After trying on the Yuna Chevron Pointelle Knit Sweater, Colibri Plaid Printed Tab-Sleeve Shirt and Blake Poncho Pullover Sweater that my Stitch Fix stylist, Layla, included in my November fix; I couldn’t wait to see what else was in store. If you missed any of those pieces, hop over to page 1 of this post to check out my photos and pin your favorite items to your Pinterest style board.

Reagan Skinny Pant
The fourth item I tried on was the Reagan Skinny Pant from Liverpool ($88). This is the third pair of Liverpool skinny pants that I have received in the past few month. You’ve already heard me rave about my black Rizzo Skinny Pants on the first page of this post. I also received a brown pair of Reagan Skinny Pants in my 27th fix, which are also awesome. Needless to say, I was pretty pumped to try on this new black checked pair of pants and add them to my closet.
Unfortunately, I really didn’t love this pair.
They weren’t bad, exactly. They just felt a little too edgy for my personal style. and they reminded me of printed leggings, a style trend that I never embraced. I don’t feel comfortable wearing anything that even remotely resembles a horizontal stripe to wrap around my legs. And this bold check print looked a little too much like a stripe.
I was surprised to discover that I don’t love every single pair of skinny pants from Liverpool. But I’ll still be excited if another pair comes my way in a future fix.
Ellington Dress
The final item included in this month’s fix was a winter white dress with black and gray floral print. I love a good floral print and I’m sure that’s the reason Layla sent the Ellington Dress from Maggy London ($158) my way. I’m not going to lie, when I saw a photo of this dress in the Stitch Fix app on my iPhone, I was a little disappointed. My skin turns very pale in the winter and the thought of wearing a white-ish dress didn’t sound very appealing. The dress just didn’t seem very interesting to me.
Even though I wasn’t particularly excited about the Ellington Dress, Layla did mention in her note to me that it was a fit & flare dress, which helped calm my disappointment a bit. Fit & flare dresses are the most flattering style for my body type and they always create a feminine silhouette when I wear them.
I wore a pair of patent leather pumps and sheer black stockings with the dress. I also added the Nadri Bracelet I wore when I walked down the aisle. I love any reason to wear something from my wedding day.
The sleeveless dress was very flattering, but I still wasn’t convinced that I loved it. There was a whole lot of white and a lot of my own pale skin to deal with, so I added a 3/4 sleeve black cardigan with sparkly beading along the neckline. (Similar here.)
And just like that, I fell in love with the Ellington Dress.
It’s amazing how a simple cardigan can be exactly what you need to pull an outfit together.
I really wanted to keep this dress. I even asked Rob if we had any special occasions coming up that would merit the expense of adding a new dress to my closet. Unfortunately, we don’t have any fancy events scheduled for the next several months. Sadly, this dress is getting returned. Maybe you have a special occasion coming up. If so, you should pin this to your style board on Pinterest and then tag me in a photo of you wearing it on Instagram so I can live vicariously through you.

I got a poncho in my fix this month too, and now i am poncho believer! I agree that the dress is beautiful, but it’s definitely an occasion dress.
The purple, yes I say purple too, sweater looks awesome on you. That color is so your color.
Thanks for hosting another link up!
Thank you so much, Jessica!
Love seeing our Stitch Fix posts every month! I am totally intimidated by ponchos for some reason, but the one you got it spot on!

The sweaters in this fix are fabulous!!! I think the poncho is a great look on you. Looks cozy and neutral. Love it! There is one that is long and cream colored with buttons on it that I saw on StitchFix’s instagram and I pinned it to my board.
My next fix should be here in a couple days. Life is just a solid busy-ness that I am having trouble keeping up to post stuff and finding the lighting in my house is nearly impossible during the week when I get home from work (which leaves only Weekends for fix photos) and this next fix is scheduled to arrive mid-week!
Also, I used your referral code for Rocksbox last month and I got my first free month… ugh, I am in love with this Loren Hope bracelet and the necklace they sent…
My husband is going to start wondering where all of these boxes are coming from and how they are being paid for.
Hey! As long as I still follow the Dave Ramsey plan as I always have with Baby Step #2… I can budget for some “fun” money, right?! ;)

