"Sock-Up for Spring" Men's Sockwork Review and Promo Code

I really am excited to share Sockwork subscription again on my blog. This new subscription is quickly becoming one of my favorite subscriptions. The great people behind Sockwork graciously offered to send me the men’s subscription box to review here on my blog. You can see the women’s subscription box HERE. And I cannot wait to show these wonderfully stylish socks.

What is Sockwork?

Sockwork is a subscription that sends 2 pairs of wonderful and stylish socks right to your door each month.  “Socks with a Purpose” is such a great motto for this company because Sockwork was not only started by Veterans, but it was specifically  started with veterans in mind. The people behind  Sockwork wanted to do something that gave back to fellow soldiers,  so each month Sockwork will pick a Veteran non-profit and will donate 10% of their proceeds to that non-profit.

You might ask yourself, well how does Sockwork work? Well, it is really simple. Sockwork has sock subscriptions available for Guys and Gals. After choosing what type of subscription you would like, or maybe both, you then pick your style. Sockwork has socks that fit any style, from Pro, Fun or Mix. 

You then decide for how long you would like your subscription, take note you save some money if if you purchase a longer term subscription up front.

Cost Per Month: $20 (that’s $10 per pair of socks). And remember 10% of the proceed go to help Veterans.

Mens Sockwork Subscription Box

Just like my previous box of wonderful women's socks, the men’s box from Sockwork came very quickly. I could not wait to dig right into it. Our little one got to it first though, and loved the little mint candy that was included it the box. 

Richer Poorer Inc. Hanky -Yellow Socks -$12

I must say Sockwork sent out some pretty awesome socks for this first box, and I loved it. I just thought these Hanky yellow socks were fantastic. I have always loved Richer Poorer Inc. brand and the style, so I was over the top thrilled to see them in the men’s Sockwork box. These Hanky yellow socks may not be A’s style, but I could wear them around myself instead. They might be a little big, but I can make them work. 

Richer Poorer Inc. Prep- Blue & Green Socks-$12

Another great pair of Richer Poorer Inc. socks, and I liked these just as much as the first, if not more. I am a fanatic of anything blue and green, since those are the Seahawk’s colors. So, these will be perfect to add to A’s Seahawk gear when the season starts. 

TICKLED PINK OPINION

My overall impression of Sockwork is still as strong as it was with my first box. Sockwork has shown to be a fantastic company that cares about their customers, and also sends out some awesome top-notch products to their subscribers each month. The men’s subscription box was just as impressive as the women’s box I received. My men’s Sockwork box contained $24 worth of stylish Richer Poorer Inc. socks, which was well worth the subscription cost of $20 per month. Additionally, Sockwork donates 10% of their proceeds to a non-profit associated with helping veterans, which is impressive in itself. I appreciate knowing that by subscribing to Sockwork that not only are you fitting your feet with some stylish dubs, but also helping out a great cause!

Until next time…

Stay Tickled Pink,

What to Choose? Stitch Fix #10 Review

I am first going to start by saying I absolutely love Stitch Fix, I love how easy and convenient it is, and I really just love getting clothes in general.  I got my 10th fix a couple weeks ago, and my 11th is in route to me now. So, before I get the next fix I thought I would share my 10th Stitch Fix box first.  However, now that I told you I still love Stitch Fix, I have to tell you that this was not my favorite fix, but you win some and well… some you don't.

What is Stitch Fix?

Stitch Fix is a personal styling service. Stitch Fix gets your style and size preferences, then send you a package of stylish goodies to try on at home. And No two Fix™ shipments are alike. Each one is hand–picked just for you. It costs $20 per month, and this $20 can be used towards the purchase of any of the items Stitch Fix adds to your box.

Stitch Fix #10

Like I said, this was not my favorite fix picked out for me. Other fixes have been awesome.  I know I did not leave my stylist any notes this time, but I do have a pretty good Pinterest board. So, I am not sure if they pick out clothing based on that or not.  I may have to work on my notes to my stylist next time. 

41 Hawthorne Bixby Line Printed 3/4 Sleeve Top$38

This was a great top. I loved the pattern, and the material that it was made out of. I always am looking for a great top that would be good for work or equally good being worn on a casual weekend. The only thing I was not sure about was the fit. I didn’t think it looked quite as good as it should. So, on to the next….

