Stitch Fix review – April 2016

April 11, 2016 by Becky 47 Comments

Alice in Wonderland running costumes

For this month’s Stitch Fix I made an interesting request of my stylist.  I’ve been receiving and buying so many cute dresses and outfits and I absolutely love them – but I don’t know that I need a ton more.  So I decided to request something a little bit different from my usual style.  I asked my stylist to try and find clothing that was sexy without being provocative – maybe a little bit of a detour from my usual “cute” look.  I knew it was a rather vague and not easy request to fulfill, but I thought she did a great job!  Julie was my stylist again and she is great.  She also mentions that she reads the blog – so, hi Julie!  If you want to try Stitch Fix (and you can do so with my referral link!) I’d definitely recommend requesting her.

If you’re not familiar, Stitch Fix is a subscription box service that has you fill out a style profile survey, and then they send you 5 clothing items to try on – you decide what to keep and what to send back!

Let’s take a look at what I got!

Crescent Benatar Lace Applique Blouse – $44

IMG_4113

For the most part I liked this.  The detail on the top was nice, if the rest was a little plain.  It had a high neckline which I wasn’t sure was flattering, and also wasn’t sure if it was sexy.  So of course I asked the expert (my husband) and he said that for being a highly neckline it was for some reason “weirdly attractive.”  Despite that, I sent it back.  I did like it but I’m not sure I $44 liked it, especially compared to other stuff I got.

Collective Concepts Paddio Lace Inset Blouse – $54

In theory I liked this top – in fact, I had pinned it on my Pinterest as something I was interested in (in a different color though).  I actually love bright, warm colors, but I’m not sure this yellow was the best look for me.  The fit was just a little bit big on me and the top was rather see-through so it was another one that would require a tank underneath.  For those reasons and the higher price point for a blouse I sent it back.

Papermoon Fatima Dress – $78

IMG_4122

This was another one that I had put on Pinterest – I love the style of it and the pattern!  I feel like it’s different from anything else I own.  I wasn’t sure how I felt about it on me when I put it on.  I need to wear a strapless bra with it which is a little bit of a downfall.  I liked it and my husband and friends all said it looked good so I kept this one.  Can’t wait til the weather gets warmer so I can wear it!

Brixon Ivy Bonita Dress – $88

IMG_4120

There were a lot of things I loved about this dress.  It fit really well and felt very comfy.  It’s also pretty.  But at the end of the day, it’s also $88 for basically a little black dress.  Jason felt it was too boring and too expensive, so it didn’t make the cut.

Papermoon Paulette Lace Detail Blouse – $48

IMG_4117

At first I wasn’t sure how I would feel about the floral pattern, but in person once I tried it on I really liked it!  This one is something different and I really like the lace detailing at the top too.  My favorite things I get from Stitch Fix are those that I feel like I haven’t seen in stores or could get something similar for less money.  So this one was a keeper!

If you’re interested in signing up for your own Fix, I would love it if you’d use my referral link – it would give me a $25 credit to use on a future fix, and doesn’t cost you anything.  I used a friend’s link when I signed up for mine so I could help her out, so I know it’s much appreciated!

    I love the ‘little black dress’ with the fun details and I think I’ll be pinning that for myself! =)

    I love the envy tank! I feel like those are the types of pieces I end up wearing more often.

    That yellow top is gorgeous on you. You have the skin tone to pull off such a bold color!

      Aw thanks that’s good to hear! I love bright colors but I’m so pale that I’m never sure if yellows work on me.

    I used to work as a stylist for them and Stitch Fix is a seriously amazing company. Papermoon is one of my favorite brands now. Love the floral top on you!

    I love Stitch Fix reviews! I also love that yellow top, but I know exactly what you mean… I just don’t like the way I look in yellow either.

      Thanks so much! I feel like yellow is such a hard color to pull off.

    I love love love the Fatima dress in you, and I’m so glad you kept that one! It’s absolutely beautiful and flattering. Also, I don’t know if I mentioned it in a previous post or not, but I LOVE your hair at this length.

      Thank you so much! I really like how my hair looks now too. It’s actually more maintenance than when it was long (because it poofs up from being short and I have to straighten it!), but it’s worth it.

    Have you tried LeTote? It’s like Stitch Fix but you rent the clothes and just send them back. I love it!!

    I LOVE that patterned dress–that’s exactly like something I’d keep, too! I like the black dress, but for the price, I think you can find something else more exciting (plus, I know I’ve seen similar dresses for way less). I’d love to do a StitchFix soon if the budget allows–I think it would be so much fun to get new stuff each month!

      I hope you try it, I’d love to see what you think of it! And I agree, I think I can probably find a similar black dress somewhere else.

    Love the floral top that you kept! Perfect for dressing up a bit, and to wear more casually. I’m not normally a floral gal, but received an amazing top from Stitch Fix that I ended up keeping — I love it! Who knew!

      Thanks – I’m not a huge floral person either but every once in awhile I find something that I love. That’s why I love Stitch Fix, it gets me to try on things I never would have picked up normally!
