I’ll post Random Thoughts Thursday tomorrow (on Friday).
I wasn’t feeling very excited for this fix when I saw my preview last week – it was 5 pairs of jeans and 5 sweaters. I did ask for jeans and sweaters, but didn’t like much of it, so I picked out two pairs of jeans and asked for cozy sweatshirts. I was thinking “this will probably be my last fix!” but then I really liked the tops I received. And the jeans are decent too (I just need to figure out what kind of shoes to wear with them). Anyway! Here is what I got:
STUDIO BLUE Kenova Mid Rise Skinny Roll Cuff Jean
Ha, ignore the sock look!
I usually avoid jeans that hit at the ankle but thought I would give them a try. What shoes do you think would work with them? The profile card shows them with a high heel mule – I definitely don’t have anything like that! I could do flats or sneakers, right? No? HELP ME.
STS BLUE Ellie High Rise Finished Hem Ankle Skinny Jean
Just a millennial, still wearing skinny jeans. I love skinny jeans but hate how my compression socks make them cling to my lower legs.
LETY & ME Alaia Long Sleeve Hooded Sweater
I love hoodies and stripes. Sold!
MARKET & SPRUCE Perine Pocket Hooded Knit Top
Another cozy hoodie? Yes, please. It has a fun detail on the back too.
STACCATO Carson Crew Neck Button Detail Sweater
Ignore the bad jeans pairing! I will wear these with a dark wash.
I just love button shoulder details. My last fix had one and one of my fave original sweaters from them did too!
So yeah, I was pleasantly surprised. I will do at least one more fix for our Europe trip in the spring.
I love, love the striped top and cuffed jeans. I have never tried on jeans like that, but they are cute on you. My first thought about shoes with those jeans is an ankle boot or short boot. I have a gray pair that are flat. I also think a canvas shoe with no show socks would be cute. Something like converse, Keds or something similar.
Thanks so much Val! I bet jeans like that would look cute on you too! I do have ankle boots! My only canvas shoe has cats on it… even better, right?!
I have a pair of jeans like the top pair and I love them with sandals in the summer. I think a cute pair of sneakers or flats would work too.
I love that gray hoodie! That’s such a nice detail on the back that makes it a little less casual.
And I’ll wear skinny jeans forever, I don’t even care if that makes me old or dated or whatever. I just REALLY love that style.
Jeans in the summer?!?!?!? I love the idea of that. I wonder if I will ever do it. That does sound cute!!!!
Thanks!
Same! I don’t really want to follow fashion trends, I want to wear what I like!
Mules are dumb. The shoe, not the animal. I have no knowledge of the intelligence of mules.
Anyway! I wear ankle boots, ballet flats, and sneakers with my ankle jeans. Ankle boots with your compression socks is actually perfect for winter so your ankles don’t get cold and you get a peek of the cute pattern!
I was hoping you would comment! You made me laugh about mules!
Thanks for the ideas! I think I am going to try my ankle boots to start and see how they look, and you are right – I can totally sneak by and wear my socks with those!
I am stumped right along with you on what shoe to wear with the ankle jeans. All that we can say for sure is that mules are not the answer.
The red striped top is epic! Yay Stichfix!
Ha! They are NOT! I am going to try my ankle boots or flats or sneakers!
Thank you! I am excited to wear it!
I think ankle boots or flats are the answers. I don’t believe an adult should wear sneakers outside of athletic events, so you should maybe take that answer for what it’s worth.
I think it’s cool that they sent you so many hoodies with interesting details. The only hoodies I own are collegiate ones!
I wore them with flats and liked them! That is interesting about sneakers! Tell me more about that! I have a pair of super bright sneakers I get compliments on whenever I wear them LOL.
I did too! Although I like college hoodies too! That reminds me to see if my ISU one fits me yet. I asked for a size too small years ago. Not sure if it ever will, ha!
Yes, flats or sneakers are the answer for the ankle jeans. I also have some ankle boots that work. I love all three sweaters by the way, my favorite is the striped one!
Thanks! I wore flat sneakers with it and liked it! And thank you! I am loving the striped top the most too!
Ahh… these posts always make me want to re-up my Stitch Fix subscription! The sweaters look great on you. I don’t love jeans that hit at my ankle because I feel like they make my legs look weird, haha. But those jeans look great on you!
Awww, thanks! But don’t do it! Save your money!!!!
And thank you!
Those all look FABULOUS on you! I love the stripey top and the other hoodie and you ROCK those ankle jeans. (Also love the compression socks peeking out! Yay from another compression sock wearer. :>)
Thanks so much!!!! And yes! I try to wear my socks as much as possible during the day!
