This month I decided to reign in my Stitch Fix budget a little and limit myself to just one item from my March Stitch Fix shipment. I had tried on three items already, and while each of them was a great piece, I wasn’t convinced that I would wear any of the items often enough to justify making it “the one”. If you missed the sweater, blouse and pants that I already tried on, you definitely want to click over to page one of this post and get ready to do some pinning. If you already saw those items, you’re ready to continue the review this month, so let’s get to it.

Patrick Chino Pant
Layla was looking ahead to spring when she included a dark pink pair of the Patrick Chino Pant from Level 99 ($108) in my March Stitch Fix box. I received the same pair in olive in my 21st fix and a light pink pair in my 22nd fix. I kept both previous pairs so I already knew these would be a perfect fit. they also were the perfect compliment to my Daniel Rainn blouse. I added my denim jacket from Old Navy (a wardrobe staple) and a pair of gray flats (similar here, splurge here).
No surprise, the pants fit perfectly.
If I wasn’t anxious before, this outfit had me positively ecstatic for spring to arrive. It’s very comfortable and can easily be worn to work in my kindergarten classroom, running errands on a weekend, or even to a family picnic. The opportunities are endless.
A few basic accessories really helped to complete the look.

Just in case you didn’t already figure it out, I kept the pants :)
If you love these pants, you may also want to check out the olive and light pink pairs that arrived in my previous fixes. Click any of the images below to see more photos and my full review. (I’ve always thought that the light pink pair actually looks more like a purplish gray than pink.)

Lucio Henley Blouse
Which left only one item in my March Stitch Fix box – the Lucio Henley Blouse from Alice Blue ($48). Right off the bat, I loved the price. Most of the blouses I purchase from Stitch Fix cost $60 or more. This one was a bargain. And of course I was instantly drawn to the fact that it was a floral. I wasn’t quite sure what to make of this particular floral, but there was only one way to decide how I felt.
I tried the blouse on.
It was a perfect fit and was very flattering to wear. And it truly had long sleeves, which is a bit of a rarity among Stitch Fix blouses. Most of the longer-sleeved blouses I receive are a 3/4 rolled or tab sleeve. While this blouse came with tabs so it could be rolled up, it was nice to leave the sleeves unrolled. They were also long enough for my arms. Another plus.
While I love a good floral blouse at a reasonable price, I couldn’t quite get past the colors in this top. Particularly the pink. You can’t really tell in the photos but it was basically neon pink. So, while this blouse was intriguing and it certainly had my attention, I ultimately had to let it this one go and send it back to Stitch Fix.
The Breakdown
So which items did I keep and which went back to Stitch Fix? Here’s a recap of my March Stitch Fix box!
Angus Split Back Mixed Material Sweater from RD Style ($68) – RETURN
Arca Henley Blouse from Skies are Blue ($58) – RETURN
Harper Bootcut Pant from Liverpool ($88) – RETURN
Patrick Chino Pant from Level 99 ($108) – KEEP
Lucio Henley Blouse from Alice Blue ($48) – RETURN
I know chinos are pricey, but I wore the green and light pink pairs I received last year all summer long and I know I’ll get a lot of use of of this dark pink pair as well.
How Stitch Fix Works
If you read this post and wondered how on earth I managed to get such fabulous clothes delivered to me (and who on earth is this Layla person), it’s time for me to fill you in! Stitch Fix is an online personal styling service for women. It’s totally free to complete a style profile at StitchFix.com. When you are ready, you can schedule your first fix.
(This is when the fun really starts.)
For a $20 styling fee, you will be matched with a personal stylist, who will review your style profile and hand-pick five clothing items just for you. You can request specific items (like the amazing blue scalloped dress from Stitch Fix you saw on Pinterest a few weeks ago) or even tell your stylist what to avoid (my own style profile reminds Layla to please not send any v-neck tops my way). You can even track your package on the Stitch Fix iPhone app and sneak a peek at the items your stylist selected for you.
You have three days to try the items on in the comfort of your own home, with shoes and accessories you own. This allows you to really understand how well each piece will fit into your existing wardrobe. Keep the items you love, check out online, and return any unwanted items in the pre-paid shipping envelope that is included in your fix. Shipping and returns are totally free.

