them on in my home with my other clothes, and on my own time. I either keep everything (receiving a 25% discount if purchasing the entire "Fix"), or just pay for the items I want to keep and return the rest in a prepaid USPS envelope.

My sisters are more fashionable than I am, but I'm getting out there...slightly. :) This is a great chance for me to do something fun and try something new.

At the risk of totally embarrassing myself with these pictures, I thought I would share with you all my first "Fix!" I'm not crazy about every item, but it was fun trying out what I would never have picked up in a store.






I think I'm going to keep at least one item, maybe two. I still have one more day to decide. 

Check it out and give it a try! Here's my reference link right here!

8 Months Have Come and Gone

I can't believe how fast the time goes! 

Here's to eight months of joy with my little sweetie who is forever laughing, smiling or has her fingers in her mouth. :)
