Stitch Fix Review

 What the heck is it?

StitchFix is a girlie kind of tech/fashion startup based in the Bay Area of California. It’s just a few years old and is growing like crazy. They use a special data-driven process to hone in on the things you love most–but also pair you with a stylist whose job it is to make sure you get awesome stuff that is TRULY you. It’s designed to get better and better the longer you use it (because the more data you provide the more their system and stylists understand your tastes). You sign up, fill out their Style Profile, and then pay $20 for your fix. Your $20 is credited to your account to be used toward an item in your fix! I’d recommend filling out your style profile…it will help you figure out your style!

 

Is it expensive? I’m a Target shopper–will I find anything in my price-range?

You likely won’t find anything Target or Forever21 cheap. But, you get to pick how much you want the pieces to cost. I normally get things no lower than $35 and no higher than $100. There are some things I’d never pay StitchFix prices for, and then there are some things priced at a point I’m pleasantly surprised by. On my style profile I put cheapest as possible so they know I want things cheap.

You MUST be specific and honest. I was afraid to be bossy and choosy at first, and you know what that got me? Fixes that I didn’t love. Word on the street is that if you have the guts to be brave and speak your mind, it actually makes your stylist’s job easier and more fun…plus, you get better fixes. I made a specific Pinterest board for my stylist  to look at that way she knows what I am looking for.

 

Lets take a look at what I got:

Before I received my box I told my stylist that I was going to New York City and needed my fix to be for that. I didn't even stop to think and realize that my New York style and others are different so that's why this Stitch Fix wasn't my favorite. I know that it is my fault and have made changes and being specific about what I want for New York.

This is what it looks like when you get a knock on the door letting you know your package has arrived. I tracked it and knew I was receiving it today and  couldn't wait. 

 

Its wrapped all neatly like



They include style cards so it will give you some ideas of different options of what to wear it with.

 

I'm having a hard time being specific about my sizing when it comes to tops. Ever since post-boobs I have a problem with tops. I am a Medium but most mediums are to tight in the boobs and when I get a large it fits in boobs but big everywhere else. Of course with being under 5 feet I have a hard time find the right length. I put a size Large for tops on my style profile to be safe but after this fix I went and changed it to Medium. I feel it was to baggy and the wide shoulders makes my wide shoulders ever wider. I have the weirdest body shape ever. I am hourglass which you would think be a good thing but I have large arms so I tend to look football player. I have gained 25 pounds in the last 2-3 years and my arms and hips are where my weight goes. I am not on a diet to shred those. The pattern and colors were really cute but the cut and sizing wasn't on my side so I sent it back. This top was 48.00 and the material was a good long lasting type so had it looked great on me I would of kept it.
Settle down I would not wear this top with these Nike shorts but knew I wasn't keeping it so didn't bother finding bottoms to complete this look.

 

Being that I am on the top heavy side I think this dress only made it worse. I also sized my dress size as Large because if sizing in Juniors I wanted to make sure it wasn't to tight so I went back and changed my size to Medium. This dress is just frumpy on me and did nothing for my body. I want to look skinny Minnie not frumpy. I sent this dress back also and it was priced at 68.00. There again this was a hardy material that would last a long time so I would of paid this amount if it did my body good.

This sweater I thought I wasn't going to like and didn't know what I thought about the different colors but once I put it on I loved it and can you believe that it was only 28.00. Yes that's all and the material was a good one not cheap feeling or looking. I kept this one.

 

I feel this sweater is something I could wear casual or dress it up.

I had told them that I was looking for a pearl necklace and they sent one. I am not a fan of this tiny necklace I love gaudy and bulky. Although I am a go big or go home kind of girl so dainty is something I'm not. I did not keep this. It was 38.00

 

This skinny jeans I knew wasn't going to work when I looked at the length so I didn't even bother to try these on. They were mint and could of been really cute. These were priced at 58.00. The material felt really stretchy and soft.



Since I only kept the sweater and it was 28.00 and my stylist fee was 20.00 I only ended up having to pay 8.00. After this fix I changed all my info and went very detailed and specific and scheduled another fix and should be here around the 21st. So we will see how the next one goes. Being that I went into great detail this new box should be great.

Stitch Fix Mail Day

Stitch Fix came in and Im so excited its like Christmas morning each month. Here is a look at what my stylist picked out for me using the profile I filled out.

I know my iPhone camera sucks inside so next time I will try to do them outside or use my good Cannon but I was in a hurry sorry.

This shirt is ok but it was 78bucks and I don't think I like it that much.

So I will be sending this top back and there is a section where you can tell them you thoughts and comments and there is a section about price so I obvi put to much

This isn't ,uch better I was trying different lighting.

This top Im keeping it is so soft and comfortable. it reminds me of the picko tops that I love.

I am keeper this one. 48$

 

I like this top and the bright colors and pattern but I have large arms and this should width doesn't slim them at all so I will be send this one back also.





This is the back of this shirt and I know I haven't took the tags off yet 

Here is the front and I know I don't have a tank on underneath but like I said earlier I was in a hurry and just was throwing them on. I am keeping this shirt and will have a tank on under the next time you see me sporting this top.

 

Now on to the dress....I have big arm and huge hips and this dress makes this look larger.

I cant wear any skirts or dresses with pockets due to the fact that it make my hips look larger. I like the pattern and wish the lighting would show the colors its black grey and white its really cute. 

Here is my box this month. SO all in all I kept 2 tops and sent the dress and the other 2 tops back. I need to get back on my gym time and work these arms and hips off so if you know any good exercises please fill me in.

Favorite Mail Day....Stitch Fix

I know I have fell of the blog world but now that my super Hot Bish Raven has spilled a little secret I'm pretty sure I will have more time to blog because I'm going to have a lot more time on my hands.
Stitch Fix is a once a month personal styling service. You sign up, fill out an extensive survey describing in detail what your specific style preferences are, i.e. preppy, classic, etc., and then a stylist picks out five different items (it can be a top, pants, jeans, dress, jacket, jewelry), they are then shipped to your front door, you try on all items, keep the ones you want and send the ones you don't want back in a prepaid package. There is a $20 monthly fee for this service, however whatever you decide to keep, that $20 goes towards that item/items.

Here is my first Month and I'm so excited like it s Christmas morning.
