If you haven't heard of Stitch Fix, it is an organization that sends clothes and accessories straight to your door, based on a style profile that you fill out. In other words, the items are all personalized to fit your style and needs. You tell your stylist what you like,you pay for what you keep, and send back the rest. Its pretty genius really.
My second Fix came last week, and I was so pleased with it! If you're feeling the need to spruce up your wardrobe, here is the link to try out Stitch Fix stitchfix.com/referral/8738466. There is no sign up fee, and you only pay for the items you keep. There is a $20 styling fee that is taken off the total of your purchase if you choose to keep any items.
Another bonus: For those trying to shop ethically, just ask your stylist to send only clothing made in the USA or Canada!
I thought I'd share with you each of the five items I was sent, and whether it was a keeper or a return...
#1-- Terin Contrast Hem Knit Top
Verdict: Returned. In the end, I couldn't justify spending a little more than fit into my budget right now, on an item that I didn't love.
#2-- Millie Textured Knit Dress
Thoughts: I fell in love with this dress right when I saw it, and loved it even more after I put it on. It is classy, cute, versatile and super comfy. I love dresses, and the pattern on this one was easy to wear for numerous occasions. This one could also be dressed up or dressed down-- super convenient.
Verdict: Returned. I hated to return it, but when I got real I realized that I already have far too many dresses, and simply don't have enough occasions to wear all of them. It just wasn't practical for me to add another dress to my collection. It was also slightly above my price range, but would have been a quality purchase-- just wasn't something I could justify at this point.
#3-- Wels Puffer Vest
Thoughts: I was on the fence about this one when I pulled it out of the box. I wanted to love it, but it has been so long since I wore vests, that I just wasn't sure. When I tried it on, I liked how soft and thick it was. It definitely felt like something that would keep me cozy and warm in the winter (important in the PNW)!
Verdict: Returned. I decided to return it for a few reasons. First off, I didn't have enough items in my wardrobe that would go well with this vest, and second, I didn't love it. It might take me a while to get on the vest bandwagon. A quality product once again, but not something that fit my style right now.
Thoughts: I LOVED this top from the moment I pulled it out of the box. The fabric is high quality, and soft. The top is dressy, but could also be worn on a daily basis. Also, the color is GORGEOUS! Its hard to see in this picture, but the front v-neck is lined with lace, as well as the top several inches of the back. Lace is in right now, and it just so happens to be one of my favorite looks as well. Double bonus!
Verdict: Keeper!! I was so excited to add this piece to my wardrobe. There are so many things I can wear with it, and its light and airy fabric makes it breathable and versatile for changing seasons.
Thoughts: Loved them on the hanger. Did not love them on me. They hugged all the wrong places and were a little bit too small. They were cute, but did not work for me.
Verdict: Returned.
Overall, I was pleased with my second Fix, and I am excited for my third to arrive in January. I'm impressed with this company and its so fun to look forward to receive a fix (you get to choose how often and what day it arrives) on your doorstep! Its convenient and the stylists work hard to pick items that fit your price range and style preferences.
I definitely recommend Stitch Fix if you're looking for a simple, quick, affordable option for adding some new pieces to your wardrobe!!
