But first, as a quick recap this is how Stitch Fix works:
Stitch Fix is a subscription service that allows you to try on clothes in your own home that were chosen for you by a personal stylist. There is a styling fee of $20 for each shipment but if you choose to keep any of the items in your Fix, that $20 will be applied toward the cost of the clothing that you keep. Additionally, if you keep all five articles that are sent to you, you will also receive a 25% discount on the total cost.
When you sign up for Stitch Fix, you will fill out a very detailed style profile which will give your stylist an idea of the types of clothing you like as well as your sizes/measurements. You can also send your stylist a link to your Pinterest board where you can show them articles of clothing and styles that you like the most.
Prices vary for each article. I have mine set to the lowest cost possible which ranges about 40-50$ for shirts and 50-70$ for pants/dresses. This is not normally what I would ever pay for a single shirt and rarely what I would pay for a dress, however, these clothes are better quality than what I would buy at Old Navy or Target and I am hoping that I can begin ridding my closet of inexpensive pieces that I'm not totally crazy about to more quality pieces that I love.
Also, it's so fun to get your box in the mail each month full of surprises to try on. The styling fee cost is totally worth it for me to not have to drag my kids with me into a mall and maneuver a stroller into the dressing rooms.
Shipping is free and free returns too. You simply "check out" on the Stitch Fix website after you try everything on and whatever you choose not to keep, you send back in the postage paid envelope that comes in your box within three days. Convenient!!
Before I start my review, I just want to clarify that I am not being paid by Stich Fix. I am simply writing to share my thoughts on this fun service. However, if you sign up for Stitch Fix by clicking my referral link, I will receive a small amount of credit toward future boxes I receive.
Here's the note I received this time. Notice that I had a different stylist than I had in the month of July. I hope this does not continue to be a trend with Stitch Fix. I love the service but I was hoping that I would have a stylist who would get to know my styling preferences by working with me multiple times. Don't get me wrong, Kelly, you did a great job. Just stick with me here, ok? *hint, hint*
First up I received this Egret Embroidery Detail Tank by Skies are Blue ($54)
I was excited to see this one in my box and thought for sure I would love it but, no. I loved the embroidery and the super soft flowy material but the shape of it made me feel frumpy and WIDE. It was so boxy. No thanks. Sent back.
Next was this Bessie Crochet Overlay Stripe Tank by Mystree ($58) To my stylists defense, I posted this one on my Pinterest board but when I put it on? No way. Too many stripes, too clingy around my belly. Cute on the hanger but on me? Not so much. Sent back.
Up next are the following two items, Tony Cotton Cargo Skinny Pants by Sanctuary ($58) and a Meryl Tulip Print Sleeveless Blouse by 41Hawthorn ($64)
I actually loved both of these items. The pants fit perfectly but since they were white as snow I knew the sticky little hands of my two kids would have them stained up in no time. Sadly, they were sent back. The blouse was so cute and just my style. I had a similar one posted on my Pinterest board. Had it not been "dry clean only" I would have definitely kept it.
Finally, there's THIS. I LOVED this one. It's an Angelina Colorblock Chevron Print Maxi Dress by Gilli ($74)
I loved everything about this one. The length was perfect and the colors will allow it to be a fall transitional piece with a jacket or sweater. Also, this was made in the USA.
So, I only kept one item out of this Fix. It was $74 but after my $20 styling fee, I paid $54.
Stay tuned for my September review. In the meantime, check out my first review if you haven't already.
