Stitch Fix June Review

Want to update your closet but don’t know how?  Enter Stitch Fix.  What, you may ask, is Stich Fix?  Stitch Fix is your own personal styling service.  You create an account with them, fill out a detailed style profile of what kind of clothes you love and what you hate, tell them about how much you would want to spend, and set up a fix. Fixes can come as often or as little as you want.  You can even have it set up to come monthly if you don’t want to think about it.  I have mine set up monthly and have even shared my Pinterest clothing board with them so they can see the types of items I love.  Once it’s time for your Fix a stylist will pick out 5 items that they think will be a good fit for you based on your style profile.  Once you get them you have 3 days to try items on in your own home, decide what you want to keep, and send the rest back in a pre-paid bag they include.  To tell Stitch Fix what you want to keep you just log onto your account at Stitch Fix and they will list out your items and give you an option to include feedback as well.  Each time you leave feedback they are getting more information about how to style you better.  If you decide to keep all 5 of your items you get a 25% discount on your whole fix...awesome!  You can see my previous posts about my experiences with Stitch Fix here and here.

Now onto the clothes…

Oxmo Jayla Front Twist Sweater in Pink $78.00

This one would have been awesome to get in September when I’m getting excited about fall.  I live in Idaho so as soon as it gets warm enough I like to NOT see my winter clothes for as long as possible.  I wasn’t really a fan of the color of this one, but I still feel like I would have been more in the mood for it when I’m also getting in the mood for pumpkins, hot chocolate, bright colored leaves, and all the goodness of fall.  Unfortunately this one was not a keeper.

Pixley Bettina Enamel Crescent Bib in Fuchsia $34.00

I love big jewelry.  Like statement pieces.  I think this one semi falls into that category.  I think the pink color threw me off on this one.  I don’t mind color in my jewelry, but I’d rather see it in gem form.  I have loved the last two jewelry pieces I got from Stitch Fix so I was a bit bummed when I didn’t fall in love with this one.  I ended up sending it back.

Pomelo Klara Embroidered & Striped French Terry Top $34.00

This one was the first item I’ve gotten from Stitch Fix where I had to say, “What were they thinking”.  So far I have liked every item I’ve gotten.  I haven’t kept everything just because some things don’t always fit how you want or I didn’t think the cost matched the item, but this shirt was way off.  For one I thought it looked boxy in shape.  I really like more shape to my clothes.  I don’t mind the stripes, but the yellow stitch detailing was a bit weird with it.  Like I think I would like them on two separate pieces…not together.  The final kicker with this one was the fabric.  It was a type of terry cloth material.  It had no stretch at all and couldn’t fully get it on my arms (thanks swimming for giving me more muscular arms).  Of course this one did not find its home in my closet.

Kensie Jeans Kaleigh Ankle Biter Skinny Jean in Navy $88.00

I was pleasantly surprised by the pants I got.  I’m not a big pants person I guess you could say.  I love tops, jewelry, jackets, purses, and shoes, but pants just always seem to be pants.  I’m happy to have them, but I don’t fall in love with them.  When I saw these pants I was extremely happy to see that they were navy blue (weird I know).  I don’t own navy blue pants.  I felt like I could wear these at work or out with my friends.  They are a stretchy material which I appreciate.  The only thing that could have made these better would have been a higher waist.  I’m a fan of the higher waist pants, I feel like they stay on better, I’m not pulling them up all night, and I don’t have to wear a belt if I don’t want to.  I ended up keeping these!

Daniel Rainn Drake Snake Print Cross-Front Blouse $68.00

Immediately when I saw this shirt I had mixed feelings.  I usually love prints; however, I’m pretty sure my grandma had a shirt that kind of looked similar to this one.  Not snake print, but the same color scheme.  I did like the fit of the top, it was something I would for sure wear usually.  I really would have loved this in a different color.  Maybe blacks, whites, and greys with bits of red.  I really almost kept this one, but I texted a picture of me in it to a friend and her first reaction (without any prompt from me) was that it kind of looked like a grandma top…so two votes for a grandma top and I just couldn’t keep it.  Back it went.

I left feedback to Stitch Fix about all my items and that next time I would love to see summer clothes and maybe even a maxi skirt if they found one that was fun.  Even though I ended up with only 1/5 items I still am totally on board for this service.  You can’t win them all right?  It’s really fun and addicting to get clothes picked out specifically for you.  I love the surprise element of it.  It’s so much more fun to get it and try things on at home, then going to a store and just seeing it on the rack.  Plus you get a fun personal note with it.  I can’t wait to get my next fix.  I’m excited to see what they have in store.
