Stitch Fix Review #3

2014-01-18_0003

Yay!  Stitch Fix time!  I was super excited to get my 3rd fix this past week.  I scheduled it a week before my birthday so it would be like an early birthday gift to myself if I decided to keep one (or two or three) pieces from it.

Unfortunately, that extra funds allocation won’t be necessary this time.  :'(  They aren’t bad pieces per se, just nothing that excites me or that I need/want.  Possibly partly my fault.  I haven’t been very vocal beforehand about what I want/don’t want.  Partially because I don’t want to miss out on a great piece because I said I don’t want *insert random clothing piece* in my box and partially because I don’t want to be a PITA.   Live and learn I suppose!

41Hawthorn Bindy Fit and Flare Ponte Dress, $78

DSC_1503-Edit

Thoughts:  Not loving the thicker material and long sleeves seeing as it’s 80 degrees outside right now.  It fits nicely though.  Better than I expected actually and the color is beautiful.  But, I don’t wear a ton of dresses and it’s pretty hot and humid here 8 months out of the year, I would be sweating like crazy in this!

Ultimately:  Sent back.  I’m looking forward to summer and wearing flowy, lightweight dresses/skirts.

41Hawthorn Toshi Contrast Detail Longsleeve Blazer, $88

DSC_1523-Edit

Thoughts:  I wasn’t too excited about this one since I already have a black blazer in my closet and the fact that I don’t wear blazers that often in the summer.  Surprisingly it fit pretty nicely and the polka dots on the lining are adorable!

Ultimately:  Sent back.  I might have been tempted to replace my current blazer with this one, but the inside lining seemed to stick to my clothing a little and get discombobulated so I had to pass.

Kensie Jeans Sophia Distressed Skinny Jean, $88

DSC_1517-Edit

Thoughts:  I would have died for these not too long ago, but I just bought a pair of deconstructed denim a few months back.  I tried them on anyways and while they weren’t bad, the fit was a little tight and they were too long.

Ultimately:  Sent back.  I like the Old Navy rockstars I just bought better.

Kut From The Kloth Marquis Slub Knit Dolman Sweater, $48

DSC_1537-Edit

Thoughts:  It’s not amazing, but I like that it’s lightweight and loose fitting.  I could see myself wearing it over my bathing suit maybe with a pair of shorts.  But it’s still a sweater..in Florida..in April.

Ultimately:  Kept.  The top 3 items were definite no’s and seeing that I didn’t want to forfeit my $20 box fee, it was between the sweater or the necklace below for the piece I kept.

Bay to Baubles Toby Gem Stone Statement Necklace, $36

DSC_1541-Edit

Thoughts:  The gold is kinda brassy, but the colors are pretty and it’s different from anything I have in my jewelry box.

Ultimately:  Sent back.  I don’t see myself wearing it.  Plus, I let my husband choose which one I should keep between the necklace and the sweater above…he chose the sweater.  😉

So, there you have it.  Now you understand what I meant when I said they weren’t bad pieces, just not for me.   I’m not hatin’.  I still love Stitch Fix.  I just think I need to tweak my profile for next time.  I’ll probably request no more jeans and maybe no more workwear/business pieces.

Comments

  1. It’s a shame the dress was too hot. That color is amazing on you and it fits really well.
    I like the sweater you kept!

    • If it would have been the beginning of fall, I would have likely kept it. I do like the sweater, but I’m just not sure how much I’ll wear it. We shall see though! 🙂

  2. Cindy Conn says:

    I have received 2 Fixes so far and have been somewhat disappointed in them. I got black jeans in both, after I said I already have black jeans in my first fix feedback. So I did contact them about this, because I felt the stylist didn’t read my feedback or style profile. I love the concept and will try for a 3rd! At the very least, it’s good to keep one item so the style fee doesn’t go to waste. I love old navy rockstar jeans too! And at a way better price!! Hope you get a good Fix:)

    • Ugh, Cindy. I’m sorry your fixes weren’t that great. 🙁 I’ve had a little bit of a mixed bag of fixes. I always give detailed feedback, but I’m not sure they take that into account with your next fix so this time I put what I do/don’t want into the comment section for my next fix I also changed my style profile a little and started a new pinterest board specifically for Stitch Fix. I scheduled my next fix for early June so we’ll see how that one goes! I do think as they grow and tweak their business that it will get better. They seem to be really open to hearing what went wrong and trying to fix it.

      The Rockstar jeans are amazing, aren’t they?! I don’t know why it took me so long to try them. I have two pair that I got on sale, so they were $20 each or something crazy like that, and I wear them ALL the time!

      Thanks so much for stopping by and taking the time to comment!! I’d love to hear how your next fix goes so please come back and update me. 🙂

      Katie

  1. […] Fix I was pretty disappointed, so I decided that I needed to be a little more specific on the notes for my stylist this time. […]
