Scarf Reveal Day // Second Annual Fall Scarf Exchange 2016

Happy Scarf Exchange Day!!! Thank you for joining Courtney, Elizabeth and me for the Second Annual Fall Scarf Exchange! I'm so excited to see what lovely scarves everyone got because you can never have too many and Christmas is coming up...;)

The happiest package ever.

First off, I was partnered with the amazing Desiree and pretty much struck gold in the partner's department. Go check out her blog to see what I got her (I was off my blogging game and didn't snap a teaser picture, oops.)

Desiree got me the prettiest plaid jewel-toned blanket scarf, ever! I basically just want to cuddle under this day and night. I have worn it three times already since I got it in the mail so that evens out to be once per week!

In her note she specifically said she pictured me pairing this with my chambray shirt and so I obliged ;)

I must also note that Desiree is a saint for including Pumpkin Spice chocolates. Bless you and thank you!!!

Now it's your turn! Add your link below!

Stitch Fix #1 {Birthday Fix}

I'm pretty much the last blogger ever to try Stitch Fix so I figured I'd treat myself for my birthday and schedule my very first Fix! I have been Pinning away months before scheduling and pretty much read up on all those "How to get your best Fix" posts out there (this one from Kerry is good!) I'm not even going to go into detail on how Stitch Fix works but I'll leave my referral link right here just in case there's someone even later than myself to the SF party ;) Affiliate links used. A small commission may be received if you purchase an item through my links. Thank you for supporting my blog!

Stitch Fix thoughts from a Newbie:

This was so much fun! Even if you only do one Fix, the experience is totally worth it!

I have since updated my profile to stay away from blue as this whole box was a bit too blue-heavy.

Every piece in this box was something I would wear if the colors were different. Marcus did an excellent job. I hope this doesn't sound sexist, but I didn't even know there were male stylists(!) but he nailed my style. I'm not ready to commit to a stylist but I will definitely keep his name on file :)

The Style Cards do nothing for me. Like I'm not inspired in the least. I understand the purpose and I like the idea but the flat lays just seem well, flat. lol Case in point: the Shayne striped sweater looks awful in the picture but I loved it on!

Now on to the goods!

Papermoon Armand Lace Detail Knit Top | $44 {small}

I love me a good tee! This was super soft and I liked how it draped but I don't wear blue and the lace detail showed straps, a big ole pet peeve. And for the price I just wasn't sold. Returned.

Mak Shayne Striped Pullover | $48 {small}

Like I stated above, first glance at this sweater on the style card and I was repulsed- it reminded me of a retro 70's turtleneck (again, this was at first glance lol) but once I tried it on, I really liked it! It was soft, had great texture and of course, stripes. I was even going to go out of my comfort zone because I don't wear this color blue, but then I discovered the flaw- this random knot/snag and I just had to let it go. Returned.

Market & Spruce Evella Boatneck Top | $64 {small}

This top. I can't even begin to say how DELIGHTED I was when it came in my box! I absolutely fell in love with it when Laura had it in her last Fix and instantly pinned it to my SF board. And Marcus stated that he took it right from my board when he was packing my box! This one top pretty much made this experience for me! Kept!
***Also I must note that Kinsey told me how to pose for this one and insisted I cross my legs ;) Whatever the photographer wants.***

41Hawthorn Concord Striped Draped Pocket Cardigan | $58 {small}

Another item that is me in theory but the colors are all off. This was described as "purple" which I disagree, royal blue would be a better describer but I digress; I almost made another exception because it draped beautifully and I'm a sucker for pockets. But again it came down to price, I wouldn't spend that much for a thin cardigan. Returned.

Octavia Hayley Bird Print Infinity Scarf | $28 {one size}

I specifically asked for a scarf and was delighted when this bird print infinity was included (I had seen the lavender version during a Pin session and just about swooned.) I debated big time since this is a color I don't gravitate to, but it would pair nicely with my mustard cardigan and any of my gray pieces and then common cents kicked in (do I sound cheap or what?! Haha but seriously, that's pretty pricey for a scarf in my opinion.) Returned.
*** I was tickled that it showed how to loop the scarf, that is all.***

And that was my first Fix! What would you have kept? Did I let go of something I shouldn't have?
