August Stitch Fix

It's been two weeks since my August Stitch Fix, but we haven't had internet at home for a couple weeks (it was terribly inconvenient).  Since I only had my iPhone, I decided this post, and all other posts, could wait until we were back up and running.  So here is what I got in my August fix.  (Photos are courtesy of my fabulous husband).

Here is the first item:

Item #1 Jaclynn 3/4 Sleeve Button Up Cardigan  

I loved the color and style, but it was just a little too snug.  As you can see, it pulled at the buttons and I can't keep something that is ill fitting.  I was sad to send it back, especially since it was the least expensive item in the box at $38.00.

Item #2 Milan lace Print Back Pleat Top 
When I pulled this item out of the box, I wasn't even sure I was going to try it on.  However, part of doing this is to try items I wouldn't normally pick out myself.  I was surprised I liked it.  In the end, I kept it ($48).
 

Item #3 Kelie Mixed Material Button-Up Blouse
I liked the color of this blouse but was not a fan of the style or fabric.  It was longer in the back then the front, and it was $68, which I felt was high priced for what it was.  This went back.  

Item #4 Madeon Geo-Print Front Pleate Blouse
I loved this shirt.  It was by far my favorite thing in the box.  However, it was too tight in my upper arms, which is a problem I have often.  It was a little pricey at $68, but I loved the fabric, design, and style.  I was so sad to send this back. 

Item #5 Gold Chain Wrapped Layer Bracelet
This was a fun bracelet.  But I don't wear gold.  And I wouldn't pay $48 for it.


So here is what my total bill looked like:

In the end, I kept the lace print top for $48.  My amazing friend Jen signed up for Stitch Fix which gave me a $25 credit, so the shirt was only $23.  (Thanks Jen!)  I get my next fix in a couple weeks and can't wait to see what I get next.

I have to thank my awesome Sister-in-law for telling me about Stitch Fix. and directing me to That's What We Said to check it out.  I received my first "fix" a few weeks ago and I may never go shopping for clothes again!  Okay, maybe that is a bit of an exaggeration, but I think that this will definitely decrease the amount of clothes shopping that I will be doing for myself.  

You start by completing your style profile at their website.  They have you answer some questions about size and style and then rate some photos of various clothes.  Then a personal shopper picks out 5 items that they think you will like and mails them to you.  You have 3 days to decide what you will keep and what you will send back (they included a prepaid envelope for easy returns).  You pay a $20 styling fee that is applied toward any items that you keep, and if you keep all 5 items you get 25% off.  I was a bit skeptical to try this out but figured I had nothing to lose.

When my box arrived I couldn't wait to see what was chosen for me.  I was amazed with how well the stylist did picking items for me.  Even my husband said that it was impressive how perfect the sizes and styles were.  My box contained two dresses and three shirts.  I wish I would have taken pictures of all the items, but I ran out of time before I had to send them back, maybe on my next fix.  I ended up keeping the following  two items and sending the other items back. (I love that they include a style card with each item)

The yellow dress is one of my favorite things, and is definitely not something that I would have picked out for myself.  I am excited to see what they will send me next!
