StitchFix

It’s been about 6 weeks since my last Stitch Fix.

For those just checking in, with Stitch Fix you pay a personal stylist $20 to send you 5 hand-picked items.  You then have 3 days to decide which to keep, if any. If you do keep any, your $20 styling fee goes towards your purchase. 

A paid return envelope makes it super easy to return any items but you do lose your $20 if you choose to send it all back.

I felt like this was a great fix but unfortunately when I splurged on the jeans and necklace on Fix #5, I used up all my credits.  We’ll have to be really blown away by these to keep them!

 

Red Printed Flutter Blouse

Well, I just love this shirt.  There’s not really anything I don’t like about it and I can definitely see it in heavy rotation in my shirt-shorts-sandals summer uniform. My only concern is the length.  Is it long enough?

 

Lace Button Up Tank/Bead Necklace

This white lace shirt was pretty, it fit perfectly but there just wasn’t a wow factor there for me.

I popped on the necklace from the fix.  It’s pretty but I don’t think that I’d wear the style or color. 

 

Embroidered Pink Cardigan

 

I almost didn’t even try on this cardigan.  It seemed too cutesy for my taste, it’s small and I’m not a huge fan of the color combination or print.  It did look a ton better on but this definitely didn’t wow me either.

 

Green Pin-Tuck Blouse

 

If you know me, you know I love green.  I love the color, the necklace, the sleeves, the length—it’s a winner for me.

 

The green and red blouses are definite contenders as keepers but the price tag at $45 a piece is holding me back.  Since I’ve already paid my styling fee, I will probably keep at least one since I like them so much. 

You guys totally changed my mind on my last fix and you guys were RIGHT.  I wear both the necklace and jeans all the time.  So, should I keep both blouses?  If I pick only one, which should it be?

My latest fix from Stitch Fix came Thursday while it’s still SO exciting to get, I admit my expectations were a tad lower going in this time. 

By the last fix, I was disappointed that I hadn’t yet hit the Stitch Fix jackpot and wanted to keep all five items.  But I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised by this fix. 

This is first fix where I legitimately could see see all of these items in my closet.  The color and style were spot on and it’s buoyed my hopes for future fixes.

Let’s get to it!

 

3/4 Sleeve Blouse

First up was this red 3/4 sleeve blouse.  The color is even more gorgeous in person.  I was instantly drawn to this first.

The style and color are just perfect but the problem is I got completely lost in it.  It’s even more prominent straight on but basically it looks super boxy.  I’d belt it but I look horrible in belts.  I’ve had so many people try to say I should do belts but no.  Belted shirts just do not work on me. 

I usually love blouses like this and even have one or two similar in style but I don’t know, something just isn’t working.

 

Pink Pointelle Shirt

Next up is this pink pointelle shirt.  It has this great tribal pattern and is perfect for spring.  I like the style and the fit is great. 

But listen up, it is already summer here in the Carolinas and I just wouldn’t get any use out of this for months.  Certainly a contender but maybe not what I’m looking to spend my money on right now.

 

Bubble Necklace

I admit I was disappointed at first to see a jewelry box in my fix as I’m more the $5- jewelry-at-Forever 21 kind of girl but I have to admit, this bubble necklace is just gorgeous.  I suppose it is NOT gorgeous with this shirt but the jewels are so pretty in person and the color would be really versatile.  I like this a lot even if it is more than I would spend. And oh look, my earring is about to fall out.

 

Striped Maxi

Stripes and maxis.  Sigh.  I love them.  And this one with the detail at the neckline is just gorgeous.  I wish you could see the neckline better but it is REALLY cute in person.

This is one of the priciest item of the bunch so I’m going to super picky here.  First, I already have a striped maxi so that doesn’t help.  I think the horizontal lines are a bit droopy from the front and it’s not entirely flattering but I think that might just be this picture too.  We didn’t get any great ones from the front.

I also feel like it’s a tad short.  I wouldn’t be able to wear any heeled sandals.

 

 

But if you look at this picture you can see it has a cute racer back and I think the stripes are fine from the side.  My other issue is I feel like it might be too fitting around the middle. Scott really loves it though (imagine that) and my friend even took a look and assured me it was not too tight.

 

Skinny Jeans

 

And finally, the last item was a pair of skinny jeans.  These jeans are hard to get on but are super stretchy and comfy when you do.  The color is great and the length is perfect for flats or would work well with boots.  As far as jeans go, I think these are a winner. But again, I’m not sure if I want to drop any money on jeans at the start of summer.

 

So, the jeans and red blouse are out but I’m really considering between the other three.  I basically have enough credit to cover one of them.  Is the maxi or necklace worth the cost or should I pick up the pink shirt and just wait to wear it?

Stitch Fix #4

 

Yeehaw!  I still LOVE to get my fixes.  Seriously, it makes my day to see that cardboard box with the mint green tape on my porch.  Easily pleased?  Perhaps.

My latest Stitch Fix contained several contenders but I ended up keeping the shirt featured in the image above. 

You probably know I love black and white, I love print, I love birds, I love that it’s not too tight, I love the v-neck, I love the cropped sleeves.  Basically, that shirt was perfect for me.

Here are the other 4 items I sent back:

A few comments about the other items:

• The striped shirt was cute.  I wish you could see the details in the shoulders. But, it was a little too tight in the waist and I wasn’t sure I could wear it and not feel like it was July 4th.
• The cardigan was just not my style. Older and more classic than I like. 
• The 3rd hi-lo sleeveless stop was just not my colors and it had a tie in the front I wasn’t fond of.
• The coral color was gorgeous but a tad longer than I liked and it was silk so a little too high maintenance.

