Stitch Fix August 2018

-
My last fix blog mentioned me getting fixes every three months, but for this instance I was still looking for a dress that matched the wedding colors/scheme a little more I changed the date to just a little earlier.  There were some decent finds, and one that I wasn't thrilled with.

First is the Market & Spruce Elody Embroidered Detail Dress, which has a really nice color (thanks Google for this color pop).  It was nice forming, had a cute design and a string to tie in the back, which was longer then I would have preferred.  It had pockets too!


The fix also contained a Q&A Nataliya Crochet Detail Dress, again there were pockets.  This dress was so light in color that I am pretty sure you can see the shorts I am wearing underneath in this picture, and I am also afraid would get very dirty  It is not like I am a messy person, but I usually try and stay away from light colors for such a reason.


And then there was the Tahari ASL Lyra Laser Cut Dress, some how I only have a front facing picture of me wearing it, sorry this is what you get.   My stylist did say this was more for a formal occasion, but I was not going to something this formal any time soon.  Let me explain, my mom buys Tahari for work, and while these are supposed to be you can only find at stitch fix, I am 80-90% sure my mom owns something close to this.  It may not be Tahari, but she owns a bright blue dress that looks similar to this that I think she wears to work.  I don't think I need anything that formal right now, and I don't want to match my mom either (sorry mom).

Lets get back to something a little more my style and fun this Pixley Ashlend Knit Dress.  As this is a later post, and if you follow me on other social media platforms you should know this is the one I kept and wore to the wedding.  Of the dresses, this one was fun, colorful, easy to move in and relatively matched the wedding colors, or at least matched my boyfriend who had a navy tie and pocket tissue with his suit.  Win, win!  I just had to go buy a sweater to match, or match-ish.


Lastly comes this Truly Poppy Cassondra Maxi Dress, which is darker then the last maxi dress that came which was disappointing, although I'm not sure I mentioned the dress was too dark on my review when returning so, my fault.  So beside it being a bit to dark of a color to wear to a wedding, it also seemed short, or short for me.  As I've said, I don't like my legs, so I almost prefer a longer dress, but this one was just cut short, and maybe it is supposed to had to just my ankles or right above, but I want it to the floor, and it did not quite make it. 


Again, you pay for what you keep and return the rest, giving feed back about price, size, style etc.

 When I go back and think, I may not have taken a picture of the dinners I made.  Nope no picture of the Cajun fried rice or the Cajun chicken pasta .  I even tried to remind myself to take a picture of it as my lunch, and even that was a no.   Guess I'll start with the fried rice since I made that first.  I think it seemed simple enough, and I was almost positive I had all of the ingredients or if not a substitute, as I switched the brown rice out for white.  For the life of me I kept forgetting to look and make sure we had shrimp, but also take it out to defrost.  Our freezer is not that big, but the shrimp was all the way in the back behind baked goods, chicken, berries and a few other things I forgot were in there.   Shrimp came out and defrosted day of, although I don't think they were deveined so they took a little more prep work once the cooking started.  Side note, my coworker had mentioned making shrimp tacos and I thought...

  Yikes!  Did the last month or so get away from me or what.  I had honestly started this, well prepped this a month ago, and then apparently life happened.  So before I'm two months behind, what did I make in July.   I made lots of things with cream cheese, and if you keep up more will come, a because these mini cheese cakes were a bit of a cheat while I yet again wait on buying something that I may not have room for in my kitchen right now.  Yes a springform pan takes up less room then a stand mixer, but how often will I use it?  Actually if I had one I might use it as regularly as I am my muffin tin and donut pan.  Well, maybe not but at the rate I'm going at least once every couple months.   Now I went with mini cheesecakes to lets say ease myself into it.  I've had most if not all the ingredients for a month, and was just waiting for the right time, and I may have pushed back because cheesecake isn't really a summer treat...

List of Making

 I've got a few things scattered here and there, and pins saved for a rainy day but if I write them here maybe make myself more accountable they might be more likely to happen.  I thought about lasagna a few weeks ago, knew I had most of what I needed, just needed a recipe really.  Do I have my mom's recipe or is it one of those things that's more in her head but not written down anywhere?   I also talked to her about making chicken and dumplings to get her thoughts/input since I've got bisquick and I think it would go over well here.   Just went through my "recipe book" I typed up before starting college thinking I was going to be like my sister who had moved out a year before making all these fancy things for myself for dinner.  Makes me laugh what I put in it.  Mostly desserts, some snack or side dishes and maybe a few actual meals.  Way to go Carrie from ten years ago! So here is the list (probably won't make all of these) but it sh...
