Stitch Fix: A Review


I'm sure quite a few people have heard of Stitch Fix by now. I have done other reviews of the service here and here. Basically it is an online shopping service. You fill out their survey and they send you a box of clothes and accessories to try out. You keep what you like and send back what you don't. 

This is what I received in my latest box. 

This purple shirt was pretty, I liked how it was longer style. I didn't keep this one though. 


Bottoms are are new thing for Stitch Fix since my last box. This makes me super happy. I really liked this skirt but it was just too tight for my Momma hips. I would have kept it if the fit was better. 


This sweater was really pretty. It was light weight and I really liked the elbow details. It was just a little too short for my liking. 



I love, love, loved this black top. The hanger doesn't really do it justice. It is long and flowy and I was able to pair it with leggings the first time I wore it. It is a good basic. I kept this obviously. : )


This was a leather and chain wrap bracelet. I liked it as well but I already have a white leather wrap bracelet. So this went back as well. 


I feel like the more fixes I get the better suited for me they are. I would have liked to see a couple more statement pieces sent my way. These were all pretty basic, solid styles.

Stitchfix Review #2


I got my second fix from StitchFix a couple days ago. I love wondering what they are going to send me. 
The box came in the midst of everything going on but I was able to find time to open it and check out everything. 

This box was sorta a miss for me. I only kept one thing and the others just weren't anything I absolutely loved. 


First thing I pulled out was this cardigan. I hated it. It looks like a blanket and was shapeless. No thank you! I do love cardis and would like to get one I love. This went back.


This top was pretty, but I didn't really like how high it came up around the neck and it wasn't as long as I would have liked. This went back too. 


I really wanted to like this tank. It was sheer and had a pretty pattern, but when I tried it on it showed way to much of the tank underneath. The arm holes were just too big. This went back as well. 


I really did like this dress. I love things I can wear with leggings or tights underneath. I really thought this was going to be a keeper but it was a jersey fabric and just a little too clingy to parts I don't want things to be clingy too. : ) I loved the color, and it would have helped add color to my wardrobe, but I passed on this one as well. 


These were the only thing I kept. I was concerned that they wouldn't fit, but they fit fine on my middle finger. The pic is not that great but they are a coral/red color with gold. They are made to look like bamboo and I really love them! 


I think I will definitely give StitchFix another try in a couple of months. They have good customer service and seem to really try to get it right.

StitchFix


I recently saw someone blog about StitchFix on another blog. I don't remember which one as it wasn't one I follow on my reader. Basically StitchFix is a clothing delivery service. When you sign up you fill out a pretty extensive survey on your clothing size and style and they will send you 5 pieces of clothing accessories for you to try on in the privacy of your home. You then decide what if anything you want to keep and then send back the rest.

 I really enjoy shopping but sometimes I just can't get away with 2 little terrors and wouldn't be able to enjoy shopping if I did. This service eliminated that step and I was able to try the clothes on in the comfort of my own bedroom. I had also been wanting to try one of the delivery services, they have them for lots of things (makeup, baby items, etc.) You can choose how often you want to receive this. You don't have to commit to a monthly delivery or anything like that. This one was perfect for me. I also sorta like the surprise of what you may get. 

You pay a $20 styling fee but that goes toward anything you purchase. There was also a little note in the box that you got 25% off if you purchased all 5 items. 

The box arrived! 



The envelope included a list of everything with prices 


First item was this pretty peachy/pink dress with small polka dots and a cute fringe detail. It was a keeper. I liked the way it fit.



Next was this cardigan. It was cute but a little snug in the arms. I already have a few basic colored cardis so I skipped this.



Item 3 was this chiffon shirt. I was cute on, but I wasn't a fan of where the waist tie hit on my belly.


Item 4 I really liked, but it was a little too baggy and was loose in the arm holes.


The last item was this cute necklace. I kept this as well. It is gold chains that are half coated in red. Very cute. 


So I kept two out of the five items. I think they got my style pretty right on. I probably won't use the service monthly but every now and then I would. I also feel like you can find better deals and sales by shopping in store. I set it at the lowest price point and some of the stuff was a little high. I feel like the products were all good quality, etc.
