Stitch Fix Review - March 2013

Serious fun fashion right to your door... I am addicted to Stitch Fix already.

This is my second month getting 'a fix'. Last month I kept 2 things... a blouse with funny birds and some front pleating that I would have never thought to try (it's the same one that Stephanie Howell had if you happen to follow her darling blog) and a tshirt that looked like nothing special until I put it on and it fit like a glove.

So what came in my box this month?

• black ponte pants
• royal blue jersey blazer
• silk shirt
• another fun (more subtle) bird shirt
• chevron tunic

Wanna see?

Sorry for the goofy faces - I suck at self portraits apparently.

 

I'm keeping the bird shirt - love it. I clearly have something with birds. Which is funny in it's own way... but I digress.

The blazer was super cuddly and quite a lovely color, but it was a bit too snug for 'the girlfriends' so it went back. If it had come in pink or stripes, I might have kept it...

The ponte pants were tempting, lovely material I'll be watching out for now, but I didn't need another pair of pants like them and they were snug. Made me want to workout though, which is probably a good thing. 

 

This mint silk shirt was lovely, but almost the exact same cut as the bird shirt and I decided it wasn't a great color for me. (my friend Kathy swooped right in and snagged it though - we started a fix share this month, checking out each others goods before we sent back... double the fun. I highly recommend.)

The tunic was a major ' um, no'.  Lovely for being a tunic, as it was a lovely pattern and fabric and I love that it wasn't a loose tie, but tunics often translate into 'dress' for me.  And again, things with ties aren't flattering with a little more giftedness on top. My fashion nemesis.

So that's that.

Oh and I may have snagged an orange cardigan sweater from Kathy's box. And yes, it is the exact same one that Gillian Nelson totally destroyed in her blog... I laughed out loud and promptly tried it on again to make sure I wasn't crazy. I'm good. Whew.

Until next month...

For those who are saying. "What in the heck are you talking about, lady?"...

Stitch Fix, is like a personal shopper that comes to your home. You take a survey about your fashion likes and dislikes, give them your sizes and preferred price ranges, and they choose 5 pieces for you and mail them to you. A $20 "styling fee" is charged when shipped that is applied to your purchase. You have 3 days to try on the clothes, you pay online for what you want to keep and send the rest back in an included, postage-paid envelope, and drop it off at the post office. Easy peasy. They also offer a discount of 25% off if you purchase all 5 pieces.

I'm not affiliated with Stitch Fix in any way, but if you are interested in checking it out and use my code, I will get a $25 credit towards my next purchase.  And if not me, pick someone, share the love.

Stitch Fix is super fun. I'm waiting on my second fix to arrive this week.

What a great idea to have a fix share! If only my friends and I were the same size.
