After signing up what seemed like FOREVER ago, I finally got my first Stitch Fix! (Learn more here.) Basically, stylists hand pick five clothing items and accessories to match your taste, budget and lifestyle each month based on style profile you fill out, Pinterest boards you have, etc. Keep what you want, send back what you don’t want within three days. Pretty genius, right? It’s kind of similar to Le Tote, which I’ve tried recently as well, but there are some differences (I plan to write a post comparing the two and which I like better). In the meantime, I wanted to do a Stitch Fix review!
My first fix arrived and I was SO excited…by the way, there is a $20 styling fee that you are charged when you monthly fix ships…but that $20 fee is applied as credit towards anything you keep (and if you keep all five items, you get 25% off!) I had a $20 perk from Klout, so this fix was free!
All items are hand picked and contained a personalized note about why your stylist picked the items they did- very cool touch! A list of the items and their prices was also included, along with little “style flash cards” which give you a ideas on how to wear the items in a couple ways- loved that!
To start, I got a couple dresses. One was a blue Farah Fit & Flare Striped Dress ($68). The dress was too small on me, but I regardless, I really don’t care for fit & flare dresses because they never seem to flatter my figure.
The one on the right is the Cadee Strip Cap Sleeve Fitted Dress ($158).
I loved this dress- a fun, unique fit and great pattern! It fit like a glove, but I was one big meal away from not fitting in it! I would have kept this dress out of all my pieces, but I couldn’t see myself paying $158 for a dress. It’s just not gonna happen.
Next up was a coral Filbert 2/4 Sleeve Popover Blouse ($58). It was super cute and comfy but I feel like I already have enough popovers in my closet. Then there was a Pashma Lurez Detailed Boucle Moto Jacket ($88). I am always on the lookout for fun jackets/blazers for work, but it was way too short on my torso and itched like CRAZY! The Julia Flower Gem Statement Necklace ($38) rounded out the shipment. Absolutely gorgeous but a little too fancy for work I felt.
So there you have it! While I ended up not keeping anything, I essentially got this first fix free so no harm there. I do think the quality of the pieces are quite nice and fit my style. I was able to give detailed feedback to my stylist when sending back the items so I’m excited to see what I will get in my next shipment!
Want to try out Stitch Fix for yourself? It’s just $20 a month for the styling fee (which turns into a credit for anything you keep in your shipment for that month!) Sign up here. (and in full disclosure, I do get some referral credit- so thank you in advance!)
Have you every tried Stitch Fix? Love it or hate it? Have you tried any other clothing box subscriptions- how does it compare?

One big meal away, lol! I really like that dress with the stripes! Too bad all their stuff seems soooo expensive. That is a huge deterrent for me (I mean, come on, I shop at Kohl’s).
P.S. I am not sure if it’s my computer settings but I am having a hard time reading the gray on white background. I had to highlight the text to see it. I must be getting old. LOL!
I don’t think I adjusted the price range on my profile before they selected my items. Now I adjusted mine to be “as cheap as possible” so I’m excited to see what I get now!
And thank you for the heads up on the blog text! Erin just helped me adjust it. Can you read the text better on your screen? And are you able to see the gray background? (Previously, I wasn’t able to see a gray background at all on my screen, and the text was fine so anxious to hear what you are seeing now!)
The striped dress is definitely cute, but I agree that price tag is way too much! I won’t even pay that much for a special occasion dress! I can’t wait to read your comparison review between Stitch Fix and Le Tote!
Oh I loved the stripe one! You looked so fab in it….but alas, you should be applauded for your control over the wallet. But if you change your mind and keep it- I support that. Looks amaze on you.
I’ve used Stitch Fix before and gotten some great things from it. However, I agree that sometimes the sizes are a bit off and the prices can be too high. Especially since I think sometimes they pick items that are from last season. Or, at least, I can never find them online to try and price compare. But, if you like boutique shopping but don’t have any boutiques near you or you just literally do not have time to update your wardrobe, then Stitch Fix is great.
Thanks for sharing all the details, these do look like cute pieces, but definitely pricey.
I loved that dress on you but yes at $158, that’s a lot of money!!!!! Well now you know you can rock a striped bandage dress!!!!!!
Agi:)
