Stitch Fix October 2015

Another month, another Stitch Fix. I know some may wonder why a style blogger would be interested in Stitch Fix, after all, isn’t the fun part of style the shopping part? While I’d totally say yes, the thing that I like is that it allows me to add pieces (for me, it’s just one piece per fix) that I wouldn’t normally find. The longer with Stitch Fix, the more I’ve noticed that I’m not able to find these exact items anywhere else. Additionally, I often receive items that I’ve wanted to add to my closet since I’ve pinned similar items.

Stitch Fix October 2015 Styling & Review

Plus lately, I haven’t had as much time to shop… so it allows me the opportunity to freshen up my closet without leaving the house. It doesn’t always work out for me, like last month when I tried to avoid dress shopping by requesting wedding-appropriate dresses. For something like that, I’ll probably go with Rent the Runway, as I used for Bellevue Fashion Week. Anyways, onto this month’s review!

I can’t believe it’s already Monday. This weekend flew by exceptionally fast and lately I’ve wished I had just a few more hours. I’m especially not looking forward to the time change… it’s already getting dark so much earlier, and no longer can I squeeze in any outfit photos after work. Just means weekends are even more full! #BloggerProblems, am I right?

What I Bought, Read, & Used Up in September

Affiliate Links: If you click on a link in this post, I may make a very small commission.

Thanks so much for your feedback last month on this style of post. The consensus (and mine too!) was that the style was good, but the book reviews were cray. I was hoping to eliminate the book reviews and just share my favorites… and I kind of failed at that. The truth is, that while I love reading, I just don’t love writing reviews.

SO, this month I’m going to try to do better and just share a handful of favorite books, what I bought, and my empties. If you want more information about what I’ve been reading, add me on Goodreads! I track and rate all the books I read over there.

What I Bought // September Shopping BudgetSeptember Shopping Budget // hellorigby seattle shopping blog

I’m really proud of myself this month. I went 3 weeks out of the month without buying a thing. Then I was invited to a pop-up shop for Emerald Cuff and purchased an adorable (and not yet available) striped cape. I also purchased the owl romper from the LC Lauren Conrad Runway Collection. (See my entire review of the collection here.) I told myself no new makeup this month, which I did successfully, and apparently I resisted the urge to buy all the clothes even though I ended up attending two fashion shows and had numerous other temptations.

Black Maxi Dress for Fall

I’m loving that the 70s are back this fall and I feel like I’m channeling my bohemian side with this long, flowing maxi dress and my military green fedora. The long crystal and leaf necklaces play into that vibe as well. What I love is how easy it is to wear maxi dresses for fall with the help of a few key pieces and accessories.
