Three items into my August Stitch Fix review, and I was already in love! My stylist, Layla, sent the most beautiful floral dress, mint striped knit top and coordinating purse in my fix this month. If you missed those items, click the image below to read the full review.

With three new items already being added to my closet, I was excited to see what else Layla had selected. The remaining pieces were more vibrant and had certainly caught my attention. You’ll see what I mean in a moment.
Lalisa Crochet Detail Knit Top from Loveapella
My jaw nearly dropped to the floor when I realized that Layla had sent a second short-sleeved top my way this month. Admittedly, the Lalisa Crochet Detail Knit Top from Loveapella ($54) was more of a statement item that I was searching for, but it was made of cotton and it had short sleeves.
The top was beautiful from the front, but it was the lace panel in the back that made it truly special. I’m a sucker for anything lace and this was lovely.
I wore the floral shirt with white pants (similar), sandals and my silver Kate Spade watch . The colors really had a chance to pop agains the white and it was such a fun look for summer, while once again being very comfortable. The feminine statement necklace was a nice complement to the lace detail on the back of the shirt.
I was so tempted to keep this blouse, but it was a size extra small and was just a little more snug than I was comfortable with. Sadly, it was destined to be returned, but I had so much fun styling it while I tried it on!
Kamala Skinny Jean from Tinsel
The final item Layla included in my fix this month was extra vibrant. I was simultaneously excited apprehensive about the bright red Kamala Skinny Jean from Tinsel ($68) that was at the bottom of my Stitch Fix box. On the one hand, I thought, “no way – these are a little too bold for my taste.” On the other hand, I knew from experience that Layla sometimes pushes me out of my comfort level and into embracing a whole-new style that I wouldn’t consider on my own.
So I grabbed the bright red pants and headed into my closet.
There was just one problem. The pants were really tight. So tight, I could barely button them. As a result, I reached for the longest blouse I had in my closet that would match the Kamala Skinny Jean. Fortunately, the Daniel Rainn Vivienne Floral Print Sleeveless Blouse from my 19th fix looked great with the pants, especially when I added the Kut from the Kloth Callie White Denim Jacket I received in my 23rd fix (similar here). I also kept on the statement necklace and silver Kate Spade watch because they just go so well with everything.
The bright red pants may not have fit or matched my personal style, but I just know that one of you will be fabulous enough to totally rock this look. If you love bold pants, these pants might be perfect for you.
What I Kept from my Fix
Even though a few items were a bit more bright and snug than I prefer to wear, this was another fabulous fix. Here’s the breakdown of everything I decided to keep and return from fix Stitch Fix shipment #39:
Lideea Dress from Donna Morgan ($158) – KEEP
Lynden Satchel from Urban Expressions ($58) – KEEP
Catarina Knit Top from Papermoon ($44) – KEEP
Lalisa Crochet Detail Knit Top from Loveapella ($54) – RETURN
Kamala Skinny Jean from Tinsel ($68) – RETURN

It’s too bad the bold red pants were a no go because I absolutely love how you styled them with the floral top and white denim jacket! Thanks for hosting the link-up!
Thank you, Kim! I WISH I were the kind of person that could confidently rock a pair of bright red pants, but they were so not me. Sigh.
Maria, have you tried LuLaRoe? Their Amelia & Nicole dresses seem like a perfect fit with your style and your needs as a teacher. The Amelia is a pocket dress too! If you aren’t familiar & want to check it out, the last (most recent) Stitch Fix post on my blog includes links to a very good friend’s LuLaRoe shop on Facebook. I love LLR and dropped SF for it. But, as always, you are having great luck with SF and another total home run for Layla, too! -Miranda
Hi Miranda,
I have heard many good things about LuLaRoe but haven’t tried them yet. Thank you for letting me know where to look to find out more! And I agree that Layla outdid herself once again!
Adore the floral! Dress perfection.
Thank you. I couldn’t agree more! Layla sent a really great item :)
WOW! What fabulous pieces you received in this fix! That dress is absolutely stunning on you.
Thank you Pam!
Really love the dress and the Loveappella crochet top. Your closet is so amazing and you are adorable in all the outfits.
Aw, thank you Christine! Sometimes I forget how great the clothes are in my closet. The one upside to being a fashion blogger is that I find myself digging in my closet often and rediscovering favorite items that I had forgotten about.
Great fix! Loved everything on you but agree with your choices. Do you have any other suggestions for the dark denim jacket and statement necklace or do you think they will be back in stock? They seem like great staple pieces. TIA
Oh no! I can’t believe those items are out of stock. I’ll be on the lookout for a similar statement necklace. I like to mix in current shoes and accessories because I get so many questions about where I purchase those items. I did some searching for denim jackets and Old Navy looks like they have a few options in stock. Both of these are affiliate links.
This one looks VERY similar to my dark denim jacket (if not the exact same): http://rstyle.me/n/bwgpfabjbcf
This one is a lighter wash, but I LOVE that it is cropped. I wish my jacket was cropped a bit shorter so it will look nicer with a fit & flare dress: http://rstyle.me/n/bwgphebjbcf
Hopefully that helps!
Maria
You get such awesome fixes! Was quite jealous to see your lovely short sleeved tops. I requested a summer tops only fix and pinned a lot of stitch fix items and my stylist did not deliver. :( love reading your reviews!
Oh no, Samantha. That is such a bummer! I was very pleased to see the short sleeved tops as well and I’m sad to hear that you didn’t receive the items you requested. I have read that their stock is somewhat unpredictable, so I’m sure your stylist did the best she could with the items that were available to her. Still disappointing though!
That dress looks so pretty on you. It’s one of the prettiest dresses that I’ve seen this season. :)
Thanks so much for hosting the link-up.
Thank you, Paula! I love the dress too! I really don’t need another dress, but when one this lovely comes along, you can’t help but keep it. Thank you for joining the link up!
I’m tall, too, so those longer dresses are always a great find! It’s lovely, and I really like the stripe pattern detail on the back.
Is there a way to view your past stylists?
The dress looks great on you!
That dress is beautiful on you! I love the band of color on you, but I agree about the back. Thank you again for hosting, but again I seem to be having trouble with the back-link. So my post needs your approval – thanks!
The dress is stunning! Definitely my taste too. I am considering purchasing the great deal that you linked. How would you say this dress runs? True to size? I’m typically an 8 in most things but often go for a 10 in dresses. They have an 8 but not a 10 so curious your thoughts on fit.
I see there’s a pink version of the Donna Morgan dress available on 6pm.com right now, if people missed out on the version in your Fix. http://www.6pm.com/donna-morgan-sleeveless-twill-fit-and-flare-with-midi-skirt-tent-multi or search for “8732887”.
