As part of our holiday gift guide on Simply Southern Mom, I had the chance to try Stitch Fix. Stitch Fix is a clothing subscription service that’s like having a personal stylist. Each box costs $20 as a “styling fee” and contains clothing tailored to your style that you can either purchase or send back. If you do purchase anything from your Stitch Fix box, the styling fee is applied towards that purchase. After our last Stitch Fix, I still had about $25 of credit towards my next fix. Since that was enough to cover the styling fee, I thought “why not?” and tried again.
From my last box, I decided to keep the skinny jeans. I have worn them multiple times since purchasing. After getting such a great box last time, I was able to tell my stylist what I liked and disliked about each item. I also started a Stitch Fix Pinterest Board to let my stylist get a visual of things I would love to wear. This meant that my Stitch Fix was even more personalized to my tastes.
This month, my stylist sent five pieces that made two outfits, and could be mixed and matched. The first outfit consisted of the Anita Skinny Pant by Liverpool, The Nomini Button Down Blouse by 41Hawthorn, and the Novah Elbow Patch Textured Cardigan by Honey Punch.
The Anita Skinny Pant can be dressed up or down, making it perfect for someone looking to transition their look from day to night. My mom liked them a lot, but I wasn’t feeling them. The Nomini Button Down Blouse hit my style in several ways: the maroon color looked great with my skin tone, and the black polka dots were a whimsical touch I loved. However, I wasn’t a fan of its sheerness. I don’t own any undershirts because I specifically avoid extremely sheer shirts. At this point, I was wondering if my stylist lived in California, because her idea of winter styles is a little different than mine. Then I tried on the Novah Elbow Patch Textured Cardigan. Now, this was what I was talking about. The fabric was soft, I loved the elbow patches, and it was perfect for the weather. The only reason this got sent back was the color. Do any moms with young kids actually wear white? (If you do, more power to you! This would be Alimentum-yellow in about ten minutes at my house.)
Verdict? Sent back.
The next outfit was a little simpler. It consisted of the Aryanna Knit Dress from Loveapella and the Pierce Knit Infinity Scarf by Octavia. This outfit is exactly what I’m looking for in a Stitch Fix, honestly. I liked the fit of the knit dress, and I couldn’t quit touching the infinity scarf. Sadly, I have a dress that is almost identical to this one, so even though I loved it, I couldn’t bring myself to keep it. The scarf, which was mustard yellow, was something I wouldn’t have picked out for myself. It was also my favorite item in the Fix. That’s the cool thing about Stitch Fix: it lets you try new looks without worrying. I hate trying clothes on in the store, so I’m afraid to pick things that are outside my comfort zone. With Stitch Fix, you can try new clothes at home, in flattering light, without feeling like the entire store is judging what you took into the dressing room.
Verdict: kept the scarf.
I fully intend to try more Stitch Fix picks in the future, but I’ve changed the frequency to every three months. I don’t need to refresh my wardrobe every month, because I’m a stay at home mom. If I worked in the public eye, I would keep getting the Stitch Fix monthly.
If you’d like to try Stitch Fix for yourself, check out my Stitch Fix here. It doesn’t cost you anything extra, but I receive a Stitch Fix credit.
Have you ever tried Stitch Fix?
Glad you kept the skinny jeans. I liked those. The scarf is a great keeper as well. I’ve not tried them but a few of my friends have.
I love the yellow scarf will match to any outfit on any season. You look great by the way I am checking your pin post now. I want to see more of your good taste in fashion.
i love your outfit on the last picture with scarf! you look so fab!
Having 4 kids myself, I know what you mean about wearing white! I think both outfits are great though and I love love love the dress/scarf combo! This sounds like a great subscription service!
what a nice subscription ‘stitchFix’ I’ll have to check them out! I’m glad you stuck with the scarf, it looks great and soft as well.
Your outfits are so cute! I have been wanting to try StichFix for a while. I will have to do that soon.
I don’t usually change up my wardrobe that much, but it is good to know that there are options like this out there if I do. I like what you are showing us here.
Stitch Fix sounds like a great way to freshen up the wardrobe every once in awhile! I really like the scarf you kept from them.
I do love that mustard yellow scarf! I’ve been attracted to brighter colours in the last few years.
I haven’t tried it, even though I’m trying do expand my wardrobe in 2017. Thanks for the reminder.
This is a great idea when you don’t have time to go out and shop for new outfits. I love the idea of having a Stitch Fix Pin board. Will definitely give this a try!
I would love to try this service. I like that it is affordable and the thought of having a personal stylist is awesome. I love your choices.
I like your dress – it looks very stylish.
And I think you are wearing one of those forever scarves; I have a grey one and like it very much.
I have a number of friends who have tried this and at first they say it is great and then so so ad then off the mark altogether. Hope it works for you
Isn’t Pinterest just so handy for that type of stuff?! I do that often.
Stitch Fix sounds like such a great service for busy women like me. Such a fun way to try new clothing without the hassle of going to the mall, hunting down the perfect outfit, only to try it on and hate it. That mustard scarf is too cute!
I’d love to try StitchFix some day, but living overseas makes it only a daydream for now. You look great in the pants and the dress. Especially like the way you styled the dress with the scarf and booties. I’d have never thought to pair it with mustard but it looks super chic!
I loved the pant outfit! I prefer those over dresses lol. I looked into stitch fix, unfortunately they don’t go up to my current size. I’m in the process of losing, so hopefully I’ll get there 🙂
They definitely sent you some cool stuff to try out! It must have been fun. The scarf was definitely a keeper!
I must honestly say, I like all the outfits! The yellow scarf is my favorite. It looks great on you, don’t know if I can pull off the color. It’s a great service, they have great outfits.
Stitch Fix sounds like so much fun and I would love to give it a go. All of the pieces you received look great on you, but I can understand the reasons why you sent most of them back.
I would love to give Stitch Fix a try. I love these outfits on you. I would do the 3 month option as well. It is a great gift idea.
Stitch Fix is one of my favorite clothing lines. I love the simplicity and beauty of their styles.
That’s a great look! That scarf is so poppy next to the skirt.
I’m a scarf person so this I’d keep as well. I need some brighter scarfs, I love this color.
I love the dress and the scarf. You look great in all your stitch fix items.
Love the mustard yellow scarf! It’s the only shade of yellow that looks good on me. Glad you found the perfect skinny jeans in your last box.
I really like the look of the knit dress and of course finding a great pair of jeans that fit perfectly is a must. Will have to check out your pinterest board.
