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.
Let a stylist shop for you!
