Stitch Fix Review: My Second Fix

The time has come again for another Stitch Fix review - because I got another Stitch Fix box delivered right to my doorstep, duh! This is my second time receiving Stitch Fix (if you missed the first one check it out here) and overall the experience has been great! In case you haven't heard of Stitch Fix, or if you have but you're not quite sure how it works, here's the low-down: 
  • It's similar to the typical "subscription boxes" in that you never know what you're going to get - but it's BETTER because you get to choose your frequency (anywhere from every two weeks to only once or twice a year) and you get to choose your price point. 
  • You fill out your very own style profile and get your very own personal stylist who chooses your five items (jewelry, tops, bottoms, dresses, etc) and sends it right to your house for a $20 styling fee. 
  • It's NOT an all-or-nothing kind of deal - you chose the items you'd like to keep and send back the ones that didn't quite work out. The $20 styling fee is applied to your purchases! PLUS - if you buy all five items, you get 25% off the entire purchase. 
You get to send your stylist a little note before they start each fix, to let him/her know some things you would be interested in trying. This time around, I told my stylist I wanted cute, but casual/comfortable "summery" pieces that would also be useful for my upcoming trip to Canada. Here's what I got: 

PAPERMOON Ramona Ribbon Detail Blouse ($44)


When I pulled this top out of the box, I loved the color, but for some reason wasn't loving the all-over feel of the top. I couldn't put my finger on it because I generally like the flowy-style tops. I tried it on and it fit well, but something was still a little off about it. Even looking at the photos, I can see that it looks good and pairs well with the white denim, but ultimately it just isn't something that is my "style". I sent this top back.


THML Christen Embroidered Tie Neck Top ($54)
KUT FROM THE KLOTH Distressed Boyfriend Jean ($78)


I immediately loved this top before I even tried it on. First: I'm a big fan of embroidered styles (just check out my pinterest style board) and second, I'm a big fan of funky patterns and this top had both. I was a little wary of the fit - I know I just said that I liked "flowy style" tops but this one seemed a little too flow for me. Like a mumu. My husband, however, said that it looked good so I decided to keep it.


I'm not a jean-wearing gal. It's hard to find jeans that (1) cover my ass when I sit down and (2) fit both my thighs and my waist. I currently own two pairs of jeans that I wear semi-regularly. I much prefer palazzo pants, maxi skirts, and dresses. BUT I have really been digging the "boyfriend" jean trend. Unfortunately, these were just a little too big all around, so I sent them back.

EZRA Brianna Dress ($88)
I knew before I even got this dress all the way unfolded that I didn't think I would like it. Then I put it on. The cut wasn't right, the sleeves felt odd, and it was itchy. Hard pass on this dress. I did like the cutout/lacy style but the high neck and boxy shoulders made me feel like I was a Mennonite.

MARKET AND SPRUCE Dafne Chevron Maxi Dress ($88)



I think my exact reaction when pulling this dress out of the box was, "Oooohhh, mama likey" or something similar. The reaction when trying it on was pretty much exactly the same. Maxi dress: check. Stretchy material: check. Stripes: check. Great color combo: check. Kept this without thinking twice.


My favorite part about receiving fixes is the surprise factor - you really never know what you're going to get. My stylist chooses things I wouldn't normally choose for myself, and I really like that because sometimes it's something I end up loving. I feel like my stylist is starting to get a taste for the things I like and the things I don't particularly care for. I don't think I'll continue on an every-other-month basis, just because due to my job, I rarely wear "real clothes" to work, and I really don't need all that much. I'll probably get my next fix when it starts cooling down and my fall/winter wardrobe needs updating!

Have you ever tried Stitch Fix? Would you have kept anything from this fix?