Fun2Fun Rhiannon Pleat Detail Sleeveless Blouse $48

Sorry about the Picture Quality, and the writing on the mirror. We still are celebrating Seahawks win, as the mirror still says "Beast Mode”!

This blouse was a good pick for me for a work shirt; With a pencil skirt it would look great. In my picture I was just wearing it with black leggings, and it didn't look too great, but tucked into a skirt I am sure it would look much better. However, the color was just not doing it for me for some reason, neither were the pleats. So on to the next…

Under Skies Clayton Split-Neck Short Sleeve Blouse $58

Typically this kind of blouse, that is loose and would go perfect with a pair of black leggings, would be perfect for me. And, when I first took a look at this shirt I thought it was a great color, and I was really excited to try it on. However, when I tried it on, the first thing I thought is that I looked like I was getting ready to go bowling. Yes, a bowling shirt. Well, that was a no go for me. Bummer…. and to the next. 

Fate Garvey Tribal Print Open Front Cardigan $68

As you can see I was really contemplating this sweater. I think I tried in on like, at least, 6-7 times. I am  the biggest fan tribal print and nice cozy sweaters. So, when you put tribal print and cozy sweater together thats it for me.  I really loved this pick, and after months of asking for tribal print sweaters in my Stitch Fix boxes I finally got them in two fixes in a row. And now for the sad news,  I love tribal sweaters so much I have way too many now. I could not justify getting another one. Oh Stitch Fix, if you only sent this months ago! Okay and now for the last item…

Aryeh Judith Abstract Stiped Fit & Flare Dress $48

Again, sorry about the mirror and the picture quality. The pictures were taken in two sessions, as you can tell, as some look okay and some are like this, haha!

When I first saw this dress I was not too sure about the pattern. I definitely would have never picked out something like this on my own. However, after trying it on, it really grew on me. The material of the dress is super soft, and it has pockets. I just adore pockets in dresses. With a blazer or cardigan, it would be a perfect dress for work.  So, I finally had a winner! 

TICKLED PINK OPINION

Well, there were a couple winners out of this 10th Stitch Fix. As you probably could tell I only kept the Judith Abstract Dress, and have already worn it. If the clothing picks could have been more in sync with my style I may have purchased more, but that is okay. I guess after looking at some other subscribers boxes for the month of February, I was a little bummed with some of my items, as I really liked some other’s fixes a lot.  By no means does this mean that I giving up on Stitch Fix though. I really love Stitch Fix, and get super excited to get my fix each month. And as I type this now my 11th fix is on it’s way to me. YAY!

New Clothing Subscription- Cypress & 5th Review

I really do love hearing about and finding new clothing subscriptions like the one I am going to review below. Cypress & 5^th is a new clothing subscription, that sends out some fantastic clothing conveniently right to your door each month.  I am super excited to share with you my first January box with you.

What is Cypress & 5th?

The ladies behind Cypress & 5^th believe that ladies deserve to be styled for individuality. Cypress & 5th helps ladies get their own personalized clothing each month. Each month Cypress & 5th specializes a virtual Dressing Room designed just for you. You then go through your personal dressing room each month and pick your choice of 2 or 3 items to be shipped to you for $74.95! There is not contract.  Members have 5 days to view their Dressing Room and decide to either “Keep Shopping” or “Opt Out” for the month.  After the first month’s setup, members who choose to continue will be charged $74.95 on the 5th of each month and have the rest of the month to decide what they want!

January

Cypress & 5^th Picks

When you first log into Cypress & 5^th you go through their style quiz, so that the stylist can pick the items that fit your style the best.  The Stylist then picks out the items that fit your style best and put them in your Dressing Room for you to pick from.

When I first went through my Dressing Room, I was very impressed with some of the picks, but was not really into some of the other picks. I waited a couple days to actually pick out what I wanted, so when I finally picked out my selections, some of the items were already sold out. I e-mailed Cypress & 5^th, and I was super impressed that I was given some other options to choose from.

Blu Pepper Pink Leopard Sweater$36 Retail

It was very hard for me to pick between the shirts while I was going through my Dressing Room. I really liked a couple of the picks. I actually would have went for two top options, rather than a bottom if I could.  After trying on this sweater, I knew immediately that I made a good pick. This sweater is super soft, cozy, and looks great on.  This sweater is definitely my style, and something I would have picked out on my own.

