Stitch Fix #4

I'm back with another Stitch Fix review.  I cannot get enough of this company.  They hit a home run on my fix this month.  It would have been a grand slam if the prices had been lower, instead it was just a solo walk off.  (can you tell there's a ball game on while I write this?)  Seriously, if the prices were better, I might have kept every single piece!

As promised, I tried to take better photos this month.  I was fighting the fading light and I am far from a model but they are much better than the iPhone garbage I shared last time!


Item #1: Under Skies Leyle Mixed Print Cotton Mini Skirt

{Different, great fit, pattern that doesn't make me nauseous, can be dressed up or dressed down.  I loved it, just couldn't justify the price tag for the number of times I would honestly wear it.  RETURN}

Item #2: Under Skies Gabrielle Ikat Print Fit & Flare Dress

{I LOVE everything about this!  I knew instantly that I was going to keep it, baring some major fit issue, I knew it was mine. KEEP}

(worst model pose ever, but I tried)

Item #3: 41Hawthorn Abramo Abstract Chevron Mixed Material Tunic

{I've been hunting for a good tunic (or 5) for a couple of months years now and I love this one.  I didn't think I would, but I did.  Again, the price tag was the problem.  If only money weren't an issue.  RETURN}

Item #4:  Sanctuary Ryder Embroidery Detail Button-Front Tank

{When I saw this in the box, I immediately feel in love, then I put it on.  It's completely see through.  It's hard to tell in this photo, but it is, trust me.  I tried it with a black tank underneath (see second photo) and I liked it.  I thought I was going to keep it but then...any guesses?...you got it, the price tag!  $78 for a see through WHITE tank that I will probably ruin the 1st time I wear it?  No thank you!  RETURN}

Item #5: Kensie Ginny Knit-Back Abstract Print Tank

{This was super soft and comfy.  I didn't completely love the print but it was so versatile that I definitely would have kept it to complete my box and get the 25% discount but even with that savings, the prices were just unacceptable.  RETURN}

Going back through these photos, I really, really wish I had the funds to keep all of these pieces.  I'm going to be good though and stick to my plan to keep one piece each fix.  If you had to keep just one, which would you choose?

I think my least favorite thing about Stitch Fix is that once you send something back, there are no take-backs, no oops I changed my mind, no second chances.  Once I send these back, I'll never see them again.  I think they should have an online stock sale once a quarter or so, so you can have that second chance at an item you returned in your fix.  For now I'll just keep reminding myself that my marriage is more important than any piece of clothing and the argument that would ensue if I kept all of these just isn't worth it.

Stitch Fix #3

Last week, the morning before I left for my trip back to Cincinnati, I received an email alerting me that my Stitch Fix had been delivered.  I wasn't expecting it until the following day when I'd be on the other side of America, and I didn't have time to stop home after work so I did the only logical thing, I ran home on my lunch break.  Because I couldn't possibly wait until I returned home from my trip, that would be absurd.  I didn't even get my door unlocked before I had the box open.  When I saw that they had found my beloved jeans, I practically shimmied out of my skirt right there on our porch.

If you live under a rock have no idea what I'm talking about, here's the gist:

1. Go to StitchFix.com and create your style profile by answering some questions about your wardrobe preferences. 

2. Schedule a fix!  This can be as frequent (or infrequent) as you would like,  I get mine once a month.

3. Your fix arrives and you try everything on in the comfort of your own home with clothes you already have in your closet.

4. You are charged $20 styling fee for each fix, however, if you keep anything from your box, that $20 is automatically applied to your purchase.

5. You have 3 days to mail anything you don’t want back to Stitch Fix in a pre-paid shipping envelope. If you keep all 5 items from your fix, you get a 25% discount.

This is what my fix included this month (I apologize in advance for the crappy photos in my messy bedroom, I literally had like 5 minutes to try everything on and get my butt back to work.  I promise to give my fix proper attention next month and take some decent photos):

Item #1:  Under Skies, Breena Floral Print Sleeveless Blouse {Adorable, fit great, and it's outside my comfort zone/something I would never have picked out at the store, exactly what I look for in my box each month.  KEEP}

Item #2: Just Black, Adora Skinny Jean  {I had these in my 1st fix, fell in love with them, kept them, and then they were stolen after I'd only worn them once!  I was so bummed.  I literally squealed with delight when I saw them again in this fix!  This company is great at listening to your feedback and they truly try to give you exactly what you ask for.  I've been more than blown away by the customer service at Stitch Fix!   KEEP}

Item #3: Le Sample, Kahlo Embroidered Racerback Tank {Meh.  It fit great, had an interesting shape/cut (it's hard to tell in this photo but it's longer on the sides and shorter in the front/back), and was super comfy but I really didn't like the color combo...see the close up photo below.  RETURN}

I'm sorry, I just can't get behind the olive/neon combo.  If the stripes were black or grey, I might have kept it.

Item #4:  41Hawthorn, Harriet Aztec Print Fit and Flare Dress  {When I saw this in the box, I thought it was going to be a keep but the fit was just ok.  It's cute but nothing special.  RETURN}

Item #5:  Zad, Andover Enamel Floral Bib Necklace {I'm not a fan of pastel's or flower shaped jewelry so this was a no brainer for me. RETURN}

Like I said above.  I have been blown away by this company.  They read my blog posts (HI!) and appropriately stalk the Pinterest page I linked in my profile where I pin all the clothes I'd like to have in my closet to gather intel about me and my style and I can see the results in each fix.  If you haven't joined this rapidly growing company, I highly recommend you do so (and I'd appreciate it if you use the link I provided in this post so I will earn a referral credit!),