 

If you love fashion or even if it’s a struggle—especially if it’s a struggle–the Ultimate eBook bundle includes several fashion-related books.  I hope if you bought the bundle you’re checking out all these awesome books.  Here are a couple:

Frumps to Pumps by Sarah Mae @ SaraMae.com ($4.99)

Sarah Mae gives you the reason to get dressed every day and helps you with baby steps.

The No Brainer Wardrobe by Hayley @ The No Brainer Wardrobe ($7.99)

Hayley gives you practical tools to make getting dressed easy.  My favorite part is where she carries her iPhone into a thrift store to put together an outfit from an inspirational outfit on Pinterest.  That is so far beyond my abilities but I’m excited to try.

 

So, two things: sign up for Stitch Fix if you want to give it a whirl and be sure to buy the eBook bundle—only available for 2 more days!  Also, you DID share about the bundle even if you aren’t going to buy it and entered to win the Kindle Fire, right??

 

Yahoo!  I still LOVE to get my email saying a new fix from Stitch Fix is on the way.

I found my 3rd fix on my porch Friday. I’ll be honest–I had some credit (THANK YOU, FRIENDS) and I really hoped I could take advantage of the 25% deal if you keep all 5 pieces.  I’m all about free clothes, friends!  But alas, it was not meant to be.

 

Item #1

I love the print of this dress and the bright, bold pattern.  It’s light and airy and would be great for the summer.  If I could pull it off (and usually I can’t), I think it’d be great with a belt.

Here’s my possible issue (besides the fact I desperately need a tan): I think it’s too short.  I think with some flats, I might feel a bit better.

The style card also suggests wearing it with leggings and I definitely can do that in the Spring and Fall, but then I don’t know if I’m a big fan of that. 

Maybe I just need to play dress-up with it a little more before I send it back.

 

Item #2

This is just a “no” all the way around for me.  The top didn’t fit right, the waist line isn’t flattering, the pockets make it bulky and I don’t like that high-low thing going on. 

 

Items #3 and #4 

I almost didn’t post these pictures.  Both the ankle pants and shirt were in my fix and WOW.SERS.  Those pants were TIGHT.  It reminded me of mozzarella cheese in casing.  Just unroll me and make some pizza.  Yikes.  

I do have to make note that I’d love to try these pants in a different size.  I know I’d wear them all the time if they fit.

The collared shirt is cute.  I like the coverage in the back and I think it’d be cute with my jean jacket.  The style card also has it tucked in a nude colored skirt which would be great for work.  I like the print up close but I’m not loving it far away. This is a definitely possibility though.

 

 

Item #5

 

I like the color of this mint sweater.  If I remember correctly, I think I asked for something mint.  However, I feel like I’m wearing something out of Emma’s closet.  You can see the fit is pretty small and you can’t see the glittery threads.  In some ways, it felt juvenile and in others, I felt like it aged me.  Scott likes it though so what do I know?

 

I think the sleeveless top is going to win out as much as I like the idea of the first one.

 

But wait!  There’s more!

 

My friend JoAnn got her first fix this week and came over one day at lunch for me to help her decide what to keep.  I snapped some pictures and thought I’d share.  Sorry about the bright! sun!  It was noon.

 

Let’s go clockwise starting in the middle.

Middle: The color and neckline on the coral dress is fabulous but we both wished it had come as a top instead of a dress.

Top right: I liked the black and white sweater but JoAnn felt it dated her and she let it go back.

Bottom right: The print is fun on the black and white dress but the pleats were a no-go.

Bottom left: The floral sleeveless top was super cute but the bust was just too tight.

Top left: I wish I had gotten a better picture of the black cowl shirt on the top left.  I think my camera didn’t take a picture from the front like I thought. It looked really, really great and this is the item she kept. 

 

Even though it doesn’t seem like we had many wins, the process is still super fun.

I was SO anxious to get this second fix from Stitch Fix.  The first one was incredibly fun but I didn’t end up keeping any of the pieces.  I couldn’t pull the trigger on the one dress I loved because of the price.

I heard your fixes get better as you go and with a little extra credit thanks to some of you that used my referral link, I had high hopes. Thankfully, this second fix didn’t disappoint.

 

Item #1: Pop of Color Scarf

You can’t see it well but this scarf had streaks of orange in it as well.  I loved the scarf but I *just* bought a black and white printed scarf that same day so I’ve opted out on this one. 

Item #2: Striped Sweater

{The jeans and shoes don’t necessarily go, sorry.} Oh man, do they know the way to my heart—stripes!  I love everything about this sweater and it’s a keeper!

Item #3:  Dolman Sweater

I loved, loved the fit of this sweater and overall style but the color was just off for me.  If this had come in a different color, I would keep it.  I don’t know, looking at it now, I’m thinking it could be super cute with some white capris or shorts for the spring.  What do you think?

Item #4: Sweetheart Dress

I love everything about this dress.  It’s flowy and girly and bright and printed.  It’s going to be perfect for spring with a jean jacket and great by itself in the summer.  I’m a little concerned about the fit though, especially in the sides.  Here it is with the jacket.  What do you think?

 

Item #5: Owl Dress

I want to love this dress so much.  I love owls, I love the style, I love the fit but I’m just not a huge fan of the color and print.

So, better than the first, yes?  I’m telling you, just getting the box and seeing what they picked out is 90% of the fun.  I hardly care if I actually keep any of the pieces but I’m glad I found at least one this time!

I’d love for you to try it out at least once and use my referral link…for every person that signs up, you get a $25 credit to use on your next purchase!
