After hearing from so many people about Stitch Fix for the past few years, I finally decided to dive in and learn more about it (and try it out).
For those of you who haven’t heard of Stitch Fix before, it’s an online shopping service that does all of the shopping for you. You provide your sizes, tastes, styles, and preferred price range, and their stylists create a specialized box, just for you. You can have a box sent to you as often or as little as you like (you don’t have to sign up for any sort of subscription). Once you get the box, you can pick and choose what items you want to keep, and then send a box back with the items you don’t want to keep. Stitch Fix will then charge you for what items you decide to keep. If you keep everything, Stitch Fix takes 25% off of your total order. If you don’t keep anything, you’ll only be charged $20 for the styling fee.
Before we get into my final opinion about Stitch Fix, here’s my review of what I got.
I loved this dress. It fit perfectly and the material was so ridiculously soft. The navy long sleeve top is actually connected to the dress, creating a fun contrast to the dress. Also, you can’t see in the picture, but the back of the navy top is open, so you can see the dress. The only thing I was iffy about was the curved hem of the shirt, which seemed to emphasize my hips a little bit.
You know how much I love a good popover top. Combining this with the plaid makes this shirt a winner for me. The v neck was cut a little lower than I like (harder to see in this picture), but that’s easily fix.
I loved this tee. It was ridiculously soft and I could have easily worn it all day.
Nope. Nope. Nope. This sweater was too big, I hated the pattern, and to top it off, it was itchy!
So cute! The material was ridiculously soft and comfortable to wear. Oddly enough, it’s also a plaid pattern that I don’t own yet (in scarf form).
Verdict
Like
After getting my Stitch Fix box, what did I think? Overall, I was impressed how well they did with my style and matching what I was interested in. I also liked how my box came with a personalized styling guide for each item of clothing in my box.
Dislike
The pricing. Though this one is semi on me. I really shouldn’t have order this box when I was just getting past the shock of my August budget and debating if I should do a spending freeze. Some of the prices surprised me a little For instance, the cardigan was much less expensive than I expected, but the tee was $44. I checked my price preferences and I had selected “as inexpensive as possible” so I was a little shocked that a $44 tee would be in the box. The dress pricing also seemed a little high ($78) considering the dress’s material (jersey), but when I thought about it, it felt like they were trying to match BB Dakota in terms of pricing. That’s a little harder to do though since BB Dakota also has the name recognition. I am also really curious how much sticker shock I would actually experience if I was in a regular shopping month.
However, when I looked at what the final price would be if I kept everything, it seemed pretty reasonable with the discount.
Would I try Stitch Fix again?
Yup! I would most likely plan to make that my shopping for the month, but I could easily see using it again. I was impressed with the styling service and I’d be curious to see what else they would send me (especially during different seasons). One thing I didn’t mention is that Stitch Fix can also send jewelry or shoes in your box, if you’re interested in that option (I was not).
