I haven’t gotten a Stitch Fix since October because my last fix was so good, I kept the whole box! I knew I’d need time to save up some more money, and with the holidays it’s not a great time to be spending even more. So this was my first one in about three months.
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!
My stylist, Julie, has been with me since the beginning. This time around she sent me a couple of things that fit my style really well, and a couple of things to push me out of my comfort zone and try something new. I like that she does that because I end up with clothing pieces I’d never pick out myself otherwise.
Tinsel Hattie Button Down Top – $44
In general I’m not a huge fan of button down shirts. This one was actually cute as I don’t have much plaid, but I didn’t love it enough to keep it. It was also extremely wrinkly when it came out of the box. Which of course can be fixed, but it says to me that when this shirt is wrinkly and others aren’t, it’s one that is going to wrinkle very easily, and that’s just annoying.
Verse Larissa Knit Dress – $48
This was something that was more of my typical style. It fit well, and the length was good. I liked the purple pattern because I’ve realized I don’t have all that much purple in my closet. In the photos I wore it with a black sweater on top because if you didn’t notice, it was snowing while we were photographing! It’s actually sleeveless. I was super on the fence about this one because I wasn’t totally in love with it, but it will be a great option for work so I decided to keep it.
Gilli Colbie Knit Dress – $68
As Julie mentioned in her note, she gave me a couple of styles to push me outside of my comfort zone a little bit. And one of them was this shift dress, which is a style I don’t really have. And at first I wasn’t sure – I liked the colors but I’m used to wearing dresses that have a defined waist. I’m always afraid anything without one will make me look fat. But to my surprise I loved how this dress looked! It fit really well and was definitely my favorite thing out of the box.
B Collection by Bobeau Jiri Side Twist Knit Top – $48
This was a simple striped shirt with a unique feature of the tie on the side. It was fine. It fit well and I did like to little side detail. But ultimately to me $48 was way too much for what felt like such a basic shirt.
Papermoon Kirsty Lace Panel Blouse – $48
This was actually a cute top and I liked it a lot, but it just wasn’t the perfect fit. And I’ve learned that if something doesn’t fit just right I won’t reach for it. The top was too short and though you can’t tell much from this picture, it has a more boxy silhouette which I’m not crazy about.
So overall I ended up with 2 cute new dresses, which I’m happy about! Julie continues to make great choices for me!

What was your favorite thing in my Stitch Fix box this time around?
You got some really great pieces from this box! I love both of the dresses, even though they are totally different styles they both fit and flatter you really well. I love the striped twist knit top, too but I’m with you, I think it would have been too much to pay for a top like that.
Yeah, I think the striped top had been $20 or $25 I would have kept it, but for $48 I just feel like I could find something similar somewhere else!
I agree with your choices and I love the snowy background!
Jason is a trooper for being my photographer, even in the snow!
Love that Gilli Colbie Knit Dress! The colors are pretty and it looks so good on you! 🙂
Thanks Tami! I absolutely loved the colors when I pulled it out of the box so I was very glad it fit!
These are some super cute pieces! I LOVE the dress on you!
Thanks Kristen! My stylist has gotten to know me really well!
That shift dress is REALLY cute! Definitely the right move to keep it! And yeah, fit definitely matters–even if I love something, if it doesn’t fit right, it’s not going to be worth keeping in my closet.
Absolutely! I want something to look nice, but it also has to be comfortable!
I love those dresses you kept – they look great on you!
Thanks so much Rachel! I was really happy with what she sent!
Absolutely love the hattie button down and the side twist top. You have a great stylist! It’s been more than a year since I’ve ordered a box. Maybe I should splurge soon 😉
Thanks Marsha! I think you should – start the new year off with a little wardrobe splurge!
I really like that purple dress that you kept! I find that a lot of the things I get from Stitch Fix that aren’t good fits is because they are too short in the torso for me.
Thanks, I am thinking the purple one will be a good Easter dress! My co-worker has an issue too because she has extremely long legs, so none of the pants/dresses/skirts they send her fit right either.
