Stitch Fix is a personal styling service. When you sign up, you take an in-depth survey of your sizes, your style, and your pricing preferences. After choosing when you’d like to receive your delivery, your stylist handpicks five 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 our editorial guidelines to learn more about how we conduct reviews.)
First Impressions
Let's take a look at this month's selections, shall we?
What's Inside This Month's Fix
Gale Smocking Detail Cropped Blouse by Heatherly, Size 2x — Retail Value $44.00
My initial impression wasn't strong when I first saw this blouse. The yellow shade was too pastel, muted and almost a neutral shade. I generally prefer bright, vivid colors, so I was slightly put off. However, upon trying on this top, I actually loved it on! All the things I didn't like about it at first were what I liked about the piece. I am not a fan of peplums, but this one works? The smocking detail makes this top fit like a dream! I did very simple and comfortable styling wearing this item with bike shorts, Pink Crocs Mega Crush sandals, and earrings by Blush Daisy to tie it all in together. This top would work incredibly well in an office setting, just pair it with trousers and heels or a pencil skirt and flats. Layer with a blazer or sweater for extra warmth in cooler weather.
Jai Sleeveless Knit Top by Beacon, Size 2x-Retail Value $38.00
Black and white polka dots are such a classic pattern; you simply cannot go wrong with them! This top is no exception! I love how this top drapes in the front, yet hugs my body in the best way. This would look great with bright colored capris in aqua or pink for a late 80s does 60s look. I paired this top with black biker shorts, Black Mega Crush Crocs sandals, and Chairry earrings by Purple Banana. I had to honor Paul Reubens aka Pee Wee, duh! I love how this outfit looks so put together, yet a bit kitschy. Accessories really can change the attitude and personality of an outfit. This top is a great base that will work with so much in your closet. Its versatility makes it not only a staple in your wardrobe, but a great value because this will look great whether worn at the beach, to dinner, or to the office!
Molana Smocked Tank Blouse by Daniel Rainn, Size 2x, — Listed Value $64
Jami is aware of my love for all that is bright and bold and this top certainly fits the bill. The material has little stretch; I definitely could have used a 3x just for a little bit more room. The print is perfect for summer and has a retro 80s vibe with the pattern. This would look fantastic with shorts like I have on, a skirt, or wide legged pants and embellished sandals. I opted to wear this piece with the same biker shorts and Crocs in the outfits above, but tied in a pair of my favorite glasses from Zenni Optical! This would look absolutely precious with a hot pink mini skirt, over sized large brimmed hat, and platforms for a near end of summer look!
Rattani Crossbody by Aldo — Listed Value $70
This purse! I was tempted to keep it, but I have so many purses, I simply couldn't justify it! The color is a wild neon lemon shade, but has that more formal chain strap a la vintage Chanel bags. I wish I could show the chain off better, but I didn't want to take the plastic coverings over the hardware since I was not keeping this piece. This bag is a great size, you can easily fit in a cell phone, keys, and a few other items like cards, money, lipstick, etc. It really completed this bright outfit so well, but I could see it adding spice to a more neutral toned, casual ensemble too.
Cheyenne Woven Jumpsuit by Raga, Size 3x — Retail Value $120
Finally, we have a jumpsuit that I couldn't get on for the life of me! What a bummer that this ultra Boho number was a no go, but I probably would have passed due to the price anyhow. The material is a thinner, almost silky material, with little to no stretch. I was too afraid to attempt getting this on in fear that it might rip and disintegrate; the material is that delicate. I can see why Jami selected this piece, but honestly, if I am wearing a jumpsuit it is a must that the material is a thicker, more durable, and definitely more stretchy fabric. If this would have fit my bodacious bod, I can imagine it looking great all the way through to the fall months. You can easily wear this piece with beaded sandals and your favorite over sized retro sunglasses, but just imagine this paired with chunky wooden Swedish Hasbeens and an oversized, large knit warm camel toned cardigan. You could even layer a cream turtleneck underneath with a large statement necklace to top it off.
The Verdict
This month's Stitch Fix had some versatile wardrobe enhancing pieces! My stylist, Jami, truly takes to heart what might appeal to me in each and every selection. She even sent the jumpsuit because I had favorited it on the Stitch Fix site! I appreciate that she took the time to look through my bookmarks to ensure I get a Fix with me in mind. I am going to make sure to provide ample feedback on my opinions on the style and fit of each item to Jami to help her further for the following month's Fix. I truly can't emphasize how crucial it is to provide that information on subscription sites. Always provide feedback! Not only do I provide direct feedback, but I also "bookmark" or list pieces as favorites on the site for further direction.
Not to risk sounding redundant, but I also can't encourage enough that you provide your Pinterest and Instagram links. These will be great assets to your stylist; you are providing visuals on your style, body shape, and preferences on how to adorn and decorate your body. This is an essential tool to help your stylist send you your best Fix yet! An additional plus is that you have the ability to personally select pieces for your Stitch Fix as well! Each month after providing my feedback and my my next box date is selected, I am given the option to choose five of the pieces from a dozen or so my stylist selects. This is a great option for a self proclaimed shop-aholic!
