Stitch Fix #19 - February 2017

I decided to order a Fix for my birthday this year.  Stitch Fix was running a Valentine's special, and all the spreading the love of Stitch Fix made me want my own!

Here's a quick rundown of the service:

Stitch Fix is a service that will send you five articles of clothing (or purses, scarves, jewelry, and now shoes) picked by a stylist at whatever interval you choose based on a style profile you fill out about yourself.  You pay a $20 styling fee for each box, but that money goes toward anything you keep.  So as long as at least one item works for you, there's nothing to lose.  And if you keep all five items, you get a 25% discount.

You don't have to sign up for a certain time period between fixes.  You could try it one time and never get another fix or get another one 2 years later!  There's no cost commitment until you schedule a fix.  When the box ships, that's when you are charged the $20 styling fee.

You can create a Pinterest board dedicated to your style and put the link in your style profile so that your stylist can see what items you like and why.  I love when I receive something I actually pinned or something very similar to a pin on my board!

I asked for my favorite and longest running stylist Anne and told her to surprise me for my birthday.  I also said that inexpensive would be a plus!

Here's what I received in my 19th box:

(1) Urban Expressions Bianca Buckle-Detail Satchel $68

This bag looks very similar to the Urban Expressions Elisha Satchel from Fix #14.  I do like the neutral color and the cross body option, but I don't need two bags that are so similar.  I prefer my everyday purse a little smaller and a lot less expensive!  This bag is actually $4 more than the one I purchased!  Since I was wearing my Loveappella Keetin Top from Fix #16, I just left it on for the photos.














(2) Level 99 Primrose Skinny Jean $98

I love the dark green color of these pants.  They feel so good on too!  I just feel that they are a little too tight for my thighs.  I'm currently trying to lose weight, but I'm not sure I want to spend this much on a pair of jeans that I don't love the way I look in.  I tried them on with the 2 tops I received in this fix.  I'm still undecided on this one.

(3) 41Hawthorn Carla Crohet Detail Blouse $58

At first, I did not like the half sleeves on this shirt.  The top is very pretty, but I am not sure about the style.  I could go either way on this one.  It's a nice spring color and a light fabric.  What do you think?

(4) 41Hawthorn Tova Dress $64

I love the colors of this dress but am not a fan of the neckline.  It's v-neck with buttons and a partial collar.  The waistline is not my favorite either, but it does not look that bad on me.  I wore it with my Toms Crochet Flats from Fix #15.  This is one of those boxes that I feel like I need feedback.  What are your thoughts?

(5) Pixley Francisco Mixed Material Top $54

When I first pulled everything out of the box, this top was my favorite.  I love the back with the contrasting material and cut little cutout!  The sleeves on this top are also a little strange, but I think this one will be a keeper.  I tried it on with the Dear John Shorts from Fix #13.

 Here's a shot of the back:

So now I have until tomorrow to decide.  I get three business days to decide what to keep and what to send back.  I fill out a checkout survey to give specific feedback on each item so that my next fix can be even better.  Then I put the rejects in a prepaid envelope and drop it off at the post office.

Stitch Fix #18 - December 2016

I ordered a December delivery because Stitch Fix was having a contest.  Of course I didn't win, but I can always come up with more clothing requests.  My fix arrived a week early and was supposed to be due back on December 24th.  I requested an extension because I had planned a certain delivery date for a reason.  Here's the usual quick rundown about the service:

Stitch Fix is a service that will send you five articles of clothing (or purses, scarves, jewelry, and now shoes) picked by a stylist at whatever interval you choose based on a style profile you fill out about yourself.  You pay a $20 styling fee for each box, but that money goes toward anything you keep.  So as long as at least one item works for you, there's nothing to lose.  And if you keep all five items, you get a 25% discount.

You can create a Pinterest board dedicated to your style and put the link in your style profile so that your stylist can see what items you like and why.  I love when I receive something I actually pinned or something very similar to a pin on my board!

Here was my note to my stylist for Fix #18:

 Same stylist (Anne) please! Would like some pants that have a boot cut for my work shoes. Also, I'm going to New York in January, so I would like some warm and cozy clothes!

Anne was unavailable this month, but here is what Amy sent me:

(1) Liverpool Harper Bootcut Pant - $88

 
I wanted pants to wear with my Danskos for work, since the black pants I bought about 10 years ago are a little worn out.  It's also hard to wear my skinny pants with flats and no socks in the winter!  Here's what they look like paired with my shoes and the Market & Spruce Galapagos Dolman from Fix #17 (photo taken by my 5 year old):

I also wanted to try something dressier to see if other shoes would work with the pants.  Here they are with some black pumps and my Creative Commune Vandalia Blouse from Fix #7 :

I also sported my Zad Martin Cuff from Fix #10.  They are a tad bit long, but I think they will work.  At least I'm not stepping on them.

