Hello, lovers.\u00a0Your fashion-challenged<\/a> Avid Bruxist is back with another Fix! (See Parts 1<\/a>, 2<\/a>, 3<\/a>,\u00a04<\/a>, and 5<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

Welp, I kept\u00a0all five thangs\u00a0this time. Don’t get too excited–I didn’t love all of them. In fact, I wasn’t in the Louvre with any of the pieces, but I likeded four.<\/p>\n

First up:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Canon Button Detail Striped Knit Top (the button detail is on the sleeves) and Jordyn Bootcut Pant<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Shirt, very comfy. Decent fit. (God, my post-nursing boobs are so smallllll. Waaaaah.) Pants, also good, though they bunched a little at the knees, and–granted, I don’t know wtf I’m talking about, but–these pants don’t feel like $88. Texture-wise, I mean. I’m not sure what $88 pants feel like, but I think it’s not this.<\/p>\n

When I expressed concern to Kate about how the pants would hold up in the wash, this exchange followed:<\/p>\n

\"working<\/a><\/p>\n

P.S. Here’s the same outfit with the scarf from Fix #4:<\/p>\n

\"IMG_7263\"<\/a>
Plus a red leather jacket I bought at a sample sale in New York City in 1999ish. You’re supposed to do something to care for leather, aren’t you? What would that something be? And is there a 20-year window in which one can do said care? Asking for a friend.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Wore this outfit all day:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Bastille Tulip Sleeve Blouse in white, maroon Martina Slub Knit Open Cardigan, black skinny pants from Fix #2, short boots<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

before realizing I might-should’ve tucked in the shirt:<\/p>\n

\"blah\"<\/a>
Dangit.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

But then I consulted with Kate about it, and she said,\u00a0while\u00a0she liked the proportions of the shirt tucked, actually “long and flowy is a thing now, both very cool-old Eileen Fisher style and cool-young breezy hipster.”<\/p>\n

Just when I think I’ve got a thang learnt, they go and change it.<\/p>\n

Then there was this:<\/p>\n

\"What<\/a>
What in the world.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Why did they send me\u00a0a chandelier for a Baroque dollhouse?<\/p>\n

\"a<\/a>
Actually, it’s a necklace. Specifically, a Rayla Tassel Pendant Necklace.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Even with some of the victories I’ve had, I’m not under any delusions that I have style. But if I have a<\/strong><\/em> style, this necklace is the opposite of it.<\/p>\n

However, as I said, I kep’ it because with the Buy 5 discount, it was cheaper to hang it in the receiving room of my miniature Palace of Versailles\u00a0than send it back. Or maaaaybe I’ll send it as a Major Award to one of you shmoopies who uses\u00a0this link<\/a>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>to try Stitch Fix for yourself (because if you do that, they’ll give me a $25 credit), and you can put\u00a0it in\u00a0your Rococo Barbie dream house. [Ed. note: I don’t know the difference between Baroque and Rococo. I got a C in art history.]<\/p>\n

Stay tuned for future Fixes!<\/p>\n
