tinyjoys I LOVE Audrey Graham! I think it's a very sweet way to honor your grandpa and it doesn't feel out of place as a middle name on a girl. Rama That really sucks, I'm so sorry. I hate pregnancy dreams, and you're getting hit hard with them. Maybe call your brother today and see if that helps you shake it off?

Oh my gosh Rama you poor thing! These dreams you're having are so awful. Have you tried controlling your dreams at all? I haven't tried it with pregnancy dreams, but I used to be able to focus on something before I fell asleep and that's what I would dream about. Maybe try focusing on happy things while you're falling asleep? I hope the bad dreams stop for you!

I want to throat punch your dreams Rama but I can't figure out how. Try to imagine a cartoon mermaid coming to save the day the next time you have a bad one.

I've never been able to master the art of controlling what I dream about, only getting myself out of danger. ![:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/sad.png) Most of the time I don't dream at all, so it's particularly hard to tell what's real and not with the "real" dreams. The weird ones I can usually identify pretty easily, but these ones have been pretty believable. T^T

Rama I'm really sorry about the dreams you've been having. That's a horrible feeling to wake up to. I just want to offer a hug, and my hopes that your dreams will ease up. ![](https://media.giphy.com/media/lXiRKBj0SAA0EWvbG/giphy.gif)

I just got my first Stitch Fix box!! It was fun to try everything on and see what the stylist picked out. I'm going to part-AW but mostly ask for honest and brutal opinions, because I'm torn on some of the pieces. I'm sorry in advance for the wall o' pictures. Piece #1: the top. I don't normally do bold florals (but maybe pregnancy is the time to go for it?), and I'm afraid the neckline makes my bust look even bigger than it is. But the fit otherwise and the fabric seem nice. Piece #2: the jeans. I already know I'm sending them back - they're too big, in the thigh and at the bottom. I like the dark wash though! ![](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171005/936f6934ee7aac54134370c4ad4df7f0.jpg) Piece #3: the top. I want to love it, but I need a jean jacket that fits, or something to layer over it, because I think by itself the stripes are kind of a lot? Especially because it's very fitted and has the higher neckline again. ![](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171005/86c7b80d2bcea04aa4d5ce222a003134.jpg) Piece #4: the top. I think this is a keeper - I like the fabric, neckline, and color. I think this will actually fit better once I have more of a bump. ![](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171005/00982f8e848a11c0f87fecf3f98b92c6.jpg) Piece #5: the cardigan. Definitely keeping! Sooo cozy and one of my favorite colors. Plus I can wear it when I'm not pregnant. If it weren't 90 today, I would be wearing it with the outfit I already had on (in the pic, haha) ![](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171005/334414a199302589dd5517aeee781c23.jpg) So...what should I keep/send back? 😬

katietopaz i love all of those tops! i am partial to stripes for sure, but i see what you mean about that navy(green?) and white top. it's pretty bold. i would for sure keep the second stripe top and the cardigan. i would probably keep that flower top too, sometimes it's nice to have something you wouldnt normally choose just to change it up a bit. i think it looks great! eta: thanks for sharing - i am now more tempted to try it out for myself!

katietopaz, I like the cut & style of the striped top, but not how thick the stripes themselves are. I'd definitely keep the other two tops & the cardigan, though.

I like #4 and #5! The rest are fine, but not that special - I wouldn't keep them, myself.

katietopaz I'm actually in love with #3. It looks amazing on you. I'd keep 3-5 because hard no on the floral (they're too much for my eyes -- I definitely need more simple designs) and you're already sending back the jeans. Make sure to give your stylist feedback so that they can tailor the next box to your preferences better!!

katietopaz, I would keep 3-5. I love the stripe top! I'm not a fan of floral prints, so I'm a little biased against it.

katietopaz how are the price points? I love the idea of stitch fix but the items my friends have gotten are a little pricy IMO.

I really like the flower too and the cardigan. I usually love striped tops but I'm not huge on that neckline.

I like all the tops and the cardigan especially. So many maternity tops I find are solid and pretty plain, so I’d for sure keep the floral top if you think you’ll wear it. You could layer with a cardigan to tone it down a bit.

I like them all but the striped shirt. If you think the floral top is too much and won't really wear it then I would send it back but I really like it.

Thanks for the input and indulging my AW ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Glad to hear I wasn't totally off-base with the cardigan and the darker striped top. I'm still on the fence about the floral and the olive green/white striped top, but I'm glad to hear that at least they shouldn't be off the table completely. The price points are a tad on the high side for me if they aren't something I love, but maybe I'll ask for DH's thoughts, too. I will say that the stylist was not at all off-base based on my Pinterest board, so that was a good suggestion! I'll give detailed feedback on the pieces I don't keep. Leaf 🌱 You can set your preferred price points for each item (top, bottoms, dresses, etc). While they have an under $50 range, from what I read most of their non-accessory items are above that. I said $50-100 on most pieces, and the stylist definitely stayed within that. Each of the tops (even the cardi) is right around $50. The jeans are $88. ETA: These price points are a bit high for me in general, but I was treating this as a splurge. I could see maybe doing one or two more boxes as a birthday and/or Christmas gift, but I couldn't afford to do it regularly.

katietopaz if you call/email StitchFix, they may be able to send you a size smaller jeans that would fit better - if you like them and the size is the only reason why you aren't keeping them. I personally like them all! I think the floral is super cute - and you can wear a Cardi over it to cut the patter down some. A jean jacket would be cute over that top, and the stripe top, too. So I dunno. If they can send you a smaller pair of jeans, that fit, I'd be tempted to keep it all. If not, then I would keep the stripes over the floral, and keep the cardi, dark top, stripe top and send the floral/jeans back!

katietopaz, first of all, you are adorable ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) . I love all of those. It is making me want to do stitch fix. You seem to be similar size and shape as me and you look great in all of those.

yianna It's super tempting to exchange the jeans because the fabric is so comfy and I love the wash, but I think they may run long - I'm stepping on a good three inches of fabric at the bottom. Which is weirdly a common problem I have with maternity jeans, especially bootcut, and I'm 5'7". They're also $88, which for jeans that don't fit like a dream, is too much for me to justify sweetc129 Aww, thank you! And I totally recommend trying it, it was fun! When you do your style profile, you fill out detailed info about what sizes you wear, and I made sure to note common problem areas for me (ex. since I'm busty and curvy, often tops run a little on the short side for my preference). There's also a place for you to upload a picture of yourself. I'm not sure what their maternity sizes go up to, but all of the tops I was wearing were an XL and seemed TTS.

We leave for San Francisco tomorrow and I really don't even want to go. I felt good last weekend but the past few days I've felt pretty awful again.
I feel like I'm either going to exhaust myself and feel even worse or not do anything while we're there.

cornpop I hope you're feeling better tomorrow. Take it easy in SF - hopefully you can do a laid-back style trip? My 2 year-old just discovered a new show clicking around Amazonia Video on the iPad. I've never heard of it, it's literally called The Stinky and Dirty Show. It's a cartoon with a garbage truck named Stinky and a dozer named Dirty, and it's so perfectly my DS that I'm cracking up he managed to discover it.
