My 2nd Stitch Fix!

It is like Christmas morning when I know my box has been delivered and I cannot wait to get home and open it. 







I requested my same stylist since my first box was a hit and I kept all 5 items. I got a different stylist and the fix wasn't terrible but the fit of the clothes was far from perfect. I requested flowy tops and the one print I loved was too big. So the whole be VERY specific in your notes when ordering a stitch is crucial!
I requested a dress for a beach trip and this was the stylist's idea of a beach trip dress. While I liked this dress, it was more of something I would wear to work with flats or maybe a funeral. It has no pleats or anything it is just a shift dress which I like except for it literally is knee length on my 5'1 frame. 

Returned the dress


These are grey distressed skinny jeans. I absolutely loved my first pair of dark wash skinny jeans. This pair, not so much. Its a different brand and "distressed" in one knee. This was definitely not "skinny" on the lower legs so they just looked strange on me. The cost $98. 

Returned the jeans and added in my feedback, no distressed, no cargo, and no palazzo pants. 


Loved this top but unfortunately I needed a smaller size and did not realize you could exchange sizes via customer service until if was too late and I had checked out. This was what I requested when I said I wanted colorful, summer, sleeveless tops that are flowy. The medium definitely runs big in my opinion. $38 for this top. 

Returned the cute top!


This was the only thing I was not wanting to try on when I saw it. This is a top I would NEVER even try on in a store. But Stitch Fix always recommends trying on all items so I did. And surprisingly I liked the fit and design. The material was super soft and very high quality. I would have kept this but even though it did surprise me, it's not my style. 

Returned the top. 



Lastly, this was my one keeper from my fix. I love this top!! The fit is flowy but will be cute wifh white shorts or skinny jeans. Plus, I didn't want to lose my $20 styling fee. I have seen this top a lot in a white/cream color but I love this coral color. 

I cannot wait for my next fix. I gave a lot of feedback and I am still really pleased with this service.

My first Stitch Fix experience...

 I am not good at clothes shopping. I love to shop! But I pick out plain Jane stuff. I find a v-neck I like and buy all of the solid colors of the same shirt. I can buy casual dresses but I need help in the casual dress and dressy dress arena. Plus, time is an issue (with 2 girls under 3 shopping for myself gets placed on the backburner)!! Also, finding jeans that fit my height is an issue. I read a lot of blogs of women who received Stitch Fix boxes and I work with a nurse practitioner and a nurse that use it once every 2-3 months. So I decided to try it. You pay $20 for a styling fee. You make a pinterest board and answer questions and write memos and look at pictures and basically tell the stylist your style.

I made a memo that said something along the lines of: please don't send scarves or handbags. I wont use them. No chevron. I need a good pair of skinny jeans that do not require alteration because its extremely difficult to find them because even some petities are too long. I wrote that I would like help with date night outfits but want something I could wear on a casual restaurant or with dress pants. 

My stylist was Carrie and she sent me the PERFECT items. I told her I didn't want to spend a whole lot.

 If you keep all 5 items you get a 25% discount. The $20 styling fee is the only thing you are charged upfront. It goes towards the cost of whatever you choose to keep. If you don't like something you have a prepaid envelope to return it within 3 days of receiving the box. The only money you could lose would be the $20 if you dislike all 5 items.

 They sent me a dress, a cardigan, a pair of skinny jeans, a necklace, and a dressy/casual top. I loved everything except the color of the shirt but I will keep it because it is dressy and a nice top. I can deal with the color! 

You leave feedback on your fix after receiving the box. I will let Carrie know that I prefer brighter colors or pastels. It was all a great price even after taxes. So for 5 items all picked out for me and shipped to my door I didn't think that the price was terrible at all. The items are much better quality items that what I normally purchase for myself but my clothes usually do not hold up because I buy cheaper items. 

Stitch Fix also sends you a card with ways to style each piece in 2-3 ways. Also, a breakdown of the cost of each item and a note from the stylist. :) 

I wasn't expecting for her to get my first box right but she nailed it! Definitely reordering sometime soon.
