Oh guys.
You don’t know my Mom (or maybe you do!), but she is great!
And cute. And friendly. And smart. And she makes really good homemade macaroni & cheese and meatloaf.
And she has a pretty smile.
And, she got tired of seeing me come to her house for lunch every Sunday afternoon in a different, new + cute outfit from StitchFix. She wanted to give it a try, too!
So… loving daughter that I am, I helped her get all signed up! We were really eager to see what StitchFix would do for someone beyond her 20s/30s, in a professional setting.
(find that cute necklace here)
Just last week her first Fix arrived, so Hazel and I met her at her house at lunchtime and had a blast trying on her box-full of goodies in the context of her closet.
The first thing she tried was a little out of her comfort zone, but still super cute – leggings and a tunic dress by 41 Hawthorne.
After that, two big hits: a navy pleated blouse (that could be dressed up or down really beautifully) and the knit 3/4 sleeve blazer by Tulle.
Necklaces: Anthropologie + Loft
She also got a scarf with beautiful blues and greens (actually, it’s a map of Mexico) that we had fun wrapping up at her neck or tying on the straps of her purse for a little splash of color.
If you aren’t familiar with StitchFix, but want to learn more about the joys of keeping your wardrobe up-to-date with risk free, personal styling, here’s how it works:
SO… what do you think? What should she keep?
Show my mama some love and say hello!! :)
[other favorite fixes here, here + here]
Oh this is so sweet that your mama got a fix! I think the navy blouse and the scarf are adorable on her! Hope she loved it :)
xoxo
Your Mom looks great and you are so right about her smile!! The blouse is lovely and I really like the texture on the grey blazer. She is rocking both! I’m glad it was a positive experience for her. Hope that one day Stitch Fix comes to Canada….it is so what I need to expand my wardrobe.

PS – Any chance you can share that mac and cheese recipe? We love my Gran’s recipe but trying a new fave is always fun.
Lisa, The Mac and cheese recipe is on the back of the Mueller’s elbow macaroni box. I use dry mustard. There, the secret is out!
Super cute, I love the tunic and leggings and the scarf!
She looks great in all the pieces but really love the blouse!
Also, you guys look so much a like! Beautiful ladies.
Keep thinking about trying Stitch Fix ~ but think I am too cheap LOL
She looks great! I am waiting for my first Stitch Fix coming in a week or two. I can’t wait.
I feel special since I DO know your mom. :) She looks awesome! (Tell her for me, okay! :) ) I especially like the blouse.
Tracy, Thank you! Agreed, the blouse is a winner.
your mom is ADORABLE!!!! i wish i looked that cute in my work clothes- she needs to teach me : )
SO CUTE!!!!!
She looks great! I love everything on her, but the 2nd outfit is really beautiful. And the colors in that scarf are so flattering!
Your mom is a BABE! I see where you get it from. ;)
She looks absolutely gorgeous in everything! I hope she kept it all!
A BABE? Why, thank you! You made my day.
Y’all look so much alike!
I like the blazer and the navy shirt but I LOVE the tunic and leggings!! She is totally rockin’ it!
my mom was JUST asking me about stitch fix and I told her she should give it a try! her fear was that it would be too “young” for her – she’s 55. I can’t wait to show her this post!! Thank you!
Lauren, It’s great you look after your mom’s fashion. I am sure she appreciates having a daughter like you. I know I have loved the help my daughters give me!
CUUUUUUTE! I love all of the outfits! I just got my 3rd fix on Friday and I’m loving it all!
She looks great! This makes me more excited to receive my own StitchFix next month!
I love this post! Your mama is so gorgeous and they picked some real winners for her :-) Looks like fun!
Susan! Keep all of it! You’re a hot mama, lady. Love ya.
Christine, When I read your post, I could picture you saying it. You are so sweet! Love you!
Suuuper cute! She looks gorgeous!
Your mama looks amazing in all of the outfits! I especially love the blouse and blazer, but she also looks great in the tunic and leggings. Love the scarf too! Maybe you could trade her for the one she keeps borrowing!
Kimberly, Nope, I’m keeping both scarves! ;)
Susan you look great!!! Fabulous, really! You have given me the confidence to try StitchFix. I have filled out the profile and am just waiting for their reply….from your step aerobics pal ….a blast from the past!
Denise, Those were the good old days! Let me know how you like your fix and send pictures!
She looks great! Live the blouse and blazer! Also, great jewelry!!!!
Great outfits…I need to talk my mom into doing this. Every time you have a Stitch Fix post it makes me wish we were not on a tight budget and I had more for clothes in the budget. But right now just isnt the time to be spending money on clothes….bummer!!! But as soon as we get out of debt I’m signing up for Stitch Fix!!!
Lovely!! I do especially like that pleated blouse (love “basics” with that little extra something that makes them fantastic), and the scarf…those blues and greens really bring out her eyes! I think they’re all winners, though! Then, of course, you have to deal with the “do I get it all to get the discount??” question ;) I’m waiting for my fix next week, a bit impatiently, I might add…
First of all, your Mom looks AWESOME in everything she got! I just got my first Stitch Fix, and I’m pretty much in love. Glad to see that they do a fantastic job of shopping for people of all different ages! I’m gonna have to start spreading the news :)
Hmm. Interesting that several of you assumed StitchFix would be for 20/30-y-os. I’m 52 and just got (and loved) my first box. I immediately told my sister, and I’m thinking of getting my daughter into it… Anyway, I’m fairly recently retired and want to grow my casual wardrobe. StitchFix seemed perfect for me, because “casual” at 52 is not at all the same as it is at 25 when you can throw on any old thing and look great.
I personally love the tunic dress with the leggings on your mom. YES. THAT ONE. You will wear it all. the. time. It’s modern, chic, fabulously flattering on you, and I bet it’s comfortable as well. Depending on your office, it might not fly there, but to drinks on Friday nights? Shopping Sunday afternoons? Saturday with the grandkids at the museum? Absolutely.
I know your mama and she is too cute for words. She looks beautiful in all her outfits. Very classy! Good fit and really stylish!
