So it turns out mid-December was a pretty poor time to receive a Stitch Fix. In addition to all of the regular spending with presents and the holidays, I unfortunately hit a deer and need to spend the money to fix my car, and we found out our insurance doesn’t cover filling the cavities of me or my husband. So let’s just say that we’re a couple thousand dollars over what we intended to spend this month.
Before I opened the box I told myself I would only keep 1 item so as not to lose my styling credit. I was very excited to see that my usual stylist, Julie, was back from maternity leave and put together this box for me! There were 3 things I would have kept if it was in the budget.
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!
Pinon Lace Detail Blouse – $48
This was pretty – I liked the vibrant color and the lace detail. I would have kept it if I had the money. It was a little pricey for a relatively simple shirt though. I liked something else better so back it went.
Breyson Pleated Tab-Sleeve Blouse – $58
I liked the color of this shirt but that was about it. The sleeves were a bit too tight and I was not a fan of the pleat. So it was easy enough to send this one back.
David Faux Suede Jacket – $78
So interestingly, this one is my keeper! It’s not my usual style at all but I like stepping outside the box a bit. It’s soft and so comfortable. When I tried it on my husband said, “It looks like it would be good if you were a smuggler in the Star Wars universe.” It definitely makes me feel badass when I wear it, haha. So I’m going to try and make a conscious effort to wear it often!
Melissa Mixed Geo Print Pencil Skirt – $48
This pencil skirt just didn’t work for me. I liked the pattern and material but that was it. I don’t like trying to pull off a pencil skirt because I feel like you have to be really thin for it to look good – I’ve got too much hips and a little bit of tummy! And I don’t like the ones that go below the knee, they just seem awkward to me.
Aerin Dress – $58
The dress is one that I liked and wish I could have kept as well. It’s kind of simple but it was comfortable and cute. At half the price I would have kept it. As it is, my husband pointed out that I already have other dresses that are prettier.
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!

You got a great box! I find that it takes a couple of times before they get it right 🙂
Thanks Crystie! I think you’re right. I’ve had the same stylist for 8 fixes and I feel like she knows me pretty well by now.
love that you kept the leather jacket! Good choice.
Thanks Angela!
The dress, skirt, and jacket are my favorites. I too struggle with pencil skirts. I requested them in my fixes for a few months last summer, and I only got one that worked. They seem so restrictive, and mine rode up on me.
I know what you mean about pencil skirts. I have one or two but rarely wear them because I don’t feel like they’re the most comfortable/flattering. So a new one is probably not a good idea, even though the pattern was cute.
Your fixes are just too cute! I love the jacket. You look gorgeous!
Thanks Nichole! I’m excited about the jacket!
I haven’t heard of this service yet. I will have to check it out. That jacket is amazing. I wish I had a jacket like it. <3
I highly recommend trying it out! It’s a really fun box to get in the mail 🙂
I had not heard of Stitch Fix before. This is really cool and I think you look great in the clothes. I liked the jacket and the blouse the best.
Thanks Christine! Stitch Fix is a fun service, I love having someone pick out clothes for me!
Wow, I’ve never heard of Stitch Fix. Seems like a cool concept though! Thanks for sharing the review.
Thanks Brianne, it is a really neat concept!
That jacket is gorgeous!
Thanks Tiara, I’m really glad that is the one I decided to keep!
Love that red blouse! So festive!

Thanks Kari! I kind of wish I had kept it because it would have been perfect for the holidays!
Love that you kept the jacket! Husband comments are always priceless 🙂 I used Stitch Fix a couple of years ago but it just wasn’t for me. That red blouse is beautiful too!
Thanks Marlynn! My husband makes the best comments on my Stitch Fixes, haha. I’ve now been told I look like a smuggler and a flying squirrel.
I love the convenience of Stitch Fix. I usually treat myself to a box once in a while. You look great in all the pieces in my opinion!
It is so convenient! I can think of few things more stressful than going to the stores, picking stuff out, and trying on a million different things.
I tried. I did. I even got that leather jacket and wanted it but they didn’t have the size that worked for me. I finally gave it up. They were gracious and easy to work with. I would refer them anytime.
Aw Heather I’m sorry it didn’t work out for you! I’m glad that they were good to work with though.
I love that jacket on you! Good choice on keeping it!
Thanks Chelsea! I’m happy with my choice!
Definitely a good choice on the leather jacket! It’s so versatile.
Thanks Julie! I think it will be good for both spring and fall – and apparently winter too if we keep having this warmer weather!
That jacket is very cute! I’ve been considering trying Stitch Fix in the new year and will use your code if I do.
Thanks so much Donnica! If you give it a try I’d love to hear what you think!
I keep wavering back and forth over whether Stitch Fix is worth it. These pieces that you got look amazing. I’m just worried that things won’t be exactly what I love but I’ll feel like I need to keep something or make do with what was sent. – Katy
I’ve been very fortunate that there’s always been at least one thing I’ve wanted to keep in each Fix. I’d say to give it a shot at least once!
That jacket is seriously so adorable, and it looks great on you! I haven’t ever received a jacket in any of my Fixes…I’ll have to request one next time. I’m so glad you kept it!

Tami
Thanks Tami! This was my first time in 9 fixes receiving a jacket as well!
I luckily found your blog right after I got back from Disney yesterday! What a lovely site! I love this post.
