Stitch Fix is a personal styling service. When you sign up you take a pretty in-depth survey of your sizes, your style, and pricing preferences. After choosing when you’d like to receive your delivery, your stylist handpicks 5 items based on your preferences. The fee for this service is $20, and that includes free shipping and free returns. And if you keep any of the items they send you, you get to deduct the $20 fee from the total. (If you keep all five items, you also get a 25% discount!)
My items are reflective of my style and price preferences, so your Fix may be completely different.
My Subscription Addiction paid for this Fix. (Check out the review process post to learn more about how we conduct reviews.)

Stitch Fix Plus Size Clothing April 2020 Review
This is the invoice that was included. It shows in detail the items selected for me and the brands, sizes, and cost of each piece. The total comes up to $187.75 after all the discounts if I opt to keep everything—which is an $89.25 total savings! That is like getting the Trina Off the Shoulder Dress by City Chic for free!
As always, I received this handy sheet with a note from this month’s stylist, Sarah! The last two months I suggested style icons for my Fixes (which you can read about here and here), but I opted to let my stylist freewheel it this month! Sarah is a new stylist to me and mentions in her note that she went through to check out my history as well as my Pinterest for inspiration. I am excited to gauge if she gets me style-wise with her selections.

Trina Off The Shoulder Dress by City Chic, Size 20W — Retail Value $79
Well, this is quite a summertime dress! I can envision wearing this one on the 4th of July at the beach with a floppy hat and oversized sunglasses! The dress is made of a breezy cotton material which makes it ideal for those hot, humid, summer days! I usually am iffy about cold shoulder style pieces, but I actually adore it on this dress! Excuse the back tie, my darling boyfriend took the shot, but neither of us seemed to notice that the tie in the back needed to be lowered and centered. That isn't an issue with the dress itself and the fit, just with us not observing this detail-- whoops! This dress is ultra cute and great for warm weather months, but it is a bit short in the back (story of my life, I tell ya! All the babes with big dupas know). I think if I went up a size it might fit a tad better in that regard.

Etelan Variegated Pointelle Stitch Open Cardigan by 41 Hawthorne, Size 2x — Retail Value $58
Summer is fast approaching, but this cardigan is ideal for cooler nights. I know, you are probably wondering how I can justify a sweater in June. The pointelle stitch details are lovely, and allow this piece to be lighter and airy so it can be worn all year round. This cardigan is such a versatile piece. I styled it with the blouse and dress pants Sarah selected for me, but this could be worn with anything from a floral print dress and wedges or jeans and a vintage band T-shirt for a more casual look.

Brunco Lace Detail Blouse by Bird, Size 2x — Retail Value $44
My stylist, Sarah, also included this blouse for me. I don't dislike or love this top, it is a MEH for me. Certainly, the black and white colors will make it versatile, and I do like the lace detail that frames the V-neck to slyly show a bit more skin. However, the top, due to its cut and fabric, almost felt like a scrub top on me. I think it would look great tucked into pants or a skirt to add some definition to an otherwise boxy style. Imagine how cute this would look with a black fitted blazer, some matching wide-leg dress pants, and a pair of pointy-toe flats or heels (if you are skilled in walking in such things, unlike me!).

Alexa Skinny Pant in Teal Green by Michel Studio, Size 22W — Retail Value $68
Guys, I was a tad concerned about these pants upon receiving them. In my March Dia & Co review I received the same Michel Studio pants, but in a grey/oatmeal shade. I try to be objective in my reviews, but I absolutely hated those pants. Despised, even! However, to my shock and surprise, the teal green version of the same style pants in the same size are, dare I say it-- CUTE! It might be because they are a darker color, but I do like these pants on. They have loads of stretch and are comfortable, but I do maintain with both pairs that they need to be higher waisted. My bottom was somehow far more covered in the pair from Dia & Co, but my behind sure could use a bit more coverage! These are perfect pants for the office (what is an office again? I forget what they are!). They would look great with a sweater in colder months, a short-sleeved and pattered button-down in warmer weather, or a casual striped T-shirt for an effortlessly cool factor.

Lance Tassel Earrings by EVERRI — Retail Value $28
Goodness knows I love a bold statement earring, so I was eager to try these earrings Sarah selected for me. They are cute, but I'm not sure if they are necessarily for me. My style is a bit more kitschy, where these may be too regal and sophisticated for me. The deep burgundy tassel against the matte gold is striking, but I also feel these are more ideal for fall than spring and summer. The earrings are lovely, though, and not terribly heavy making them easy to wear.
The Verdict: This month's Stitch Fix was alright-- not bad or great, just right in the middle. I am brand spanking new to my stylist. I don't know if she realizes how eccentric and wild some of my tastes are-- but she will soon! The pieces she sent are adorable, but I want brighter colors and more sassy prints. I intend to give her ample feedback and also to update my Pinterest for further reference. I also found that using style icons as examples like the Fix that was influenced by Natasha Lyonne and my most recent one that was inspired by the legendary Jayne Mansfield were great visual aids for my last stylist, Nicole. I can't suggest that enough to anyone using Stitch Fix as well-- tell your stylist about a celebrity/historical figure/musician that has a style you adore and want to emulate! The key to getting what you desire is to tell people exactly what you want, so I highly encourage providing feedback on every Fix you get! I am excited to provide the feedback and get my next Fix-- it really has been something I look forward to receiving during quarantine. Though my outings these days are limited to grocery shopping, I find myself dreaming of outfits to wear once things go back to "normal." Even when malls are reopened, I don't foresee myself jumping to go to one because I want to continue social distancing. Having Stitch Fix as a service is like having the mall delivered right to my doorstep, which is oddly comforting right now!
