Stitch Fix : A Review {February 2016}

I know a lot of you gals out there have heard of Stitch Fix.  It is the greatest, after all.  I mean, what better service could you get for 20 bucks than to have someone else pick out some great clothes for you?!  Hello.

I was on the S-F wagon for several months after Reynolds was born and I was back to pre-baby weight…but then we found out about Eliza Jane, so I got off the wagon.

Great news is, now girls don’t have to get off that wagon when they have a little bun in the oven because Stitch Fix now has maternity clothes?!  So great.

Anyway, so I’ve not done Stitch Fix for some time now, but decided a week or so ago that I was going to schedule a fix for my birthday.  🙂  Happy birthday, me!!!! YAY!

So it arrived yesterday at my office {it was in a box, not just wrapped in tissue paper!…}And tonight I’m going to share with you the stitches in my fix.

I usually ask for a blazer/jacket and a dress in my fix box so first up is the Benson 3/4 Ruched Sleeve Blazer {$78}.  I really like this little blazer – it’s thick enough to add to a spring or fall outfit, but light enough to wear in the summer.

 

Next is the Kamile Jersey Ruched Detail Dress {$54}. Reynolds declared, “Mommy!!!! YOU A PRINCESS!!!!  A princess like Sophia!” {Disney channel…}  I’m pretty sure I’m buying this just so every time I put it on he tells me I look like a princess!!!

 

The Wiltz Flutter Sleeve Silk Blouse {$78!!!} was also included and while I do love the color, I have a top very similar to this one already….And, Andrew would have my head for spending that much on a top.  Sorry…we’re on a budget.

And…the arm holes are a little gapey.

One reason to keep?  R said “Mommy, I like your blue shirt.” {big smile}.  I said, “You like blue, don’t you, buddy?”  “Yeah, uh huh….”

 

Last but not least is this really cute and I feel like, very versatile Kelsey Skirt {$54}.  But honestly, I can’t justify the price when it’s not lined or of a better quality material.  I know that sounds snobbish, and I don’t mean for it to…I just think this one should be more in the ~$30 range.  I do adore the pattern and it has a super-stretchy waist band…

For those of you who aren’t familiar with Stitch Fix, this is how it works:  You go online, create an account and fill out a questionnaire of sorts to give the stylists and idea of what you like/don’t like.  You can also link boards from Pinterest {My Style!} so they have some idea of what you really like.  You pay $20 towards a styling fee and that $20 goes towards whatever you end up purchasing.  If you buy all the items in your box, you get 25% the total, but you have to buy all 5 items.

*My 5th item is a cute little necklace for $28.

So, my total for all 5 items received yesterday is $292.  EEEK!  If I purchased all 5 items {I won’t!}, it’s $73 off, and also minus the $20 styling fee I initially paid.  Which brings my total down to $194.   That’s almost $100 less for buying all 5 pieces!  Crazy, right?

If you’re interested, I would love for you to check it out using my link:  Michelle’s Stitch Fix Referral Link

If you sign up and refer friends, when your friends get their first fix, you earn $25 in credit!  So far, I’ve had two friends sign up AND receive a fix {and I heard raves!}.

So…if you’re up to it, sign up, get a fix and then review it!  I’d love to hear what you think!

You can also sign up to get Fixes automatically…but that could be dangerous! 🙂

If you were me, which pieces would you pick out of the ones I got?
