I’m so sad that I couldn’t review my December Fix: I got it on the day when I had no time to try anything on, and then I was busy for the next two days, too. In the end I didn’t keep anything, because I had problems with either colors or the fit. In February I could actually take my time trying everything on, and even got to keep one item. If my budget allowed, I would have kept the whole box! 🙂

HOW IT WORKS
In a nutshell, Stitch Fix is a personal shopper service: for a $20 styling fee a specially designated Stitch Fix stylist will put together a package full of fashionable items, all according to your style profile. This fee will be applied as a credit toward anything you keep from your shipment, and if you choose to keep it all, you will get an extra 25% discount. After you get the box, it’s very simple: try it on, keep what you like, and send back everything you don’t want within 3 days in a convenient prepaid envelope. You can choose either to get a one-time fix, or to subscribe on a monthly basis. Sounds like fun, doesn’t it?

This time around I was sent five items instead of four, and I must say I had a great time playing with them. I got 41 Hawthorn Striped Knit Cardigan, Renee C Melody Longsleeve Cowl Neck Dress, LA MADE Weaver Mixed Cowl Neck Top, Under Skies Sacha Beaded Pocket Short Sleeve Shirt, and Emperia Crossbody Bag.
 |
| LA MADE Weaver Mixed Cowl Neck Top |
The first thing I tried on was this bright blue cowl neck top from LA MADE. It features a very relaxed fit, and can be dressed up or down with accessories. It has a very interesting detail in the back made out of different type of cloth, which I thought was pretty cool. The material felt very light and airy, something that would be perfect for summer.

| Under Skies Sacha Beaded Pocket Short Sleeve Shirt and Emperia Crossbody Bag |
These two things I tried together: Emperia bag and Under Skies top seemed like they belong together. The bag is made of faux leather and features spikey accents, making it look a bit more edgy. I thought the design was nice, but I wasn’t crazy about the color. The semi-sheer T-shirt is actually really cool, and has a lovely embellished pocket in the front, which is totally my style. I knew right away that I had to keep it, before I even looked at the price. It turned out to be the cheapest item in the box, and of course I was quite happy about that 🙂

| 41 Hawthorn Striped Knit Cardigan |
Next item is this ultra-comfy cardigan from 41 Hawthorn, which is Stitch Fix’s own line of clothing. It fit me perfectly, and I loved the length and the material. I considered keeping it, but after closer inspection I noticed a few small tugs here and there. A shame, really, but I would not pay full price for a less than perfect product.

| Renee C Melody Long Sleeve Cowl Neck Dress |
Last but not least, Renee C dress [and that’s a scratch on my mirror, not a dirty armpit, LOL]. It fits me like a glove, and the material is oh-so-soft and warm, which is perfect for dressing up during cold Michigan winters. I think my stylist did a really great job picking it for me, but she had no way of knowing that I already have pretty much the same dress in black: also cowl neck, similar length, except it’s black and not dark gray. Nonetheless, I enjoyed trying it on to confirm once again that this style hugs my curves in all the right places without revealing too much 🙂

THE VERDICT
StitchFix accomodated all of my requests, and clearly looked at my Pinterest board that I provided for inspiration. I wanted no more pants [check!], more preppy-style clothes [that t-shirt totally fits the profile!], at least one bright item per fix [hello, blue top]. I also prefer having a bit more coverage in the front [check!], and the full range of sleeves – from sleeveless tops to long-sleeve dress, StitchFix covered all the bases. Even though this month I could only afford one item, I really hope my fixes will continue being this awesome in the future. And again, I’m sorry for the terrible picture quality, I wish I had better conditions to take large scale photos. Maybe I can make my husband take my pics outside when it’s warm 🙂
Have you tried Stitch Fix? What do you think about the clothes I got?
What a cute concept! Love the different outfits.
It’s so fun! I only discovered this service a couple months ago and I’m already in love 🙂
I would be inclined to keep it all! 🙂
I know, i was so sad that I couldn’t just keep everything =/
I love the sweater and that dress is HOT! A friend of mine just posted about this too and I’m totally intrigued!!
I love reading everyone’s Stitch Fix unboxings! if you don’t mind posting the link to her review, I would love to check it out 🙂 And thank you :3
This is so cool! Thanks for sharing!
You’re welcome!
I love that cowl neck dress!
Me too! I have one in black, and it’s very comfy.
I love the dress. Do they do plus-sizes? I would have wanted to keep the bag!
I just saw a comment on their Facebook page about curating plus-sized boxes, and they told the girl to email them for details.
I love the dress as well, you could pair it with a bright sweater or a cute leather jacket and dress it up so many different ways!

