Get Your Friday Fix – StitchFix Review

Happy Friday! I don’t know about you, but I’m MORE than ready for the weekend. I know last weekend was technically a long weekend, but with all the travel and wedding festivities, I didn’t fit in much relaxation. I’m ready for some fun in my own state this weekend! And I get to meet this girl tonight – a recent Colorado addition!

But before we start the weekend, I thought I’d finally do another review of Stitch Fix! Since my original review in early May, I’ve had two boxes that I want to share with you – the first (box 4) from the end of May, the second (box 5) from this week.

First is my 4th Stitch Fix box

I got this box just before vacation, so we quickly shot some photos before getting back to preparations.

What did I keep? Get your mental votes ready….

1 – Yep!! This shirt looks awesome layered under a jacket at work or a sweater on cool evenings. Or by itself, actually!

2 – This sweater doesn’t look amazing in the photo, but I promise it’s great in person. Maybe a little long for my height, but I love it too much to care. The colors, the pattern, and the texture of this shirt are amazing.

3 – Love, Love, Love these earrings!! I have worn these a million times already.

4 – I had a hard time deciding on this sweater, but ultimately decided I have too many stripes right now and it wasn’t my absolute favorite.

5 – I’m not going to sugar-coat it; this skirt was AWEFUL! Eifel towers on a terrible cut skirt…wow. I don’t know what anyone was thinking with this one.

Next up is my 5th Stitch Fix box

I scheduled this one to arrive my first full day back in Colorado – something to look forward to as life got back to normal. I actually got the “shipped” email in Atlanta and was so excited.

What would you have kept? Before I tell you what I decided, I have to say this was one of my favorite boxes. I got 3 tops, a necklace, and a dress. I loved getting so many tops this month – it was a fun change of pace!

1 – I think this picture shows how AWESOME this top is! The cut is incredibly flattering, it’s a color I don’t wear often, and the studs make it look like I’m almost wearing a long necklace. I love this, one of my new favorite tops!

2 – I really like this top, but it’s even better layered! I wore this to work today layered under the shirt my sister got us to wear on the morning of her wedding (embroidered with my initials – very southern!) and with the pearls I wore in the wedding. I was pretty excited about how I styled this one.

3 – I actually really liked this necklace, I was so excited when I opened the box. Unfortunately, I have nothing in my closet that matched (other than a white shirt), so I decided not to keep it this time. A little sad actually!

4 – You can tell from the picture, but this shirt was just too boxy for me. It was so cute in the styling photos, but not flattering on me. I wish it had some shape at the waist, so I sent this one back too.

5 – Such a great dress! This is so comfortable, airy, and flattering. As you saw on Instagram earlier this week, I paired it with a pair of brown heels & brown belt for work on Wednesday. I like this dress because I can wear it either to work or on the weekend!

If you’re keeping score – that’s 3 out of 5 in each box. That seems to be typical for me and it’s a pretty good percentage for me. I am absolutely in love with Stitchfix and had to restrain myself from ordering a second box this month. My next “fix” is scheduled for August 2nd!!

If you’re thinking of getting your own Stitch Fix, do it!! And use my link, so that I can get more Stitch Fix credits and feed my addiction. Hey, I’m honest, right?!  As I said in my original review, this is not a budget clothes program, but it’s a great way to get quality clothes that you probably wouldn’t have found on your own. Especially great for those of us who hate to shop, but love to look good!

Questions for you:

  • Would you have made the same choices I did or something different?
  • What is your favorite piece of clothing in your closet right now?
