I waited two long, excruciating days to open my first Stitch Fix so I could share this fun, new experience with some girlfriends!
I waited two long, excruciating days to open my first Stitch Fix so I could share this fun, new experience with some girlfriends!

Here are the basics:

What is Stitch Fix?
Stitch Fix is an online personal styling company for women!
1. You fill out your style profile online.
2. Your personal stylist sends you an assortment of items.
3. You try on at home and keep what you like and send back the rest!

What does it cost?
$20 styling fee.
If you buy anything the fee is removed! Plus, there are no shipping or return charges.

Keep the entire fix and get 25% off the total!!

I will use any excuse to have wine, good cheese, try new recipes, and laugh with the girls!

My first Stitch Fix was the perfect excuse to try some new recipes!! I made a garlic kale tomato white pizza, feta and onion mini fillos, and asparagus and bacon quiche!

And of course a spectacular cheese platter of Parmesan Reggiano and Parrano!

I have never had a stylist or anyone for that matter choose clothing/accessories for me. I style myself. I love to shop, especially a great sale!
So my expectation for Stitch Fix is to have someone choose clothes for me that I would never pick for myself and wow me!! My goal is to keep the entire box and take 25%off!!

I couldn't wait to hear everyone's opinions of the online service, my Stitch Fix stylist's picks, and if the items worked for me!
I couldn’t wait to hear everyone’s opinions!!So I opened the box!

[caption id="attachment_1241" align="alignnone" width="243"]We couldn't believe the box was so small!! I am petite! And, it is 5 items and includes accessories! We couldn’t believe the box was so small!! 5 items including accessories!

 

Item #1
Kut From The Kloth
Marquis Striped French Terry Dolman Sweater

I have to admit I was totally bummed! A sweatshirt-y looking, big looking, jail looking striped top was NOT what I had in mind!!!

So I tried it on…

Super cute! I was totally surprised! I asked the girls "how much how much is it?" They decided not to tell me and make this more interesting. They asked me to make decisions to keep or send back with cost out of the equation! Ok, fun!

I put this top on the keep pile!

Item #2

Of course the girls loved the shorts! I couldn't get over the pastel purple.

I put the printed blouse on the keep pile because if it is inexpensive…I want it!

Item #5
Pomelo
Lydia Faceted Stones Long Necklace

Nope, nope, nope…no photo needed. Brassy yellow gold with big fake blue stones. I think my camera would have broken!

The Price Reveal:

My entire merchandise total is $240.00.
If I keep everything? $165.00

My keep pile?
$68 tulip printed blouse
$38 striped sweater

$106!! Just for those two items?
I didn’t LOVE them and LOVE the price so I sent the entire box back!!!
This experience cost me $20. It was so fun!

What we loved…

EVERYTHING FIT ME PERFECTLY!
This is bizarre, right?

Stitch Fix included this cute styling card to give dress up and down the items! To see them in outfits!

What we hated…

The items didn’t go together. No outfits were created with these items.

The box is really only worth the money if you keep the whole fix and get the 25% off!

I hope you enjoyed sharing my first Stitch Fix experience with me! I will get another!! Darien figured me out! He sent me 2 items I already have in my closet!

I encourage you to totally try it! Why not? Worst case scenario is $20!
