I have heard bloggers & friends talking about Stitch Fix forever. I knew it was a clothing delivery service where they send you items selected by a “stylist” and then you keep what you like and send back what you don’t. To be honest, I had ZERO interest in trying this out. When it comes to my clothes I am super boring and basic. When I find a pair of pants or jeans I love, I buy 4 pairs. When I find a top I like I buy it in every color. (as long as that “color” is black, white, navy or grey) Also, I am really picky. It is hard to find clothes that fit me properly or are long enough since I am tall.
As you know, my big mantra for the new year is #MoreMEin2016. So when the woman from Stitch Fix emailed me, I decided NOT to immediately delete it. I never had time to shop for myself, and I did want to try to step up my style, at least a little bit. Since it wouldn’t cost me anything to give it a try, I figured I had nothing to lose.
I got my first ‘fix’ at the beginning of December and did a periscope about it. There were a few items I immediately liked and others I didn’t. I was so busy that I didn’t take pictures or anything. I was shocked to find that everything fit… and I really liked 3 out of the 5 items. (I ended up keeping 2) One of the dresses that I didn’t like AT ALL when I saw it, actually looked so nice on that I decided to keep it.
I was really looking forward to this month’s fix, but it was kind of a disappointment. I really liked one top, but the rest just wasn’t for me.

I am going to continue using this service, since I they do a pretty good job selecting items that I would like and everything they have sent has fit so far. To be honest, it is also really fun getting a box full of clothes in the mail, especially since I never have time to go to the mall. It is a nice treat. Also, my friends have told me that the longer you use the service the better they get to know you and your style, and the better your deliveries. I updated my “mommy style” board on Pinterest, so that should help my stylist. I’ll keep you posted! In the meantime, if you want to try StitchFix for yourself, here’s my referral link!
Have you ever used Stitch Fix? What did you think?
This seems like a great service. The outfits are really cute. I don't buy many clothes online because I like to go to the stores and try them on. I am glad this works for you.
I do most of my shopping online, since I never have time to get to stores, but I usually order from the same 2 or 3 places since I know what fits me. I am VERY surprised that everything they have sent me has fit!
That is fun to get a box of clothes every month. This looks like an interesting service.
I didnt think i would like it as much as I have!
Stitch Fix has been everywhere lately! It sounds like so much fun! I love the top you're wearing in the pic! I'm so curious what they would pick out for me. I tend to be pretty boring!!
I am so boring too!! My survey was like, "I hate colors, I hate prints, I hate trendy things" haha My first box was really good, I was so surprised, I should have take pics of that one, but I was crazy busy
I am super thrifty, so I know most of the SF items wouldn't be keepers for me… BUT when I worked for this big agency, I would see all the packages come through and have to email people to pick them up. Whenever there was a SF I would make the person open it at my desk so I could see everything – haha! Like a little fashion show at work!
They ARE expensive, not gonna lie, esp since I usually spend less than 20 for a shirt, but I really need new clothes so if I love the item I am willing to treat myself (for now)
I have heard about this service in the past!! Great outfits!! Being a working mom myself, I should consider trying them out!! Thank you for sharing!!
You can probably relate to never having time to go to the mall!! ha! This has been a nice treat so far, even just getting 1 new item is a win for me!
I have that cardigan in a coral color and I'm actually wearing it right now! It's one of my favorite items I've ever gotten in a fix.
I really debated on keeping that one, it was the perfect fit and so lightweight, perfect for work.. but in the end I sent it back.
I have seen this service floating around, and wondered if it was worthwhile. I am pretty picky so I am not sure if this would work for me. You however look super-cute!
I am very picky too, but I think this is a good way to expand my style so I try to have an open mind. I am such a boring dresser… so this is a fun way to get me to try things I would never usually pick up in a store.
A good friend of mine recently was telling me to start something like this up as a business and was convinced there is nothing out there already! I told her there was so will be sure to show her this. It does look good especially for those who don't have time to shop x
Yeah it is a fun way to get a mini closet update every month, I would love to see more services like this, so let me know if you and friend decide to try it! 😉
Very interesting and honest post about this service. It's certainly intriguing. But I love to shop too.

