About a month ago, my dear friend Ashley posted about her Stitch Fix experience. At first, I thought, "Oh, it's just another one of those subscription boxes...not my thing" - however, since this had to do with clothing, it piqued my interest just enough to do some actual research. Here's what I found:
* You complete a pretty in-depth style profile online.
* Stitch Fix sends you five items each month based on those parameters.
* You try it all on, and return what you don't want.
So, last week. my first order arrived, and I certainly learned a lot.
* I paid an initial $20 styling fee, which was deducted from my bill after I decided what I wanted to keep.
* All items ranged in price from $40-$98. (This was a little high, but I want to give it a few months and see if it's worth it.)
* The return postage was already paid for.
And to be perfectly honest, I thought the style and quality of the items was pretty close to my taste.
Right off the bat, there were a few items I decided not to keep right away:

(While this sweater was a pretty color, it was sheer. And $98, because it's from Free People. If I am going to pay that much, I want the whole sweater.)

(Same goes for this top. Luckily, I was able to request "no sheer" for my next shipment.)
These were the items I seriously considered:

(I thought this was adorable! This top was perfect with jeans, and fit nicely with my growing belly.)

(I LOVED this wrap bracelet! I don't have anything like it.)
However, I decided to buy this dress:

(You can't tell, but this sundress comes with a thin belt. Also, it will fit me with and without a baby belly.)
What do you think? Did I make the right call? Have you ever participated in a similar program?
I got a GILT deal for Cake Style - similar idea. $150 for $300 credit. I fear the prices will be outrageous. It may be a one and done. I will let you know!
ReplyDeleteI really like that dress and it will most definitely come in handy with a growing belly!!!
ReplyDeleteLove that dress, especially because it'll accommodate that belly of yours. That white top is super cute too!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I am totally emailing you back today, promise!
The dress is perfect! You look great. The top and bracelet are also adorable, I don't understand sheer clothing either honestly. Hopefully your next box is a perfect match :)
ReplyDeleteLove the dress, think it will be great for you this summer! Bracelet is also fabulous. I definitely would have passed on the two sheer items. I guess sheerness has it place, but not at a high price point in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that dress on you! It really is perfect and you'll get twice the wear out of it!
ReplyDeleteI think you definitely made the right choice - that dress looks fabulous on you and you can definitely grow into it. Love that whitish top too tho.
ReplyDeleteCute new dress! This is a pretty interesting concept, it would make shopping for someone like me (who hates shopping) a lot easier!
ReplyDeleteCute dress! And I really like that white top! Are you going to try again? I've been wanting to for months...
ReplyDeleteLove the dress - I'm a sucker for stripes! It looks great on you!
ReplyDeleteI love Stitch Fix! I have done it a couple of times! The only down side is that I feel like I NEED to keep something every month or I lose my $20.
ReplyDeleteNow that I've seen you blog about it, I think I'll blog about my next one, too.
This sounds AMaZING but I'm afriad I don't have that much expendable money every month... I'll still have to check it out! :)
ReplyDeleteGood golly Pete, you're adorable! Love the dress you selected - good choice! It's flattering now and will be so comfy all summer!
ReplyDeleteGreat review....I'm always so curious about these things. We just tried Warby Parker and I love it! Home shopping is where it's at
ReplyDeleteLove the dress, you are killing the stripes love.