Hi Alyssa! You are SO sweet for being such a dedicated follower of the blog! Don’t tell your husband that I was the one who got you hooked on Stitch Fix AND Rocksbox! I see that you linked up your post (thank you!) but it got stuck in InLinkz because it was missing the graphic for the link up and a link back to this post. If you want to make those edits on your end, I can push the post through so it appears in the linky.
Thanks again so much and good luck with Baby Step #2!
I am ultra fail at the link up. Just says error adding link even when I crop down the photo… Bummer.
Love the purple sweater and plaid top! I pinned both. My fix this month wasn’t so great. Here’s to hoping next month is better! :)
My 2nd fix was not fabulous, but I was not displeased. I received items that were my taste, but one did not fit and cut of the others didn’t look right on my figure… but I think my stylist is honing in on that. The first one was WAY off… and then then the second was immediately more like my style! Did you do a pinterest board?
Hi Alyssa, YES! I do a Pinterest board. I find that it’s one of my best communication tools for letting my stylist know what I love and what I am looking for. You can check out my board here: https://www.pinterest.com/MariaManore/my-style/
Oh, I’m sorry. That was directed at Kerry. I found you from your Pinterest board, initially!
I’ve been following your blog for a few weeks now and I wanted to pop in and say how much I enjoy it! Your Stitch Fix posts are my favorite and I appreciate how much time and effort you put into them. It really shows and is helpful as a reader.
I have done a handful of Stitch Fix boxes in the past and always felt it was sort of hit or miss back in the early days. Fortunately, it’s been on point the last few months for me. I think the fact that they have their own clothing lines helps tremendously and I find their fits to be much more flattering as they offer petite sizes. Glad to see they are listening to customer feedback!
I finally embraced the poncho this fall and I love it as well! Stitch Fix sent me a poncho cardigan, which helped me from feeling overwhelmed. The one you received is gorgeous and looks fantastic on you! I am also a fan of the plaid shirt. Most of them have a boyfriend cut that tends to make me look like well….a boy. I might have to request this one!
Thank you Maria! These posts are always my favorite ones to write so I am glad to hear that you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoy writing them!
I love almost everything you get in your Stitch Fix boxes. I wish I could get your stylist, she’s awesome! I seem to get a different stylist each month and have been disappointed with my last few boxes.
I’m so sorry to hear that you are disappointed with your stylist! Hopefully Stitch Fix will match you with someone really great next time!
You get the best fixes and are all over my Pinterest, haha. Sorry to put this in comments but I couldn’t find an email for you. Your link-up hates me for the second time and says no backlink, even though it’s there. I’m afraid this will be an ongoing issue :(. Also, I am getting a second fix in November. Is it ok to link up two posts? You can answer by email if you prefer (which you should have because I entered it to comment). Thank you!
Hi Stacie! I’m so sorry that the link-up is giving you trouble! A lot of people get stuck in it because of our two-page blog layout. I keep an eye on it to moderate any posts that follow all of the rules and find themselves stuck. I included your link because it was perfect! I’m sorry for the inconvenience. And YES it’s ok to link 2 posts and long as they are both recent (posted within the past 30 days). Our email address is crazytogetherblog@gmail.com and you can email us any time!
Thank you!
Anytime :)
I love the sweater! Always enjoy your fixes – thanks for the giveaway!
I stumbled upon your site, and I’m happy that I did because you are a style queen! I absolutely love how you transformed these individual pieces; especially, the poncho. I’m intimidated by ponchos, but they way you styled it made it seem simple and not overstated.
Love, Love, Love!
Hi Mari and welcome to Crazy Together! I have a closet full of basic items that allow me to transform an item into something I would actually wear. Maybe you’ll be a poncho convert too!
I actually love the Reagan Skinny Pants! Although, I tend to gravitates towards the more quirky and whimsical :)
Love everything in your box. I’ve had a hard time these past 2 boxes after transitioning back to regular clothes from my maternity fixes. I will be pinning the plaid shirt for sure. And maybe the poncho although I’m not sure I can pull it off as well as you! Thanks for the style inspiration.
This is VERY helpful info – I have tried SF twice, and wasn’t in love either time. I’ve found Lyon & Post and – while it is more expensive than SF – there are literally NO fees unless you keep the clothes, and then you only pay for your purchase.
Click my link for $30 towards your purchase. Thanks!

That is really interesting to know! Thanks for sharing!
I’m so glad I found your blog, Maria! I’ve gotten some great ideas from you to pass along to my stylist, Liberty. Thanks for sharing all of your treasures with us ;)
Hi Dawn! I”m thrilled to be a style resource for you and I think your stylist has the COOLEST name ever.
I’ve requested Layla several times. The first time she was on vacation, the second time she was not there, now they aren’t sure who she is and want a last name. Any chance you have that info?
Hi!
I know this is kind of an old thread but I was curious about the fit of the Market & Spruce Colibri plaid top- someone on my Stitch Fix FB board has this for sale but it’s a large. I’m normally a medium and she says it has been washed once and fits like a medium. Now that you may have worn and washed it a bit, could you let me know if it tends to run a little small? I’m just trying to figure out whether or not I should buy- I love it so much! Thank you!
Love your blog by the way! I’m a writer and it makes me want to start a blog of my own! :)
Hi Jessica! I checked my shirt tag. Mine is a small and it runs a little large. I always hand wash mine and lay it flat to dry. If she put hers in the dryer, it’s possible that it shrunk a bit but I can’t say for certain. I wish I could be more help!
How do I purchase the poncho
Hi there! I’m wondering if the Colibri Plaid Printed Tab-Sleeve Shirt in your photo is a medium or small? I think I have about the same build as you (5”8, long torso), and am deciding which size to order on eBay. Thanks so much for you help! Love your blog! :)