Spring Stitch Fix Styles
March is here and I am officially counting down til spring. If you are looking for more pinnable links to request from your stylist, check out some of my previous spring fixes! Click any image to see the full post.
Okay, I need to know more about this top extender! Is it like a tank top with a pretty bottom? would you wear it under a tank or tee too? I wear leggings all the time but I can’t stand when my butt shows!
Also, I’m partial to cobalt blue and I love that sweater on you.
Hi Jessica! Yes, it’s like a super-comfy tank top with chiffon layers at the bottom. It would probably work ok under a baggier tank top. The one reason I don’t wear it more often is because the pretty part starts fairly low down and I don’t have many sweaters that are long enough to to cover where the pretty part starts (if that makes sense!) I agree that the cobalt sweater was gorgeous, it just wasn’t my in my usual color palette! They also have shorter varieties of top extenders that don’t come down quite so far.
How do you care for the top extender? I have been wanting one but don’t want the dorm washing machine to destroy it
I love that sweater in cobalt! I received the same sweater but in all black a few Fixes ago, and I really like the contrast of the one you got. Great fix, and beautiful pictures as always! I enjoy reading your posts :)
Thank you so much Sarah!
I just peeked (I can’t help it!) at my Fix that is supposed to be coming by tomorrow. And….for the second time in a row I think I’m going to be disappointed! I’m a little upset. I’ve had the same stylist, been pinning this to my Pinterest board and being very specific in the comments of the pictures. And it doesn’t seem like they’re listening to me…. Boo!
Oh no Danielle! Sometimes I’m a little let down when I peek too, but am pleasantly surprised when I go to try things on. If you’re not having luck with your stylist, you can request a new stylist when you leave checkout feedback and hopefully your next stylist will be fabulous. Sometimes it just isn’t a good fit.
What color is the Arca Henley Blouse from Skies are Blue? It’s hard to tell from the pics, is it orange or bright coral? Red?
It’s red!
I LOVE this fix! That blue sweater is gorgeous though I could totally understand why you might return it if you didn’t think you would wear it often. I love the extender that you added under it though! It totally changes it from the everyday sweater to something special!
First off what a great fix. I have had the Angus Split Back Mixed Material Sweater pinned for some time now. My box comes next week and I’m just on pins & needles hoping that sweater is in there. I can understand why you picked the Level 99 pants. I own a pair and they are so comfortable and stylish.
Peace. Love. Pashion.
Wendy
Hi Wendy, I’ll cross my fingers and hope that you get the sweater too!
Thank you so much for providing a spot for fellow Stitch Fix lovers to share their posts. I didn’t keep anything this month but I most certainly enjoyed trying everything on and debating over what I should do.
I love the pants you kept and may have to request those for my April fix.
Hi Maria! Did the Harper pants have pockets? I may need to request these in a future Fix, but since I need pocketed pants, finding “dress pants” via SF has been a challenge.
Hi Jen, I can’t say for certain (since I sent them back and can’t go check in my closet) but I’m fairly sure they did have pockets. I think I would have noticed if they didn’t and thought it was weird since any pants I own that are a similar style always have pockets. I hope that helps a little!
Thank you, Maria, for hosting the link up. I love seeing what bloggers are receiving in their current fixes. And your link up is such an easy way to view them all. I do love the cobalt sweater and the extender you paired with it. You’ve got a great sense of style. Keep up the lovely and informative posts!
I loved your entire fix! The last floral blouse was gorgeous. I am tempted to request it. :) Would go great with my new Dean Skinny Jean.
I love the pink pants!!!! Sooo pretty! I might just have to request those pants! Layla definitely has an eye for fashion. You’re so lucky!
Gorgeous fix, as usual! I always admire your clothes and fixes and I’ve requested that Layla be my stylist this next go-round. I know it’s a long shot…but here’s to hoping. I just want to build a rapport with a great stylist and since I love your clothes – she might be a great fit. :)
Hope you have a lovely weekend! Cheers!
Thank you Darcy! I have heard that Layla is not taking on new clients, but maybe there is someone else at Stitch Fix with a similar eye that they can pair you with. I will cross my fingers for you!
Rats. I knew it was too much to hope for. Ah, well.
mY opinion – I thought the jewel-tone sweater
Looked great on you . Maybe think about adding more of that color with your dark hair! Liked the style too!
You look great in everything they send you! I’ve pinned you on Pinterest many times! :) Thanks for hosting the link up!
Is the denim jacket you linked the same as yours? It looks like a darker wash.
Thanks!
Great choice in keeping the pink pants! I love the outfit with those!
I love the grey blazer. What brand or where can I order that??
Hi Keli,
The brand of the blazer is Tart and I got it from Stitch Fix a few years back. I’m not sure if they still carry it or not.
