April 2016 Stitch Fix Review

This is my favorite fix, yet! Let’s just dive right in and take a look.

Stitch Fix is a personal styling service. Your stylist will send you 5 pieces based on your profile for you to try on at home! There are no coupons for Stitch Fix but if you hit the jackpot and keep everything, you save 25% on your whole fix (read below for details).

Here’s how Stitch Fix works: fill out your style profile! This includes style, budget, what you’re looking for, and you can get as detailed as you want with the notes to your stylist. It really really does help to provide notes to what you’re seeking, and a Pinterest board if you have one.  You will be charged a $20 styling fee and shipped five items to try on at home. If you keep anything your styling fee will be applied to your order, but if you don’t, you will pay the $20 fee. This is so worth it. If you keep everything you get a 25% discount, so it pays off to be specific. You will check out and get charged through your Stitch Fix account. Every box includes a set of styling cards with suggestions on how to wear the particular item. There’s usually a dressed up and dressed down version for each piece of clothing.

See how nice the stylists are?  My quest for a green cardigan continues, but in the meantime, there are some really cute tops in my future…

41Hawthorn Carla Crochet Detail Blouse $58

Super cute, and I LOVE this shade of green.  Love.  The material is essentially a crepe – light but sturdy. The crochet detail keeps it from being too plain.

BRIXON IVY Jarred Lace Detail Cap-Sleeve Blouse $68

How gorgeous is this top? I love the blue, love the lace. Love, love, love. Of course, this also brings up one of my fashion questions for the ages: What kind of bra am I supposed to wear here? Strapless? Seems like overkill. Bright color that pops through? Nude? Clear straps? I don’t own the last two (don’t judge!), so where does that leave me?

41Hawthorn Benson 3/4 Ruched Sleeve Blazer $78

Nope.  Too small!  That’s as far closed as I could get it.  That being said , it is a nice casual blazer. More of a knit, less of a suiting material. And I love me some charcoal.  Oh well.

Skies Are Blue Arwin Cross Front Knit Top $54
I like this one a lot – for some reason I like the bright coral/pink color (I have a few tops in that shade already) – but I don’t think I like it enough for the price. It is a knit, feels more casual, etc. It was also a little snug on the middle. I do appreciate that the pattern masks that, and if I were keeping all of the other pieces, I would have considered going for a Keep All Five situation. But since the blazer is already out, I know this isn’t a Keep All Five situation. Alas.

41Hawthorn Renesme Geo Cube Print Faux Wrap Dress $78

Um…hello most awesome wrap dress in the world?  I love wrap dresses.  I love geometric prints. I love packable work dresses that clock in under $100. And a little poking around online shows that this comes in other patterns and colors, so I will definitely be asking for that in a future fix. And, it’s a small thing, but I love that the sash is tacked down in one spot so I know where it is supposed to go, and I won’t lose it.  It’s the little things.

I am very happy with the direction my stylist is going.  I love several items, and even though I am not keeping everything, even ending up with one or two items each fix feels great and keeps my wardrobe interesting!
