As many of you know, I have an obsession with subscription boxes. My new favorite is Stitch Fix, which is a personal stylist service. First, you complete a survey about your sense of style and the clothing sizes you wear. You are given a stylist who selects 5 pieces for you (usually 4 clothing and one accessory) and then mails them to you for a $20 fee (the fee can later go towards the price of any item you buy). These deliveries are called Fixes. Once you receive your Fix, you try on the clothes, keep what you want, and then send back what you don't in a postage paid envelope. You complete a survey once you get your box that allows you to provide feedback, such as how well the items fits, if you like the style, or if the price point is okay with you. You peg items as "Keep it" or "Return it." Items you keep are automatically charged from your card on file. You are given the opportunity to add comments, and then request specific styles or items for your next fix. Stitch Fix also allows you to paste in your Pinterest Board so that they can use that to help style you as well.
Now, to my review. I have received three fixes so far:
Fix #1:
I received 4 pieces of clothing and a necklace.
Item #1: RETURN IT. The necklace, I thought was hideous, strictly because it was just a long piece that hung straight down...there wasn't that rounded appearance around your neck that necklaces typically have--not my style. ($28)
Item #2: RETURN IT. A blue dress, with white embroidery around the edges. While I wanted to like this dress, the embroidery rubs on my neck the wrong way. Overall, the dress was a great fit, and was even long enough for my longer legs (dresses are normally too short on me, and I told my stylist that). I couldn't find a picture though (sorry!)($48)
Item #3: KEEP IT. A light pink shirt with a design. Needs an undershirt, but thought it would go well both for work and for an afternoon out. Nice and breezy. Slightly tight around the arms, but overall I like it. ($38)
Item #4: KEEP IT. A grey and white striped 3/4 sleeve sweater. Fitted arms, lose around the torso. Super soft material, and comfy cozy. ($40)
Item #5: Skinny streth-fit jeans, with an elastic top. I first looked at this and thought....maternity wear? BEST DESIGN EVER. Soooo comfy for jeans, and the band was forgiving so I didn't have to worry about having too much to eat, or that my pants would fit if I was bloated or gained a pound. ($85)
All in all, I got three items, and spent about $170. While this is way more than I typically spend for clothes, I had to take into account the following things: 1. I didn't have to go shopping!! 2. The items were better quality than what I typically buy, and 3. I have horrible fashion sense and this stranger helped me figure it out a little bit more. Hahha.
1st thought? SUCCESS! Ready for Stitch #2....and 3. I'm addicted!!
Fix #2, I had a different stylist, and quite honestly, I returned the whole box except for a necklace (see the necklace I have on in Fix #3). With the $20 styling fee that I could put towards the price of the necklace, I only paid $8 for the necklace.
