The coral eyelet top and the pineapple print top both look super cute on you!
If I saw you in that flutter sleeve top I’d think you looked really cute and fashionable, I’d NEVER think it was inappropriate.
Thank you Laurena (what a pretty name!) I guess it was just a feel I got when I put it on.
Thanks so much for watching and I hope you have a great day!
Awesome share, have a wonderful day
Thank you! You too Dave!
Hey Tina! I love the color red on you! Very flattering color for you. I really liked the orange pineapple top on you.
Thank you so much Gloria! I hope you and your family have a great 4th!
The coral and red colors are beautiful on you. I think an off-white would suit your complexion better than the stark white. Maybe it's the lighting?? Thank you for sharing.
Thank you Stefani!💕
Hi Tina! Glad Natalie listened to you! I always request cotton I get incredibly itchy, I also look at clothes and if I like it I keep it saved and try to request it. I am getting that orange top in my fix, I hope I like it I am like you I hate wearing a strapless bra and I don’t like tops off my shoulder as well! Thanks for sharing 💜
Hi Brenda! I hope you like the orange shirt. It is very cute!
I wish I had thought to ask for cotton before! lol!
Thank you so much for watching and I hope you are having a great week!
I'm in my 60's and there are some trends I feel look good on me, and some I don't. I don't think of it as an age thing, but I get what you meant when you said, "it looks like I'm trying too hard". I don't care for the pouffy flutter sleeves that red top had and I'd feel a bit silly wearing something like that. Good for your stylist sending you cotton items. I shy away from polyester because it doesn't breathe and I get overheated wearing it. Generally, I get mostly polyester from StitchFix. I sent everything back from my last fix.
Hi Diane! I so agree with you on wearing things that look good and not being concerned about age thing. I just didn't feel good in that adorable ruffle shirt.
I don't know why I never thought to ask for cotton items before?! It is nice having some other choices .
Thanks so much for watching. Hope you have a great week!
The eyelet looks good on you. It doesn't look like you are trying to hard to look young. Good box.
That is so nice of you to say Gail. Thank you! I think that top was adorable. I guess I just didn't feel right in it.
Thanks so much for watching. I hope you're having a great day!
I get tons of rayon and polyester tops from Stitch Fix. I don't think I have ever gotten a 100% cotton top. I actually liked all of the tops, (especially the pineapple one) none of which looked like you were trying too hard or trying to look younger. I personally have been super lucky of late. I just went back and checked, and my last 4 were 5/5. Sadly I really don't need anything either, so I've cut back on my deliveries of late. I need to balance want with true need. I'll pick back up in fall. Thanks as always for sharing. 🙂
Love the red top on you! I feel the same way about you regarding the ruffled sleeve top. I tried on one in white just today, and put it back
Hi Mary! It was so cute wasn't it??! Glad you can relate to how I was feeling.
Thanks for watching and I hope you have a great one!
I loved all the tops on you. I usually get polyester from Stitch Fix. Denim and polyester. Have a great day!
Thank you! I guess all I had to do was ask! lol!
Hope you had a great day too!
Hi Tina , I do receive cotton or cotton blend pieces in my boxes . I make sure to request natural fabrics in every note to my stylist . I’m sorry you weren’t comfortable in the red eyelet top because my first thought was how adorable it was on you . I also wanted to tell you that I received the same white blouse and found it was snug around the hip area as well. I think it may be due to the dolman style. I’m so glad you are getting the fabrics you requested and hopefully each fix will be better . Thanks so much for sharing and HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY !! 🇺🇸🎆
Hi Nina! So good to hear you are getting some cotton and cotton blend choices. I will definitely be requesting more in my upcoming boxes.
I am glad it wasn't just me with that white button down. At that price, I wish it had fit differently!
Thank you so much for watching and I hope you and your family have a great 4th too!
I was stunned at the prices, too. I thought the white button-down was a little too private school girl uniform, if that makes sense. I liked the red halter on you, but if it's a hassle, you won't wear it. And I agree the yellow wasn't the greatest color.
Oh Tina, I cracked up reading your comment!! Yes! I can now see school uniform too!! Lol!!