I love to shop too, but I never have time! ha! Also, the older I get, the more boring my style has become, so this is a fun way to switch up my normal looks.
I've never used StitchFix for myself but I really enjoy reading other people's reviews of the service. I just love shopping too much, I think the service would just enable my addiction, hehe.
I used to love shopping too, but I never get to the mall anymore and I am sick of target and old navy! ha!
I love my stitch fix subscription! When I first started using it it took awhile to find the right stylist but once I did I have loved all her picks!
Thats what everyone keeps telling me.. and I am trying to do better at sharing my style, which is why I updated my pinterest page. I am going to give them at least a chance.. I mean 3 items in 2 fixes is really good, I think!
I always buy clothes online, too, so this sounds like an interesting concept to me! Thanks for sharing.
It is just fun since it helps you try things out of what you normally wear. (which is something I am trying to do right now!)
Love my stitch fix!! It took me a couple stylists before they got it "right". However, once you really click, and they are seeing what you want its amazing!!!
Thats is what everyone has been telling me, so I am going to give them a change!
I love seeing people's Stitch Fixes. I've never tried it because I shop way too much, but I'm very tempted .
it is lots of fun! 😉
I'm jealous! I would LOVE to try this. I love the teal coloured items in the image you showed. The next time you get a box, please scope again so I can check it out!
(and yes, I know you scoped about it before. I just missed it). Hoping you get more items you like!
I will def scope the next one.. I would have scoped this second one but I was working nights and when I got home I just wanted to open it!
How fun!! I tried it out for 2 months and it wasn't for me but I still love the idea!
The first one was really good, this one was so-so.. but I am going to give it a chance since it is so convenient for me!
Great post! Yes, I'd feel the same way… I am sooo picky about my clothes. To the point where my family wont even try to buy me clothes. I just have a very specific style that they don't always have an eye for. Maybe this program would though… sounds neat. A bit scary but could go either way 🙂

haha see I am picky, but I have NO style.. so anything is an improvement for me. It would be neat to see what they would select for you though!
I have been doing Stitch Fix for about a year. I don't get the boxes that often anymore and I suspended myself from boxes for most of the fall. Overall good, although I had to beat it into my stylist that IT. DOES. NOT. GET. COLD. IN. SOUTH. TEXAS. Maybe I will get brave enough to review my box and take pictures next time. I see a lot of bloggers doing that and I kind of want to, but I'm so camera shy/self conscious.
Yes they sent me sweaters in both boxes.. I'm like, "Hello.. South Florida over here!" ha! I didnt take pics in the stuff I didnt keep since I just think that is strange, and I feel uncomfortable with fashiony pics too.
All these Stitch Fix review posts I've been seeing lately, have me thinking it's time to commit and give it a try. I love nearly everything I see others getting! – Katy
it is so much fun! Give it a go! 🙂
This seems like such a great service for moms everywhere. Can't shop, let someone else do it for you.
I am enjoying it so far, it is very convenient and I think they've done a pretty good job!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE it! It's so exciting to get that box in the mail. I have great pieces from Stitch Fix. Good luck & keep fixin'! ??
I am going to stick with it for now! It is so much fun to get!
I was asked to review this and I was so on the fence since I had never heard of it before so I ended up saying no… Now that I have seen afew bloggers, you included and some pretty chic and awesome outfits… Idk I think I totally missed out!
They send pretty good stuff.. it is at least fun getting a box full of clothes! ha!
I started using Stitch Fix when I was pregnant and they did an AMAZING job of sending me clothes that fit my belly but I COULD WEAR AFTER I HAD THE BABY! I continued with my monthly fix post baby and things started getting weird. I would say NO PATTERNS and get ALL PATTERNS. The clothes always fit, but they completely deviated from my style. I should have asked for a different stylist, but I got lazy and just stopped altogether….before I had a closet full of patterns…