(2) Papermoon Kanyi Pullover Sweater - $68

I love this sweater because it is semi lightweight and not itchy.  I don't love the lack of color, but it seems long enough and fits well.  Also it covers my rear enough that I might be able to pull off leggings and boots like my stylist suggested.

(3) Skies are Blue Simeon Cargo Vest - $78

I have had a week to fall in love with this vest, but I think I need a medium just for a little extra room to button over my layers.  I was hoping to exchange and tried to check out while on MARTA today, but the site timed out on me.  Now I keep refreshing hoping to get a medium back in stock.  It is so warm and has a hood and pockets.  I still have until the end of tomorrow to hope another medium shows up.  I tried it with a top also sent in this fix as suggested.

I also tried it with my Market & Spruce Colibri Shirt from Fix #9, since I don't think I am keeping the shirt from above.

Praying for a medium to appear so that I can keep this cute vest!!

(4) Laila Jayde Busby Cowl Neck Zipper Detail Knit Top - $58

I could tell by looking at this one that I wasn't going to be a fan.  I like the deep green color, but the sleeves are too short, and the material is too thin to wear it without something underneath.

This top is definitely going back.  I couldn't get the zipper cowl to look right either.

(5) Skies are Blue Avena Split Neck Top - $54

I saw plaid and got excited, but it's a sheer material which does feel nice but is not very warm.  The sleeves seemed great on this one, but the sides slit, and when I lifted my arms over my head, you could see my belly.  No thank you.  I did try to get a picture of the split neck detail.

And here I am wearing it with my Just Black Jimmy Skinny Jeans from Fix #7:

So a mix of hits and misses on this fix.  I am obsessively checking for a medium vest and waiting to the last minute to check out even though I've already had an extension.  Any feedback from my lovely readers is also appreciated!

Now I fill out a checkout survey to give specific feedback on each item so that my next fix can be even better.  Then I put the rejects in a prepaid envelope and drop it off at the post office.

Stitch Fix #17 - November 2016

I took a little break from Stitch Fix, mainly because I was loving too many items!  I would tell myself that I was only going to keep one item and then end up liking the whole box!  So after a couple months off, I figured it was time for some new clothes!  Here's the note I sent to my stylist:

Same stylist (Anne) please! I need a top for a New Years Party that is indoor/outdoor. I also need a tunic or top that is long in the back to go with olive leggings.

I love that Anne really listens to my requests and tries to deliver.  If you have no idea what Stitch Fix is all about, here's my quick summary:

Stitch Fix is a service that will send you five articles of clothing (or purses, scarves, jewelry, and now shoes) picked by a stylist at whatever interval you choose based on a style profile you fill out about yourself.  You pay a $20 styling fee for each box, but that money goes toward anything you keep.  So as long as at least one item works for you, there's nothing to lose.  And if you keep all five items, you get a 25% discount.

You don't have to sign up for a certain time period between fixes.  You could try it one time and never get another fix or get another one 2 years later!  There's no cost commitment until you schedule a fix.  When the box ships, that's when you are charged the $20 styling fee.

You can create a Pinterest board dedicated to your style and put the link in your style profile so that your stylist can see what items you like and why.  I love when I receive something I actually pinned or something very similar to a pin on my board!

And here is what I received in my 17th shipment:

(1) Erica Taylor Karen Printed Straight Leg Pant $88

Anne suggested I pair these pants with a shirt and jacket (2 & 3) from this fix for a New Years outfit.  Here is everything put together:

I also tried pairing the pants with my RD Style Cold Shoulder Sweater from Fix #12.

I like the pants but not sure if I like them enough to keep them.  They have a comfy waistband and no zippers or pockets.

(2) Market & Spruce Galapagos Cross Bar Dolman Knit Top $54

I wasn't sure I liked the cross bar on the back of this shirt, but it has kind of grown on me.

 I tried it with my Just Black Skinny Jeans from Fix #7.  I like the purple color and the comfort of the shirt. 

My daughter wanted to join in the fun, so she jumped into the photo shoot.  At least it makes a cute pic!  I am trying hard to find a top to go with my Lularoe leggings that I bought.  The shirt has to cover my rear since that is my least favorite part to show off!  None of the pictures of the back of the dolman top were very flattering, so I'm still unsure about this top.

