If you follow me on Instagram, you might have noticed that I needed help with my recent Stitch Fix box. I requested a box of summer tops, and my stylist knocked it out of the park. She sent me a good variety of tops from casual to work appropriate to just plain interesting.
I loved the tops so much, but it wasn't practical to keep all of them. I turned to Instastories and placed a poll on each item. The results were surprising!

You know how much I love stripes. so it was no surprise that this top was in my fix. I don't think this stripe color combo has ever made its way into my wardrobe, so it was a very welcome surprise. This was so comfortable when I put it on, I had to keep it. This came with me on a weekend away, and it was also perfect for traveling.

I instantly thought this was cute when I pulled it out of the box. The strap detail is very fun, but I don't think it's something that I'll love for years to come. The fabric was incredibly comfortable, and it had glittery thread running throughout it. As much as I love glitter, it's not practical for every day. Additionally, since I've been making purchases based my wardrobe color scheme, red is not in the forefront. I love it for special occasions or statement pieces, but it's nothing I wear in my every day wardrobe. So, this got sent back.

Y'all. This blouse. It's so pretty. I immediately wanted to keep it when I pulled it out of the box, but I had to rein myself in and try it on first. Of course, I loved it paired with these white jeans, but it also looks good with blue denim. The bottom hem is stretchy, which is something I'm not used to. Typically, I try to steer clear of items that cling around my middle. I know that tucking in my tops will make my frame look more thin, so I'm really stepping out of my comfort box by keeping this. But, I love the details, fabric, color, and the cut of this top so much that I see myself wearing this often this summer.

I was completely enamored by this print. It's so cute! A couple years ago, I had a really cute mint top with a really cute swimmer print that's similar to this one. I love how summery it feels with the swimmers, bu the dark blue just doesn't work for me in this hot weather. I also love the peter pan color, but it also made me look a little too matronly. If the cut of the top had been slimmer, it would have been cute instead of matronly. This was sent back.

If you've been reading my blog for a while, you probably already know that I don't care for tank tops. they're just not a staple for me, even in the heat. That being said, I have a small collection of tanks in my wardrobe, but each one has some sort of special element that is unique and really makes the tank worth it. Basically, a tank really has to me interesting if I'm going to keep it. This one was nice, but not unique enough to add to my wardrobe. It was sent back.
I hope you enjoyed this review of my July 2018 Stitch Fix! As always, I am excited to get a fix in the mail completely tailored to my style. What did you think of these items? Did you agree with the Instastory polls?
I'll be doing an Instastory poll for my next fix. If you want to weigh in, make sure to follow me on Instagram so you won't miss when that is posted to my stories. You can follow me here.
