My first Stitch Fix review!

I received my first Stitch Fix today and I am excited to share my experience! For those of you not familiar with Stitch Fix, here are the details from the site:

The style profile is pretty detailed and includes everything from your sizes, what colors to avoid, your price range, print preferences, etc. Now for the pricing details:

I read a ton of reviews and also talked about it with a coworker before giving it a try. The site is still in beta, so you have to sign up and there is a slight waiting period (I would say it was about a week from signing up until I got an email saying I was in). You have to schedule a delivery date (mine came right on schedule). I tore into the box as soon as I got home:

Also, a nifty little detail is this styling card that is attached to each piece:

Anyways, on to the fun part--the clothes and accessories my "personal stylist" at Stitch Fix picked out for me:

Item 1 - Two Strand Bubble Necklace (Price $28):

Ok, this one I have mixed feelings about. It feels really cheap (the hot pink part is plastic) and it's also a color that I would not normally pick for myself (I'm not really into the whole neon trend), but I did like it as a contrast with the black and white. I'm on the fence, I have a couple more days to decide whether I want to keep it or not.



Item 2 - Carter Skinny Ankle-Length Jeans (Price $88):

These were my favorite. They fit well, were comfortable, and a great color for summer. Definitely a keeper!


Item 3 - Florence Colorblocked Dress (Price $68):

This just made me look like I was wearing a tent. I just felt frumpy in it. Back it goes!


Item 4 - Amanda Chevron Print Dress (Price $68):

This was another unflattering piece. It made me feel matronly. And the awkward placement of the under bust seam doesn't really allow cinching it in with a belt either. I didn't keep this one either.


Item 5 - Jayda Dot Cuffed Chambray Top (Price $58):

This top was ok. I'm not really into chambray tops, but this did have a very cute polka dot detailing on the cuffs and collar. However, it was a bit boxy in the shoulder area and made me look like I have broad shoulders. This one is going back as well since I didn't feel like I would wear it.


Overall, I thought it was an overall fun process and would likely do it again. From what I understand, the more you do it, the more the stylists get to know your style.
