Stitch Fix Review! March 2015

My Stitch Fix came!

This is actually my third Stitch Fix, but my first one since I started my blog. If you want to know more about how Stitch Fix works, visit my post about it here.

My first Stitch Fix was AMAZING. They sent me literally the cutest dress I have ever seen in my whole life, and all I want is for it to stop snowing so I can wear it. I loved four out of five things, so I kept all 5 to get the 25% discount, and then sold the too-short dress to my friend Jenn, so everybody won.

My second Stitch Fix was sort of a bust. I was bummed. I felt like my stylist really didn't listen to me, sending me things like a horrible sleeveless shirt, a huge beige sweater, and low-rise skinny jeans. No thank you. But I had a lot of credit from people signing up using my link, and the first one had been so fun, that there was no question in my mind that it was worth trying again.

And today my third one came! I had requested a new stylist, and she did a great job. (If you're reading this, hi Amber!) I had asked for something to wear for Passover, and while I'm not sure anything she sent will work for that, I'm very happy with what I got.

When your box comes, it's all wrapped up nicely like this:



It really feels like you're getting a present, albeit one you have to pay for. Isn't it beautiful? I opened the box and found the styling card. I haven't used mine much, although maybe I should in the future. They suggest different ways to wear the items you've been sent.


So without further delay, here's what I got!

Street Level Demi Fold Over Vegan Leather Crossbody Bag in Brown- $48





I wasn't super into this bag. I think I got it because I had pinned a brown crossbody bag on Pintrest, but I liked that one much better than this one. I didn't like the rectangular shape very much, and I'm not really a gold person. I'm not a clutch carrier, and as soon as I saw the gold hooks to turn it into a crossbody bag, I knew I was unlikely to use it. I didn't hate it, but it wasn't great.

What do you think? Is this worth adding to my wardrobe?

Loveappella Shella Knit Top in Red- $54




The second thing in my box was this red 3/4 sleeve top from Loveappella. For the money, I would have expected the knit to be a little thicker. My favorite part of the shirt was the back detail. It's hard to find interesting details on shirts that also adhere to my standards of modesty. I also like the color. I wear a lot of blue and green, so it's nice to have some red. 



(Check out my new haircut! Much overdo.) The shirt is super comfortable, so that's a plus. Looking at the pictures, I'm not totally sure it's flattering, though. Not bad, but not the best thing I've ever worn. What do you think-- keep or return?

Gilli Emmie Cross Front Dress in Purple- $68




My stylist had suggested this as an option for Passover. I think it's too casual- it's a lightweight jersey knit- but it's a great dress for work, or even for a summer Sunday. It's about the shortest that I would ever wear, but it's right in there, so we're good to go.



I'm Superman!
Things I love about this: Purple. I love purple. Also, it's super soft and lightweight. Shaina, my kind photographer, suggested I could also add a belt, so I will definitely give that a try. It needs a tank underneath, but that's no problem. I think probably black or brown, rather than white, though. Thoughts? Do you agree that this is a keeper?

Loveappella Yana 3/4 Sleeve Striped Dress in Navy- $64




This dress was the saddest part of this fix for me. It was soft. It was adorable. It fit perfectly. It had pockets! It had sleeves! It was... about 3 inches too short. I tried it on with a navy skirt underneath, but it looked weird. Can anyone think of a way I can style this so I can keep it and not look stupid? If not, it has to go back. Sad Rachel.

Renee C Dalia Split Neck Top in Navy- $48




This was my favorite thing in this fix. I loved it so much and just prayed that it fit. And then I tried it on and...



It did! Love, love, love. This is a great example of why I love Stitch Fix. I would have seen this in the store, loved it, thought it was too hippie-ish, and then never picked it up. But here, I put it on, because it was already in my house, and it was love. I am super into the pattern and I like that the cut is loose but not baggy. It needs a cami underneath, but that's easy, and it offers great coverage but will be super lightweight for summer. (I've noticed that Stitch Fix has a great array of 3/4 sleeve shirts. I've gotten at least one in each Fix.) I don't need your opinion on this one. It's staying!

So that's my third fix. What do you think? Leave comments to help me decide what to keep! And if you want to try Stitch Fix, use my link so you get cute clothes and I get a referral credit! Everyone wins!
