Wantable Fitness Edit box 2

My second Wantable Fitness Edit arrived and I am happy to see so much color and patterns once again. This box has become one of my favorites to get, although I must admit I'm starting to have too much stuff in my fitness drawer.

If you are now familiar with Wantable Fitness , it works a little like Stitch Fix. You pay $20 styling fee which gets credited towards anything you purchase. Your stylists then chooses several clothing items for you based on your profile. You can try it all at the comfort of your own home and decide what items you'd like to keep. You can send anything you don't like, but you do get extra 20% of it you keep it all.

Here is my second Fitness Edit:




Glyder Elongate Legging Spanish Tile Jaquard ($74.00 )
Wantable introduced me to Glyder Apparel and it has quickly become one of my favorite fitness brands. I kept their leggings from my last edit, even though they were pricey. I was really tempted to keep these too but they were full length and we are pretty much done with cooler weather, so I'm not sure if I would be able to wear them any longer. If I got these again in the fall, I would probably keep them.







Mono B Geo Abstract Printed Capri ($42.00) 
I put these capris on my wish list in Wantable's Stream. This is a relatively new feature similar to Instagram, where you can post and tag your items from all Wantable boxes (Fitness, Fashion, Accessories and Intimates) and you can click the tag on other customer's pictures to request something. I was really happy to see these in my box. They seem to be a tad smaller than I expected so it took a little bit of effort to squeeze myself into them. But once I got them on, I really liked how they looked and fit and decided to keep them. 




Aurora Wrap Atomic Wrap ($62.00)
No, I'm not being repetitive, it does say "wrap" twice in the name of the item. I really loved this wrap. Such a pretty color and interesting mesh detail. Unfortunately I was not sure I was going to be able to wear it much as I prefer hoodies to throw on. Also, I just kept a black Glyder wrap in my last fix, so I definitely could not justify getting another one. 


Mediate Raglan Long Sleeve Hoodie ($70.00)
I fell in love with this hoodie as soon as I put it on. It was so soft and comfortable. I also liked the interesting mesh-like detail. I really wanted to keep it but I did not think it was worth $70. I did a little bit of research and found it more than half the price on Amazon. It was such a score!! 











Groove Bra Kingdom 1 ($39.00)
I'm always nervous when I get bras. I usually get my workout bras from Victoria's Secret as I need solid support when I work out. The colors of this bra were really cute but the only place I would be able to wear it is at home while lounging. This bra would not give me enough support to do any kind of workout, so I sent it back.





I really enjoyed this box and I felt like all the items I got were really cute. In the end, I had to choose items that fit best into my lifestyle and workout routine. I was happy to get to know other brands and I was thrilled to find the hoodie somewhere else for half the price. I am looking forward to getting more Wantable fitness boxes.

Fix #9

Time to reveal my 9th Stitch Fix. In my note to the stylist, I asked for some specific items, such as lighter wash skinny jeans, faux leather jacket in brown or wine color and some office friendly items. I  did not get the same stylist I had in my previous fixes but feel like my stylist did a very good job listening to my needs and she made a great attempt at providing what I wanted.

If you have not heard about it, Stitch Fix offers styling service and sends you 5 hand picked clothing items that fits the style profile you created. The styling fee is $20.00 but if you keep anything from your fix, you can apply it toward the price of the item you are keeping. If you keep all 5 items, you get a 25% discount.


This is the first item I pulled out of my box:








DOLCE VITA Heeley Woven Mules 
One exciting thing that is happening at Stitch Fix is the introduction of shoes! I started seeing a lot of girls getting fabulous shoes from heels, sandals, booties to sneakers. If you are very particular about shoes, you can actually opt out from getting shoes in your fixes, similarly to accessories.  I wanted to try out the shoe option for while to see what kind of shoes I can get, so I requested tan booties hoping they would have some in stock. Unfortunately, they did not have any tan booties, but my stylist sent me these mules instead. I am not too crazy about the new mule trend and I thought the price was too high for something you don't absolutely love, so these were RETURNED. 






SKIES ARE BLUE Terese Quilted Faux Leather Jacket 
I was so excited that my stylist listened to my requests and sent me a faux leather jacket. At first, I was a little disappointed that it was not more edgy and moto-style, but in the end I decided that it's better that way because it's going to be more versatile and I can wear it more. 
This one I'm KEEPING for sure!
Also, I really love the dress that is featured on the styling card with the jacket, so I am requesting it for my next fix. 





41 HAWTHORN Edwin Scoop Neck Blouse
This is a nice blouse and I was pleasantly surprised that it was not too lose or baggy. One problem I have had with Stitch Fix tops is that there a a lot of loose and flowy styles that I do not like and they do not work well for my body. The colors and patterns were cute but I decided that it was not worth $58 , so I ended up RETURNING it. I did, however, like it styled with the faux leather jacket above. 







41HAWTHORN Sena Bar Black Blouse
I thought so hard on this one. I absolutely love the back of this top. It's unique and sexy. The front was not very exciting and kind of baggy. I also hated the tab sleeves as they kept falling down and getting caught on my elbow. I also tried styling the top by tucking it in my pants to make it look a little better, which I think helped a little. In the end, I decided that I currently don't have anywhere to wear this top, so I ended up  RETURNING it and hopefully I'm not going to regret it. 



I apologize in advance for the dirty mirror :( 



KUT FROM THE CLOTH Denna Skinny Jeans
This was another hard decision. I did request light skinny jeans and my stylist delivered. However, these were a little too long for me and I did not feel like having them altered, so I returned them. They fit very well though and were so comfortable.   RETURNED

Even though I ended up keeping only one item I consider this to be a very successful fix. I was very satisfied with the selection of items I received. I really enjoy trying on all these fun clothes and deciding which ones I'd like to keep. Since I did not buy that much this time around, I felt that it was justified to get another fix so I immediately scheduled another fix to come later this month.