(3) Edyson Maisha Ponte and Faux Leather Jacket $88

My daughter is in love with this jacket.  She tried it on, told me to keep it, and wants to try it on again!  It's not something I normally would go for, but I think it actually looks good on me.  I also threw it on over a shirt from this fix (4) and my Gilli Skirt from Fix #4.

(4) 41Hawthorn Colibri Solid Tab Sleeve Blouse $48

Anne suggested I try this blouse with my leggings.  It does cover my rear, but I don't think I like the combo.

I also tried it with my Kut from the Kloth Boyfriend Jeans from Fix #14 and my Crochet Toms from Fix #15

I think I like it better with jeans than the leggings or skirt.

(5) Renee C Laverna V Neck Tunic $48

This top is gorgeous!  I thought it would be perfect with my leggings...until I tried it on.  My hips are way too big for it!!  I thought about trading it for a larger size, but I think that the top part would then be way too big.  Sadly, this one has to go back.

Overall, I'm not sure about this fix.  I think I need some advice from my readers!  Which item(s) do you think I should keep?  This fix arrived a week earlier than I scheduled too, so I have to take pics, write my blog post, and return my unwanted items all during my work week, which is hectic to begin with!

I have until Monday to choose which items to keep and which I will send back.  I fill out a checkout survey to give specific feedback on each item so that my next fix can be even better.  Then I put the rejects in a prepaid envelope and drop it off at the post office.

Stitch Fix #16 - September 2016

I cannot believe it is still 90 degrees in September!  I'm glad I didn't order a fall fix because it would be awful to take pictures outside!   We have exactly 9 days until we are in Disney World.  We have a couple of nights out while we are there, so I thought Stitch Fix would be the way to go!  Here's the note I sent to my stylist:

Same stylist (Anne) please! Going to Disney at the end of the month. Would love some lightweight dresses for a date night and my daughter's birthday at the castle!

Here's a quick rundown on how the service works:


Stitch Fix is a service that will send you five articles of clothing (or purses, scarves, jewelry, and now shoes) picked by a stylist at whatever interval you choose based on a style profile you fill out about yourself.  You pay a $20 styling fee for each box, but that money goes toward anything you keep.  So as long as at least one item works for you, there's nothing to lose.  And if you keep all five items, you get a 25% discount.

You don't have to sign up for a certain time period between fixes.  You could try it one time and never get another fix or get another one 2 years later!  There's no cost commitment until you schedule a fix.  When the box ships, that's when you are charged the $20 styling fee.

You can create a Pinterest board dedicated to your style and put the link in your style profile so that your stylist can see what items you like and why.  I love when I receive something I actually pinned or something very similar to a pin on my board!

And here is what Anne sent in my 16th Fix:

(1) Hailey 23 Kerrigan 2fer Knit Dress $78

The top of this dress looks a lot like my maxi dress from Fix #15.  But as I first tried everything on yesterday, it was the one item that screamed keeper.  My stylist recommended a dainty necklace to wear with the dress on our date night in Disney. 

(2) Pixley Jacobsen Textured Knit Dress $68

Anne recommended this dress for my daughter's birthday dinner.  She suggested a red skinny belt to give it a Minnie Mouse vibe.  I only have a black skinny belt, but I threw on a red necklace to see what it looked like.  I don't like the waistline of this dress--it seems to poof out too much. It's also a tiny bit shorter than I would like.

(3) Market & Spruce Austin Polka Dot & Striped Mixed Material Shirt $44

I like the contrasting patterns of this shirt, especially the pocket.  Unfortunately, when I tried it on, the back is MUCH longer than the front and it almost completely covered my shorts.  Anne suggested the Pistola shorts from Fix #15.  This top is also one of the most inexpensive clothing items I've received, but I think it's going back.

 (4) Loveappella Keetin Contrast Shoulder Knit Top $44

I think Anne just sent me this top because it's very "me."  She didn't comment on how to style it at all, so I paired it with my Dear John shorts from Fix #3 and my boyfriend jeans from Fix #14.  I love the coral color and am always looking for cute tanks!

(5) Street Level Talula Backpack $68

Can I just start by saying, I know backpacks are making a comeback, but they are not my thing.  I do like the brown that would go with everything, but this is so not my style, and definitely not worth the price (for me at least)!  Anne had suggested it for hands-free at Disney, but I think my Osprey will work just fine!

So, I'm thinking about only keeping (1) and (4).  I have been keeping a lot lately, so I'm trying to spread my fixes out more and only keep what I love or what makes more sense financially.  I have until Monday to choose which items to keep and which I will send back.  I fill out a checkout survey to give specific feedback on each item so that my next fix can be even better.  Then I put the rejects in a prepaid envelope and drop it off at the post office.
