Stitch Fix Friday: Fix #7

Have you heard of Stitch Fix?  It’s basically like having your own personal stylist once a month (or as often as you like).  They send you a box of five items with a style card on how to wear each piece.  Keep what you want, send back what you don’t (in a pre-paid envelope)- all with no commitment to buy.  You pay a $20 styling fee that goes toward anything you decide to keep, and if you keep everything you get a 25% discount.

So far my fixes have been:
Stitch Fix #1 – sent it all back
Stitch Fix #2 – sent it all back
Stitch Fix #3 – kept a brown tote
Stitch Fix #4 – kept a black dress
Stitch Fix #5 – read more here
Stitch Fix #6 – kept everything

Well, I won’t keep you in suspense… this was probably the worst fix I’ve received.  Not only was it not my style, but I don’t feel like they listened to me either.  Each month you get a comment box to let you stylist know if you are looking for anything in particular.  I knew James and I were going to be heading to a country concert for our anniversary, and I had these fab new cowboy boots from Country Outfitters that I wanted to wear, so I asked for a dress to wear with them.  They sent me this maxi:

Renee C Katelynn Tie-Dye Maxi Dress ($44) This dress was terrible.  It was too short and ill-fitting.  The pattern is awful too, it looks like a grey dress that got in a fight with a bottle of bleach… and lost, tragically.  I asked for a dress to wear with boots, my stylist suggested I “tie the bottom in a knot”.  I’m just not the type that can pull that off I guess.  And?  They sent me a maxi last month, that I kept.  Definite no.

Pink Martini Ashby Feather Print Pocket-Front Tank ($28) This top was even worse than the dress.  At first I thought they were bugs, haha seriously.  Then after second glance, I thought they were leaves.  Up close, they are actually feathers.  I did like the lower price point, but it was paper thin and weird silky polyester material.  Bad, bad, bad.

41Hawthorn Abrianna Lightweight Knit Cardigan ($28) I’ve almost been kicking myself for not keeping this sweater.  It was super lightweight, but also super thin so I was worried about it snagging easily.  Plus, in Texas, there’s not really a lot of time for “light” sweaters.  It’s either ridiculously hot, or really cold; we have like one week of nice Fall weather haha.  It was a pretty coral color, looked slimming on me, and was a steal for the price.

Under Skies Elli Elephant Print Neck-Tie Blouse ($48) This top was pretty terrible as well.  The arms were tight at the elbow, it was a little shorter than I like, and felt boxy through the waist.  The print, and the neck-tie, reminded me of a nursery curtain.  How adorable would that be in a nursery?  And!- they sent me an elephant print blouse last month, that I kept.  Going back.

DL1961 Senuri Straight Leg Jean ($168) These jeans were a definite investment piece.  I don’t mind spending money on quality denim.  They fit me perfectly and felt amazing, seriously so comfortable on.  I struggle to find pants long enough, so I couldn’t bring myself to send these back.  Keep!

The total for this fix was $316.00 – $20 styling fee/25% discount= $222.00 if I kept everything.  All in all, I was disappointed in the dress they sent me and that they sent me two pieces almost identical to items I received in my previous month’s fix.  I’m hopeful for my next fix!  🙂
