Stitch Fix

I've been using Stitch Fix for several months now.  I have had a few people ask about it. So I thought I would take some truly awful phone pictures and share them all with all of the internet.

A brief description of the service:

Either monthly, or as scheduled a stylist picks out five items based on your style profile and feedback you have included from previous Fixes.  There is a $20 fee, but if you make a purchase from the Fix the $20 is applied to your purchase.  The prices are reasonable.  Maybe a bit higher than what I would pay in a department store, but not having to go to a store and trying things I wouldn't pick out for myself is worth it

This is my most recent Fix and what I thought of my choices.

Prior to this fix I have kept one item from each batch.  Partly because I don't need 5 new things each month and partly because I haven't wanted all five items.  Each time I have gone online and provided feedback on what I liked and what I didn't like.  I felt like with this Fix I saw the fruit of that.  Each item reflected something I had included in my comments.

They provide get this stylist card for each item, which gives you ways you could mix the item with others you might own. Mine also includes ideas for matching new items with purchases I have made in previous months.


It's like Christmas.  A special treat just for mommy.  I usually rip open the box immediately, but then wait until the kids go to bed to try things on.



This was my husband walking in on me taking timer phone pics of my Fix because I was too embarrassed to ask him to take the pics.  But here I am posting them anyway.  I love this dress.  It fits great and is light.  It has tiny cap sleeves and a tie waist that is very forgiving. I think it will be something easy for summer.



I was most surprised by this top.  It was on top of my package and my first impulse was that it was an old lady pattern.  But when I put it on I really like it, even Jason liked it.  I can't decide if I will like it forever or if the pattern will stop me from actually wearing it.  But it is super comfortable and different from what I already own.



I think with a jacket or sweater (as shown on the stylist card) it could add some fun to a simple outfit.


I like this sweater/jacket/wrap thing, but the color wasn't quite right for me.  This makes me want to look for one of these in a bolder color.



Now this shirt is great. Perfect pick for my style. So much so that I already own something very similar.  I seriously have a cream top with orange stripes that wear every chance I get, but I don't think I need two.


I had requested no accessories because I like to buy handmade or local items.  But this time they included these earrings made by a local San Francisco boutique.  I don't have anything like them and think they are great!


From my previous Fixes I have a skirt that I love and wore to every slightly nice event all winter, a button up casual top, a sweater and a jacket.  I also have bought things similar to what they have sent me.  For example they sent me a pair of mint green jeans.  I really wanted them to work, but they were eight feet to long for this short girl and I felt like altering them would make them look odd.  So I ordered a pair in a brand a knew would fit.  I never would have ordered them if the stylist hadn't included this option and shown me how to wear them.



It is something fun to try for a $20 risk.  And I know I have lost more than $20 on clothes that I have picked out myself and hated.

*Full disclosure they give a credit when someone actually orders from my link. I found them because someone shared their link and am so glad they did!

Mind if I ask how much you paid for the items you kept? (feel free to PM me if you'd rather) Seriously contemplating this for after baby! (unless, do they do a maternity version??)
