It seems like a long wait since the last one in June but at last, I finally received my latest StitchFix box #3!!!

I must admit, when I received the email notification that it was on it’s way, I peaked to see what it was.  With this diet I’m on, I decided I really wasn’t mentally prepared for any surprises.  I knew before the box arrived that I would probably only be keeping a couple of items but I would keep an open mind while I awaited the arrival.

The box arrived one day after the email notification which caught me totally off-guard!  I opened the box and there was a surprise gift inside from my stylist, Erin.  I really like her and I feel like she is pretty much on track with items I would like.

Box#3 included:

Bujibaja – Crysti Straw Tote in the color tan (item 59995961) $96.00.

ZSupply – Derick Scoop Neck Knit Top in the color teal green (item 69283466) $34.00

Studio Blue – Kadence Distressed Denim Short in the color white (item 700005579) $38.00

French Grey – Evalynn Brushed Knit Dress in the color red (item 72380051) $48.00

FORTUNE + IVY – Tayler Tie Front Knit Top in the color blue (item 72613753) $38.00

About Box #3… Items being returned.

The tote is $96.00!  Seriously… $96.00 for a tote to take to the beach?  In all honesty I have several totes that I use for beach time so this is not a necessary item for me.  And besides, just because it costs more doesn’t mean it is better.  The tote is being returned.

Also being returned is the dress.  It isn’t that I didn’t like it or that it didn’t fit.  That is not it.  I’m returning it because when I tried it on, it just didn’t feel right.  So, the dress is in the return bag.  I’m a little sad about that, but I’m sure I will get over it.

But I am keeping the 3 remaining items!  They are perfect for our upcoming cruise as well as everyday wear in this Texas heat!

The final cost for the 3 items after the addition of sales tax and the credit for the styling fee was $99.09.  I’m not complaining about the cost since the quality of the items I’m keeping is excellent.  I wonder what my hubby will have to say about it if and when he reads this blog!

I have plans to wear the blue top with my Kut From the Kloth boyfriend jeans I received in my very first StitchFix box on our drive to the port when we go on our cruise.  Now I just need to figure out what shoes and other accessories I will need for it.  I have not made a definite decision as to whether the shorts and teal shirt will also be going on the cruise or not.  But I still have a little bit of time to make that final decision!!!

I’m anxiously awaiting the arrival of StitchFix Box #4 scheduled to arrive on September 29!!!
