If you saw my first Stitch Fix post, you know I was hesitant to even try it. I really liked my first delivery, but I wasn’t crazy about it last month. They emailed me with some tips to help me get a better fix and it definitely worked.
Here are a 5 tips to get a perfect stitch fix delivery:
1. Take time with your style profile: Your style profile is what your stylist goes back to the most, so make sure it is as accurate as possible. If you really don’t want accessories or shoes, say that. Also, don’t fudge the truth when it comes to your clothing sizes. I know lots of friends who admitted to me that their 1st fix didn’t fit since they put a smaller pants or dress size then they really were.
2. Leave detailed notes: Your stylist wants to make you happy, so tell them what you want. For example, if you have an event coming up be sure to tell them the specific items you are looking for. In March, I am hosting a baby shower and we also host Easter, so I asked my stylist for ALL dresses in the next fix.
3. Link up a Pinterest board: I finally updated my “Mommy Fashion” board and I think that made a huge difference for me this fix. (my stylist specifically referenced items on there in her note to me) Explaining what you like is important, however it is much easier to get a ‘feel’ of your style by seeing what you pin to your fashion boards.
4. Be honest: If you want Stitch Fix to work, you need to be brutally honest. When keeping or sending back items, in addition to the questions they ask, there is also a spot for notes. Be very specific in telling your stylist why you didn’t like an item. Was it the fit? The color? The clearer you are, the better your next fix will be!
5. Don’t be afraid to pick favorites: If you find a stylist you love, tell them! I loved this month’s fix so much I asked for her to style me again. Not everyone has the same style and there is nothing wrong with preferring a certain stylist.
Now to the best part… my latest fix! I was obsessed with what they sent me this month. I knew right away when I saw the 2 tops that I would love them. They are total ‘Me’ shirts and they both fit perfectly.

I wasn’t too sure about the pants, and I would have never selected them if I saw them in a store… however the fit is amazing. They are so comfy and work well for the office and the weekend. I know I will get a ton of use out of them. Also, I did look up the brand and found the exact same pants for $10 MORE on Nordstrom.com. (I am always on the hunt for the best prices)
I also got a necklace in this month’s fix, which I love. But thanks to Rocksbox I have a ton of accessories, so I decided to take accessories off of my style profile.

| All the items in my fix! |
They sent me a dress and I could have sworn it was the same one they sent me in my 1st fix. When I tried it on, I spotted a tiny tear near the arm/shoulder area. I emailed customer service about the hole and the fact that I was disappointed that it was the same dress I had previously sent back. (since I wanted to buy all the items to get the extra 25% off) They wrote me back the very next day (on a SUNDAY!) saying they were sorry about the rip and they checked and the dresses were not the same, but he admitted they were very similar. He told me to send the dress back and they would give me the 25% off if I wanted to keep the other 4 items. (which I did)
The kind and quick way they handled my email is what turned me into a real Stitch Fix fan. When you have good customer service you have my heart… for real. I may have started as a skeptic, but now I am a totally Stitch Fix fan girl. Here’s how I styled my looks from this month’s fix.

I love stitch fix because it is stuff that I wouldn't even think to try on in a store. It is really fun to try new things but I love all of your tips to get a good fix. I'd rather get something I like than sending it all back!
That is why I love it too, I am pretty boring style-wise and this helps me switch it up!
I need to try it out! All of your stuff looks so cute!

I am obsessed. Making the pinterest board made a huge difference, for me at least.
I loved your scope on this! And I LOVE that lace top! Looks great on you. I'm definitely interested in checking this out, I feel like I'd have better luck with this subscription 🙂
Thank you! You will love this… it is such a fun way to switch up your style!
SUPER cute! I love so many of these items! What great finds – I totally agree too that customer service is everything!
YES! They were so prompt and pleasant… so rare to find that these days.
More than anyone else, YOU make me want to try Stitch Fix because you're honest. It's easy to trust someone you know won't just spend anything on an outfit. The grey top looks waaaay cuter on you than I imagined. I knew that dress was similar too. Kudos to them for admitting it and getting back to you so soon. Love it!
Yes, I can't lie.. I worry about bad karma! ha!
Got my first StitchFix box in January and I really liked three of the pieces but was on the fence about the other two. I thought about keeping them because I didn't hate them, but realized I would rather love every piece. I need these tips to make sure next month's box is awesome. – Katy
Yes I think loving every item is super important.
These are great tips!! I started my pinterest board just for my stitch fix!!
It made a huge difference for me! I think the pinterest board is super important and helpful for your stylist!
I've never used Stich Fix, but your outfits are very cute! I love the polka dot top! 🙂
I love it too… I got tons of compliments on when I wore it last week! 🙂
Cute Cute Cute! Love your shoes too! I want to try it!
I got those flats at old navy!! They are super comfy! You would love Stitch Fix!
Cute tops! There's nothing better than someone shopping for you!
Esp since I never go to the mall anymore! This is such a convenient way to switch up my looks!
Great tips! I'll have to try this out at some point when I need more awesome clothes!
You will love it… I think it is the most convenient thing ever!
Before my last fix, I went back and re-did my style profile as thoughtfully as I could! My most recent fix was my favorite one; I felt like my stylist really got me and made some amazing choices!

Yes, for my first fix I kind of just filled it out quickly and didnt bother with Pinterest. But taking the time to do them really helps me out in the long run… and this fix was my favorite as well!
That's what worries me about stylist! Swear they always have a different idea than I do on what would look fab on me! Glad they have pretty fast customer service. That's rare these days!
I am super boring when it comes to clothes, so I actually like seeing what they select and I want it to be different that what I usually wear! ha!
Love the tips and how cute the clothes look!
Thank you! It is a fun service for sure!
This look really exciting and something right up my alley…I love the idea of having a personal stylist!
I do too, esp since I dont ever have time to shop for myself!
awesome! beauty-ous!
Ha! You're cute! 🙂
Okay. I love all of it, but that shirt you're wearing with Mila is my fave. I really want to try this at some point!
It is so comfy too! You would love this, esp having two young kids… you know it is impossible to get to the mall!
Are you in any of the StitchFix Facebook groups? That's honestly where I've learned the most about getting a 5/5 fix!
NO! I need to get into some.. I didnt even know there WERE Stitch Fix Facebook groups! ha!
I've been wanting to try Stitch Fix forever but I've been too nervous. your post makes me feel more confident. (and those clothes look SO cute on you!)
I was so hesitant, since I am really picky, but it is SO much FUN! I am hooked!
Oh wow! Nice to let someone else pick the clothes for you…and excellent tips, because it's always better when you love what's in the box!
yes, after following these suggestions my fix was awesome! I should have done this from the start 😉
Cool. I've never heard of this site. The outfits look great. I love the concept. It reminds me of something I saw on Shark Tank. P.S. I hear awesome things about snapchat, but I can't handle another social media live stream. I'm still trying to conquer periscope. lol.
I waited forever before finally caving and getting it last month, now I am a snapchat addict.
Okay, that's it. I am going to take the plunge and try this out! I LOVE your outfits!
You WON'T regret it! It is so so much fun, I am totally addicted.
Great tips! I've been wanting to try it out!!