I know how you feel about the top - I love the details on it and you really suit that colour, but it's probably the sleeves - there's a lot of the "milkmaid" style dresses and tops around the moment which are very pretty but I don't think I'd feel right in them either. Much better Fix than of late, though 😉
Milkmaid made me giggle but so true!!
Have a wonderful day my beautiful friend!❤️
I don’t think I’ve gotten many cotton tops from Stitchfix. I’m like you in that I get a lot of polyester tops. I know exactly what you mean about the dark pink top. It looks like a style for a woman in her twenties or thirties. It’s the straps. I’m picky about the way clothes look and fit too. It’s not worth it to buy something that’s just going to hang in your closet. You did the right thing about not keeping anything. Have a wonderful day my sweet friend.
Of course you would understand everything I was trying to say!! lol! I guess in one way I am finally being realistic with myself on what I will actually wear! I have just donated way too many clothes with the tags on and I am just trying hard to do better.
I hope you are having a great week my sweet friend! Thanks for the smile!❤️
Hi Tina. Love the top that you chose. Adorable. I like the pineapple print. I like the white button down. The price is great.
The red top with the ruffle sleeve is perfect. It's not too young looking, whatever that means. It looks great on you!
The halter is great as well, but I understand about the strapless bra! Ugh.
I'm sorry that nothing worked out for you. I still loved the ruffle top on you, my sweet little sis. Have a great day. You are not difficult! ❤❤😘
Oh big sis! You always, ALWAYS lift me up!! Thank you for that.
I do think that ruffle sleeve top is the cutest! I just wish I felt comfortable and like "me" in it! Your little sis is weird! Lol!
Hope you are having a great week and that you get some time with that cutie grandson on the 4th!!😘
@tinasbestmidlife you aren't weird! But honestly, the red top was the cutest item of them all. You looked absolutely adorable in it.
Don't know if I'll see my little munchkin. Hard to believe that he turns 2 1/2 tomorrow! Hope you have some great plans for the 4th! Is Louie ok with fireworks? My cat, Simon, is terrified, and they've been shooting them off since the weekend. They shouldn't be allowed in residential areas.
Enjoy your week. Big hugs!❤❤🫂😘
@@reneklein6049 Oh my gosh! Time is going to fast! 2 1/2?!
I am actually just going to be staying home trying to comfort Louie. He is terrified of the fireworks too. 😢 It's so sad watching our fur babies be so scared...
Sending big hugs right back at ya❤
@@tinasbestmidlifeoh poor Louie. My heart goes out to him. Have you tried one of those thunder vests? It's horrible watching our fur babies become terrified. Simon just shakes. It breaks my heart.
As for Henry, yes growing up way too quickly. Seems like only yesterday that he arrived! It's so much fun watching him grow!
Give Louie a hug for me. ❤❤🐶🐕🐾🐾
@@reneklein6049 Yes, Louie has the thunder shirt and the definitely helps during thunderstorms, but unfortunately fireworks are a whole other story!
Have a great day big sis!
I've never received a cotton top. I would like some as well.
I guess we just have to ask and I can't believe I never thought to before!
Hi Tina! How great that Natalie really listened to your feedback and sent all those cotton pieces. When I used to get StitchFix I never got cotton tops, they were always polyester.
You are NOT weird for being particular about what you choose to buy at all. I totally understand not wanting to look like you're trying to hard to look young (that saying "mutton dressed as lamb" sticks with me when I think I might be wearing something to young). I will say that the red halter top looked amazing on you but I don't like strapless bra's either and it wouldn't be worth it to me! Hmmm...maybe that's a video idea? A strapless bra showdown! Now I don't mean that you should model strapless bra's for us 😂 but maybe get ideas from your viewers as to favorite strapless bra brands and try them to see how they feel? That might be expensive though! I've heard the Wacoal strapless bra's are super comfy but I've never tried them.
Anyway! Have a wonderful 4th my friend! 😊
Sallie! Oh my gosh! You absolutely made my day with your comment!! You are hilarious!!!😂 Just what I needed!!!
I did like that halter too, but that darn bra!! I should look into the Wacoal bra. Even if I didn't do a whole video on strapless bras, it would be nice to be able to recommend something that doesn't feel like a straight jacket!
Thanks again for making me laugh so hard!!
