May 2016 Stitch Fix Review

May Stitch Fix Review

It’s time for my May Stitch Fix review! It has been a few months since I have done a Stitch Fix post, since I took off from posting for a bit while I was updating my website. I have still been getting boxes and I am still seriously obsessed with the service. My stylist, Layla, is my new best friend even though I have never met her or spoke to her in person… but she sends me the sweetest notes in my fix so I am pretty sure she feels the same way. 😉  I started to get very specific with what I wanted and she did comply, but I found she actually selected things I liked more than the items I thought I wanted. Last month, I got an adorable outfit that I would have never even tried on otherwise. (my husband LOVES when I try everything on, since he says it is fun to see me in different types of clothes than what I normally wear… and he also likes making fun of me in the stuff that he thinks is crazy. I still love him though, almost as much as I love Layla)

Stitch Fix Review

My Stitch Fix outfit I got last month… so cute!! (the top is by Skies are Blue and the jeans are Mavi)

I have recently started ‘peeking’ in on my fixes, since there is a way you can kind of cheat and see what you are getting before it actually arrives. The fabulous girls over on the Stitch Fix boards taught me that. If you have the Stitch Fix app (I think this feature only works on the iPhone version) when it says your item has shipped you can click the ‘checkout’ button and scroll through what you got. Then just click the back button and it won’t charge you or anything like that. I always say I am NOT going to peek since part of the fun is opening the box and having no idea what is inside, but now that I have learned this trick I simply do not have the willpower to wait.

Here’s what I got this month!

Daniel Rainn Sheera Split Neck Knit Top
I usually love tops like this, but I wasn’t crazy about this one. It was fine, but nothing special. It fit great though and I liked the fabric.

I call this my “I feel so awkward standing here while my husband takes my picture” face. #nailedit

OneMarket Kortney Knit Maxi Dress
I love black and I love maxi dresses so I thought this would be a win. But the top was a little too big and combine that with the holes along the neckline, and I was set up to easily flash people. Not the look I usually go for. This dress was so soft and really long which I loved, since I sometimes have trouble finding maxis that are long enough for me.

My sweet girl always there to help me out!

Maggy London Patrisha V-neck dress
I am normally anti-color and anti-pattern, so I was REALLY surprised when I was actually excited to see this in my peek. I really liked the style and look of this dress, but when I tried it on it just felt SO different for me. I knew I would never wear it. I posted my try-on pictures on my favorite Stitch Fix facebook page and this dress was a huge hit. I almost considered keeping it, which is why that page can mess with your mind a little bit. I suck at fashion, and all the girls on the board loved it and were very complimentary, which is so nice and I totally appreciate their opinions. I thought, maybe I SHOULD keep this $100 dress that I will never wear. I mean, it did have pockets, which is awesome. I slept on it… came to my senses and sent it back.

THML Chana Embroidered Dress
I was also really excited to see this one and even more excited when I tried it on! This is the perfect summer dress and different than anything else I have in my closet. So cute. Definite keeper.

LOVE this dress!

Sol Sana Tobi Fringe Heel
SHOES! I was so excited since this was my first pair of shoes sent to me in a fix. They were love at first sight, however they didn’t get along with my feet. They were somehow loose and tight at the same time. Boo. Sent back.

So this month I kept one dress, which is awesome since I LOVE LOVE it. I know some Stitch Fix gals who hope for a 5 for 5 every month, but I am honestly good with finding just a few good picks at a time. (my bank account prefers this as well) If you want to give Stitch Fix a try I would love it if you used my affiliate link!

  2. I’ve tried stitch fix too and usually love it, but wasn’t super impressed with my most recent one either. Love the dress you chose to keep & either way it’s hand picked & shipped to you, so always fun to try!

    • It made a huge difference once I found a stylist who listened to me.. I asked if I could get her every time and each fix gets better and better.. since she is starting to ‘get’ my style

      • I got that top in my fix, and loved it (especially the detailing on the black fabric). You look great in all of your items – – sometimes you just can’t keep them all!

  6. Your outfit from last month is awesome. Those jeans fit perfectly, and that is so hard to find. I love the dress that you kept this time too. Super cute and practical for the summer.

    • Yes I dont have any jeans like that either… I was so surprised by how much I liked the whole look!

    • thank you! I loved the shoes but they just didnt fit well and for that price they better be perfect! 🙂

    • We are soul sisters then since I love maxis! It was just too big on top, but I loved the length!! It was actually long enough for me which was amazing

  13. I am in love with that embrodered dress on you! Last month, I sent back my entire fix because it was a total bust…. two months in a row now! I’m nervous to try it again.

    • Do you have a pinterest fashion board for your stylist to look at? That helped me a lot and now that I have a stylist I love I request her every time. My sister in law hasnt had any luck either.. but she keeps trying since I am so obsessed and I keep telling her she just needs the right person!

  14. I am sad that you didn’t keep the Maggy London dress… but that’s me being selfish because I love it on you! But you know what? Since it wasn’t your style, you don’t have to worry since more clothes are coming in next month. YAS! 🙂

    • right and for 100 bucks I better love the dress! It was cute but I just knew I wouldnt wear it. 🙂

  15. I love Stitch Fix! I get clients all the time that need to adjust the fit on items they receive thru the mail which is perfectly normal since you are not there to try it on. Most of the time it’s the length adjustment. For the messages I get online I direct them to http://www.peanutsnthread.com so many helpful tips and tutorials on how to do it your self. It’s super way.

  19. don’t hate me but i kinda think you are so much cuter than those clothes – but i am one picky chick!

  21. Bummer that maxi dress didn’t fit you, it looked really cute! I just returned all five of my items 🙁
    It can be so hit or miss, and that’s disappointing since I fill out all the feedback in specific detail.

    • It turned around for me when I updated my fashion pinterest board and linked it to my style profile. and now that I have the same stylist each time she is getting to know my likes and dislikes 🙂

      Reply

    • You will love it and the more specific you get on your style profile the better stuff you will get. Linking my fashion board on pinterest helped a lot as well! Good luck you will love it!

      Reply

    • I could see myself getting obsessed like that! I am like.. “Maybe I should get two deliveries a month… ” ha!

      Reply

    • A lot of people liked that one as well, I just knew I wouldnt get very much wear out of it… and for $100 I better LOVE it! 😉

  26. I love everything you got – you look great! I love the dress you selected – so very awesome!

    I wish they had something like this here in Canada. I hate shopping and would love to have someone make some picks for me every month.

    Thanks for sharing!
    xoxo

  28. I’m obsessed with Stitch Fix!! Once you find the right stylist for you it makes a world of difference. I also noticed that once I started pinning from the Stitch Fix Pinterest board I had more success. LOVE the dress you kept!

  29. I’ve been always wanting to try stitch fix, but I’m super lazy about returning things so I feel like I would probably end up keeping everything every time. With that being said, I LOVE that dress you sent back! Haha I think it looks great on you too. I do like a lot of the other items too. The first shirt is really cute too!

  34. I always enjoy seeing other people’s fixes…found yours on the FB Stitch Fix Reviews page. I love that blue embroidered dress – super cute!