Timing Khaki Jeggings $30 Retail

I was not too sure about the options I had for bottoms, but after working out some more options in my dressing room I was able to decide on these Khaki Jeggings. These are heavier than other leggings/jeggings I have bought on my own, but I really like them. They are perfect for colder weather.

Peach Aztec Print Scarf $20?

I could not find this scarf online, but I estimate that I easily would purchase this online for around $20. What I really love about this scarf, other than the Aztec print, which I love, is that it is an infinity scarf, and super soft. It will be perfect for spring season.

TICKLED PINK OPINION

Overall, I am very pleased with the first box I received from Cypress & 5^th. I would have enjoyed it a little more if  all my picks worked together as one outfit. However, Cypress & 5^th does a great job of giving style options for each of my selections, which are seen on the cards above. For $74.95, I received around $96 worth of clothing, which is fantastic. I could not be happier with the quality of the clothing as well. I just wish that some of my Dressing Room picks were still available to me when I went back to make my selections for January. But when you snooze, you lose. I should have made my selections earlier. Even for February, I waited a couple days after I got my dressing room and some of my selections were already gone. Thankfully the ladies over at Cypress & 5^th are super helpful, and they helped work out some great options for me for my February clothing selection! I see big things in the future for Cypress & 5^th, and cannot wait to see more from this great clothing subscription!

If you are interested in getting styled and get your own Dressing Room customized for you through Cypress & 5^th, you can HERE, and make sure you let them know I sent you!

Until next time…

Aztec Sweater Love- Stitch Fix #9 Review

I have been thinking more about where I want my blog to go, and I would love to share more of my love for clothing and fashion on here. It is a little difficult at times to do that though, dealing with time or lack thereof,  my full time office job. and more so getting the pictures I would like to share on here.  I really just wish I could have a photographer to call my own, haha. I think the hardest part not finding the time to take the pictures so much, but getting quality pictures to share. Well with a mix of my subscription reviews, and with me wanting to share more my love for clothing, here is my latest Stitch Fix that I received a couple weeks ago. 

What is Stitch Fix?

Stitch Fix is a personal styling service. Stitch Fix gets your style and size preferences, then send you a package of stylish goodies to try on at home. And No two Fix^™ shipments are alike. Each one is hand–picked just for you. It costs $20 per month, and this $20 can be used towards the purchase of any of the items Stitch Fix adds to your box.

Stitch Fix #9

If you have read any of my other posts I actually skipped Stitch Fix #8. I got that one back in December, and it just was so busy that I ended up not having time to share on here. However, I did not want to miss in showing you my fix for this month, because it included one my favorites.

Ark n Co Gunther Asymetrical Stripe Fit & Flare Dress  $88

I really loved the black and white pattern of this dress, and style wise it was just right. However, it just was a little too short for my taste. And, I just got a dress exactly like this a couple weeks before online for just $10. So, as you can tell I saved myself a couple dollars.

Daniel Rainn Palermo Pleat Detail Button-Up Blouse $78

This was a great black blouse, but it looks like shirts I already have. While, I really do not think I can have enough black blouses, I just did not want to spend $78 on another one. Unfortunately, I usually tend to spend a little less on shirts. Yes, I try my hardest to be frugal.

Papermoon Jillian Jaquard Fit & Flare Skirt $48

I thought I would really like this skirt, and it was made of the softest material. However, after putting in on, I just did not like how I looked in it. Bummer cause it really was very cute.

Moon Collection Alexander Aztec Knit Drape Front Cardigan $68

Okay this was my favorite out of any Stitch Fixes that I have received thus far.  I think because I have been asking Stitch Fix to include an Aztec Sweater for awhile now. So, I was super excited when there finally was one in my Stitch Fix.  Even though I tend to not spend as much on sweaters, I had to keep this one. Cannot let my $20 credit go to waste.

41 Hawthorn Rowson Colorblock Striped Sweater $58 

After reviewing other blogger’s reviews of their Stitch Fix, 41 Hawthorn is one of the popular brands for Stitch Fix. I do not get many 41 Hawthorn shirts in my fixes. However, this sweater was pretty cute, and loved how it looked on.  But, even though I really liked this sweater, I could not justify spending lots on sweaters for myself this month, so it went back.

