Stitch Fix Review

 I have heard a lot about this mail order company so decided to give them a try. You pay a $20 fee to have them pick out the items for you. You answer a lot of questions to make sure that they give you a proper fit.
 This is how the items come in the mail and they even send you a prepaid return envelope to return items you don't like.
 My box came with five items for the winter.
 The first item I tried on was this hoody. It is loose and comfortable. I have already worn it twice. It is also light weight. I paired this with a pair of fleeced work out pants.
 This top was the next item I received. I have to wear a cami under it because it is a little low cut for my taste. It is 3/4 sleeve  and comfortable. I paired it the with jeans shown below. It is also loose fitting. I don't like my clothes to cling to my body.
 The jeans fit right but are a little long. That isn't their fault. I am short and finding a pair of jeans to fit in length is hard. I have a pair of gray booties that I wear with them to help with the length so I don't have to roll them up.
 This hooded cardigan is light weight and comfortable. I just have with me for a light throw.
The one picture I just realized I didn't add is the turtle neck long sleeve shirt. It is the shortest of all the shirts that I received but it is okay. I really don't like turtlenecks but I decided to keep it just in case we have a really cold day.
The box came with an a card on how to wear each outfit. I decided to keep all the items because you were given a discount and they $20 fee was also taken off the price of the items. I didn't have a problem with any of the clothes not fitting but the items were a bit out of my price range to continue using them. I hope this review helps you with deciding on an online clothing distribution company.
Until next time have a great day.

Christmas 2018

 Christmas 2018 was a quite day for the Payne household. This is our tree before the gifts not wrapped are put underneath it. Kismet loves the tree and I have to replace ornaments every now and then.
 The unwrapped gifts are now under the tree. We didn't have the stockings put up this year so I just put the stocking stuffers into a gift bag. Kismet is investigating the gifts.
 Here is a better view.
 This is our traditional breakfast for Christmas morning.
 Aryan with his gifts.

 Mike with his gifts.
 This is my stack of gifts.
 Kismet was really into the wrapping.
 Here she is again. She was quite funny.
 Here is Mike opening his git from Tara and John. I knew what she got so I wanted to get him while he opened it.
 Tara and Mike are always doing funny things to each other. She gave him a bottle that had nothing in it because he is always telling the kids that he doesn't want anything for Christmas.
These are the gifts that I received minus one book that didn't make it into the picture.
Also Mike and I bought ourselves some really good knifes for our together gift that is also missing from the pictures.
It was a nice day and the kids enjoyed all of their gifts.
I hope everyone else had a really good day.
Until next time have a great day.

Tara's Wedding

 Right after I went to Ohio for H's baptism I flew to Connecticut for Tara's wedding. I don't have a lot of pictures yet I still need to order some from the photographer but I do have a few that I thought you might like to see. This one is of the three girls. Tara let her bridesmaid pick their own dresses as long as they were the right color.
 Tara and John at the fountain.
Sorry about my Dad's hand in this one. John is waiting with his groomsmen with the pastor. It was a great day for a wedding. Tara put a lot of work into this day. She made a lot of the center pieces and the boutonnieres that the guys wore. She also made her own bouquet. It was different and made very well. We all had a blast and enjoyed ourselves very much. One of my granddaughters said she wanted a wedding like this minus the wine. All of the family was there for her big day.
