Stitch Fix Review

I am so excited to have gotten my first Stitch Fix over the weekend! For those of you who do not know what Stitch Fix is you can check it out here: Stitch Fix 

In a nutshell: You pay $20 for a stylist to choose five items of clothing (or accessories) and mail them to you. When you first sign up you answer some style questions. You can also make a Pinterest board specifically for your Stitch Fix stylist to understand your style better. I made this board for my stylist: Stitch-Fix-Inspiration When the items arrive you have three days to try them on and decide whether or not you want to purchase them. If you do purchase something your $20 goes towards that item. They include a self-addressed mailer bag so you can put the items you don't choose in the bag and return them through the mail. It is seriously easy! You can choose how often you want the boxes to arrive.

I was giddy when my box arrived last Saturday. I took it up to my room, closed the door and had a moment. So much fun!

Pretties inside...

I found five different items in my box, a letter from the stylist and cards that show two different ways I could wear each item. I feel like, for the most part, my stylist did so well! I have heard some people have a bad first box but then after more communication w/their stylist they have had a lot of success.

My Items

I received one dress, one skirt, two tops and a jacket.

I have a 7 year old photographer.

 This dress is seriously adorable. I wore it Monday to work! {This jacket did not come in the box.} I really like the quality of the dress and the material is soft.

 I would definitely wear it w/o the jacket if summer would only grace us w/her presence here in Michigan.
The other item I adored is a sheer button down shirt in a floral pattern. It's a little out of my norm but I really like it. I believe the stylist attempts to get items w/in your style but still give you some different looks to try out.

Now, here is where the rubber meets the road for me - price. I'm all about the deals. I'm more quantity than quality when it comes to clothes. I rather three trendy {poorly made} shirts over one high quality classic one. I get bored w/a lot of styles sorta fast so it works out for me. But in my {ahem} older age I am realizing I need some good pieces that are cute but also not made like crap. When you sign up you can tell them what price ranges you want. I think I will go down to the lowest price range for my next box to see what that brings. All of my pieces were from $68-$78....yeah, that's not cheap. I talked myself into getting these two pieces and using some of our tax money that I was able to put aside for clothes.  We always take a little bit out of our tax money for clothes - don't judge.
I did not mind the skirt they sent but it was not worth the money. It was just a light knit skirt. 

 The gray top looked cute until I put it on. It hung all weird and I looked pregnant - not the look I'm going for.
The jacket. Well, the jacket is where the stylist went terribly wrong. The good thing about the process though is that you give you feedback on each piece to the stylist. My feedback on the jacket went something like this, "This jacket looks like something out of the 80's and not in the good way. It is one of the ugliest things I've ever seen." I mean, tell it like it is so they know. And just a side note: Am I the only one who is so over the word "chambray" - seriously, can we just call it jean?
Anyway. I will add a few pics of the style cards they send so you can see the other items they mailed me.
I hope this is helpful to all those who have asked. If you want to try it out you gotta hook a girl up! Their referral program is awesome! Here is my link: Stefanie's referral link

 In the end I was so happy w/the whole process. I was going to do every other month shipments but I decided to get my next one next month. Then, I'll probably go back to once every other month...probably.