Indeed, it looks very versatile, and I love the material – warm, soft and cozy 🙂
I might consider this, though I already have too many clothes.
I have the exact opposite problem – too much makeup and skincare, not enough clothes LOL 🙂
I think the concept is great – but I’m horrible about returning items, so I think this would be short lived for me and my wallet. I love the items you got thought!
Yeah I can see that, luckily I just give the return package to my husband so he can drop it off at the post office on the way to work.
Wow, that’s pretty awesome. I didn’t know this service existed! I would have kept the sweater, were it not imperfected! But everything looks great on you!!
Thank you Judy! I can’t believe I only discovered this service a couple months ago, because they’ve been in business for 3 years now! I feel like I’ve been living under a rock 🙂
The sweater dress is GOOORGEOUS on you
Thank you Miranda! I would have kept it if I didn’t already have one just like it in black. I mean it literally looks exactly like that, but the hem is about an inch longer.
Oh my gosh… I love that striped knit cardigan. This is such an awesome service, I had not idea it was even available. 🙂
You and me both, Honey. I just discovered them a couple months ago, and this service has been in business for 3 years now!
I signed up for this not too long ago but totally forgot about it. I like the gray dress and striped cardi on you!
Thank you Kath 🙂 I look forward to reading your post, if you plan to write one.
What a great box you got – everything was super cute. I”ve gotten two months – the first I loved and overall the clothes fit great and I kept everything even though it was expensive. The second month they sent me all black stuff. It was puzzling and much of it was unflattering – not at all the same style as the month before. I kept one shirt sort of because I didn’t want to lose the styling fee and it was the only ok thing in the box. The box included a skin tight pair of black jeggings that were something like $140 with a card saying they were “perfect for work” – ??? (I work in medical on their profile…). I have another box coming at the end of the month and I really hope they do better. If it is like the last box I am going to ask for a refund on my styling fee because they should at least be sending me things that somewhat resemble my profile. I love the concept however, and have zero time to shop – so I am really hoping for an improvement.
Now that you mention it, in my second fix (December) that I didn’t review I also got a bunch of black items, which was kind of boring, considering my Pinterest board is filled with beiges, brights and whites. I think you and I got the same stylist, because I also got a pair of expensive jeggings. Did you by any chance also receive a black sequined sleeveless top that month?
No sequins, thank goodness. I did get a hideous sort of silver/black shiny cowl neck sweater that looked like something Diana Troy would have worn in Star Trek TNG. It was the most unflattering and dated looking piece of clothing imaginable. In combination w/ the jeggings – laughably bad. Another top was a heavy jersey knit with black and white slashes on it – with an extremely deep front opening. The top I kept is a tan and black striped top that has fabric cross-crossed in the front (hard to describe) which is actually pretty nice but would have been much better in a bright color. My profile specifically says no brown or beige and limited black. I really hope they do better this time.
Hmm that doesn’t sound very nice, indeed, especially if you had your preferences set for no beige,brown, limited black. I’ve gotten a few items that fit well and the price was just right, but the color killed it all.
Such cute items!
They are! The stylist really did a great job curating this fix.
I’ve always been curious about Stitchfix. Each item of clothing looked great on you, especially the dress! I’m glad you already have something similar, clearly that fit was made for you!
Aw thank you Justina! I have a love-hate relationship with bodycon fit, because of my clearly hourglass shape. Sometimes it just looks too vulgar, but this dress is perfect 🙂
Great idea for a box – I love that purse!
It’s pretty fun, not gonna lie 🙂
