My boss, fmr., got her new StitchFix for April. Let’s judge!
I ran into her office and watched her open her box like it was Xmas morning. X-Files morning. Like a morning with my ex.
I was a big fan of this shirt with birds, as I enjoy a bird on anything. Except perhaps on my esophagus. A bird on one’s esophagus would blow.
“Should I put on the blouse with the jeans that came in the box, too?” she asked.
Yes.
Also, I had no time for this. I proofread so hard yesterday that my contacts were prunes by 5:00.
“These jeans actually fit!” she said. “Mail-order jeans that fit!”
Can we vote on whether adding polls is a pain in my ASS?
“This coat is oddly…wintery for an April shipment.”
“My mom would tell me to buy this for winter, so I’ll have it.”
“I like the color, but it’d need to be ironed.”
And finally, we have an accessory. Bracelet yourselves…
“It says it’s adjustable but I don’t know if it really is.”
Please vote early and often. Why do people say that? Anyway, vote before I blog again. Stop her, before she blogs again!
Fixedly,
Juan
I’m aghast at what some young women pay for jeans that are shredded to bits. We’ve toyed with adding them to our dress code at school, but everyone is hoping the trend fades away quickly because boy do parents get upset when you tell them their daughters can’t wear their $86 rags to school.

I agree with Cheech about the distressed jeans, when I have jeans that look like that they are trashed. I don’t get the hobo look. I do love jeans, in fact that is my daily uniform.

Same here, Tee. Obviously, we are not the target market for distressed jeans. Like you, jeans are part of my daily uniform, but only the ones without holes.

Love Stitch Fix days! Boss fmr is so awesome to model the clothes and allow us to judge them.
I know distressed jeans are the thing now, and those do look lovely on Boss fmr, but I just can’t wrap my head around paying good money for jeans that are all full of holes and/or shredded. When my jeans look like that, that’s when I go get new jeans! I think I’m becoming an old curmudgeon when I say that.
I’m not a big fan of blue jeans anyway. Now that they’ve come out with the colored ponte jeans, I wear them all the time. They are so comfy!

The Henry of coworkers is not only cute, but a good sport. She makes voting fun.
In my opinion, the bird shirt is a definite yes as it is cute and a flattering style. If she likes distressed jeans, they look nice with the birds. It not, send them back. Definitely, a personal decision. The other blouse is not a flattering fit at all and the bracelet is another personal decision.

Who are the annoying people voting “other”? I thought because I set up the first poll to not have “other” that it would make them ALL not have “other.” When you’re setting these up, it doesn’t actually show the poll, story of my life, so I didn’t know it was an option on the rest.

She’s a great sport! I’d probably return the button down. Even with ironing, it’s pulling on the chest area. I personally wear a tank underneath all button downs with several buttons unbuttoned so this wouldn’t bother me (the shirt would also have to be for a child to pull because I have an empty push-up bra where my boobs are supposed to be) but if she doesn’t do that, return!
