Stitch Fix Love

I haven't blogged in almost a year.  A year.  Good grief, it's no wonder my friends give up on me!  Most of the time I really don't think I've got anything important to say.  But I have thoroughly enjoyed reading blog posts on Stitch Fix reviews and thought maybe I'd share mine.

What is Stitch Fix?  It's a monthly service that sends you five articles of clothing which you can try on and mull over in the privacy of your own home.  You return what you don't want, even if that means all of it.  There is a styling fee of $20 each time but it works as a credit toward your purchase. If you keep everything, you get 25% off everything.  There is a style survey that you fill out to give the stylists an idea of what you like and you can also communicate with them by creating a pinterest board and leaving comments.  You can also request certain types of clothing, say for vacation or a night out.  I'm truly addicted!  They send me things that I wouldn't pull off the rack but end up looking great.  It pushes me out of my comfort zone.  So here is my review of my seventh fix. Sorry for the poor quality on the pics.  I guess I'm going to have to break out the good camera.

Stitch Fix #7

The last couple of fixes were a little frustrating to me.  A lot of the popular blouses are big and shapeless and do absolutely nothing for me.  I had left feedback on the individual items when I was returning them saying that I would prefer more fitted but I wasn't seeing a huge change in the items I was getting.  I finally figured out (through looking at blog reviews) that I wasn't being specific enough in my communication.  So I left a note for my stylist explaining that I was not curvy and had no waist, was relatively large breasted for my weight/size/height and that I needed clothes that were more fitted.  I also drastically expanded my pinterest board and tried to write comments about what I liked about the clothes pictured.  It worked! My seventh fix was perfect!!

 

First out of the box was this black Martina Slub Knit open cardigan by Pixley  ($54)

I love the style of this cardigan with the rounded bottom hem.  It's also extremely soft and comfy.  This has the potential to be a go to favorite. The price gave me pause because I think you could probably find something similar for cheaper but with the 25% off discount for keeping the entire box, it was worth it.  Kept.

 

 

 

 

 

I adore this Queensland Dolman Jersey top by Hawthorn ($48).  I had seen this top on other stitch fix reviews and knew that it came in a few different colors.  I was really excited to receive this purple.  I love the dolman sleeves and the fact that it hides the tummy quite well but is still fitted at the bottom.  It is very flattering!  Kept

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Next up was the Cassy Cutout Detail sweater from Olive & Oak ($58).  I had reservations about the cut outs when I first pulled it out of the box.  After trying it on though, I fell in love with it.  The length of the sweater is perfect for me.  Being so short, I have a lot of trouble with length.  I don't like the price, but again with the 25% off, it's doable. 

 

I like it better paired with the jeans.  Kept

 

 

 

The Leighton Boat Neck knit shirt by Tart is incredibly comfy ($58).  Again, the price is high for me but I really liked how it fit.  It's a thin thermal-like material and is very different than anything else I own.  It makes a great casual outfit with jeans.  Kept

 

 

 

 

I got really excited when I pulled this out of the box.  I don't get the opportunity to wear dresses very often but I love them.  The Ernesto Striped Fitted dress by Hawthorn is so stinking cute and fit great!($78)  I actually don't mind the price on this.  It manages to be form fitting without the super tight backside that so many dresses have. The arms are just a little big but fortunately I know how to fix that!  Kept!

 

This was probably the best overall box I've gotten, although I've kept quite a few other items from other boxes that have become favorites and this is not the first box where I've kept everything.  I really don't like to clothes shop and I'm not very adventurous so Stitch Fix is great for me.  I also tend to buy a lot of the same color so it's forced me to expand my range.  It's very exciting to open the box to see what the stylist has chosen for me. 

Overall, the prices are more than I would normally pay (I'm cheap for the most part), but I've learned that if I find something I really like and that fits well, it's worth a few extra dollars.

I encourage you to try stitch fix, even if it's just once (although they obviously get to know your style better after awhile).   If you decide to try it, use my link and I'll get a small credit.  Thanks! https://www.stitchfix.com/referral/3978434
