It's called Stitch Fix and they basically shop for you. You sign up and then fill out a quick questionnaire that helps the stylist get a sense of your style. There are regular questions and then they have a collage of pictures that have a theme and you rate how much you like it. You can also add links to your Pinterest boards as more supporting evidence. They pick out 4-5 items to you every month if you pick the recurring service all for a $20 styling fee.
Once you receive your fix, you get three business days to try on and decide what to keep. The styling fee is applied as a credit to your purchase if you end up keeping anything. Otherwise you lose it. If you keep all the items, you get a 25% discount on all items.
I think that covers everything. So on to my fix!
I came home to a cute little box and was so excited.
The box has everything nearly packages up. In addition, to my items, there was a brief not from my stylist and a nifty card that had outfit ideas for each item they chose for me. This is great if you have difficulty working in new items with your current wardrobe. The best part of getting the items at home for three days allows you to try on different outfits with clothes you already own.
So the first item was a bib necklace. It looked cute in the box, but I wasn't going to pay $40 for it. It went back. You can see it on me with one of my outfit picks below.
The other items I received were a black faux leather jacket, black pants, a red plaid tank, and a lavender halter top.
The black faux leather jacket was too big and boxy on me. I like my clothes a bit more fitted. I already own a black faux leather jacket (actually two though I only wear one), so I don't need a third. The fit alone would have made me return it either way.
The black pants were ok except I had just bought a cheaper pair at Nordstrom rack the week before. They fit really well and I liked the length. They were pretty pricy at $99 for elastic waistband pants with no pockets. It's going back.
The red plaid tank was cute and it fit well. I really liked the pattern and the pockets. I did not like that it that it didn't have a collar. I felt like I could only wear it with a cardigan and I hate having to restrict my clothes like that especially if I have to pay full price.
The last top, the lavender one, was so terrible that it doesn't even warrant a photo. Everything was just wrong. It made me look broad in the shoulders. It tented and made me look pregnant. No, no, NO!
So everything went back. Womp womp. It's ok though. It was fun to try even though I lost my $20. I would try it again. Maybe to find a dress for my brother's wedding.