TICKLED PINK OPINION

Overall, my Stitch Fix #9 was great because I got my Aztec Sweater. I really think that Stitch Fix is a great and convenient way to get stylish clothing for a reasonable price. Yes, some clothing pieces are more costly than I like, but the convenience out ways the price. What I really love about Stitch Fix, is that you are not obligated to keep anything, and likewise you can keep it all if you want, and you get a 25% off discount if you keep it all. It is easy as Pie! I never can not use my $20 styling credit, so I at least keep one item. This time around I kept the Moon Collection Alexander Aztec Sweater, of course! The added plus of Stitch Fix is that after you checkout, you can schedule another Stitch Fix right away, or you can pick another date to have your Stitch Fix delivered. It is the most convenient way to shop. I cannot wait for my next Fix!

Until next time…

Stitch Fix- Stylist Delivered Fix #5 Reviewed

So I have been slacking with my boxes like Stitch Fix and RocksBox, since I can schedule them as I like. But, I have had this Stitch Fix on my to-do list for a  while now, and since I now have another Fix on it’s way I thought I should hurry up and share this #5 Stitch Fix before #6 comes. So here goes...

What is Stitch Fix?

Stitch Fix is a personal styling service. Stitch Fix gets your style and size preferences, then send you a package of stylish goodies to try on at home. And No two Fix^™ shipments are alike. Each one is hand–picked just for you. It costs $20 per month, and this $20 can be used towards the purchase of any of the items Stitch Fix adds to your box.

Stitch Fix Box #5

My stylist Michelle has picked out some great pieces, and while some just did not fit me as well, others were pretty good. I think with some more feedback from me, I will start to get pieces I would actually keep.

DownEast Banks Sheer Dot Peter Pan Collar Top -$28

When I first saw that it was a Peter Pan Collar Top, I was not sure about this shirt, but after trying it on I changed my mind. I really love more sheer flowy feeling tops that I can easily pair with jeans or wear with a pencil skirt for work. I would have loved this shirt more if it were a different color.  But, overall, I think it looked okay.  

Mystree Cairo Crochet Detail Sheer Back Top- $35

Crochet shirt, hmmm… not sure if that exactly is my style. When I think of a crochet shirt I think more Boho Style. However, I did try this on and think it was not too bad looking, maybe not on me in particular, but cute.  I just did not think it flattered me very well, so I decided it would have to be sent back.

Potter’s Pot Monique Double Breasted Trench Coat -$48

Again, a color issue with this coat. While I may have kept this coat,  I really did not like the color.  Additionally, when it comes to my style and coats I am very picky anyways. So, when I go out and get a coat on my own, is more professional and feminine. Not sure this trench coat was for me.

Oxmo Mea Center Ruffle Floral Button Tank-  $28

I really loved the color of this shirt, and really think it would work great as a layering piece for fall. It fit very well, and I really liked it. I know it was a little plainer in comparison with the other pieces in the box, but I really do love when I can wear a piece during the hot months, and then wear it as a layering piece for the cold months. As well as wearing it casual and then wearing it pumped up a little bit for work. Versatility is what I look for in clothing pieces.

Peppermint Blair Swiss Dot Dress –$48

This picture really does not give this dress justice. It really was a very pretty dress, and fit perfectly. This was one of the top pieces to keep.

TICKLED PINK OPINION:  I always love getting my Stitch Fix box, and know that whatever is included in the box will be fun to try on. I am very impressed with the Stitch Fix stylist, and really think she needs to go shopping with me all the time, because somehow they always seem to send me clothing that fits perfectly. I never have that luck when I go shopping on my own.  I only kept one piece from this box the Oxmo shirt, as I always try to use my $20 credit. I think it is waste if you do not use it towards a piece. However, the total value if a bought this whole lot would be $187, and with the discount from Stitch Fix it would only cost $125.25. A great deal. I actually have never had a box retail this low before. I like it though. I really am excited to see what is in my next Stitch Fix.  I do plan on writing some more comments in the future so the box that comes my way fits my style even better. Stay Tuned for my next box soon! Cannot wait!

What did you think of Stitch Fix? Are you ready to add some fall clothing into your wardrobe, and to have you own personal stylist? Well you can find out more about Stitch Fix and sign up HERE. 

Until next time…
