I got this dress in my latest Stitch Fix & I've worn it quite a few times already, even though when I first pulled it out of the box, I was like 'eh, this one will probably go back.' Goes to show you can't judge a dress right out of the box or on the hanger!
My challenge for all of you next time you are in stores, pick up an item you aren't 100% sure about. Just try it on and then make your decision. I've been doing this lately & while I've always known that items look different on the hanger compared to on your body, I usually only pick up items I love on the hanger and then feel disappointed when it doesn't work out. Instead I've been picking up items I'm not sure about and then I feel pleasantly surprised when they work out!

Tell me your 'try it on' moment. Have you tried on a piece you were unsure about and fallen in love?

That happens to me all the time with my Fixes! And it's usually the item that I initially like the least that I end up keeping. LOVE this dress. I would love to receive this dress in my Fix. You styled it beautifully.
ReplyDeleteYou can request it from your stylist! It's a great piece
DeleteI love this outfit very much, Michelle! I made the right decision!

This really is such good advice, Michelle. I've found some of my favorite pieces are those suggested by the sales person or another friend. Something I wouldn't necessarily have picked myself, but they end up being well loved!!

So true! I sometimes love when other people choose items for me!
DeleteThat's a super cute dress—I'm glad you kept it!

I agree! When I've ordered Stitch Fix, sometimes I just love an item I see in the box and I try it on and I don't like how it fits... and vice versa! I always try to try everything on before I buy it! I LOVE this dress on you, especially with the leather jacket!

Yes! Things look so different on the rack compared to on our bodies!

I just LOVE that dress. It fits you perfectly and has that little boho flare I love. I've had it happen so many times where I pass something up and then my sister tells me to try it. haha.

A sister is the best for shopping advice!
DeleteA lot of the best stuff doesn't look so great on the hanger! It's a good think you tried it on and it's perfect with the moto jacket and booties!

It's so true! You need to try it on to know for sure.
DeleteMichelle, I love this dress on you and it is perfect with the moto jacket! One of my favorite combos is a feminine dress with an edgy moto jacket. I need to style something like this soon. Thanks for the inspiration!

I too usually try things that look good only on a mannequin or a hanger, with the exception of maybe H&M which has many interesting items that don't necessarily look good hung but I like to give them a chance. That midi dress is so cute and I love this dressy yet casual Thanksgiving outfit you chose, Michelle. Also, I did not know Anna was pregnant. All 3 of you ladies look fantastic this week in your Fall dresses. Glad you were a part of my Big Holiday Collaboration, once again!
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining the series again this year and for all the inspiration! You can read my post below, too! Hope you like it. =)

Yes she is! Isn't it exciting for her?!
DeleteSo cute! And great advice! I love it when people buy me clothes because it gives me a chance to branch out! Now I just need to convince people to buy more clothes more often! ;)
ReplyDeleteSame! Sometimes they know you better than you know yourself ;)
DeleteGreat dress. Sometimes is good to try something "out of box". We can be surprised.

I'm absolutely loving the dress dear, really cute floral print details. And perfect leather jacket and boots to pair it with too.
