April 2015 Stitch Fix Review

So I haven't ordered a Stitch Fix in a while and figured it was time! Here is how the service works (link at the bottom of the page to sign up!):


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


Here is what I found when I opened my box:




You also get this great styling sheet to help with styling your new pieces:




Here is a review of each piece that was hand selected for me:



Item #1: Elsa Chevron Arrow Bib Necklace by Romolo (Price: $32)

I thought this was cute, but it felt cheap for the higher price tag of $32. Back it goes!


Item #2: Colibri Paisley Print Sleeveless Top by Market & Spruce (Price $44)

I wanted to love this. The print is gorgeous and perfect for spring! But...I just felt like it didn't do much for my shape - it was too boxy for me.. It was a decent price as well at $44.


Item #3: Brittany Bermuda Short by Liverpool (Price: $48)

When I saw on my invoice that I was getting bermuda shorts, I thought to myself "absolutely not - I already know these are going back, even sight unseen" but I actually thought they weren't as bad as I thought they'd be. They were super comfortable, but didn't do anything to compliment me. Back they go!


Item #4: Elise Crochet Detail Swing Skirt by Loveappella (Price: $58)

This skirt was my favorite! I loved everything about it - the print, the crochet detail, the length, the fabric (it is so soft!). This is definitely a keeper!


Item #5: Troy Drape Vest by Kut From The Kloth (Price: $88)


When I saw this on the invoice, I was intrigued. I don't really but vests, but it seemed cute enough from other pictures online. But when it arrived - well, that was a totally different story. It was a cute color (dark olive/almost brown), but the fabric is like canvas, very still. Also, it looked so bad on I almost didn't want to post the picture. Pass!


Overall, I thought the stylist did a good job of capturing my unique style. Even if they didn't all fit as planned, they were still interesting pieces that jived well with my current wardrobe. As always, the process was a lot of fun and exciting. I will definitely be ordering another Stitch Fix soon

Just a quick post to show my work look that combined one of my new favorite prints (florals) with a hint of nerd:


Top: Paper moon

Here are close ups of my nerdy accessories:

             

Nerdy glasses ring: Kate Spade
Harry Potter Ring: Purchased at a geek craft show (can be found on Etsy as well)
Watch: Fossil

P.S. I am in love with my constellation necklace because it has my astrological sign on one side, and the actual constellation on the other. It's a perfect need accessory!!
