I realize I am a few years behind on the whole Stitch Fix thing. In my life before having a baby it just didn't really appeal to me because I loved to go shopping. Now that I have a toddler that is something I rarely get to do. I do the majority of my shopping online and usually stick with brands and things that I know how they fit me. I decided to give Stitch Fix a try for a few different reasons.
- I never get to go shopping
- I am not adventurous, but perhaps I should be
- Trying on clothes often makes me want to cry
- I dislike large crowds
- Shopping with a toddler is very difficult {mixed with the tears of trying on clothes can lead to a difficult time ha}
I just came home from church to my Stitch Fix waiting for me. I was very surprised to see it because it came a few days early and I didn't know the mail was ever delivered on Sunday.
Opening the box was a lot of fun. I felt like someone had sent me a gift, then I remembered it was myself and that I had to pay for it ha. The first thing I tried on was a printed knit dress by Nine Britton. I loved it! I love wearing dresses and this is a perfect casual and comfy dress that you can style many different ways and it has pockets! This is the only piece I ended up keeping.
I tried on another dress that was very similar to the first but in a solid navy color. It is the Alison Essential T-Shirt Swing Dress by Pixley. I actually really liked this dress too but just felt like a lot of stuff I already have in my closet and I am trying to branch out a bit.
The next thing I tried was a solid gray knit tee by 41 Hawthorn. I did like this shirt but was just a little to plain and I already have something similar. I am very frugal and didn't was to spend $32 on a shirt for layering.
While I had the grey shirt on I tried the cardigan I was sent by Cotton Emporium. I really liked the cut and style of this piece but just did not care for the color blocking and colors of it.
My last item was a pair of skinny jeans by 1822 Denim. These are like a jegging and super comfortable. They were only $40- which I totally think they were worth it. They are a very soft denim. They were a bit big and I just bought 3 pairs of my favorite jeans ever from Kiki LaRue (the Hudson jeans) so I decided to pass on them. (Little side note if you have never tried their jeans do it! The Hudson jeans are life changing and perfect for mom bods. These jeans save me from many meltdowns. ;)
All in all I was very pleased with my first fix. Every item fit and most things I did like but I am just looking for some more adventurous pieces in my closet. After receiving your fix you go online and rate each piece and decided what you want to keep and send the rest back in the pre-paid package. I am really excited for my next fix because they should be better and better as my stylist learns what I like and don't.
I would suggest this service to anyone! It is perfect for me as a mom that doesn't get to go out and try clothes on much, but I really think anyone would love it. I also love that you can choose the frequency of your fixes. They carry I wide range of sizes from 0-24W, petite and maternity. All you have to do is sign up online and feel out your style profile. This is how they pick the clothes to send to you.