I hope you have a wonderful 4th too my sweet friend!!❤️
never got any cotton tops from them. one reason I would be ordering from them any longer. thanks for sharing.
Hi Peggy! Even though I didn't keep anything, it is really nice having some cotton options. I guess I just needed to ask!
Thanks so much for watching. I hope you're having a great day!
Hi Tina! I don't think it's weird at all to feel the way you did about the top. I would probably feel that way too and I've sold a few items with that same kind of ruffle sleeve. I have a dress in my closet I've never worn yet I immediately loved it. It has a puffy sleeve and I love the fabric but I never reach for it. I completely get it. Good call to send everything back.
I can see that you know exactly what I was trying to get across. I think that red top is adorable! And I could have easily purchased it, only to have it sit in the closet with the tag on, just like your dress!
Thank you so much for watching. I hope you are having a great day!
Ok Tina, first of all , you are young😁 50 is not old. You have a lovely figure and you are such a cute lady. I loved all the tops on you but I am a cotton and linen fan. I live in a very warm climate so I hate polyester. Saying all that you have to see yourself and feel pretty and comfortable in your clothes. My daughter in law is tall and beautiful like you and she’s picky too, but I love to shop with her and pick out things for her to try and then she loves them. Tall girls are very blessed!
Oh my goodness! I don't know what has been happening to my comments today. I replied to you 2 times and it keeps disappearing. Fingers crossed this one sticks!
I don't feel old at all! lol! But just didn't feel my best in that adorable ruffle top. I am really liking linen this summer too.
Thank you so much for watching and leaving me such a sweet comment. You made me smile!🥰
So glad I saw this, it’s my last watch of the day & just selected preview pieces for my upcoming fix. Too funny, my fave color is red & that halter had caught my eye in Freestyle. Definitely a great color on you. You are so right, it was a well priced box & great that your stylist has been listening to your preferences. I do receive cotton sometimes but more of the polys/rayons. The pieces were nice but was clear they weren’t hitting the mark for what you wanted in the try on. I 💯 agree with your sentiments on not being boxed into age limit dressing..in my opinion boils down to an individual’s preference. If you don’t love or feel comfortable in something, wait for something else that will give you joy 🤩 Last thing…a short sleeve white button down would be really cute but this one catapulted me all the way back to my Catholic school uniform trauma lol. If they still have them check out Loft, I picked up an adorable gauze crinkly button down in white. Was sooo comfy I ended up getting in navy & also guava. Sorry for yapping so long my friend. Have a good night & catch up soon ❤
Hi Marie!! I'm cracking up because apparently you weren't the only one who got "school uniform" vibes from the white button down! Lol!
It is nice to hear you agree about not putting any age limits on clothes. I am really just trying to go by how I feel wearing something. If I feel great, I don't care what anyone else thinks! I guess that is one advantage of growing older, right?
I was thinking of you last week, when I took a trip to LOFT. I took in a dressing room full of clothes, but came out empty handed. We know that doesn't happen there very often! It was just one of those days, I didn't like anything on me! I guess it was good for my wallet though. Lol!
Hope you are still feeling better. Have a great day my sweet friend!❤️
@@tinasbestmidlife Too funny! Yes, those required oxfords can definitely leave a lasting scar lol. Absolutely!! If you feel great & comfortable that is what matters. I always try to dress for myself first & if someone doesn’t like it, too bad 💃🏻 I had a similar experience last time I was there with the items I tried on..which is completely out of the norm! I think I may not have been in the mood that day but since I bought a good handful of things the trip before, my wallet was thanking me too 😆 Thank you so much sweet friend, I am good & about 80% there now. Still keeping it low key. My project today is to tinker with finalizing my Inst/Fbk. I have held out all these years but finally broke down to connect with distant family & old friends. Hope you have a wonderful day ❤️
Good morning, Tina! 🙂 I had several thoughts watching this:
I would want more 100% cotton, were it not for the wrinkling. 🙄 So, I tend to prefer a cotton blend.
I also agree that we should wear what we feel good in. I wear and love some styles that might be viewed as best for younger women, but others I just feel silly in.
Lastly, I raised my price point with Stitch Fix probably a year ago, and I even mentioned I'm looking for high-end pieces in my note to the stylist. STILL they send me lower priced items! I don't get it. 🤷♀️ I'm glad to see your stylist worked so hard to accommodate you.
