Got my May Stitch Fix, and absolutely loved it!
Before I tell you about it, first I must explain what Stitch Fix is, for the folks that don't know. It's a nifty online styling service, perfect for people that don't have time to go out shopping or that aren't really good at putting together outfits! You fill out your style profile and as often or as little as you like they'll send you a box with 5 pieces hand picked for you based on your style preferences, and include a card with helpful tips on what to wear with each piece. Each box has a $20 styling fee, but it goes toward your purchase if you decide to keep anything. Whatever you don't like, you send back for free. If you decide you want it all, you get a 25% discount! It's really addictive, I'll warn you! So far I've the clothing prices for me have ranged from $28-$88, so I try to only keep the things I really love.
And they won't always get it right...I've gotten a couple boxes where I wondered if the stylist even looked at my profile or pinterest board. But other times they nail it! The more feedback they get from you the more they'll understand your style.
On to my fix!
Urban Expressions Richie Asymmetrical Clutch in Green
I was a little disappointed when I first opened the box and saw that I didn't get the bag I had requested...but alas, sometimes specific things just aren't available. They sent me this clutch instead. I don't like it at all, just not my thing. It actually looks kind of cute in the picture, but you can't see that it's actually pretty large for a clutch. I hardly ever use a clutch anyway, and I certainly wouldn't use an over-sized one. I feel like they just sent me this because it was the same color as the bag I'd asked for.
But the clothing in my fix...well, this is a first. I loved it all! This is the first time I've ever considered keeping the whole box! I mean, I only want 4 of the 5 things, but with the 25% discount you get for keeping it all, its actually cheaper to keep all 5 then just the 4 I want.
41Hawthorn Milan Lace Print Top in Grey
This top probably isn't something I would have pulled off the rack at a store, but I was pleasantly surprised by it when I tried it on. So pretty and feminine.
Level 99 Patrick Cropped Chino Pant in Light Blue
Loved the pants too! I was hoping they'd send me some cropped pants and they did not disappoint. They went perfectly with the top.
Daniel Rainn Judy Split Neck Blouse in Black
Another great top! It looks really great with dark jeans or black pants, but when I was taking the pictures I was too lazy to change out of the blue chinos, haha. ;)
Fun2Fun Marlena Abstract Print Tab Sleeve Blouse in Green
Lol, I blinked in this one, but my hair looks good so that's all that matters right? Haha! :) Okay, when I first tried this on I wasn't crazy about it. And I was also wondering why the heck they sent me a long sleeved shirt when I asked for summer tops. But then I saw that the sleeves can be rolled up and buttoned, and that changed the whole look of the shirt and I actually liked it! Plus, its another shirt that goes well with the blue chinos.
And that's it! So, I still have another day to decide on what to keep and the decision hasn't gotten any easier. I must admit, I am tempted to keep it all...hey, its my birthday/anniversary/mothers day week, right??? Oh well, one more day to think on it.
What would you keep? :)
If you'd like to give Stitch Fix a try, I'd really appreciate it if you'd use my referral link: https://www.stitchfix.com/referral/3988708 When you get your first fix they'll give me a small credit toward my next purchase. But no worries if you're uncomfortable with that.
