Stitch Fix Winners and Losers

I'm being super brave and posting a Stitch Fix post.  I figure sacrificing some selfies could amount to a) better fixes b) more blog traffic and c) opening up some style dialogue! 

If you are not familiar with Stitch Fix and how it works, see below:

1. Start by filling out your style profile - you will complete a variety of questions on sizing, pricing, preferences, colors, etc. You can also write notes about likes/dislikes. Make sure to link your fashion board on Pinterest so your stylist can see what you like! 

2. Order your first fix! Your card will be charged a $20 styling fee, but if you keep any item you will be credited back the $20. You will receive 5 items [made up of clothing, jewelry, and handbags]. You can tell your stylist if you only want clothes!

3. Decide what you want and what you want to send back [they provide a postage paid envelope]! You have 3 business days to decide - use this time to try everything on, see what you have in your closet that pairs well with it and don't be afraid to yes to something that you wouldn't normally. That's what makes Stitch Fix so fun!  My personal philosophy is only keep it if you love it!

Oh, and if you keep all 5 items, you get a huge 25% off discount the total.  

You can decide how frequently  you want to receive fixes.  I usually get one every 1-2 months depending on budget constraints!  I've been a subscriber since October, and I've received 10 fixes.  I tried to include the name and pricing for the items I kept. 

In the spirit of full disclosure, this is not a sponsored post, but the Stitch Fix links do take you to my referral link to receive a sign up bonus.  :)

 

Here we go! Remember - If you see anything that you like below, feel free to pin away!

Behold the B movie version of a Stitch Fix review!

Sina V-neck Printed Maxi Dress, $74

This is one of the most flattering and easy to wear dresses ever.

Corinna Striped Dolman Top, $48

Jasmin Boyfriend Jean, $98

Ok, let's start with the jeans.  I'm fairly certain they were mislabeled on my receipt because these jeans are totally skinny.  There is nothing boyfriend about them.  The brand on the back is "Mia&Moss."  I have never in my life ever paid this much for jeans.  But I've worn these about 50 times since last fall.  I absolutely love them.  They are stretchy and perfect for a longer top like this one.  They've worn and washed really well, look great with boots or flats.  The top is amazing.  I want it in every color.  It's very flattering (see that strategic ruching around the mid-section?)  It also feels like I am wearing pajamas.  

 

Penny draped colorblock cardigan, $68

I wore this all fall/winter long.  I basically told my stylist.  Send me things that are as comfortable as pajamas, but are socially acceptable to wear to the grocery store.  She listened.  

Lawley Cable Knit Cardigan, $68

Here is another great basic.  It instantly adds a little polish to jeans and a t-shirt.

 

Maud Mixed Material Knit Top, $48n

When I took this one out of the box, I said absolutely not, but it's one of my favorites.  

Cuballa Embroidery Knit Top, $58

Miah Longsleeve French Terry and Faux Leather Dress, $98

This one is so crazy, and I cannot even believe I kept it!  That being said, I have worn it to the two fancier date nights I had this year, and I felt like a million bucks in it if not a little odd.  But hey, sometimes it's nice to step outside of your comfort zone.  What drew me to this dress was the fact that it was a sweatshirt on the top, but a party on the bottom.  

Adrianna Circle Bib Necklace, $34

I still don't know how to work this necklace. I kept it because it was more expensive to send it back than to get my 25% off discount.  Help me!

Laina 3/4 Sleeve Striped Tie-Waist Dress, $38

This is one of my fave purchases hands down.  Great price.  All seasons.  Feels like PJs. Love.

Escarpa Embroidered Top, $64

Navarro Henley Top, $48

Siena Cropped Pant, $58

I just love the colors.

Kate Distressed Boyfriend Jean, $78

I love these jeans and wear them all the time.

Nala Chiffon Trim Blouse - Still sad this one got returned.

Tenessy Chevron Print Maxi Dress - I loved the fit of this one, but I just couldn't justify the price.

Kimono - Returned

Martina Slub Knit Open Cardigan, $48

They had me at hot pink.

Perry Plaid Cotton Button-Up, $48

Other disclaimers.  Stitch Fix has totally replaced any outside shopping for me. Are you listening, husband?  So while the clothes are more expensive than my usual Target and Gap runs, I think I actually come out even because all those frequent little shops have been replaced.  

Remind me to powder next time I have an impromptu photo shoot.