I hope you have a lovely Tuesday, my friend!!
I think I am going to be asking for cotton blend as well. I just like having choices with all the polyester tops I'm getting. That is a bit discouraging hearing you upped your price point and still are getting the same tops! We will have to see where this goes, although I do thing Natalie is doing a good job.
Thanks so much for watching my sweet friend!❤️
Hello Tina! I think the red flutter sleeve top looks nice on you. I don’t feel like it makes you look like you are trying too hard to look younger.😊
Jennifer, that is so nice of you to say! I really appreciate it!💕
Hi Tina - Happy 4th of July week. I aged out of stitch fix. I just turned a young 67. I understand the feeling of thinking I am trying to dress too young. We have to find the balance. I did think the red ruffled top looked great on you, but you have to feel comfortable in your choices and clothing needs to match our personality. I hope you have a great week. ❤️🤗
Well Happy Belated Birthday my sweet friend!! I am glad you can understand what I meant. I so agree with you that we have to find the balance and just feel comfortable in what we are wearing.
Thank you for watching and I hope you are having a great week!❤️
Hi Tina. I thought all the pieces were nice. The red top was lovely on you but if you’re not comfortable wearing it then send it back. It’s a pity about the white blouse, you’re right, it was too tight around the bottom and yet the bust and arms fitted you so well. Enjoyed your video, as always. Betty 🙂 x
Hi Betty!! You are ALWAYS the sweetest! Thank you!
You and I both know, that not liking anything from this box is not a problem. There will be more clothes! Lol!
Hope you are having a lovely day my sweet friend. Take care!❤️
I don't think I ever got cotton items from Stitchfix but I am going to request some
I don't know why I never thought to ask before??
Hope you have a good one Shannon!
Hi Tina, I had to repeatedly say I needed a 31/32 inch inseam in pants before I actually got any. I don’t think I ever got a cotton top? If I did, I didn’t keep it. I like getting boxes. It is time to renew my style pass, that will be the decision maker in regard to if I continue or not. If I feel good in something, then I wear it. I don’t let my age determine if I will wear it or not. I will break out the strapless bra for anything that seems like a strap will show.
Hi Lynne! I think one the problems with SF is that they really don't have a lot of 34" inseams in stock.
And I could not agree more! I think it is so much more important to wear what you feel good in as opposed to some age restriction. I loved that red ruffle top. I just wish I felt more comfortable in it!
I just found out that Stitch Fix is not renewing my style pass! I even emailed as I had hear that other TH-camr 's had renewed theirs. They said that they are doing away with all style passes and that because we all renew at different times, they probably renewed before the final decision to stop the style pass. I am disappointed! Please let me know what they tell you about your renewal. I am just curious.
Thanks so much for watching my friend! I hope you are having a great week!
Since you would lose your $20 style fee , take the white shirt. It would be less than $10, a good buy. I didn’t think it was too tight.
Thanks Marlene! I actually am still under my style pass, so I didn't have a $20 styling fee.
Thanks so much for watching! Hope you have a great week!
@@tinasbestmidlife that does make a difference.
They have a TON of polyester. Cotton is limited and your stylist did her best. And yes, increasing the price range definitely helps.
And I’m with you on the strapless bra.
Carolyn, I think I just needed ask! My preview was full of cotton! And I think she did a good job, even though I didn't keep anything.
Glad you can understand the idea of having to LOVE a top in order to break out the strapless bra! Lol!
I really like the red top on you, It's my favorite
Hi Judy! I think it is so cute too! I just wish I felt better in it!💕
I finally parted ways with Stitch Fix. I had my price points set higher in hopes I would get better brands. I have several items I wanted to try liked and in my cart. I rejected everything in two previews. They previewed long sleeved sweaters and jackets in June. I always got cheap looking TJ Maxx clearance rack looking stuff. I seriously think they have AI or bots or something doing the styling.
Hi Cindy! That is definitely discouraging! I have had those boxes too, where I don't think a human has ever touched it. But I really think my stylist Natalie really worked on this. Have you ever tried Front Door Fashion? That is an excellent service where you are actually talking , texting or emailing your stylist.
Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to leave me a comment. I really appreciate it!!
My stitch fix profile says no 100 percent polyester items. I get cotton, cotton blends and rayon. Polyester feels hot and yucky on me.
I am feeling dumb for never having requested cotton or cotton blends in the past! Good to know you get them.
Thanks for watching and I hope you have a good one!
Yay for cotton! However....the white top looks like a school uniform. The coral/red top looks nice on you, but it doesnt make you happy, so its a no. Why oh why cant they send you pants that are long enough?
Hi Melissa! I feel kind of dumb for never having thought to ask for cotton or cotton blends before now!
I think she was trying very hard with the jeans. They are listed as a 33" inseam, so pretty close(although I think they were actually shorter than 33")
Thanks so much for watching my friend. I hope you're having a great weekend!
Unfortunately I would send it all back. The white short sleeve I didn’t like the fit especially the arms it looked kind of boxy and too short, I knew before you said it that the ruffle red sleeve you were going to think looked too young and I would have said the same thing for me, the mustard color was just ok, I agree with the strapless bra and the jeans were too short. You don’t have to feel bad about sending it all back, they expect you are going keep so everything every time. 😊
Hi Sheila! You having been with me so long, it's not a surprise you know what I am thinking! Lol!
Hope you are having a good week. Do you have any fun plans for the the 4th?
@@tinasbestmidlife well tomorrow is my birthday so I am going out to dinner with a friend and then Sunday I am going to try yoga at a studio for the first time. How about you?
@@sheilahall7588 Oh my gosh!!! Happy Birthday!!!!!! I hope you have a day as lovely as you!!❤
Tina, hello....honestly none of the tops did any thing to flatter beautiful you. The best fitting one was the red with the ruffle sleeve that you thought was too young looking, the halter sagged at the arm pits and the white, I agree with another commenter that it looks like a uniform shirt. The pineapple one looks like it would be a nightmare to keeps looking fresh after washes. I too prefer a cotton blend over a 100 percent cotton for two reasons....the blends seem to wash up better with little to no shrinkage and not near as difficult to iron or steam as 100% cotton is. The red ruffled top was very flattering on you and I didn't think it looked too you; however you have to wear what's comfortable for you.
Hi Sandi! Well aren't you so sweet!! Thank you!
That red top is adorable!! I just wish I felt more comfortable in it.
I think I am going to ask for cotton blend tops and see what they have because I agree they are easier than some 100% cotton tops.
Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to leave me a such a nice comment. I really appreciate it!
I thought the jeans looked great on you, especially the shorter length. So cute with sneakers in the summer. And because of your long legs you can wear jeans like that.
But that is just my opinion, if you don't feel comfortable in them, they just are not for you.
Hi Carla! Thank you! Very sweet of you to say. I do like that length of jean in the summer, but I have so many pairs that length already, I really just didn't need to add another pair.
Thank you so much for watching and I hope you have a great day!
I don’t know about the styles but that red is your color. Your face lit up with that color.
Thank you for making my day Jackie! So kind of you to say!💕
I think it should all go back sadly
Nothing really stood out
Hi Donise! We are on the same wavelength! Lol!
Hi Tina. I don’t understand your sentiment around the red top seeming like you are trying too hard to be young. I don’t think that top says anything age specific. It’s just a cute top.
Hi Tiffany! I guess it was just a feeling I got when I tried on that top and it is so cute! I really don't think any clothes have to be age specific. I guess I'm just trying to go by how I feel.
Thanks so much for watching, I hope you have a great week!
@@tinasbestmidlife I totally get it on the feeling that you get while wearing a garment. That is definitely what matters most. Just don’t limit yourself though. For the record, it looked great on you!
Thank you! You are very sweet and I appreciate that!❤️
The orange print top looked good on you and might work really well with shorts. White shirt was plain and was not very stylish. The orange ruffled top did not look good on you, the color in a different style would look good. The ruffled sleeves did not work well with your arms. Like the red color but not the style.
Thanks Mary Ann! I do love that color too!
I thought the red halter top looked great on you. Maybe try a stick on bra instead?
Hi Andrea! Thank you! I have never tried those stick on bras but just worry I wouldn't have enough support.
